It's the way he refers to himself, that's all.

But surely God can be anything? Why always male? What does he have against women?
Actually, women in the bible don't have an easy time of it...

He's referred to as "He" in the Bible, therefore male. I'm sure he can be anything, but he chose to be male, therefore not female, obviously.

Though this particular fictional character isn't my favourite, so I may be wrong.

You win. That is hilarious from several dimensions.

"god" didn't make me an aspie for some pretty human reason. "god" is on such a level of higher consciesness that god doesn't think like humans.

My soul chose to be an aspie, because in some way shape or form a human wouldn't understand, it will help my soul learn/evolve/grow/reach a higher level of being/faster vibration for some reason.

I don't think it was some kind of divine creation. I think it was just a combination of genes.

Unsure, but I trust thermodynamics implicitly.

By the 2nd Law:

I am Autistic/AS - which is a disorder. Disorder is a state of entropy. That is, I am entropically favored.
NTs are just jealous.

But mostly so I could create and design and think without being encumbered by extraneous emotions. Mindblindnes has an intrinsic beauty and rythym (although it's hard too).

And maybe so I could have friends like all of you.

Apologies if some of you have already seen this video but I'll post since it's relevant to this thread. b9, you make me laugh (from several dimensions). Callista - I imagine you'd appreciate this one. Really cool (& worth the watch)!

Video note: Please watch/listen - this video below (embedded) will divert you to YouTube directly. Enjoy........
