Aspergers humbling?

Post Reply New Topic

Or if you are under 6, of worsening it.

You might be surprised just how much you matter to the world.

Like in "It's a Wonderful Life"

I think if one comes across as arrogant, even when not feeling 'full of yourself', people can still try to correct the situation by taking you down a peg if they can.

That's one of the ways in which medical cannabis helps aspergers with social interaction. The arrogance doesn't seem to 'glow' so brightly when under the influence.

Does anyone else find that? When you use marijuana people accuse you of being arrogant less often?

@CannabisForAutism Maybe you should start that as a new topic of its own? Would probably get more responses

Yes - or at least I did when I could get hold of it. (unfortunately "medical cannabis" is without meaning in the UK)
It mellowed the parts that other substances didn't reach.

People deal with autism differently.

I wasn't trolling so no 'comeback' was necessary. Sorry if you misinterpreted my post, I was merely sharing a quote that I like.

I didn't misinterpretate it , i was just being a jocular wiseguy.

Fair enough!

What is a coalbogey anyway? Is that what Ralph's feeling for in your avatar?

A bogie is a type of rail freight wagon, and ones which carry coal (hoppers) are sometimes referred to as 'coal bogies', so my user name is just a bad pun of sorts. The avatar is probably a bad choice too if I want to be taken seriously.

I think I know exactly how you feel. The fact that you are separated from the world gives you an independent viewpoint that is not polluted by being too close to the trees to see the forest. It does not mean that you matter less, but rather that you matter more because you can actually see the truth when others cannot.

No no, I know you weren't trolling - and I'm so sorry my post gave the impression I thought you were. I really didn't mean to imply that at all.
I just meant that I thought jamieboy's comment was very dry and funny, and it made me laugh out loud.

Cool...

Having life... being a human being with words (or images) racing through your mind, is the rarest most complicated life form in the universe. IF there are other intelligent beings in the universe, they will be like us. That is they too will have tens of thousands of generations behind them. And they will have languages, and words or images in their minds.

But... just because you are not part of a social group or collective doesn't mean that you will always feel so isolated. All of us are completely expendable, and the world doesn't stop turning whether any of us is here or not. If you want to be less isolated practice. Practice figuring out what those around you want or need and then provide it. It may just be a smile or a hand up the curb. Play with your existence and your relationship with others.
