Aspies for freedom?

Post Reply New Topic

Has anybody been there? is it any good? I don't really think it is. the people there are not really like me at all. My first post had anti-NT content and i was called a troll for doing it. I was told i was trolling the forum by saying anti NT remarks. I said

"When I am at my most rage I get angry thoughts like starting a holocaust and killing and torchering the normal people because "THEY cause all the problems for us Aspies, THEY cause all the worlds problems!" but I only think like this when I am angry and than I feel bad after."

They think I would really do that when I would never want to hurt anyone. They spoke to me like a patent more than a fellow Aspie. I really don't think these people are Aspie.

What does anyone think about www.Aspiesforfreedom.com?

Yes AFF is good. Anti-NT remarks are by their nature Anti (Everyone who is) NT. As I said there this includes my daughter. I know at least one person diagnosed who posted there - Rossco - me.

Benefit of the doubt - maybe it was poorly worded or you are unsure of how to conduct yourself. THat's OK. Have a look around read a few threads get to know the personalities and join in. I expect you got off on the wrong foot and will start to find your feet here.
I look forward to your contributions in future and hope this was a false start only.


Do you know what you did instead? You posted here trying to bring dissension between the two forums.
But why did you choose to post there originally?

"Why did i come here? because Wrongplanet.net is too crowded and has too many people that you can't even make a friggen statement!"

Have you been making derisive statements here too and then telling people at AFF that WrongPlanet is no good because you can't make statements such as the one's people here have found fault with? If so stop making bad statements and you will not be feeling bad when people call you out or retaliate against what offends them. It is pretty simple.
Do not try and start dissension between the forums. Both are good forums and there are a lot of members who belong to both.

I'm a member of AFF as well.

I've been there once in a while. I think for the most part what I found were a lot of the same names I saw here, a few other people, but nothing really refreshing enough to keep me going back as regularly as here.

People always neglect the Auties
I’d like freedom too
though I don’t know about those other few

I found it quite boring.

I have had the same patronizing behavior when I have posted on Aspies for Freedom. I am not certain why the moderator thinks they have to moralize with people who don't think like they do, but I found it rather insulting. I don't post there any more because - lets see if I can recall exactly what they said

" your world view is not compatible with the majority of posters on this forum"

well, DUH! I am a 56 year old newly diagnosed Aspie who never knew about Autism or AS!

I was new to Asperger's Syndrome Disorder at that time and thought maybe I just found another place I didn't fit in. Now, after 8 months of WP, they can 'eat my shorts!'

I like WP, I am more FREE here!

I'm going to have a look, then make my mind up.

I already have freedom so why would I want to asociate with them? Sounds ablist to me. They are too anti-NT.

A large percent of aspies hate over moderation and if that over moderation also seems
to push a few ideas while silencing many others it farther limits the number of aspies that would want to hang around there. WP has the correct formula for an aspergers forum site of allowing the maximum flow of ideas while suppressing only the most extreme disruptive people.

its geigh imo

Ok first of all........both forums I am not sure what is better Wrong planet seems to have very cool interesting people but AFF is a smaller community. I am not sure. I have frequent mood swings about everything and my opinions so I just wasn't thinking. I haven't had much sleep latley
please forgive i'll play nice from now on and get more sleep.

I found it quite boring.

1. There isn't much activity
2. There was mostly adults and mostly discussions on parenting.

At least this was when I posted there.

WrongPlanet rocks. WrongPlanet is RightPlanet.

Yeah they do kind of suck...but smaller community. For some reason that forum is HIGHLY depressing i don't know why but it just is.

I tell them my darkest thoughts and thoughts and than they go "You need Help" well DUH I have behavior and social interaction problems. Thats why people come to the forum to discuss there issues not being told "you Need help" because obviously people go to that forum to get help.I am I am getting help by the way I have had help since day one.

There was a topic about fascinations with guns and weapons here. If the poster said that on AFF
they would just say "Get help, you need it" here on WP they actually discuss the issue not just say "You need help' to everything that is violent or offensive. These are Aspie thoughts..... dont people on AFF understand the pain an Aspie has to go through with ignorant NT's destroying their life? and the pain an Aspie has throughout school? I sometimes dream of revenge but they are thoughts I fantasize about punching those girls in the head who called me "Stupid special needs"
and harassed me for years I think there is a percentage of Aspies who would want to plan revenge. When I am in high anger I fantasize about taking a machine gun and blasting those kids like a video game.

Other times I have peaceful revenge thoughts like fantasizing about being a rock star or something and the kids who were mean to me kicking themselves because they are working at Mcdonalds And the "Stupid Special Needs Girl" has a really awesome life and if only they were nice to "Stupid Special Needs Girl" they would have a fraction of my fame and fortune.


it's fun to think like that

Stupid Special Needs Girl Strikes Again!! (in that superhero kind of way)

That's what I think about bullies and people who don't give a damn about school; they'll be ending up with a crap job with minimum wages in a few years from now.

You have to remember that aspies take things literal, and as they dont know you, they believe you are for real and that you might actually do that, so that may have scared them, either they thought you were serious about doing criminal things or thought you were just messing with them, troll.

And shouting anti-NT remarks, I dont think is a good idea to do that in a forum where there are also NT parents or NT family members of an aspie participating in it. Wether is here in WP or on another forum.

I understand you being upset I watched the video about you talking how you were feeling, that you felt hurt and I felt like crying, if you let me I would like to be your friend, I like the Beatles too, I was kinda obsessed with them as a kid.
