I'm not sure if this is the right place for this or even if there is a right place for this but after my last rant about mistreatment of Aspies etc. I felt I had to balance it with a more balanced (futuristic / hopeful viewpoint) and this is it.

Please visit my Facebook page, if this link (Tony Sandy)goes pear shaped as it has once today: This is my Star Trekkian version of where mankind can go and why. It relates to how I see reality working and is mostly visual, so will need to be viewed, not talked about (you can do that afterwards as it is bound to create discussion).

And people on the spectrum are accepted as people who are a little or a lot different and both are entirely okay. And our institutions are no longer so rigid. And it's okay to be different in different ways. :D

In fact, schools and workplaces typically run multi-path rather than single-path (a very positive potential change and I will be happy to explain this further). And ever so occasionally, people are thankful to autism advocates as well as to other advocates for greater authenticity for helping to bring about these positive changes.

That's the same way I see it, but you've worded it a lot better than I would have. :)

Will do. Try this (Hey, I'm trying to function as best as I can - you know how difficult it is for us!* (Took a migraine of struggle but I think I've got it right this time!))

Crossed fingers, legs and brain cells!

I hope nobody has a problem with people who always exaggerate their posts by ending them with apostophes!

* Seriously depressed after getting banned from a website because I over posted (spammed it to death with my ideas because I thought at last I'd found a home for them: NT reaction - suppress the enthusiasm as mentioned in a rant elsewhere)

paigetheoracle, I'm sorry you were banned from that other site. I think long posts are fine. :nemo:
