awr, well then these people were no good...
the lgbt group seems the worst though, i mean those kind of groups should be accepting and such, they should not discriminate in any form. Gays can get quite offended if they are discriminated again, so why should it be acceptable to discriminate against aspies.
Do you have quite a stong form of AS?...good on you for telling people about it outright though...
Every group always says that about every other group. I've been in enough groups to notice that they can't all be right, and something else must be going on. The only other common factor, then, is me.
However, if I ever bring up the the suggestion that they are not as open as they think, then I am almost yelled at.
I recently turned 28. I have alot of coping skills, and can largely hide my autism. However, my most used coping mechanism is a sophisticated form of avoidance, in that I can be around people, and even talk to them, while carefully avoiding any complicated socialization. I try to use this less, so the effect is that I merely appear confused. More so, I am simply not normal. They do not discriminate against me because they identify me as autistic. They don't accept me because I am me.
