negative feedback is absolutely fine (i wrote "useful critical feedback"). actually its very helpful. the problem here is straight attacks. i know, people have "PUA" burned into their brains and can't see past it. for the good of the autism community i am going to figure out which techniques are useful and how to present them in the right way. i know how tough life is for aspies. and i'm working my ass off to do this - even though in the long term others will likely take the credit since i'll be moving onto founding a technology business unrelated to autism.

you'll see the results soon, and "useful critical feedback" at that point would be most welcome. :-)


Don't mistake my reply as constructive criticism. (Yes, that's what it's actually called but I understand you probably find the word 'criticism' too negative.)

When I read your posts, all I hear is my whiny 4 year old. She likes to try and manipulate me to get what she wants, too. She's also quite fond of pretending I don't tell her no. My constructive criticism for you would be to wait until you've emotionally matured before you try to advise others on their inter-personal relationships.

awesome post, TeaEarlGreyHot.

^ Agreed.

And what I have noticed and also dont like is the insinuation that people with AS should learn PUA techniques to "get on in the world of NTs". What an insult to NTs to say that this is what they do and that aspies should also learn it. NTs do not use sociopathic techniques and hypnotism.

Don't you mean indirect attacks now? Now now were still waiting to see your Virginia Satir and Fritz Perls impersonations as we seen too of much of your Milton Erickson impersonation! Then again Death Eaters always back away from fights with Aurors. Which is the real reason why your avoiding going one on one with me!!

That sounds fair to me, actually. No one is ever required to respond to a post -- positive or negative. But, the elephant in the room is the fact that "the people who are positive or are providing useful critical feedback" are pretty few and far between, right? I mean, in general, the response to this body of ideas has been OVERWHELMINGLY negative -- if not outright hostile. I have to believe you when you say your goal is to help people with AS learn how to handle social situations better -- or something along those lines. The fact is, though, that just about everyone here (the majority of whom are members of your target audience, I assume) has recoiled in horror at most of these ideas. How does that influence your thinking on this? If this is truly an AS panacea -- the only solution, I think you called it -- why do you suppose so many folks are responding so negatively toward it? You've pointed out multiple times that you have AS. Well, you're not the only one. Don't you think at least a few of us would recognize a good thing when it came along???


i'm glad you see the gravity of the problem and how what i'm doing here is very difficult. actually this community isn't my target audience. my target audience will be the professionals who treat everyone here. but they charge $225-$300/hr to talk to and i don't learn much from them!

see, the truth is that this stuff works. not just works a little, it actually SOLVES the social issues for aspergers. it strikes right at the heart of the aspergers problem.

i know this is true because it happened for me personally. and i'm possibly the only person in the world who has studied intensive game AND has intensively delved into the aspergers community. i've spent time with some of hte top autism therapists in the world and learned very little.

so why do i endure this? because i'm right. this isn't an ambiguous thing. its a binary thing. there IS a solution to the social problems for autism. and it can be broadened to help EVERYONE on the autism spectrum. i am convinced this will affect hundreds of millions of lives. no joke.

the main problem is how to present it in the right way. thats the key problem. and i'm going to solve it because this is too important.

fortunately today i connected some key pieces together, and i'll keep working at it until this is clear for everyone. then i'll go away, and make an internet business unrelated to autism and not bother anyone here anymore :-)

I'm afraid that your reply didn't come within even a hundred miles of answering my question(s). In sum, I asked you how our overwhelmingly negative response to your ideas might influence your thinking. You asked yourself, "so why do [you] endure this?" and then you self-servingly told us.

I'd ask you -- somehow, in whatever way you can -- to give us a simple demonstration of your concern for those with AS and that you're actually listening, here. If you can't do that, then maybe you could explain why you're posting this in the first place ... and getting everyone all riled up? So that we learn how to return phone calls to our dads and be pleasant and forgiving towards bee keepers? Please. I hope whatever "revelations" are forthcoming are more interesting than that. Will they be?

I really want to know how we could be so far apart on this. You claim that "the truth is that this stuff works. not just works a little, it actually SOLVES the social issues for aspergers." While I don't see that you're even 1% of the way toward a "solution." Again, why the disparity?

because my explanation of how it works and how to apply it is way off. believe me, i'm taking tons of notes.

i'm taking something that teaches a normal guy how to get laid, and turn it into something that a 12 year old kid with aspergers can learn how to have more friends.

its like i speak chinese and am the first chinese person trying to learn english. i've felt slightly crazy while working on this, but today its like i learned both sides like to drink tea, so i'm feeling pretty good. i'll share the details soon.

BUT it also occurs to me that those being disparaging towards the OP seem to me (at least in written form) to be more naturally sociable and more socially skilled than he is, and I find the uncharitable attitude a bit surprising. Also belittling people is not a productive or valid way of dealing with anything.


If you dont know about PUAs the best way to start is read some of the delightful blogs of the people who started it, just to get the gist of their mindset. Dont forget to read the comments of the "followers" too.

Creepy and quite disturbing. Disrespectful, distasteful. And full of anger underneath it. I hate that stuff.
I believe that way of thinking comes from alienation and disconnectedness from other people.
Are you implying the OP is like that, or will be taught to think like that?

This man is one of the people who came up with the PUA stuff. And I dont think he is AS, I just think he wanted to sleep with lots of women.

the OP thinks that these typs of techniques can be applied to other kinds of social situations (like the maid or beekeeper) and somehow lead to emotional growth and even remove a lot of the aspieness from the aspie, so to speak.

I may have missed that, but I'm not sure he suggested emotional growth? I got the impression it was more simply attaining what he wants.

There a presupposition in NLP that best sums up that type of behaviour hun
Modeling successful performance leads to excellence.
Modelling behaviour from an idiot only leads to being an excellence & successful idiot!! ! :lmao:

that is absolutely NOT true.

roissy is not a creator of the game. the core guys are mystery, lovedrop and matador. mehow is also a key contributor along with neil strauss. roissy lives on the east coast, without exception the game guys live in LA. but i suspect roissy has AS, and thats why he posts the blog - he had problems emotionally connecting with women. certainly roissy studied game, as have thousands of others.

if we can reach the future roissy's of the world, we can teach them how to have loving relationships with women before they turn into people like him. and thats why i'm here.

you have to read the other PUA thread. like i already suggested. *frowns*

here are some excerpts that should answer your question (someone please tell me if posting these is against the ToS as they are from another thread):

guywithAS wrote:
remember as aspies the emotional development is delayed. he might be older, but he may be emotionally at age 12. thats the same for everyone here and its ok. he'll improve with time, i guarantee it.


guywithAS wrote:
this is why a lot of autism literature is wrong. social skills and social development is actually related to emotional maturity. the emotional maturity happens AFTER the skills are developed. it happened for me last year.


guywithAS wrote:
i'm going to work on getting the validity of this material as treatment for the autism community investigated. obviously it needs to be made "pick up free" before it will work for a general audience, but for the single guys here you can start now. on the autism professional front, i am already making progress and i have the resources to push this hard. the autism professionals don't particularly care that much; they already have their knowledge, they read the DSM every few years and keep reassuring you that you're ok. screw that, we can do much better

you can't really attempt to "diagnose" someone or even speculate if you don't know them personally.

if you know Roissy or any of those other PUA personally, i'm sure people here would want to know about it.

PUA techniques seem to inhibit proper healthy relationships (your examples from personal experience were no exception), so it doesn't really make sense to repackage them as doing anything else.
