[quote="vermontsavantok well this is not intended to be self pity or an excuse.look.i did go to college and i spent my whole childhood in institutions run by the massachusetts social services,i dont know proper grammer.i do the best i can.i think the spirit of my post bring up good issues.can you comment on that.im not stupid i play classical piano.sorry i dont use words well.[/quote]

I understand that not everyone has the benefit of a good education, but it would be a bit easier to read your posts if you capitalized the beginnings of sentances and put a couple of spaces after every period. Almost no one here bothers with perfect grammar, but that would help.

Also your friend sounds cool.
.im glad you brought that up.the notion that aspies,hfa's and nvld,s are condecending or out of touch with other autistics is a falsity


Some of us probably are, just not all of us. I agree that the generalization, the idea that no one on the spectrum who can live in society cares about those of us who struggle more, is stupid. A lot of us do care.

another thing is that sometimes a autistic with a more severe sensory input disability for what ever reason may struggle less in life than aspies,hfa's and nvld,s.check out my other post on questioning politics.it is not a re hash of this topic but a quest to find out what people on this forum frustrated with the asan and autism speaks thinks about a new direction of autistic politics
