Thank you everyone, I had got her ashes back on friday, and I was quite upset, because I had to place
her remains in an urn, its hard to see whats left of a loved pet, so I am keeping them with me and they
will be buried with my ashes. Yes female ferrets die if they don't breed, so the are spayed at 6 weeks,
sometimes younger, there has been a lot of talk that its the early spaying and descenting that may cause
cancer in them. I was thinking of just posting in Dino cafe, I also post as an individual, have really made
alot of friends.

oh I think there's a price to be paid for belonging to a group, whether IRL or online, you have to defer to agreed values and agreed 'leaders', humour other's illusions etc. I don't think I want to do that, and I'm like that in IRL too, so...

So your not alone when it comes to being ignored.

I haven't been posting much the last week and I missed that about your pet Spud or else I would have replied at the time. Sorry for your loss.

I never saw the ex-ferret post, Spud. Sorry for your loss. Don't they die if they don't get sex or something?

I've been posting quite a long time and I don't feel especially connected to any people or group here. I think some of the other older people like the Dino cafe because it's a 'they know me' environment. Some of the young people seem to form friendships. I just post as an individual. I got used to feeling unconnected and invisible here. That's how it is for me IRL too.


no, Postperson, you are not invisible, you are always around on WP.

By posting this you are participating. We all get off days when it feels like we are alone and nobody listens. Just post what is on your mind at the time. Aspie standards? What are they? All I know is there are a lot of people here who are as weird as me so I post whatever and whenever depending on the mood. It goes with the aspie territory.


high intellect, logical intuitive innovative thinking and creativity
are what i define as aspie standards.
i currently lacking those things because of certain "medications", i had no choice in taking.

there is no set criteria on WP as it's one of the most neurologically unique forums on the internet.
there are many levels,severities and forms of aspie on here,as well as autie,PDDNOS,nt,adhd,spectrumer etc.
WP couldn't be defined with one set criteria otherwise almost all would be kicked off.

no one is better than another,just because of differences,being at WP is the one thing that makes all autists [and non autists] as equal as possible,dont let anyone say are lesser for having differences or different needs.

if there are users who are saying that sort of high standards stuff,report them to the mod so they can speak to them as they are assuming they have a right to be discriminative and elitist on a forum that isnt theirs to control.


Also,
Spudnik,
if am had seen the thread,would have replied,as it's something am relate to [animals/best friend dying].

Hi City, thanks, I deleted the post in a fit of emo rage, I had posted it in one of the pet threads, and there it sat for 4 days, not even a remark like oh I don't like ferrets, or ferrets stink, at least that would have been something, its like the post killed the thread.


Sorry your pet died.

Got some people whose posts make my life a whole lot more interesting and a whole lot more enjoyable thinking that nobody's interested.

You're wrong about that, people. Hope you stick around.

Well in that case, I dip out.

Wrongplanet is a large forum. It is hard to get to know people individually.

Hope you guys stick around, I like the familiarity of seeing posters names I recognise.

Yeah me too, it's like when people change their hairstyles. I get bored with my avatars after a while.

So your not alone when it comes to being ignored.


If it's any consolation to you, I enjoy reading your posts. For some reason, in real life, I don't usually tell people what I like about them, and they think I'm a big a**hole for a few days until I say SOMETHING positive, lol, guess it translates here very well! Either that, or I don't exactly know what to say. So, I gotta say, when I see your avatar, I read your post, and I do enjoy them.

Also, your avatar rocks. And so does the name. :P

I enjoy your posts as well, I like your avatar, I haven't an avatar - but I guess the avatars I do notice make the people stand out in my mind better, if it's an avatar I like.

I try to aspire to be like the Dude, sometimes, in a moment of weakness, I get a little uptight. :)
