Why does this forum exist?
Why should I join a community full of those who have aspergers, when it would only serve as a crutch?
Do you view autistic people as so inferior that you can only see yourself as being dragged down by proximity to us? What does this say about how you view yourself.
Autistic people are part of the real world, and we can talk to each other.
Why does talk have to be "practice"? Is talk "practice" for non-autistic people, or do they talk to people because they enjoy talking to them?
Why wouldn't they?
Why would I want to join this? I ask this, not out of anger, or out of ill-will, but as an honest question. Why?
Because you liked the people here? If you don't, then I don't see a point. But the way you talk seems to include some weird fear of getting autie-cooties from us or something.

Autism isn't a lack of social skills.

I don't even like the crutch analogy to begin with. Crutches are things people use to get around if they have trouble walking. Saying "crutch" in this context always conjures the image that disabled people are just lazy or something.

How often does a person use a crutch unless they really need it anyways? In the literal sense. How many nonphysically impaired people walk around with crutches? Unless they're trying to get sympathy. But I haven't personally met anyone like this yet-- at least not of the limping-crutch variety.
Such a silly metaphor...

Troll or "curious aspie"....I think you need a lot of work on your social skills.You come across as insulting,prejudicial and narrow minded as well as lacking general logical progression of thought process(although I can only evaluate your thoughts by your words,as my psychic ability is lacking).I personaly dont understand why you, or others who find this site not to your liking/benifit, dont just avoid it.I have visited several sites that didnt fit what I was looking for and didnt stay around.
Here is something you can learn in your interactions with NT's......"If you cant say something nice,dont say any thing at all".

I find it comforting to read about things that people say/do/think and know I'm not alone, that other people do know about some of the issues I'm going through and can idebntify with me and in certain situations, offer advice that I may find helpfdul.
I also like to post advice if I have some and someone posts something I feel it is relative to.

I would very much like to post my own personal views in full; however, I have just come home from work and am too worn out from trying to fit in with NT's all day. As the Americans say, "go figure".

By all means...go ahead. I am interested to know what you did and didn't agree with.
