too many fakes here

lmao. I wondered the same. I'm a tufted titmouse. I was thinking it was some kind of mouse with fuzzy earlobes ... or ... well whatever. Why is a bird called a mouse. Makes no sense !

Most aspies are poor at multi-tasking. And many of the missing are at the age in which they are likely to start serious relationships or get good jobs. Maybe they are too busy with real life to maintain a significant web presence.

The other reality is that the last election was nasty and people didn't make nice afterwords. In fact, they continue to use words that are antagonistic. Is the title of the original post ironic or intentional? I think one can make a case that posts like the one that started this thread are why people drift away from web communities.

Too many people calling people fakes here.

I hope I don't come across as a fake.

I did not like the OP's post. It was negative and judgmental. I read somewhere that people with Asperger's were some of the most non-judgmental you would meet. How can anyone who has been judged their whole life turn around and judge another? I find a little irony in people who are, as a function of their autism - least per the "textbooks" - not in tune to the social mores of other people, being sensitive to being called fake ... a social judgement. I say ... IDGAF. Call me fake ... or not. It means little to me. I try to be a good person. Label or not, I've got issues and I'm doing my best to make my way in the world as best I can. I feel like I found a home here. For any of the rest of you who feel the same, don't let the OP's post bring you down. Their judgement means nothing. Ignore it ...

CockneyRebel,

You definitely aren't a fake. I remember when I posted under a different screen name ten years ago, and you always seemed real and sincere, one of the most positive people here, and also objective about the real difficulties people with ASDs face. I always liked your attitude. You and I share a lot of the same musical tastes as well.

You're too much of a Schultz to be a fake!

Multi-tasking is a very poor way to work, for everyone. It makes people dull and destroys concentration and focus. You are left with a pile of half-completed tasks and a mess.

I'm not fake when it comes to having autism, but I might be considered fake because I'm made of styrofoam.

If you were made of styrofoam, you would be quite breakable--but you would not be able to be recycled.

I wouldn't wish that upon my very worst enemy.

I wonder if Ezra makes that horrible squeaky sound that styrofoam makes when you rub it together when he moves. Also its bound to crumble all over the place and get stuck to anything staticky and be impossible to clean out of thick carpeting. Truly a terrible fate...

I personally believe myself to be a living basket of exotic fruit. The kind that someone only eats one fruit and then desides that they would prefer regular non-exotic fruit but the basket was given as a gift so they can't get rid of it until the fruit goes all moldy and weird. The life of a fruit basket is an interesting one.

Not to mention styrofoam is evil. It's dry .. and squeaky.

Your post beat mine styrofoam. yuck!

Not a fake - just got psych evaluation update on my Asperger's/ASD with ADHD last year as the last report expired.

But ...you are not AS fake as a basket of wax fruit.
