I will defend myself anytime, anywhere, if I feel that I am threatened (which is a good 80-90% of the time). I am usually attacked by the religious right. I feel as if I am fighting a one-man crusade against all of society. It is not only destroying me, but I am to the point where I have overdosed on my mood control medication in an attempt to "behave." It is because of an event where people in my highly religious high school ridiculed the fact that I had Asperger's. I said to myself, "I will make sure each one of you feel the pain I am feeling right now." I started slowly, then started escalating my attacks on them. The fact is, in high school, I had no one fighting alongside me in this crusade to cleanse people of prejudice.
Then I gained my army. A whole new set of friends. Hundreds, more numerous. Think Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, except without them turning on the Jedi. That's how many more I got. An army. Now the crusade for Asperger's has an army. Many people think I don't have it, but it's there, it's very much there. People have come from all walks of life to help me complete the ultimate comeback, coming January 2009.
Some quotes for all of you: "School is supposed to educate you, not destroy you, not bring you down. But then again, school ultimately did fulfill its purpose: it built me back up."
"Now with hundreds of persons backing me in my crusade to cleanse the ignorant, I have been built into what Wood Rose (my high school) wanted me to be: their ultimate weapon against the heathens. But what they do not realize is that their weapon fell into the hands of their supposed enemies, what they call 'heathens.' There is nothing to be afraid of, Wood Rose - let the sweet bullets of karma pierce what you believe to be the invincible body of Christianity. The candles you light and tell everyone to live by, they will be extinguished soon. For I fought three long years, and finally I am going to make you realize how wrong you all were about me."
Hmmm.
If you wish to fight them, or rather us (for I am an Aspergian Christian, nor am I the only one) you will need to master our weapons: the Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God.
