Getting hate for glamour

[SpiritTamer]

This screams of being a troll post.

I don't think so. Many times when upset at something, I will say to just get rid of the thing that has caused me to be upset even if it's something I normally enjoy. I am diagnosed with autism.

autism.

It is a rather serious condition though because serious Autism may lead to people literally murdering other people for small reason by completely over exaggerating what really is happening. Of course in their minds they think they did the right thing but in reality their ability to handle things rationally is more difficult than certain people would normally handle things easily brush off.

What? Dude. People with autism are not likely to become murderers. They don't understand social queues and sarcasm, and they don't like being touched. On what planet does someone like that go, "NOW I KEEL U!!!"

If you're thinking of guys like Eliot Rodger (the nut who shot up a sorority house because he couldn't get a date), please don't associate someone like him with people who have autism or Aspergers. People on the spectrum have issues understanding emotions as other people express them. They simply process the information differently. That's waaaaaay different from suffering from something as extreme as malignant narcissism or antisocial personality disorder where you view other people as objects. There's a big difference between Rain Man and Deadpool!

Was it the extremist of extreme examples? Yes. But, with that being said, the point they're trying to make that our brains are wired differently and we perceive and react to situations differently, and often with a black and white thinking approach, remains valid. Notice as well that they're focusing on serious autism (or as we refer to it as, low functioning autism). Now, I only have experience with the high functioning side of autism, but it can go to that, as we struggle with managing the stresses approached in society. And we handle them differently.

This is the first I heard of that. I am not a violent person at all. I may yell, but never hurt someone. I usually want to be left alone when I have a meltdown, but my boyfriend can quickly calm me down.

So, You're in effect labeling all autistic individuals as potential murders by virtue of their condition? Well, OK then, lets see, murders have been committed by men, women, football fans, basketball fans, baseball fans, soccer (also football) fans, snooker fans, football players, baseball players, smokers, drinkers, users of recreational drugs, depressed people, angry people, sociopaths, psychopaths, people under duress, etc - the list is quite literally endless. That doesn't even include all the murders by criminals and terrorists and for that matter the casualties of war which are considered by the victims families to be murders also. Should we label anyone in one of those groups as murderers? Oh, video game players also...

The irresponsible nature of your remark about Autism actually offends me, as does the ignorance behind it.

Of course in their minds they think they did the right thing but in reality their ability to handle things rationally is more difficult than certain people would normally handle things easily brush off.

All you're talking about is diminished responsibilities and judgment issues which 100% of the population will at sometime suffer from.

You need retract your remark about Autistic individuals and apologize, it was uncalled for and is offensive.

One more thing. The kind of ignorance displayed in this topic is what got a care worker, trying to help an autistic young man who was sitting in the middle of the street with a toy truck in his hands, shot by the police. Police who were too freaking dumb to understand that a care worker who was laying prostrate as ordered by the police is not a danger, and a toy truck is a toy truck. The level of ignorance among the general population about autism and the impact it has is amazing to me.

And autism has a scale. Not everyone's case is severe.

Exactly. The autistic people on this forum are almost certainly going to be on the high functioning end of the scale. We can mostly function in society, but we often do need a little extra support. With me for example, just being straight and upfront with me is all you need to do. Example today: Someone said they felt I was stalking them. Clear message sent. I left them be (I hadn't realised I was making them feel that). Few hours later, we've now been back in game doing stuff together and having a blast. That clear communication meant I could understand what has happened, and resolve it.

Define "severe". I am unable to live on my own, or get a job, or drive. I am not violent, but I can't live like a normal adult.

Well. You. Severe is a "violent" word but in purest definition: Very great or intense.
