Aspies For Freedom

Rant:

'Brightness' is so much more than some stupid IQ test can measure. I HATE IQ TESTS!!!!!!!!! They are divisive, and meaningless in measuring the overall person.

(That's my rant!)

Hey, don't go!

I don't take part in the political or science threads much either, except to make a joke sometimes! And most of the music threads leave me totally baffled. But I won't say 'I'm obviously too old/female/thick to participate so I'm leaving".

You look at a well-typed post and don't see the time and effort it has taken to tidy it up for posting. If I my keyboard had no 'back/delete button' the majority of my posts would be impossible to read.

You seem so unhappy. I wish there were some way of convincing you that you are a really good person. May I try?

There are a lot of us who would really miss you if you left.

The threads you post to are improved by your posts.

You make us think.

You stand up for people who are being bullied.

You are the brightest of us when it comes to 'cutting through the crap'!

Well that sounds ***.


Rant: All of you people that twitter and twatter about me being immoral, if you think business is immoral you should see what all your so called heroes like vlad the impaler and genghis khan did ;p yeah, they pulled some funky *** didn't they ya wapanese self polluting perma virgin HYPOCRITES!

Oh no it's some commie *** called Arsanerit from the chatroom ;p

Dooh i'll club him and eat his bones.

I spent a week in Townsville. That was quite enough Queensland for me, thanks! I have great admiration for anyone who can even tolerate the permanent sauna conditions in tropical states, let alone find the energy to make a living there!

I agree. So I'm going to wear an 'Autim SA' t-shirt for my birthday party on Saturday.

I think I'll add "Aspie-licious 50-year-old" across the chest!

OK, WfM - is there nothing 'weird' that I've done in my life that you haven't done first?!

I don't have rules, as such, but have often found myself becoming better friends with 'friends of friends' than with the 'original' friends (oops! silly sentence!).

The usual pattern has been for both me and the new friend to start including the other in general invitations, followed by specific 'dates' with only the new friend.

She sounds like she is very lucky to have you Ellen

I like it! Much better than the twenty-somethings' version (in England, anyway):

'ARSED'

As in "I couldn't be arsed to go out";

"Could you be arsed to get promotion?" etc.

I was thrilled last Wednesday when I found a book in the teacher's resource library titled 'What colour is Saturday'.

Sadly, it wasn't about synæsthesia but about encouraging creativity and lateral thinking in students by the juxtaposition of incongruous concepts.

Actually, I'm not certain any longer what colour Saturday is (it has faded from the brilliant blue of my childhood) but Monday is still Black, even if it is no longer in the kitchen on Sunday evenings....

Also, I believe that telegraph poles are trying to take over the world, in collaboration with the giant space hamsters that gave birth to them.


That's probably more feasable than our genes having descended from what amounts to Inbred Neanderthals ;p

Way to dehumanize.

I'm as human as anyone else, I don't believe we're some other "species" of human.

Interesting idea, Zakkie.  I like your distinction.  
I hate being asked to help out with job interviews because I have a hard time giving a "first impression" of someone and deciding if he or she would be a "good fit".  I'll typically have a strong positive or negative hit on a small percentage of people and for the rest, I'll say I don't have enough data.  

It reminds me a bit of times when I'd be the only female in a group meeting and someone would ask:  What do women think about X?  

As if my opinion could possibly represent the "women" category?  NOT!  So odd.

Yes, that would be great. I could see myself writing something and if there was some way to get my artworks better known, it might help. However, I don't have the personal charisma that is needed to get others onto our side.
