Aspies For Freedom

I was recently evicted from a church support group, soon after disclosing I'm aspie and asking for help with spirituality.  They claimed it was "for the safety of the group".  They refused to comment further on what sort of possible danger it could have been to have me in there.   Better still, when I asked if I could get an advocate to assist them with understanding, I received a message from one of the leaders saying I needed their permission to ask for help for myself, and I should ****off.

Needless to say, I'm not willing to be part of that any more.  But are we supposed to be dangerous?  Why do some people simply fear being anywhere near someone on the spectrum?  Ideas?

this could be classed as discrimination ( I think)

maybe you could contact disablity discrimination specalists?

can a nut company be sued for not putting "may contain nuts" on their packaging?

i rest my case. if not the group, the leader thereof.

You are better off without them...............Godshops never worked for me.

Tell them something like Gee, that's a shame, since like half the people in the bible seem to have AS...
A whole lot of the Catholic Saints seem to share traits... (Like St. Thomas Aquinas?  Esoteric Logic and Systematizing, anyone?)
A bunch of philosophers have traits... (Immanuel Kant?  I've heard stories, & that Aspie Esoteric Logic again)
etc.
etc.

I mean, really, if people can say Socrates had AS, I figure I can look at, say, Moses.  God tells him at the burning bush to go free his people.  Moses says "I'm not a good speaker"... and other such things.  Catch the drift?

I'm not sure about Socrates, myself, but hey, I think I've heard Issac Newton described as an Aspie.  At like 80 years old he was asked of his greatest achievement in his life.  His answer?  Life long celibacy.

What's the hallmark of the larger Old Testament prophets?  Brutal Honesty... and with kings no less.
I'm telling you.  It's interesting stuff -- well, to me it is, anyway

(this was just off the top of my head, nothing too serious)

No, but I am. Hehehe

No But I am, when the time comes.

if i knew those people i would go to there houses and (the next couple of words have been deleted).

What they did is horrible and they SHOULD be taught that u can't do that (aka, sued)

That is why Atheism is the way to go!

urgh

don't you just hate this kind of B.S ?!?

never ceases to annoy me

maybe I should find the nearest religous nut and say.....


"oooh look I have asperger's I'm not perfect like "god" made you i'm possesed with demons!! ooooooooo!!!!!! "

I know the bible preaches homosexuality as a sin (weirdly)

but do they think disabilities are sins as well?

in that case I'd suggest you start legal procedings for discrimination

they have not only forced you out because of your "disability" but they are now telling friends of yours that they belive you were lieing to them

belive me you should contact your lawyer and attempt to sue them

you don't deserve this

Jay, this thread is months old.

Featherways has been informed and advised

if you are not a troll, you have certainly gotten off to the wrong start with a lot of people.
as i have said previously, time will tell, but be prepared for the debate of your life in the meantime

I must say, I found this hilarious.

Jesus, Allah, Buddha - one of you guys, DO something!


and what do you mean, "to start"?
its been happening, on a lower scale, for years!

In Ireland and (apparently, according to Ocampo) Scotland, you have the "Troubles" between the caths and the prots
