Aspies For Freedom

The last week or so  around 5-6:00pm I have been taking a walk on MY block. My block is U shaped.  I started with one loop then 2 loops now 3 loops. I only did 2 today.   On my first loop, I saw this guy on a bike coming towards me. All dressed in red. He gave me such a stare. He is black . I thought that maybe he didnt like me cos I am white/hispanic looking.
   When I came around the second time. He was asking by shouting if I knew anyone here.  etc  he was being very agressive. He shouted  that I look like a pedophile. He cursed and grabbed his crotch suggessting a course of action.  Now should I be afraid of doing walking loops on my block??

NT-ism is not a disability???

Joe, it is hostile experiences like this, from men, women, and children, too numerous to count over the years, that have stopped me from wanting to be near people and do simple activities out of the house.

I do make essential trips, and still have hostile experiences, limiting my exposure has at least minimized it.

Do NTs have these things happen often too, but shrug them off? Do aspies appear as easier targets for bullies?

Joe, why do you assume that this oddly-behaving person is NT?

Well random odds would be stacked towards him being NT.

Amy,  

         I would want to have more than the random odds to go by before I call anyone NT, especially in a place like NYC where lots of people think they are normal and really aren't

Well I've never been there, and due to a phobia of flying, its very unlikely I ever will, so I will take your word for it. :wink:

Maybe that guy was sexually abused as a child and is paranoid because of it.

Some black people are very descriminatory against white people - it's understandable, considering what they've been through, but it's not a good thing. Maybe you, unwittingly, have been going through "black territory" and this guy thinks the only reason a white(or white-appearing) man would be going into black territory would be to do something bad to black people, and maybe you seem to fit his stereotype of a white pedophile more than his stereotype of a white guy who beats up black men/rapes black adult women, so he (jumping to conclusions) decides you must be a pedophile looking for black children to abuse.

That may be true, But the fact is NTs are the dominant ones in terms of numbers.   And prey tell what is wrong with the autisitics do a lil dumping on now?? there is a karmic balance at work here.  I have been in fear many times not knowing what will happen next or why things are happening,. I have been abused and humiliated by NTs. I just find it funny that they have all these defenders when it is simply their turn to be afraid.
Okay i edited this to make it more clear. All I do is simply make phone calls and write letters and hold signs. And the NTs are scared, which is partly silly. They claime behind my back that I cannot be trusted cos you never know what he will do next etc  I have "strong opinions" Character assination by innuendo. SO they are afraid, It seems their theory of mind misleads them as to my intentions.
off to do my walk
thanks for the kind words.

oh jerry

you mean that he is black so now he dumping on someone else  since blacks were the dumpee

M said "I love to go for long walks. I am also afraid for my safety."

That is very much my problem. We have nice scenery where I live which is great for walks, but I am far too nervous to go alone. I am still nervous to take the children, but I do take them if I can and try to be as cautious as possible.
There are no malls in my area.

You want to get out very early in the morning, Amy. That's what I do. The other day I was out the house at 5.30 and went to a section of coast for a walk and to take a look at the rocks I'd been reading about. There was absolutely nobody there, it was great! You know, I really can't enjoy myself with other people about.

I also do the same if I've got to do anything in the local city; I make sure it's very early. I assume that any psychopathic types likely to mug me are still going to be in a drug/alcohol induced slumber before 10a.m

Well every time I hear about a crime like the woman who was just in a country lane and got stabbed recently, it is like a warning to me.
Early in the morning I would be thinking - so there will be no witnesses to the crime. :shock:

Indeed, it must play on your mind, something like that. But, I'd suspect things aren't nearly so bad in rural N Wales as over in the South East.

True, but they show us news from the whole country. :roll:
