Aspies For Freedom

You're AGAINST curing autism? So if they found a cure, you'd be against it?

Way to go sherluck! What was you first clue?!! :roll:

Why? You'd rather have a person who can't function in society than one who can and lead a normal life?

The assumption here is that someone who leads a normal life can function.

Why are you against a cure?

Read the aims of AFF available from the front page of the site.

I function quite well within my limits and I'm against a cure as well! :razz:

Peace

We're not the problem, everyone else is the problem.

They can't cure me, since I'm not sick. For me, having Asperger and Autism is being Joel, and I couldn't ever be happy without being me. So then I ask you, why shouldn't I be proud of being me?

The ''cure'' people tend to try and think up is changing someone's utter being, rather than taking away difficulties, you can't call it a cure, it's just reprogramming they'd be doing.

You proceed from a very false assumption. You assume that nobody who has Asperger's Syndrome can function in society. Men like Albert Einstein, Andy Warhol, Dan Ackroyd, or Bill Gates would disagree.

And yet they need large amounts of help to do so, some more then others. Oh Albert Einstein, talk about assumptions. Even if he shared the same wiring “they” beat you in the intelligence department anyway with having Tesla.

Sorry Void, but nobody has ever helped me to write 400,000+ words and present them for publication. In fact, people I should be able to count on for aid have made attempts to discourage me from doing so. Nor did Albert Einstein receive any aid from others. In fact, during all of Einstein's life, Hans Asperger's research went largely ignored. If it is even possible to imagine, Einstein received less help with living and learning than the eldest of this board's members. His early schoolteachers even told his parents that he was ***. Name one of them and I might even stop laughing at your statement that an Aspie necessarily needs anyone's help to do anything.

And what on Earth makes you think that Nikola Tesla was a straight-laced normie? I am pretty fond of the Rotten.com quote "Using the coil, Tesla asked himself: If the Earth can conduct electricity, and the electricity vibrates around the world in waves through the planet, just how much electricity can the Earth hold? A reasonable question! He could think of no better way to answer that question than by dumping as much electricity as he could generate into the ground, just to see what would happen." Yes, that sounds like a very regular and normal individual to me. :razz:

Albert Einstein's Aspieness has been confirmed by evidence, by the way. So where are these large amounts of help to function you speak of? Or should your whole statement be written off as normie falsehood?

Thanks! I was looking for that link for the last four years!

Back on topic...errr, wait... We've explained everything we can explain, check the AFF site for the guidelines, and re-read the thread if you don't get it, no further discussion is even possible without it deforming from its intended topic, and don't feed the trolls IM, they'll only get bloated.

Very good post there Vejita, I agree 100%. This is why I'm happy describing AS has a "disorder", if mainstream, consumetist society is "order", I'm happy to deviate from that
