Aspies For Freedom

I broke the links to ASpoisoners to prevent raising their google rating.

quite right too

:lol:  :razz:

I wonder if Dr Phil shines his forehead with Mr Sheen?  :smile:

I had a look at that site and Amy you did the right thing breaking that link, what horrible, selfish people.
For those that don't know me, I am NT, very happily married to an AS man who is clever, funny, gifted, caring and a brilliant father.  I am distressed and disgusted by these people, Amy, Poisoners was the right description.

We have asked the admin in the past if they can see how harmful the atmosphere is there, and can they use a different description to avoid aspies finding it by mistake, thinking that its a help forum.

The admin were less than helpful, and just delete any posts that are positive about aspies.

.....and it just gets better by the minute!! (sarc)
perhaps I'll just post a few about how great my AS man is and see what happens but then again I don't want to be part of a site like that, think that's why I'm here, so much nicer.

Envy can bring out people's bad side. Some will be jealous that you and your guy have found happiness. But maybe your posts there will induce some people to reflect on themselves.

good point energeia, I will think about it

I worry about my son coming across that site in the future and how it could seriously affect his self esteem.

I tried to get on it one time so I could see what people here have been talking about but with my ancient computer the site took so long to open that I gave up.

Are there any guys on there complaining about AS women, or is it mostly women complaining about AS men?  And if the relationships are so bad, why did they get or stay involved in the first place?  Back when I was attempting to do the romance thing, I had people break up with me and in retrospect I can see how ASness was a contributing factor.  And I broke up with people because they wanted more from me than was within my capacity to give.  I don't see shame in a relationship not working out if the people involved are honest with themselves and to each other.

But why be in a relationship that you're always bitching about? (Okay, I suppose maybe people need a place to vent, I don't know.)

I have never seen any men posting complaining about aspie women.

I too would worry about my kids seeing stuff like that, we are very positive about AS in this house and tell our children that having AS is a bonus, whilst of course making sure our two NT children see it as a bonus although daughter number one did have a major paddy a couple of years ago because she wanted it too.  (She was about six or seven at the time)

New opportunities to get attention and fish for sympathy? Probably a factor of varying degree in atleast some of the cases.

I'm not too sure about this "venting" stuff anyway - isn't it just being used as an excuse to trash somebody else's reputation and be nasty?
