Aspies For Freedom

Leaving the U.S., I mean.

Philippines.

I am actually married, been together now for 16 years almost! We have two boys, one of whom has Aspergers and the other is more profoundly autistic.

I found dating quite hard, getting a girlfriend wasn't too hard but KEEPING one! OMG I used to really upset them!! But my wife seems to have some aspie traits of her own, not enough to get her diagnosed though. I drive her crazy sometimes as she can't spring things on me spontaneously and any change in the days "plan" can be tough to deal with. But she is very patient and I love her to bits.

I've heard tell of some women who actualy PREFER aspies to NT guys!

You mean NT guys preferring aspie wimmin'? Haven't heard of any of those I'm afraid!!

Erm....it also says in the bible that insects have four legs, a beaver is a fish, it was also quite acceptable to give your daughter as a sacrifice to god for winning the battle, and genesis chapter one is at odds with chapter 2 as to whether man was created before or after the animals.

Those are just a few examples, I could dredge up many more!!

Go to the Skeptics Annotated Bible website if you like.

Homosexuality has also been discovered in over 1500 species apart from humans. It is not a sin, it is a fact of life.

Yeah more examples please...."Beaver is a fish"

Yawn, I would, but it will have to wait, in Blighty it's 5.30 in the morning and after having trouble sleeping earlier, it is time for me to go back to bed.

Rain is right - we are very gross creatures indeed!!!

Reasons why we were not created by god (By Irish comedian Dara O'Brieen)

1. Just look at yourself in the mirror some mornings! Created in god's own image?

2. If we were created by an omnipotent being, why do we still occasionally bite the insides of our mouths?

3. The appendix. Of no use, except to explode and kill the odd person now and again.

Try this link for the appendix. Rain was kinda right there.
Independant, use for the appendix

Well, after 20 odd pages I think it had been demonstrated that aspies can indeed get a girlfriend, or boyfriend for that matter, so a tangent wasn't overdue ....but.....gallbladders! Quite a leap!

No probs with the old gallbladder, and long may that continue, but when I was 8 I had abdominal surgery for something else and they took my appendix out while they were in there anyway.  No one told me till after the op and when I asked for my appendix in a jar to take home, they told me they'd chucked it out!!!!  I was outraged, and em, I'll probably never get over that callous, high-handed attitude to my lovely appendix.  Sniff!

My grampa had his appendix in a jar, and my mother kept expecting to find it when she cleared the house after his funeral.  It was never found and I think my mother has a lingering suspicion that my granny may have accidently donated it along with jams and pickles to a church fete!

Lol!   I had to read that twice, compgrokker, to work out the various relationships.  Not helped by the fact that I didn't know initially whether you were male or female.

So, anyhoo, yes indeed!

Why are you trying to start a fight, ocampo?

She said it was "kinda cool", and the rest of what she said is consistent with her expressed views of heterosexual behaviour.

I'm fed up with all the fighting, and I'm not the only one.

I notice that you have adopted the Rainbow Ribbon as your avatar.  In my signature you'll read the thoughts of the guy who created it and what he intended it to represent.

Luck!

Ooops, that was for Zyggy, for Thursday!

Perhaps you would be good enough to tell us all what that agenda is, Max?

(Now I sound like a teacher! )
