Aspies For Freedom

GJ, im glad he knows how you feel about him and wasn't really offended. sorry for this comparision, but isn't being gay and having autism like the new "hate" of the century? i mean, like how whites hated blacks and treated them nasty, isn't it happening all over again with a different group this time?

hitler hated the jews, too.
i'm glad it turned out ok. hope you have just as much luck  the other one,Chris.

never can tell can you.

I havnt been on the "gay scene" or what ever its called cos well I'm in the country & there aren't any places to meet up like that :'(. I was diognosed with Asperger's when I was 15 & realised I was gay when I was 16. Though I never got teased bout my Asperger I always got teased bout bein gay, heck they had figured it out even before I did :S like 98% of my high school teased me for 3 years straight. & back then I didnt have as much social understanding as I do now, some1 could say hi to me & Id totally take it the wrong way, so u can prob guess how much worse it was when they were actually making fun of me.

I came out to my friends last year & they were all cool bout the gay-thing which was a relief, I told them all by email except my best friend who I decided to tell in person. Email was just easier. I also have Tourette's Syndrome so I was twitching the whole time before I told my best friend. I told my sister last month & shes also okay with it. Still havnt told my parents yet though, I'll tell them when I'm ready to openly tell any1 I'm gay. Though they may already know & just not said anything. I was the typical gay-kid, Id dress up in my sisters clothes & play with her barbie dolls & all that stuff. So they may already have figured it out I dont know.

I dont know wat its like to have a crush on somebody, I've never had 1. My best friend always tells me bout her crush & I'm just like ya I really cant relate. I pretty much have no feelings for people I dont know. I only have 2 male friends, one of which is also gay, but we've been friends since we were like 5 years old so I'd never be interested in him that way. But ya I have no idea what its like to have a crush or be in love. I'm not asexual (thats what its called when u dont want to have sex right) or anything trust me im a 21 year old guy the 1st chance I get I'm doin that but ya just never had or crush so dont know how to relate to people when they talk about them.

I'm a "cub" and an Aspie.  I'm about 6' 7" tall, very clumsy and awkward.  I'm semi-social (only go dancing).  I do enjoy dancing at the same club every Saturday night where I can let go.  I don't socialize with people in there at all.  I tend to keep to myself.  I usually use the internet as a way of communication.  I'm fortunate that I can do some things though.  I live in Los Angeles where you are judged in the gay community based upon your appearance, mannerisms, sexual preference, and most of all whether you have the money too.  It's really sad that many gay people put up a facade like we are "loving" towards each other and kind.  Many gay men are in "open relationships" too.  It's really sad that the real world isn't aware of the lies that the gay community is trying to portray.  I'm 37 years old and I have first hand experience knowing that my opinions are based upon behaviors and actions.

Nope.. I've never had a crush on any1 (as far as Im aware, it seems people know when they've got 1 & I've never felt anything out of the ordinary). Is that weird seeing as how Im 21, I dont have the slightest clue wats its like to have 1. I think its mainly cos 98% of my high school was a jerk to me so I have alot of trouble trusting people. Plus I have a hard time haveing *any* sort of feelings for some1 I dont know, Im guessing cos of my trust issues. I'm still attracted to people. On the rare occasions I go out I'll almost always see at least 1 guy I think is cute/hot but theres nothing else theres no feelings of actually liking them or anything...

Every now & again I'll see a female & its not so much *thinking* shes hot I just know that all the straight guys in the room would think shes hot. But even when I know shes hot theres still no actual physical attraction or anything unlike when I see a guy.

i wish you luck.

exactly. Good luck. I dont know if I could just ask a guy if he was gay, I think Id be scared hed be 1 of those macho types & with the slightest mention of the word gay would start going on about how much gay people suck & shouldnt exist... sry bad experiences from High School.. Though if u like the guy Id guess it would make it easier to ask..

Princess_Lukey I totally know that feeling.. Not in the exact same situation of course. I only came out (to my friends at least)last year as well. Be glad Adelaide has 1 place even if its impossible to pick up signals. Im about 3 hours away from Adelaide & this place is a gay-guys worst nightmare. Most peoples perspectives rnt exactly correct. Ur gay so u must be a freak, ur autistic so ur retarded & stupid as hell, if ur an individual in pretty much anyway ur an outcast..... Not great when ur all 3 of those things. Not every1 is like that but alot of people r. Espically well pretty much my entire High School, if I wasnt treated the way I was at that place Im sure I would have come out to every1 by this point. I have a really strong "gay accent" so I open my mouth & every1 in earshot knows but I just say no when I get asked.

Alot of my friends moved to Adelaide after High School & they all tell me hardly anyone up there gives a shit if ur different & I guess thats to be expected in a city. Not like that in this backwards country town of mine...

Had to mention this lol
I was just on the phone to an NT friend & she has this habbit of always asking hypothetical questions just to find out what I would do in a particular situation. She asked her younger sister a few days back if she would get "turned on" if she saw her BF kissing another guy & she wouldnt answer so I asked her if she would get turned on & she said she wasnt sure it would depend on the situation & since she knows Im gay for some reason she altered the question slightly & asked "what would u do if u were kissing a guy in ur room but then he went & used ur computer" & i thought about it for a while & replied "Well if he started browsing forums or something Id get annoyed, however if he clicked 'show hidden files' & started watching my porn collection it would be a completly different situation" & she started laughing hysterically & woke her 10 month old nephew up so she had to go take care of him. She knows I have a porn collection cos when she comes over we usually seem to end up talking about her ex BF & stuff about sex in general. Its good cos we can literally talk about anything which i cant really do with any1 else but its also quite odd as well. & now that she knows Im gay she talks to me about things she didnt used to like her BF so its like im her girlfriend that she always gossips to lol..... Quite an interesting relationship really.

I find it much easier to befriend females. Though I think thats more to do with my interests & what I like then being an Aspie.  Ive never liked sports (in years 6 & 7 at primary school I refused to play them lol) & my main interest is Anime specifically the magical girl genre & most shows in that genre r aimed at 4-13 year old girls. If I tell a guy that he automatically thinks Im weird & often come to the conclusion that I must be gay for likeing such girly things & I am gay but so not the point. I tell a girl & they still think its odd but *most* just get over it.

At school almost my whole group were girls, the only other guy I hung out with also happens to be gay lol. I dont get along with really macho guys. My interests alone make them treat me like a freak & I dont care about any of their interests. So we have nothing to talk about. Sports, cars & getting drunk dont interest me in the least. Alot of females r more accepting of me, dont really know why but Im far from the typical male which they seem to like. Plus being gay they know Im not going to try & do anything freaky with them & it just makes it easier.

I have a few male friends but not many. 1 is 1 month older then me but he's my gaming buddy, the only thing we ever talk about is video games. 1 is 10 years old (lil bro of a friend), another is a year younger then me but he moved to the city & we dont talk much & the last is 15 & very much a typical NT male (younger bro of a friend).

~random story for no real reason~

A few nights back 1 of my friends in the UK introduced me to 1 of her friends cos she thought we'd get along & we totally hit it off. Pretty much the 1st thing she said to me was "do u read Yaoi/Shounen-Ai by chance" & i was like "i do but id like to get more" & we started talking about it & when i mentioned I was gay she was like "OMG I've always wanted to meet a gay guy" (im guessing cos shes a hardcore Yaoi-FanGirl) & a bit later when I mentioned I even have 1 of those ultra thick "gay-guy accents" she said "OMG THIS  IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE" lol & i sent her about 30 Shounen-Ai pics & i told her some good places to get some from & she now considers me her Yaoi-Buddy lol. We both want to get a T-Shirt that says "Ai Yaoi" (Eng = Love Yaoi) or something along those lines & i told her where she could get 1 from & she thinks Im great lol.

I'm planning on getting my mic up running so she can actually hear me & if its like her reactions before she'll love it lol.. Its pretty funny we have alot in common she's *almost* a female me

Alright "logicalconclusion," you've gone over the hill with us.

I say to take your form of bigotry, prejudice, and Aspie elitism to another place that will embrace it better... try WrongPlanet perhaps, I hear they have more than a few Aspiecentric types over there, you'd fit in quite well.  Those who like to promote views conflictive with the model of tolerance, as necessary in any movement (esp. the Asperger's movement), can defend themselves better with numbers.

I've just caught this post of yours, and realize I perhaps went a bit overboard in my last comment here...  *shrugs* I should read the entire thread before replying.

Did my post help with that..?
