Aspies For Freedom

What compels someone to name themselves after a family member? Honestly, what sense of identity could you possibly have left if you no longer identify yourself as...yourself. You have entered the realm where you call yourself and expect to be called based on your relationship to someone else. I can't be the first person to point this out.

Maybe because she is proud of her son and loves her son? I don't see anything wrong with her username at all honestly. Maybe she doesn't feel like giving her real name out, maybe this is what makes her comfortable, don't really see the need to question her on it.

Having some sense of personal identity is one of the things that makes us human. Regardless of whether that is your real name or not.

mattsmom, pleased to meet you.  Please don't judge this site on the basis of one person who seems to have missed the point of your email.  

At the preschool where I work we use a sort of treasure chest variation as well, an idea I thought up for the NT kids to use as well as the couple of AS kids in class.  

It's a treasure hunt, and I buy inexpensive "glitter confetti" in various shapes and colours and hide it in the sandpit in the playground.  On hot days it's a good way to keep the kids under the sandpit shadecloth while they all hunt for "treasure" in the sand and get to keep or swap the various pieces they find.

What's with the illusion that every forum contians only neurotypical parents of Aspies? I am under the assumption you haven't bothered [censored] to READ the [censored] front page.

Yes, I am an Aspie myself, and are just 5 years older than your son. This may be him at this age, do you choose to stop being cruel and deprevational, and let him have access to a PC - or even a book, if you've kept him that ignorant for so long. Maybe he'd stop buying into your NT propaganda, develop a personality, and maybe get himself out of the special-stream (from what I've heard, a development of anti-social behaviours and stunted educational development occurs when an ASD child is placed in one of these... PROVERBIAL GULAGS!). I had no choice, these lucky buggers get it easy, I've had to go through mainstream school for my entire educational career.

Also, as all NT's, you seem to lack a personality of your own and be devoted to the NORMALISATION of your son, while possesing underlying self-centric attributes. Since you're the mother of this son, I can deduce he's a half-breed. We (well, the resistance containing Subatai, Thor, Me, etc) don't take well to these, does he dare come into the chatroom while either of us are on, we will try and STAMP HIM DOWN TO SIZE. It's a horrible world when ANY NT gene is in CLOSE PROXIMITY of the Aspergian greatness >

I'm not entirely negative, I'll start on the positives:

What differs you from alot of NT sicko parents is that you've bothered to come here, an Aspie freedom advocation site - in which I salute you, as you're unlikely to be drowned with "your son will be *** forever"-type bull! (as you can see now, I wasn't acting like a 'troll' purely for negative purposes, I just say it as it is).

I hope good success for your son's education, and hope he doesn't turn out to be an anti-social moronic [censored] on an ASBO; but I'd also despise him does he get put into University education... evil elitist [censored]s! I WILL KILL ANYBODY WITH A DEGREE! I do have very communist ideals, they almost go onto the extremecy of Khmer Rouge and Juche (the former which encourages the destruction of intellectuals and remotely rich/urbanised people, the latter which is based on a policy of self-reliance).

Overall, I'm a very neutral person (not that I keep my opinions on the fence, oh no, sitting on the fence if for the pathetically weak, I can just see it from both positive and negative viewpoints). I hope you have a good time here. There are the very amusing, funny, and great revolutionary thinkers (Subatai, Me, etc) then there are the unamusing, capitalist, simpleton terror-Nazi's (Ian, Mich, etc). I am high, and it's [censored] fun I tell you! FUN! FUN TO BE HIGH!!!

I'm Aspie, and even I'm confused by the above rant!  So you're *against* special-stream education because they do so much damage to the AS child, but that in the next sentence they are lucky buggers because they don't have to go through mainstream school?  So are you for it or against it?  Or is it both?  Aagh - I can't take the stress - going to go have a cup of tea and a little lie down now...
Alison the "unamusing, capitalist, simpleton terror-Nazi".  Oh, I'm also a feminist.

Well, it depends on the child and the school, if a mainstream or a special school would be better.

Aspies are individuals, just like NTs are, so there's no easy "all-going" solution.

I've been on mainstream schools all my schooltime and that was ok, although I'd have prospered if there was some special adaptations for my personal problems. But every other kid would have prospered as well if there were special adaptations made for their personal problems!

Alison - I'm against both, but Special's more so for their proneness to human rights abuses of the Autistic kids    It's awful! It somewhat reinvigerates my appreciation for being in a mainstream school, and that's hard, and alot, to say!

DW_A_mom - She still has no right to be giving out THE REAL NAME of her son and lose her personality to the militance of converting her son into a conformer, rather than leaving his son to figure it all out (I've had little support sadly, it's only fair - and may well work better, if you stop helping him so much). When I was his age, I was much like him without the 'mommys little box' stuff. Now, I'm possibly going to get 5 A* grades when I get my exam results back. That was through myself. I pushed myself out of the dumber and less performing classes because of the people there, who were bullying and manipulating non-thinker [censored], and got myself into classes with smarter, more diverse, and more acceptant people. I can't actually remember the rest of the contents of your post... I should stop ranting. Ah crap. I've effectively lost. Not that there was an argument in particular but... my god... this is such an embarras... no. EMOTIONS ARE WRONG. Anyway, I have more mothers to bash, more NT's to humiliate, more half-bloods (NT-Aspie hybrids) to terrorise. I bid you aduei.

So you're banning me from your forum because I didn't knock someone up and have one of those little brats? Nice. As for the matter at hand, The Thing that has no name is putting her little brat at risk by having the kid slowly integrated into the world. I was thrown into a goddamn Kindergarten and left to get screamed at until I got used to it. Expose your child to the world instead of giving him "boxes" and acting like a stereotypical suburban ***. Then again, it might be fun to watch your child get real insulated and think that the world is sunshine and rainbow coloured ***, then watch him see someone get shot and have his head explode.

Is it possible that you are reading too little into this? And moreover, you said that I should leave, which indicates that you would like a tantamount ban from this forum without the formality of banning. Other notes(I feel like formality):
-All children are miserable. All aspie children are anyway.
-Suburban mothers who identify themselves as relative to their children are bitches.
-No mom likes their child getting insulted, but all get used to it. Inevitability.
-My anger and passion is what I do. It is how I live. I could not live happily without it.

Don't go around quoting the Rules like some freak, especially when you don't know what you're talking about. I didn't call anyone a ***, I told her she was acting like on, which she was. Noctivagus, if you go around attacking people for being immature, don't strut around like you own the place when you just got here. I have over 600 **** posts. And I am not trolling, I am questioning what on earth is going through someones head when they identify themselves by association and then complain when people join gangs so that they can belong to something. On a final note, I run off of the idiocy of people like you(refering to the two new ones).

Somebody has to quote the rules, act like an Aspie instead of an immature little **** and respect them.  

What the HELL does it matter what a person calls themselves when they're posting?  We have enough people who wish we didn't exist; we don't need to alienate the ones who want to know more about us and are trying to learn.  

As to you saying you're not trolling, kid, if it smells like s**t and looks like s**t  then it's s**t and no amount of hyperbole and justification is going to change that.  

I always believe everybody has every right to post their thoughts within the rules, but this level of viciousness is unbelievable!  I agree with DW_a_mom.  If you're not a parent, I respectfully suggest you get your peach-fuzzed a** out of this particular forum and go play with something until you mature.

Oh, and hi Noctivagus.  Looks like you just stepped into a war zone.  It's not usually like this! :smile:

It's about **** time someone gave me a curse laden post. Someone finally gets that telling me what I'm missing by not inviting a valueable new suburban *** will do no good whatsoever. You people should have realized this before; would have saved you a lot of time. I dislike the age factor being used against me, but this was the response that I wanted. I honestly pissed you off. And with that, I give myself a well deserved pat on the back, a flip of my middle finger, and a fine good day to you all on this horribly ****** up forum.

Minor lesson on plurailty. The sign on the main pages says Forums, plural. This Parents section is a Forum, singular. The whole thing, including General board, 16 and under, and so on and so forth, is not qualified as the forum. It is the Forums. I won't respond to any of your other insults, as they are all fairly basic and entirely unfounded. If you want to further comment on me, feel free to drop me a PM or go to the chat when I'm unbanned.

Postscript-My trolling was thought of after the fact. I just asked a question at first, but after getting such an ignorant response I just had to continue. Improvisation is the spice of life.

I can understand lack of empathy for a mother who's outright just trying to develop a non-motivated, moronic, and 'happy' cult of children. She is truly typical of suburbia, but I wouldn't go as far as cursing about it. The joys of being working class, where all you have is a crappy school and no 'help' resources to go by - I prefer this life.
