Aspies For Freedom

Well, alot of stuff has happened since I've last being to AFF.

Lets recap:

12 straight hours of Kal Online in one session.

Came close to suicide.

Watched the n00blet NTs spam and troll threads and then bitch to no end when they get a taste of their own medicine.

Realized that anti-flame rules don't apply to me.

Found out that they don't apply to flamers either.

Plan on meeting a friend of mine in New York this summer.

Ran for two miles to our house when the van broke down.

Sat down and started typing this post.



Wow... life sure is exciting.


So, how's everyone tonight, because I need to convince my NT mother on something...

So, I talked to a friend of mine last night on Ventrillo, and she helps lift me up out of another pit of depression, caused by my mother of course. She also said that I should come and visit her and the other guys on the channel(this was in the private room) this summer, and we began the plans.

Now, my mom thinks that 10/5ths(yes, 10/5ths) of the internet = pedophiles. So, I need to convince her to let me stay with my friend for a month or two over the summer at New York so I can recouperate from all the stuff that's happened in the past year(and a half, by that time), and get a bearings on life and stuff. The plan is that I work my ass off to get good grades, talk to my mother about it, introduce her to Kat(the person that I'm talking about, and she's not my GF, btw), and then get a job and work to pay for everything. I'm 14, and Kat will be 21 at the time...

Online friends can be very nice, but you should be very cautious in meeting them. Why? I've found out that they can seem to be very nice people and turn out to be evil. You certainly don't want to be stuck staying with one with no way out. I'm not a nagging adult, I'm speaking from experience.

Will you meet up with the person first, before going to stay? I think that would be sensible and if your mom met them it would help.

I am terribly gullible, and had to learn the hard way also, to be careful. I think Amy's suggestion is a good one. It would be a very foolish thing to do, to just go and stay, without having met in person. And I also agree that you should go with an adult to meet this girl. Your mother is right to be concerned. There is no way I would have let my son go off for weeks to stay with somebody he didn't personally know (and who I didn't know and trust) very well when he was 14.

Hey  Kami


I am in NY. If you need info or help let me know.

What part of NY is Kat in? Is She an aspie?

She's not an Aspie, but has a knowledge about it. She's also self-diagnosed herself with Manic-Depressive Disorder, and has gone through some of the stuff I have, so that all works out.


My mom is hesitant to let me go anywhere these days if it's with someone whom she dosn't trust. Personally, I trust Kat, and I know her friends and stuff. I've talked to her on Ventrillo, and come to trust her as a friend, and even an older sister. Yes, there's that slim chance that I'm walking to my death, but hey, at least I get to visit New York .


I'll ask her what area she's in once I get my computer back up and running. Need to buy a new PSU for it... 250w dosn't want to work anymore.

And thanks for the advice everyone, I'll be careful to consider what you said, and keep it in mind. COOKIES FOR ALL!

pedant time...

kami, you can't be a Wiccan at 14 - any self-respecting coven would refuse to initiate/train anyone under 18.  i'm not having a go at you, btw, but covens could be viewed in a very negative light (i.e., more fuel for the News of the Screws) if it were generally thought they were initiating or training or even working with minors.

"witch" or even "would-be Wiccan", yes, "Wiccan" no.

erm... i am confused...

why are you legging it, Nemidaelius?

have i missed something?

I have yet to change my sig. I'm Agnostic, and follow Wicca as a way of life.


Awhile ago, I followed Wicca as a religion.


But lets try to stay on topic :roll:.

I was making an exit on the off chance that a flame-fest might arise, happily this is not the case.

*removes asbestos suit, puts down fire extinguishers, calls National Guard and tells them it was a flase alarm*

i wasn't flaming.  well, i don't aspire to knowing exactly what flaming is supposed to mean, but it wasn't meant to be a dleiberately derogatory or provocative comment, which is my definition of flaming.

anyway, seems it's all better now.
