Autism rocks because .... you can march to your own beat and the beat can be reggae or metal, classical or completely unheard of...
Visual Kei. Yup.

Necrobump? Asperger's rocks because without it, I couldn't have invented a better method of cloning. XD
Every day I thank God that I wasn't afflicted with Neurotypical Syndrome.

RE: Autism rocks because...
Similar to what people said above, AS rocks because of the intellectual gifts and uniqueness. As for me it's not only is there "left brained" intelligence, but much of the "right brained" skills too. Peace
Yimbaihawei --- This is a one word way of saying "I am who I am" that celebrates individuality. Spread the word to all neurodiverse individuals!

Autism Rocks because our minds are beyond the normal range, they think we're weird because they are just too dumb to comprehend what's going on our minds. too bad for them though.

Well, now, we're just getting a bit too supremacist here, aren't we?
I wouldn't consider the average NT to be dumb, but most of them are certainly ignorant of autism and its many facets. Autism after all, is a huge spectrum. You can't expect people to understand it always.

RE: Autism rocks because...
Autism rocks because if I'm on a bus and I don't have anything to read I'm perfectly content to stare out the window and listen to the sounds of the bus traveling on the road. And if that's not enough, I can always rock, too.
Autism rocks because if I get bored listening in the above situation, I can always just make up a story in my head and entertain myself that way for hours and hours.
Yes! That's it! That's the most rockin' part for me. I told someone the other day that I haven't ever been bored, that I can remember. Since I can remember, I've always had a story going in my head. At the dentist, at the doctor's office, on a bus or a train, or with a fox or in the rain... sorry, the Dr. Suess in me coming out . But seriously, I love that because I have this, and because I spent a lot of time alone as a kid, I don't ever need someone else to entertain me. When I wanted to see a movie, I went. I never needed a crowd. I wear and live and do what I like.
Freedom.

I would agree. My intelligence in most areas is average. I'm not some superbrain, and it bothers me that people want to be elitist based on IQ when we have very little choice about what we are born with.
I can appreciate someone more because they work harder, or take risks to make the world a better place, or because they live the way they want to and don't care what anyone thinks about it. Choices. But to consider yourself better because you were born with more "academic juice" as one teacher called it, is just... well. I won't say stupid.

I guess my lack of social skills make me safe from the group herd and the "cool or die" mentality and "gotta socialize ALL OF THE TIME" crap that so many people seem to have.

hey Waterwind8!
you know that most of my friends are neuro-typicals
yeah i know that there are some NT's who have opinions about autisim that are 100% wrong but that gives us no right to bagg out nt's
because if we were to do that we are just as bad as those few cruel souls. we should know better!
also the main reason that this relativly small proportion of NT have these compleatly warped opinions is because they dont know enough about autisim- its not alll their fault! And if we start being all "we aspies are supieror" we will get one hell of a *** reputation and then
more people will bagg us out.
also look i dont know you at all but there has probaly been at least one or two NT's who have helped you or been nice to you in your life.
just think about that

Autism Rocks because if even if I was NT I wouldn't be considerate of others as I am now.

RE: Autism rocks because...
Because I have a reason not to care about what people think...
Because I can learn anything that interests me in a very short time
Because I don't have to have a shower everyday, change clothes everyday and i have no problems eating only white rice and cocoa milk for weeks (though it's poor for my nutrition, it's great for my economy!)
Because I'll always be a KID!!!
Because I don't have to identify with my gender
Because I have a broader self-achieved mentality than most NTs...
ASPIES FOR FREEDOM!!
