Speaking personally, I always regarded it as a thought exercise; Having spent prolonged time around aspies in meatspace, I can only imagine the havoc that would reign if we had our own landmass.

Oh yes, there will be blood.

That's just me, though, and I know that that is contrary to the thoughts of many of the founding members. YMMV, I do not speak for everyone.


what is meatspace?


This is Cyberspace; Real life is Meatspace.


Spending time with Aspies in Cyberspace is enough to give a good idea of the havoc potential of a Meatspace community.

You are only speaking from your own viewpoint.

As I have said to you before, dont talk about us when you have done nothing at all, but talk, badger, and put down. Nothing.

A lot of us have our own personal activisim going on in our local communities. We are busy. What are you doing within your community.

Put up or shut up. I believe that is how the old saying goes.


Have you ever kind of, stepped outside of yourself when something bad has happened to you? Something that just made you feel **** sick to the stomach, something that is just wrong and you just stand there wondering what the *** is wrong with people? And it just sticks with you, and people tell you it didn't matter, 'just accept it' or 'it was your fault' 'You should just forget it'. I do not just do this because I enjoy it a**hole. Whenever I do this stuff it means I lose sleep, it means my grades suffer and it means I have to fight to stop myself from crying in the classroom and then hide my face on the way out.

I feel like, I've had to earn my right to be treated like a human bieng. Just by pretending to be normal.


FYI the first time I started kicking up a fuss I never said I had done anything. It pisses me off to no end when I see bad things happening in the world and I have to just sit back and watch it. It **** tears me apart. I felt helpless and I just wanted to be able to do something.

Yes, I did critizise, and there are many different ways one can respond to criticism. You can consider whether it's justified it, you can correct people and prove that they're wrong, or you can carry on like a whiney little *** because someone dared to say something bad about you.

If you asked someone where the toilets were in a building and they responded with 'Well what have you friggen done to build a toilet!? I've got a lot of toilets at home. Why don't you show me yours toilet boy'. What would you think? If they knew where the toilets were, what possible reason would they have for insulting and patronising you instead of telling you where they were?

Aside from thinking they're a **** ***, I'd also assume that they didn't know where the toilets were.

So no, I don't think you're an activist. Instead of responding to critisisum with tact you and others chose to insult, ignore, treat me like a moron and generrally behave like a whiney little brat.

If you're such a good activist, why would you choose that option when it would be so easy to just point me in the right direction?

As for what I've done now, well I try to practice what I preech:

Quote:
If you want to do some good; talk to and email the autistic community in your area. If you want to talk to people who aren't a member of that comunity, be as subtle as hell.

Then maby jump back on to the net, social media etc. There's nothing wronge with the net, you can reach alot of people that way. But you need to see what's happening in the real world first.

Also, support other advicates and aspies in general. They're invaluable.


I'v listened to all of people's activism ideas by pm and on threads and given my honest opinion on them, no matter how stupid or arkward they were I politely responded to them and recieved nothing in return, not even the same courtisy.

I'd given all I can give and then some, and I always end up crashing. Mabye I didn't do it the right way. It's nothing malicias though, it's just personal to me and sometimes I get emotional about it. I don't just go out of my way to hurt people.

But I'm sorry, I'm not just going to *** about the problem it and talk about camping in the bush. That's all you have to offer here at this site, reguardless of what you do in RL. You don't even contest this yourself. People deserve the truth and they deserve a straight answere to things instead of all the ambiguas bullshit they get from here.

If this was a site protesting against rape, you wouldn't dare treat someone like that for being frustration at a lack of action, you would just tell them what's been done.

Yes, it is my own viewpoint, I have a right to express it and you've done everything you possibly could have could have to earn it. Reap what you sow.

I'm more than willing to discuss it and have my mind changed, but for god's sake act your frign age and talk about it like an adult. It's bloody ironic that I get this behaviour from people who claim they aren't listened to.


Otherwise with all due respect, you can get the hell out of my way. You're everything I strive not to be and I've got better things to do than argue with a fake and a liar.

It is your attitude (proved here)that some of us disagree with. You launched in on us long before we started getting in your case.

There you go I pointed it out.

Doesnt mean that you dont have some nice ideas. You do.
Stop your rhetoric against some of us and perhaps we will do the same for you.

Just pointing you in the right direction.
