Hey,
I did fill my profile, so please have a look...but in summary
42 year old, awaiting assessment (score highly on tests + "hyperactive" as a child), moved to West Wales from London (born & raised).
On here venturing out to be more 'social' - just with my kind of people now, to take the sting out lol! But also learning a LOT too!
Like Arsenal, dogs, cars, trainers (footwear not the people), architecture, horticulture and history esp Caribbean (due to my heritage).
Im not great with technology (patience and practice), and not keen on the whole 'socials' thing, bit old school.
Would be great to meet people not just on here but perhaps eventually IRL groups/outings? Im new so apologise if I've missed the massive section dedicated to that! Im working my way through this beautiful discovery of this website!
Yea so...thats me! Hi!
Hello and welcome to this lovely community ^^
thank you, rough start, but hopefull will get there!
When I joined here - and what I have found.....
I lurked around without getting a profile for a good few months, observing and trawling through the archive to seek answers and opinions on some of my burning questions at the time - without needing to bother people with my (undoubtedly) odd presence and energy. This place is so dangerously close to being social media (in my opinion) that I was deeply fearful of what might come from actually joining here.
I didn't see an "explosion" of wordy opinion, aimed at anyone at all, for a good few months after "properly" joining, but have seen a couple of such events since. They have always blown over in the past. People don't "pile-in" on one side NOR the other...........and I REALLY like that.
I like to understand what people believe and think - honestly - ESPECIALLY if I don't understand or align with those opinions. I like to debate and become more knowledgeable on subjects. The fun part of this place, is that the "subjects" are (generally) my type of nonsensical, irrelevant, random and "as they spring up" type stuff.
This place suits my temperament - it ain't perfect - but it does seem to be the best that "my oddness" can hope for in the modern world.
communism fails because people think its one thing but its actually another.there is no welfare in it, there is everyone having to pull their own weight, if not they get sent to labour camps along with their entire family, even if the rest of their family did comply and work hard they all get condemned to a labour camp if so much as one of their family refuses to comply with contributing to the work culture.... communism isnt really a good thing for the people who seem to idolise it in the west. its not as virtuous and good as they assume. they are confusing it with our idealistic current mix of socialism on a capitalist platform. good socialist ideas funded and bankrolled by capitalist funding ideas to allow it to function.... that is funny enough how marx actually lived his life too, off the donations and bankrolling of a capitalist while trying to fund and do his socialist ideas through his capitalist mate funding him.we see socialism only works in conjunction with capitalism. capitalism is often required to fund anything and allow a thing to work. even if we get rid of money, and go back to item trade, its still capitalism, the exchange of labour time for things you need or want of value, which in turn you can trade to others for other things.
If there is one thing I've learned about autists as a group, is they (oops, I meant we) are capable of, it's raising an argument or holding a strong opinion...
I don't often strongly disagree with you Caelus, but on this occasion, I do.
A lot of these guys can do stuff easily it seems that give me very great trouble indeed. It's a mistake we often fall into, assuming that the other guy essentially thinks like, and is like, me.
"Communist types" just make that mistake into their actual way of life. That's why it always fails when actually tried on a large scale. (Sadly, I like the idea of everyone just getting along with a common purpose, happily for the greater good, but in practice teh communist ideal always needs firing squads to make it "work")
and do you think a person who genuinely has autism could present and deliver such a social subject?no? and also what type of place are we in? a place for autistic people? so yeah this would happen, what makes me question though is if there are people here who can present this socially and deliver it im questioning should they be here and are they really autistic then?as i said in another comment i now believe 90% of people in this site are not even autistic now lol
its not JUST the subject matter that counts, its how that subject matter is delivered and presented.
I'm tapping out. Had enough. Bye.
