whenever we get on of these college or Uni students wanting us to fill out a surveymonkey we could fill in their surveys with utter nonsense?what do you think??
Why should we be the ones to constantly worry about how our actions affect others?
Yes people should be a little courteous to some extent but the actions of the mods as well as most NTs on the planet seem to be the personification of 'speaking before you can think'.
There are feelings involved here Sox, something I don't think you or mods comprehend appropriately.
Feeling rejected HURTS.
The over-moderation of this forum has lead to LONG TERM physical and mental pain.
It has DRIVEN AWAY vulnerable people who need to know there are others like them.
I was told once by a therapist that you CAN'T try to distinguish the autism from 'you'. It all feeds into each other because you are ONE ENTITY.
Yes you can identify TRAITS of autism in others but passing it off as 'its just autism' is demeaning and highly offensive to the individual, as though dismissing their thoughts and feelings JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE AUTISTIC.
That is the vibe I now get from this forum.
When we talk, we're ignored at best. When we yell, we're turned on and viciously punished for daring to try and make ourselves heard.
Autism 101: Those on the spectrum act out when others do not make the effort to understand them, or get on their level to explain.
Strong words are needed as otherwise THE MODS JUST DON'T SEEM TO GET THE POINT. I don't give a damn if it sounds aggressive or patronising WELCOME TO OUR WORLD.
Many adults on the spectrum have had to deal with this sort of behaviour for YEARS if not decades so forgive me for not having the slightest bit of sympathy for the actions of people WORKING for an organisation supposedly dedicated to the UNDERSTANDING OF AUTISM.
