Dunc is a fucktard

...or are you just a sucker for lost causes?

I don't consider the "cause" of this place lost, despite what cunts who have gone by have said about it after they left in a dingy with holes in the sides and no bucket to bail with as high waves came over their respective transoms.

It is my ill-conceived mission that has ended. Hell, you can't learn anything if you don't try everything.

That's a very private question, Lit, so I don't really want to answer it here. However, if you have followed I2 for a while, you should know a bit about (some of) my particular difficulties.

But remember what they say? If you've met one aspie, you've met just that, one aspie.

Only one, in fact. 


I don't blame you for not answering fully. What a presumptuous question, indeed.
I have mentioned a few of the big things  (and some culminations of smaller things), but I will not talk about the things that are almost too small to find, which have played "make or break" on me every single day I have lived. Those are mine.

Still, as for me, a lot of it is there if people want to know what kind of problems I have. Not that I'll ever understand why they would want to know...

It's almost funny, you know. I would much rather have done without most of the stuff my dx brought. It's bizarre that some would question what I am solely based on what I avoid retelling here.

Not at all. You accept a demeaning, degrading label, so I want to see the reasons for it. You weren't more "disbaled" than that you could accomplish one of the toughest educations in Sweden. You have a family and a house of your own and a job that you are satisfied with and can make a living of. So I don't really see in which way you're disabled.

Lit - in all honesty I am quite likely to end up in a similar situation. In the modern age, the idea is that disabled people can do all those things. The problem is the idea is not universally applied and even if you get them, it does not mean you get the same happy life that they are supposed to bring.

Nor do I find disabled a degrading label totally. More a sign of everyone else's ignorance and stupidity than anything else.

::sigh::

Don't be ashamed of the word "disabled". It's just a word, just as "autistic" is another.

But again, I'm not interested in explaining the details of my personal life to you. But let me put it to you in this way: a man in a wheelchair can have a perfectly meaningful life. He can have a wife and children, a house, a good job, a nice car, etc, and still be disabled. Think about it.

Just because someone has a disability does not mean they are totally incapacitated, it just means they have a condition that puts them at disadvantage and that disadvantage can hinder them with varying degrees.

Odeon has accomplished all these things despite his disability. That is very BRAVE

I have never been hindered by my AS as such. I have, however, been hindered by people who bullied or in other ways discriminated me because of my odd personality. So my only "disablity" is the bigotry of the average NT.

You need to learn to play pretend better then.

and you don't think Odeon was bullied and discriminated against?

You have to do the best with what you got

You need to be BRAVE and stop blaming everyone else for your problems

If you'd like a good example of what I am talking about watch this video:

Does it look like this guy lets the fact that a lot of people think he's freak let him down?

BTW Happy Cowards' Day to you

Theo: that should have read 'hindered by your ass'.

FFS, we've all been picked on for whatever reason when we were kids, whether its autism, blindness, or whatever the fuck. Growing a tough skin is a part of life, and even though people give a lot of shit, you still have to put up with it. Learn to fight back, or slink off into the shadows. But believe me, it's awful dark with those shadows around.....
