Hello,
I have autism. It means I'm super cool, and I will make a heap of money if I write a novel about my super cool life, and even more if it's about an autistic romance. Then I'll make a heap more money whoring it off to filmmakers. No, wait, it actually means that if someone touches me, I break their face because no one touches me. That's why they say I can't work with people. It also means that all felony charges are dropped. Too cool.
I have an IQ of 60, which means I laugh at all the retards who fall at the might of my inductive and deductive logic (if you haven't fallen to it, you will).
I'm a prude, and I hate all of you lewd motherfuckers, seriously.
Most of you probably don't even have an ASD, which is probably the saddest thing ever (if you can't figure out why it's so sad, that just makes it even sadder).
Anyway, I look forward to making you all bow and fall to my grand intellect.
O, yes, bring the drama. I love it.

Welcome, you sound like a really nice guy. Do you have any advice on how I might go about meeting someone as cool as you?

Oops, that was embarassing. I went to ghey Goblin but I accidently Yay'd him.
:-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
-
Now the site won't let me ghey him for another hour. :grrr: :grrr: :grrr: :grrr: :grrr:
-
its ok he is still at 0
-
its ok he is still at 0
Yup, but he should be on -2. I'm going to have to stay up at least another 40 minutes just to cancel out my yay. God, I need to get a life.

Let me know where I can get one of those lives , I needs one too

Have you tried E-Bay?

Meh , I will just wait it out

Welcome.
That blinking is messed up, blue1.

parts,
Is that a man with mammaries? I mean, my face is probably prettier than hers. :/
Butterflies,
You just have to look around in the darkness, and you'll find someone of my likeness.

When are you going to make us bow and fall to your grand intellect?
Why do you hate us lewd motherfuckers when you haven't got to know us yet?
-
:welcome:
-
Butterflies,
When you want to argue a point with me of course. I'm always right when I argue, and it's fact that everyone who knows me or that eventually argues with me knows. You'll see.
The irony of that statement is lost on you? I just displayed a mere fraction of my intellect for you. The mere fact that I added, "motherfuckers", to a statement about hating lewd people, should really be self-evident is its meaning and implications.

You speak good English. What's your first language?

Butterflies,
That's a good question. It was supposedly English, but I never really got that, see: autism. Then it went to logical English, created from forced learning, which I call a specific subset of English. It's harder to grasp if one hasn't seen it before, but it's close enough to standard English to be interchangeable. It's full of sarcasm, wit and irony, so excuse the seemingly sardonic nature of my...nature. I'm really a nice guy..., I think. Nonetheless, I look forward to talking to others, away from the spotlight, or better, dim light, of life's light.
YOURMUM,
I tend to get people running in circles, yes. But don't worry, I won't look where the circles lead to. I'm just curious, about the other side of the fence, so to speak.

If you're a nice guy then why do you hate us?

People who are genuinely intelligent tend not to feel the need to tell everybody about their massive intellect. People who boast about their intellect are usually a bit insecure about their intellegence and usually it's with good reason.
It's full of sarcasm, wit and irony
The same goes for sense of humour. If you really are so funny then why not just let your posts do the talking instead of telling everyone in advance how full of sarcasm, wit and irony you are.

Welcome and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. You wouldn't want to give yourself a concussion.

Butterflies (are there more than one butterfly posting?),
It's not just you I hate, I mean, I'm a goblin. I hate all humans. It comes with the species.
I'm just an insecure little goblin with an inferiority complex, and hey, give a goblin some slack; it's hard growing up in a society full of humans who try to domesticate you. They always look down on you because you don't look at them.... My cunning nature is all I have. O, I'm pretty dumb, I mean, the IQ of 60 (measured). I'm too dumb to even work out how to quote messages, that's how dumb I am. But fear not! I can hold an argument till no one but me wants to continue.
No, I don't have one of those senses, so I have to be up front about it. My adopted parents always told me that one should speak honestly about who they are, no matter where they are and who to, so people will know who you really are.

Weakling,
I don't use doors, sorry. I come in through windows.

Hi buttcoffeeee!!!
:moon:

Butterflies (are there more than one butterfly posting?),
No, there's just one butterly?
-
O, ok. I like butterflies. They're pretty. I like the big blue ones, the Ulysses. You appear to be a strange one, one I haven't seen, pink and blue.
I sit down and watch them fly, and sadly, die, as the wagon of death the humans carry me around in doesn't care. It all dies. I smile if a spider ensnares one, as that's how life has always been, before this industrial haven we live in, even amongst the trees, the sap is oil.
Back when goblins were an equal, it wasn't like this, it was spiders and butterflies, not indifferent death to feed...nothing.
A dying breed, a goblin is.

Of course Scrapdog knew all along, right?
:LOL:
-
Nope. I thought you crawled out the sewer. I was being gracious with the door.
-
I'm goblin. No one else (well, I have a given and family name). I am who I am.
I love this negative karma thing. In the real world, people tend to hide how they feel; it's all masks and veils. The nature of a human, so to speak. But behind a screen, people can tell you how they feel. The nature of a human, so to speak. I love it.
Weakling,
No, I came from the desert. Though a sewer sounds good, as there's not many humans there.
-
You came from the desert??
So in other words, you're a tweaker, right??
-
The goblin doesn't understand you.
I came from the desert, that place where the sun kills more than what it gives life to.
-

You're telling us he is messing with YOURMOM by pretending he is her ex?
-

Meht kills more people than the sun does, out there.
BTW, what dessert are you in??
-
Kit,
Ah ha, so the actual uneventful truth comes out, which isn't actually the truth at all?
No, I'm not messing with "YOURMUM", and she knows that (this seems like a cool place), but let me guess, she said otherwise, as she doesn't want me to see something she said about me, which is a lie, as that'd tarnish her ability to...get back with me, as all was looking fine and dandy until I thought of posting here.
See you later, Cherie. They were right about you, so you know.
-
You're a monster!! :'( :'( :'(

Perhaps, but at least I don't lie and talk about people behind the backs of others.

Blah, ignore the drama and silliness.
I'll start again,
Hi, I have autism (plain old autistic disorder). I'm pretty boring overall; I can be silly and stupid, but it's usually taken seriously, so I don't do it often. I, like probably most of you, really suck at interacting with people; the first point I made is the truth though, I don't like being touched or around people, especially if I'm given an order I don't like or isn't a part of my routine. I tend to "blow up", and not in a good way.
Anyway, I can talk about autism and my interest, and that's pretty much it, except for being silly, which doesn't always work well.
O, I stood next to Tony Attwood once in his clinic. I really, really, had to suppress my desire to kill the man, as he's one of those publicity whores I so despise.

You live in Brisbane?

Yep. Thankfully, nowhere near where his clinic is located (the city doesn't do much for my senses).

You mean the one in West End? I like West End.

Ug, too many people, cars, buildings and people for my liking. But then, that describes pretty much all cities to me. I'm one of those...extra sensitive people with an ASD. Headphones and dark glasses can only go so far. Nonetheless, I'm not missing anything at that place; apparently, everything can be fixed with CBT, and everything is due to some anxious thought that we can think ourselves out of. They're good at diagnosing (they see a lot of people), but like everyone else, they're shooting over the mountain blindly as far as treatment is concerned for us adults (not that I'm convinced ASDs are something to be treated. Work with, yeah; worked around to help fit in better if that's what you want, yeah. But an actual cognitive change? No). Well, that's what I found.

I wouldn't comment myself on whether CBT fixes everything, and I highly doubt they advocate it as the ONLY solution because the severity of cases ranges. I do think avoiding medicating is a good thing if it's a workable solution though. Too many children have been medicated without being given time to explore whether they can in fact learn at least some coping skills.
However, I will say one thing. If you have a shitty attitude about CBT, then no, it won't even have a chance to work.

CBT is for specific phobias and anxiety disorders, and for that, it works well (OCD here), but these things are based on an erroneous cognitive thought process, but unlike ASDs, which aren't based on specific thoughts, rather innate differences of the mind. One individual there kept on assuring me that sensory problems were in fact anxiety related, and no matter how much I said that, 'hey, it's actually the overstimulation that's making me uncomfortable, which in turn creates the anxiety I feel,' "she" wouldn't listen. Personally, I saw this as them just...firing over that mountain blindly, because they had nothing else. Yeah, I see that now, often (medication); however, some children either have to stay at home or be medicated to attend ASD schools. It's a rock and a hard place here with these children.
CBT works well for anxiety disorders, as I said.

Taking cases where medication is genuinely required out of the equation....
You say overstimulation causes anxiety....but you also say CBT works well for anxiety. I do believe training your mind to ride through some of those feelings works. Sometimes if you let the wave take you over then you are fucked though.
My point is, I believe it does work in cases where you might believe it would not.
But I maybe making my point on deaf ears. You've already stated that you don't believe most people have any disorders. You've stated your opinion on Tony Attwood and the clinic but my opinion differs from yours and I have been to that clinic. But as you say, most people here don't have any disorders....well, not as bad as yours apparently.
The difference between WP and here is it's not a competition to have it the 'worst'....and most people try to get on with it, rather than focus on the negative. Sure, there are a few threads here where you can vent away and moan, but it's not everywhere.....so maybe that's why you question the authenticity of diagnosis of the members here (whether self or formally).

Ah, but burning your hand causes anxiety. Do you put your hand in the fire again because you're afraid of burning it? That's the same thing with sensory overstimulation.
You can become numb to things, which exposure therapy is, but it can only go so far, and there's always a point where it can't be helped, especially physical problems. It's no different to someone without a hand trying to pick something up. However, they can get a prosthetic hand which will help, which is the same as the individual with visual processing problems who needs to wear tinted glasses to function better.
O, don't mind me and before, that was me being silly (I was parodying the whole, "you don't have this or that because I think this or that" that runs rampant online); I don't care at all whether anyone here has an ASD or not. Except my statement about Attwood, I don't like him.

Thank you for explaining sensory overstimulation. I think I'm pretty much across the topic.
My point rather was, although there are cases where CBT won't work, if you approach it with a negative attitude, it will NEVER work.
-
I agree fully.
I'm a proponent of CBT, I always have been, as it's worked for me in many ways and made me function so much better (it got me out of the house post-breakdown after all). I guess...I've really learnt to separate what I know can be helped by such and what I know can't, because I've tried it in the same way with the same expectations for some things (mostly ASD related), but with little result. I think I also had a communication problem with the psychologist in question, and I didn't adequately get my point across; I am being fair on her, but I do recall her mentioning some things that were erroneously attributed to precursor anxiety compared to...situation anxiety (I think that's what Donna Williams calls it, and that's the term she uses to explain anxiety caused by sensitive senses, rather than a thought of...failure or contamination, for example), when I assured her otherwise. But that's of no consequence, as I see someone else now who sees the ASD as something to be worked with if possible, or around if not.
To add,
All of my posts up until a certain point were satirical, but a person with an ASD posting humour on an ASD forum has...probably a high incidence of not working

you are a pretty good liar , also....I would go more for you being psychopath or at the very least an asshole

@Goblin - Hang on, you sound very much like Danielismyname? I'm I right?

Hello goblin.
The only places I have been to in Queensland are Brisbane (for a day) and Toowoomba.

This better than the other or if you go the other way
