Well, there is nothing wrong with them, I mean they are not mentally ill, or phyically deformed, or something, they are just different somehow, so we call them Autistic. <br /> <br />What is Asperger's? Well, it's like Autism, but not the same, Autism-Lite? <br /> <br />Could you state that more clearly, I just don't get it? <br /> <br />Mostly they are not social, you know, wanting to have a light conversation with thousands of people, you know, real life, going to the big game, talking sports, keeping up with who's doing who in Hollywood, real stuff! Instead they have special interests, they read books and stuff. I have always wondered, "What do they do with them books anyway?" <br /> <br />So to sum it up, they prefer knowledge to people? Ya, that's it! They are retards. <br /> <br />Thank you for clearing that up. By the way, what is your Major? Me, I am getting my Masters in Vollyball, so I dont have to take all those reading and writing courses, then I will become a middle school teacher and coach. <br /> <br />Thank you for your help, "Coach", it is good to see that someone cares about education. <br /> <br />Yea, I can always tell, those retards never want to play sports, there is just something wrong with them, you know? Another thing, they ruin school for everybody, always studying and making A's, in my school we had to start a special division where kids who played sports could get A's in ball control, Group Games, Football Math, just to get them full Scholarships to State. <br /> <br />So there you have it folks, there is an epidemic destroying our Sacred Nation Under God, one in a hundred children are reading books, studying, are known by name at the Library, and are unable to name simple things, like the starting lineup of the NFL, important national dates, like when Paris got a boob job, and prefer computers and Wiki, some kind of mental thing, to real American TV, Oprah, and talk radio.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>LeKiwi</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://wrongplanet.cachefly.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2008 6:40 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">PMed you, MsB. <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" border="0" /></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>MsBehaviour</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://wrongplanet.cachefly.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2008 5:57 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">If any of you sisters here on WP want to add to a book I have written about my life and being an aspie girl, then message me.

It is not a disorder (except for possibly very low functioning cases) let alone a disease. Foundations such as Autism Speaks do not help or represent Autistic people. We all know it. We should find ways to educate the masses on this fact. Liberal media is distorting the truth. There is no cure for autism, there never will be , there should not be one, and I for one do not want one. If I could make a willful decision as to whether I had AS, I would choose to have it. I believe that AS is an evolutionary chain. We should recognize that Autism is not just another disorder but rather an evolution. Autism Speaks and other organizations alike are bad. Yes, BAD! They need to be stopped before everyone thinks that people with Autism and related syndromes are lepers! Outcasts! Theories of mercury in vaccines causing autism are entirely fallacious in my opinion. Entirely made up by liberal media. We should be spreading a positive image of Autism not a negative one!
