People who are negative/pessimistic are simply people who blame external factors/conditions for their problems and do nothing about the problems but complain about how unfair the wo... |

| These stereotypes are stupid. Do people realize that if men were only interested in "hot" women and women were only interested in life of the party types that most people would be single and stay single? |

| I'm going to be as generic as possible seeing how easily WP threads come up in Google searches. There was a meetup group that I attended for a year and a half that turned out to be a scam. It really sucks it took me that long to figure it out, but better late than never. Plus, right now that's just ... |

| I think what you meant to say is "I can't jump ten feet in the air unassisted ON EARTH". However, you can certainly jump 10 feet in the air unassisted if you are on the moon. Also, you can't jump ten feet in the air unassisted depending on what your definition of unassisted is. You could say using ... |

| Being "wired differently" doesn't make one incapable of doing things. That's just like me saying I bought a house, but I can't do things I want to do in the kitchen because it's way too small. Even though it's MY house and I have the option to renovate the entire kitchen to have more space to do wh... |

| All the great philosophers, from Socrates to Buddha to Ghandi to Einstein, may have had opinions that confliced with each other, but there was one thing that they all agreed on - We are but a product of our thoughts, and what we think, we become. That's a sweeping generalisation and does not suppor... |

| So if a person with autism reads in a book or watches a video, etc. about what it means when someone, for example, squinches their face, will the autistic person simply just forget even though they were told directly what it means? And the reason why you reject what you call the "new agey positive ... |

| Oh Lord, it's "The Secret" all over again. This kind of New Agey "positive thinking" fallacy has been around at least since "Think and Grow Rich" was first published in the early 20th century. Many people with autism have different brain wiring that makes it very difficult to recognize faces, inter... |
