not welcome on here :(
Well said.
WP is like a big old dysfunctional family. We fight, we love, we fight, we love, it's how life goes. There will always be popular people and not so popular people. Can't get away from it.
I'm AS, but I've been around people lower on the spectrum too. In fact before I got my diagnosis, I was an aide for a girl with classic autism who was pretty severely affected. My being on the spectrum I think some how made me more connected to her without realizing it. I don't always feel like I belong here or that people care or are listening, but I don't have anywhere else to connect with people like me, so I stay.
I don't always know how to respond to posts so I don't say anything in those cases.
Stick around, maybe you'll learn something, maybe you'll teach us something. The most important thing to do is keep an open mind about what is said.
Actually, I'm fascinated to read anything from anyone who is further UP?? Down?? the Spectrum than just myself. No dx, YET but likely either to be HFA (which I always have thought) or Asperger's. Maybe some feel Asperger's is more the "In" term, which explains the angst over the DMV V LOL.
Stay here & write if you can.
Please..

I'm not even diagnosed with anything and debatable whether I'd get a diagnosis of AS or ADHD or SPD or nothing at all. I can relate to your posts, especially the ones describing sensory issues. Please stick around, you really are welcome here.

You shouldn't leave just because of one or two thoughtless people. Most of us want you to stay. I'm also a Nintendo fan. I don't play video games so much anymore, but I make half of my WP posts on my Wii. I think that you're a great person.

I like Nintendofan. I hope he/she sticks around. I feel different from people here too and sometimes I feel so 'not bothered' that I don't read the forum for very long.

I don't get many responses to my posts either and I often wonder why that is and whether I am doing something to upset people. It does make me feel a bit down sometimes but I relate so much to what a lot of people on here say and enjoy reading their posts and learn a lot so I keep coming back and do still persist with posting (even though I feel a bit nervous about it) in the hope people will be more responsive if they get to know me better. So I do understand (at least in part) how you feel and I hope you will feel more accepted as time goes on.
I have often thought it would be nice to hear more from people with more severe forms of autism as they are very under-represented on these boards. Also, I do voluntary work with adults with autism (most of them also have other disabilities like Downs or severe learning difficulties). I love working with them and am getting to know them and we can communicate but as they have very limited verbal abilities and cannot read or write I feel that I can't understand them as well as I would like to (although they usually undertand me pretty well). It would be great to get some better insight and perspective on what it feels like to be very severely affected as there may be ways I can improve our relationships or offer better support.

I get replies for many reasons. Sometimes someone wants to leave a sarcastic remark or correct some error in my post. Someone might be looking for a fight but I'm the most rationale arguer in the world except at certain periods of the month and if my meds wear off or if I'm not on them. Someone might know me fairly well as I've been posting here for a couple of years.
I find quoting when you reply to people it gets a conversation going.
I still get nervous about some of the posts I've made and might avoid those threads for a little while, or permanently. Most times I just post and if people have a problem with it I ignore them.

,,,,the nintendo game i like more than anything else is the legend of zelda series. its like another world.
WOW!! ! I have a NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, two Gameboy Pockets, a Gameboy Advance and a DS lite. I too love the ledgend of Zelda. I often go on Zelda when I feel overwhelmed by real life! I am hoping to get a Wii in the future but I am waiting until it is cheaper.
my nintendo consoles are -
2 x nes = 1 boxed
2 x snes both boxed
4 x n64 = 1 boxed blue
3 x original gameboy = 2 boxed
1 x gameboy pocket
4 x gameboy colour = 3 pokemon editon, 1 green
4 x gameboy advance
2 x gameboy advance sp = only 1 charges
4 x gamecube = all boxed
1 x wii = boxed black
1 x ds lite = black
1 x 3ds = boxed metalic red.
i have lots of nintendo toys, promo displays, magazines, clothes, etc... to
you should get a wii , the zelda games are realy fun on it
Why have you doubled up so regularly. 4 boxed gamecubes? That mean you've never even played it before?

Well they could be worth more to people someday when they get to be older. Seems common to see stuff like Vectrex's or Atari's or whatever else selling for upwards of $300 on places like Ebay or Amazon.

You know what I hate about Ocarina Of Time and it's remakes? How they're still cashing in big and these remakes again and again.
I also hate how everytime I get to a puzzle room I'd always take ages to fiure out the solution that happens to be very simple, and this tended to happen to me even when it was unintentional puzzle, basically I'm an idiot.
I sometimes feel unwelcome here nintendo..guy..but erm I think everyone feels like that at some point.
