Uh, GodsGadfly,you do know I meant Jesus could not have caused Aspergers because there is no Jesus?
I don't mean to offend - but, in all my research, with all my science, I have never, ever encountered any evidence of such. The only times I've ever heard of Jesus are from Catholic and Christian references, which hold no more weight than do Buddhist, Hindu or Islamic mythology.
I meant by my statement to emphasise it as being a natural aspect of any Asperger person; not a defect of which someone or something is to blame. |

Or making sure that aspies can't reproduce, thereby stopping the desease from spreading. Were we allowed to reproduce before the media attention? Are we allowed to reproduce after media has "informed" the masses about criminal aspies? |

YES- I do get SICK of it. The "MYTHS" about AS are stupid.

Myths exist but some things are so true. Reading these comments takes me back to my childhood. It's true. I was a "spinner" but I thought it was so normal! I thought all the kids spun. I had no idea it was a symptom. Another thing I did was rock back and forth on the couch at the baby sitter's before school. I can remember hitting my back on the couch while watching cartoons. I even got the babysitter's daughter to imitate what I was doing. I also rocked back and forth in bed. Again, I thought this was a normal part of childhood.
Another thing I did; jumped on the bed until I broke it or my mom yelled at me to stop.
That was a happy time. |

I HATE when people say that. Oh right, you met ONE autistic person, and so the estimated 40 million (1 in 150) of us worldwide must all be exactly the same as that specific individual?!! |
Amen to that!!! So many people have this idea in their head that people w/ AS are incapable of communicating, continuously rock back and forth, and scream when they are touched! Such people think that if we don't act like 'Rain Man' then we don't suffer from AS!

However, I have had episodes where I refused or could not communicate, rocked back and forth, and screamed when someone would try to touch me...

take the beds off the stands. Put the box springs on the rug/floor and the matress on that. (unless you have bugs or critters that you need to suspend the bed off the floor) This way when she bounces at least the bed stays stable. my parents got so <grrrrr> they just harnessed me on a short leash to the door knob, and I don't suggest that! |

LOL - currently the mattress is on the floor ... don't have the spare cash to replace it yet.
Will probably by a Divan - they don't break as easily ... hopefully the Trampoline I bought her will distract her in good weather |

To be fair, there are myths and untruths about everything in the world. There are a majority of ppl who believe the moon landing was a hoax, for example.
Shouldn't let it get you down that NT's don't understand us. We, after all, do not understand them. A hell of a lot of ppl on this forum believe that all NT's are evil bullies who are stupid and brutish. How do you think an NT mother of an autistic child on this forum, say, saw that? Or an NT husband/wife of an Aspie?
What I'm saying is, don't take it so seriously. And if you can't take it, don't give it.
