| Lets just hope there isn't a RightPlanet.net where it is ok to rant at Aspies... I try not to think of a divide , in much the way I try not to think of people by race and gender rather as individuals. I find this helps me because when I get upset by someone I think of them as one a**hole rather than... |

| And yet for all the complaining about NT one-upmanship that is a large proportion of what goes on here. Just because we don't understand one another doesn't them stupid. Yes it is difficult but just as I wouldn't want to be blamed myself, I don't think it is right to blame them either. I suspect I a... |

| How's about a world where Aspies and NT acknowledge each other's strengths and weaknesses and become stronger as a result? I need my NT friends, they help me mitigate my weaknesses so that I can benefit from my strengths. Without them I would really struggle, without me they wouldn't have a rather q... |

| Since having an AS diagnosis would bring me no support since I am a 40 year old of above average IQ - as my doctor was quick to point out - I have chosen not to fight the system to try to get a formal diagnosis. That being said I am certain that I have AS and many of the suggested ways of mitigating... |

| I think it is only right to point out that we Aspies don't have the monopoly when it comes to getting s**t on. It is the nature of people (including aspies) to try to thrive at the expense of others. Need I point out racism, sexism, religious intolerence and many other similar forms of hatred. If so... |
