Joining WP is probably the worst thing i ever did in my life

I feel the same way because after seeing some threatening threads they have on here, like Aspies are more likely to get cancer or the government are plotting to kill Aspies off, I've become ten times more scared, depressed, anxious, angry, isolated, and god knows what else.

If a post or thread is disgusting or hurtful or all the way to threatening, first, the offended person should tell the poster how their words made him/her feel, ask for clarification, we all fly off the handle or get carried away, and say things more intensely than we mean. If things WERE meant to be personal, insulting, threatening, then the moderators should be called in. If one person feels hurt by a post, someone else is, too, and you are speaking for all of us when you get aggressive behavior stopped. Sylkat

Really? proof aspies can be bullies.

I first came here thinking this would be a friendly support forum, boy was I wrong. The op is obviously having a hard time and what kind of response does he get? the same old snarky crap that runs rampant through this place. It seems to be divided between the higher and lower functioning people with the lower functioning people often being unfairly attacked.

Dear Freakz, I cannot speak for anyone but myself, however the OP of this discussion presented what feels to be an overall criticism of WP and pretty much of all it's members..if a member or 2 has offended him, he needs to contact a moderator, abuse is dealt with and stopped, but WP is huge, no one can monitor every post. There are many, many discussions at WP, if one or two depress or upset someone, then there are over a hundred more to look into. In addition, this is not a hospital full of nice nurses and counsellors to focus on making anyone feel better...this is a website full of Autistics, Aspergers, BiPolars, Tourettesers , any age, gender, nationality experiencing the problems of neurological disorder! We've got some problems here! We are all looking for support, we all have meltdowns and temper tantrums, through it all, we're trying to find someone to talk to who is living the same mess! Sort of like calling out for help, but there's no lifeguard, just other swimmers who are fighting the same riptide..we can encourage each other, but we cannot carry anyone to shore....Sylkat

I like it when nurses touch their boobies up against you.....are they trained to do that? I sure feel better after a nice nurse.

Waitresses are gods gift to autistic lost souls. They should be praised on high, and pictured at the right hand of Christ

Autism Speaks should pay nurses to do some faux boobie rubbing posts on WP....

Everyone will get along so well!

I really really must have trouble understanding people myself (I am going to assume its me here) because:

1. I do find this place friendly and civil. I also strive to be civil and polite myself, but I am honest.
2. The OP just made a general complaint, basically saying this place sucks. I am really surprised, truly, that someone would not expect a negative response.
3. I don't think the OP was having difficulty with something, he was just whining.
4. I am not going to cite examples because I don't want to incite things, but some of the posts on this thread were rude and/or tactless.
5. I don't think there was any personal attack here.
6. I seem oblivious to the divide that is discussed here about high and low functioning people. (What are we talking about?)

Please be honest with me everyone. I can handle the truth. I have a thick skin.
Do I misunderstand what is going on here?

You seem oblivious to the OP's pain?

This is what he and others too are talking about.....

Above is a perfect example, and its just too perfect to be true


I hear: 'stop ya whining!! there is nothing wrong!!'

The op said this place sucks? where? he/she just said that they found some things on here to be disgusting. The fact that you just accused the op of whining says it all.

I'm curious, what is the forum actually for? is it not meant to be a place where people with aspergers, autism as well as ocd, adhd, bipolar and various other psychological conditions to come for support from people they can relate to? apologies if I got it wrong.

I'm going to guess that most people with these conditions were or still are really depressed and don't know what to do and where else to go, of course to the average person they probably think they are just whining but that's just simply not the case.

I take it that I'm disgusting. Oh, well. I've been told that four and a half years ago in The Haven. I'm used to it.

Perhaps the OP would be willing to write a longer post clarifying, with specific examples and quotes,exactly what /who is disgusting about WP. Also, where should I look to find posts about Aspies being more susceptible to cancer, and the government (which government? America? Canada?) plotting to kill Aspies off? Sylkat

I am really clueless. Maybe this right here is why i have trouble socially sometimes and this thread shows it. Thanks for some feedback.
