How do you demonstrate your support for this cause?

Do you volunteer, give money, protest, vote, help promote to get the word out, something else?

Aspies get a rap for being self centered along with being poor at socialization. Do you think this impairs your ability and willingness to take part?

Be

My pension.


By continuing to pay into it.


I work hard, do a good job, try to be pleasant to my co-workers, and occasionally flatter the boss.


No. Being self-centered actually enhances and drives my efforts, even though my poor social skills have occasionally put me in fear for my continued employment.

If I hadn't gotten married and started a family, I think I might have wound up becoming quite passionate about envioronmental causes. In the past I've been a contributor to Green Peace, The Sierra Club, the World Wildlife Fund and the National Resources Defense Council. I also spend lots of time in the outdoors and am quite comfortable there. But like I said, work and family kind of took over my life and so it goes. Even so, I just sent an anti-fracking form letter to NY's Governor the other day protesting the proposed introduction of hydrofracking in the Catskill Park.

I have volunteered a year of my life to improving disaster preparedness. Halfway through. We'll see where it goes from there.

Gay rights. Although truthfully I haven't really done much for the cause besides join my campus's Gay-Straight Alliance, wear ribbons, attend a parade, and sign online petitions.

I don't care.

Not caring is probably my cause, as I'll fight against being forced to care.

I volunteer. I haven't in a while, though. I've volunteered at the foodbank and the Humane Society.

Once I have a fixed income and am done with school, I plan on buying up things that are reduced to clear in Petco and Petsmart and donating them to the Humane Society. Last week they had a sale on dog shampoos and conditioners that were normally nine dollars, but were reduced to a dollar nineteen. And it smelled great! Like amber. Smelling like amber or looking like a bramble could be the difference an adopter needs when choosing a dog.

I find it hard to be socially/politically active because it's too extroverted for me, I've always been this way. But when I open up, I say what I think. I sometimes said things to the wrong people, who proved to be not worthy of my trust, and got nasty about my beliefs. What I consider most important... Gender equality, probably.

I volunteered a but for a couple of 'young people' charities.. little hard to teach wannabe rappers how to make real music though anything promoting improvisation would be a less lofty cause, so stop learning stairway to heaven and start jamming along instead (in A natural minor with that D sharp accidental actively encouraged there!! that'll work. hope it's really in A now.
