The Aspie Women Photo Calendar

Post Reply New Topic

i must say i am surprised there are people on this site who would even consider taking part in such crass banality.

Such upright pillars of the community are we!

don't take my comments the wrong way, i'm anything but an upright pillar of the community!

so this is what your quest for true stimulation amounts to? why not just buy yourself some porn mags and be done with it?

Anti-Sex double plus good!

I can't see why this thread has continued this far. Why does anyone care that this freaking calender anyway?

If you have to ask...

That was a question no answer needed.

If you have to posture rhetorically...

This is a funny thread.

As far as me on the Catwalk goes, I don't think I'm hot enough Otherwise I'd consider it for two reasons.
A) Seems like a good way to meet women (some of whom might not be horrible horrible people, but as they are people this is unlikely)
B) Given that I can be pretty self conscious, doing something like that would make absolutely no sense. Doing things that don't make sense is what I live for.

AA-
TF is an aspie, and sometimes we have to ask. Despite it's appearently rhetorical intent, I think it's a very good non-rhetorical question worthy of serious consideration. Why do we care?

Crass banality! Yay!

i wholeheartedly endorse and encourage sex. have you ever read wilhelm reich?




well, whatever turns you on, i suppose.

I think if a calender was to be made, there should be information about Asperger's/autism in general instead of only pictures of our us or our interests. I think if it's more informational that more people would buy it to get to know more about Asperger's throughout the year. It could make more people aware of what's good about Asperger's, and what we need help on. For instance, you could show a picture of an aspie playing chess. Then you could say that people with Asperger's have a predominantly visual style of thinking. Then it could say which part of the brain that it affects, what the disadvantages are in life, and what the advantages are. I wouldn't provide only pictures of aspies on this site, however. I would also provide famous individuals with Asperger's (Einstein, Newton, Bill Gates, and some others) and then it could say what traits of Asperger's that they've had. Then maybe the calendar could display a picture of Rain Man and it could say how Rain Man was an autistic savant, and that only 10 percent of the entire autistic spectrum are savants (or have extreme/savant skills in memory and numbers and what not), and that he was on the low functioning side of the autistic spectrum and specify. That way people wouldn't think that all people who have autistic spectrum disorders are like Rain Man, but many are actually living normal lives around them. Maybe there can also be a calendar with words that aspies made up, like an 'aspie dictionary' calendar, or a calendar with 365 facts about autism (maybe not specifically Asperger's); one for each day of the year. If someone gets a company, like Future Horizons for instance, that sells books and stuff on autism, they could probably advertise the product and then even more people would buy it than if it was displayed on WrongPlanet alone. I think a product like that displayed in other peoples' homes could probably increase awareness on Asperger's and ASD's, which could be a good thing.

Honestly seriously unless the company you go through doesn't support giving the income made from it to groups like Autism Speaks, Cure Autism Now and NAAR, then I'd say go for it.

If they do try and push for this project's earnings go to those charities, etc and companies will easily twist things to their advantage if they don't respect Aspies and support those charities and a cure. I'll firmly boycott (and get others to boycott as well) as it's a waste of money when there are other more productive means the money can be used to help autistics than towards groups that support prenatal testing for autism and essentially a future means to another time of eugenics.

We don't need a cure, we need people's awareness and acceptance and help when things are not so easy.
