Stop bullying awarness...

Post Reply New Topic

I have often thought lately how little my aspergers would have been a problem to me if not for other people. Technically I have been diagnosed as high functioning but because of being bullied it would be more accurate to say I was low functioning (not working, no social circle, no hobbies etc.) It has come to a point in life for me where I really can't be bothered anymore to put up with the attitude that it is acceptable to treat people like crap because they are different.



Every day you come in here and make multiple posts about ASAN with unsubstantiated claims that they are doing all kinds of things against you and everyone else who is not as smart as you to figure out what is being done to them by the evil ASAN. You want to go on about self advocacy and not being represented by elitist advocates and yet when people talk about a serious issue you attack their mental faculties with such personal and rude statements as "I personally if I thought like that would think I was a bit wrong in thought." What you are saying there is exactly what people say to excuse bullying, I have heard it many many times alongside with "you're too sensitive" Recently someone that I confronted about attempting to bully me replied with a message "sure we (him and his friends) put you down and say stuff about you, but it is your own fault for the queer s**t you do" To me that is not acceptable. Whatever differences a person has it is NEVER the right of other people to harrass them or take advantage of them.

It seems to be the policy here is to ignore you, and I am sure that I will get around to it as well. As it turns out on this issue though you are completely wrong. I know that you like links so here are a few to get you started on being part of the solution rather than part of the problem.

the National Education Association estimates that every seven minutes of every school day, a youngster is a victim of bullying, and 85% of the time there is no intervention by other students or adults.....Kids with Aspergers are inevitably victims of bullying-one expert puts the percentage at 100%. http://www.myaspergerschild.com/2009/06 ... -kids.html

A sad fact: The majority of children with Aspergers will experience repeated bullying and/or victimization at school. Aspergers students are easy targets for a variety of reasons http://www.myaspergerschild.com/2010/12 ... ldren.html

Statistics show children with Aspergers Syndrome are more at risk of being bullied, with up to 94% of children with Aspergers Syndrome being victims of bullying. The data shows that they are subjected to victimization on average 1-2 times a week. Having Aspergers Syndrome means these children are part of a vulnerable population and are easy targets. http://aspergerssupport.wordpress.com/s ... /bullying/

To ignore me? I've had lots of conversations here. ASAN is one leadership in of itself but is not one that is for me or others that choose for it not to be. It is a clear political risk becuase of how they combine issues such as selective abortion, call individuals bigots and vilify compassionate people. These are not at all unfounded claims but I am satisfied I've made enough notice to it with professionals and in the proper social circles that their wrong headed approaches don't effect myself and others when it backfires. Perhaps I will be thanked for it later but it is not at all important to me to be thanked.

I was bullied, I was beaten up, was slammed on the ground, mocked and so on. I simply am not a victim. Instead I am persistently abled when applicable by attempting to work with the world as diplomatically balanced as possible. In my mind "sphere" the N.T concept is not much more then a social emotional punching bag and means to justify adaptive failure \ frustrations of and for others and far to generalized to be meaningful to consider practical. The N.T concept is what I consider a mental vacuum of wasted thought simply because it pins an individual against the outer-world and can create very unhealthy results. It is indeed wrong headed to teach such ideas and further entrench minds in such divisive outcome altering hog-wash.

I do not go along with ASAN and other autism advocates simply because of popular peer pressure and beliefs or individuals that try to make me. I enjoy assuring I understand everything and have it thought out well. In that way I am a successful proven leader as I am offline and protectionistic as a result. It's far to easy to go with the common beliefs and what is common is not always the best avenue.

Ci quite simply to go on and on about compassion and self advocacy and then minimalise bullying, turn every thread to your own personal crusade and go on and on about your own importance and what you have done (links please?) makes you a hypocrite and a joke. I don't support ASAN one bit and I don't care whether you do or not. American politics have no relevance to me. You just see ASAN everywhere don't you? Perhaps you need to diagnose yourself before others.
You have had lots of conversations here with lots of other people telling you the same damn thing and retorting with the same sanctimonious bs - your posts don't even make any sense. Seriously they are just random important sounding words strung together in your rush to be the first to post in response to EVERY new post. You are just babbling on self important BS and making no sense. You can't answer a question you have no regard or basic respect for other people. Congratulations you are every negative stereotype that bigoted family support groups were set up to attack. Listening to you go on and on makes me want to slit my wrists because there is no hope to ever be a decent human being if this is what this disease turns you into. That's right it sucks. We are all here - especially you because it is a special place for the special people and we don't belong in the real world with everyone else. Well I for one am not staying here with the likes of you - you can be a token whinging ret*d little professor all you like top of the class in speshul school and have all the important imaginary friends and YouTube videos that you want. Aspergers is a horrible disease that ruins lives and I want nothing to do with it anymore.

ps-BOLD TEXT ONLY MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE MORE OF AN ARROGANT TROLL

Awareness and "Stop The Bullying" campaigns are a good place to start when it comes to decreasing the amount of bullying that happens everyday. During high school, I gave a formal speech in English about bullying: what it is, how to recognize signs that someone may be being bullied, and steps to take that can help victims of bullying feel better about themselves.

As for kids with special needs, I think education about what disabilities are and are not goes a long way towards "keeping the peace".

Same here.

Well I don't really like being called a special person. Also what your doing is making the conversation about is attacking entirely the character and meanwhile threatening to kill yourself. I really don't think it is productive or safe. If you would like you can contact me privately and I can give you a big piece of my mind about the issues I believe in but at the same time I can offer you friendship for the emotion you experience. Also the use of the R word by you and some others simply is off limits and is insulting to others with disabilities. My suggestion is to contact the individuals you think believe as you do and have them contact me as well and we can find another place to discuss this in the open. On this forum however it doesn't seem like the proper venue to do the personal attacks.

Yeah I might have escaped with a little bit of self confidence if it was not for other people. I mean yeah I know some people think everything comes from within and nothing from the outside can have any effect....unless you 'let' it. But try feeling confident when you are constantly told how weird, stupid, dumb, ret*d ect you are, no one really likes you, you have to deal with people manipulating, picking on or just being an a**hole to you constantly and then when you have a few years between your graduation and now you start realising maybe it had an effect on your mental health.....you did not really get over it all when you ran away to college just supressed it. at least that is what sort of has gone on in my life.

Every time I see this thread in the list of threads, I initially misread it as "stop bullying-awareness", rather than the correct "stop-bullying awareness". But, at least now, after that first time, I know what's actually meant. The first time I was like, what's wrong with bullying awareness that they want to stop it?

Okay, carry on with your discussion.

I thought the same thing.

[quNot everyone or many at all in fact are out to get "you' , "me" or others with a form of autism. I do not believe in this conspiracy idea. If it is sarcastic I also do not believe in making things up about N.T's just because I was diagnosed with some disorder label. This sense of persecution seems evident in humor and simple regular online conversation. I personally if I thought like that would think I was a bit wrong in thought.ote]

I was jvst specvlating whether or not this happens at school. Bvt I know for a fact that bvllying happens to me at work and the snitches constantly report to the Boss any odd behavior they happen to see.

I noticed you are a good debater you should try to convince NT kids thast this is true. it could be the toughest argument you've ever had.

wow

I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am that my daughters elementary school - and the entire school district - have a very active and aggressive anti-bullying educational plan involving education, awareness, proactive roleplaying for students and protocols for teachers and staff when responding to bullying they witness or as reported by a student. It is a system and my daughter has used it on a few occassions and the matter was taken seriously, addressed immediately and resolved all without my involvement. My daughter and her teacher report the incidents to me after they have already been addressed. My daughter feels empowered to advocate for herself and others thanks to a proactive teaching staff that takes each and every report seriously. I have NEVER seen a group of kids more proactive in stopping bullying by their peers in defense of another as I have at her school.

I'm not really sure how eliminating negative destructive behavior is a bad thing... am I reading these responses correctly? Some of you feel anti-bullying programs are a BAD thing? Please - if that is true - stay far away from my daughters school...

What you have just spoke about is a very complicated topic. I'd say most of what you refer to as N.T would agree with my statement. Bullying is a result of pathological dysfunction. A bully therefore suffers from a mental disorder which manifests the behavior. I'd like to propose that your thinking the N.T may not or is not believed by you as able to agree with my statements must be the result of your personal experiences with what you refer to as N.T's and or that of your conditioning in relevant social circles of believed N.T behavior and mentalities.

The fact is that most teachers and bosses trn a blind eye to bvllying.
