[25+ Age] L & D Forums for High-Functioning Adult AS?

Post Reply New Topic

Your question is to the wrong person: I have never and ever bashed people based on any kind of "classifications" ,race or intelligence.

You should ask this to the OP.




lol , yes I remember that thread where you bashed overweighted women and I disagreed with that ...

You just answered my question. Up to you to figure out what answer you gave.

I think your posts have been somewhat heated and emotional. I don't understand how I am supposed to respond to most of them. I become incoherent when I am very emotionally distressed as a feature of my AS, but I don't know how you could be that upset with me. So I am unsure how to respond. I'm also concerned about LPP's verbal posture and his profile history.



But the problem is that the posts were on topic in the sense that this is not unlike the problem that I have been experiencing, of which I complained in the OP.



I will answer your question if you were asking me what I meant by "thought policing".

For me, it means that opposition views are belittled and attacked to the point where discussion is not allowed and the topic is derailed or shut down, or an atmosphere is created where people won't talk. This is my feeling about how mature female Love & Dating and other topics might be received.

In the OP, I was seeking forum solutions for a forum discussion environment where opposition and minority views, including academic style discussion and mature female analysis, on these Love & Dating topics might take place.

I feel my issues and analysis style clashes with those of the teen and younger AS males, to the point where there is offense taken and attacks. I wonder if there is some way to segregate discussion or go to another forum, so that mature female (and mature male) analysis and can take place without offending or inhibited.

I feel as if I'm being sat on ("thought policed") by the disapproval. In turn, I feel that I'm offending the young males and others whose analysis might be incompatible with mine. When I say "incompatible" I mean it takes place on a younger experience level, different discourse I.Q. and/or gender differences. While intellectual level or experience levels might not mean much for most topics, it makes difference for discussing Dating and Socialization, where education level makes a big difference (culturally and in other ways).

I don't think people understand many of my posts.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I was making an honest comment. LPP was attacking my attempts to answer his posts and he was demanding that I downrate people's threads, rating them for intelligence and maturity. When I asked him to remove that rating list of people's problems and threads, he said that I was asking to have my own words deleted. I thought he was pretending to not understand me.

I think that everyone is being too sensitive about my saying "Hi I.Q.".

I am smarter than I used to be at your age. I must have 20 or 30 more I.Q. points than I had when I was your age.

There has been at least one brain scan study that seems to show that AS brains continue to grow in adulthood. Normal people's brains start shrinking in their late 20s.

If I say I'm higher I.Q. than someone else who has AS in their early 20's, to me that doesn't mean that I've got better basic material than you were born with, or that you won't be smarter than me by the time you get to be my age.

It's my belief, based on my own experience, that AS may get smarter -- their I.Q. goes up -- as they get older. That has been my experience. My talking about I.Q. doesn't mean that I think I am better than any young male AS with a lower I.Q.

Hey, give me a break. I'm 24, so it's really "young adult" issues rather than "teenaged" issues. It's a reaction to literally years' worth of ungratifying and all-around frustrating relations with women. Am I actually considering doing unethical things against the competition? Probably not; thought is not the same as action. Sexual frustration and a yearning for intimacy are not immature, puerile matters even if they find expression in topics like "The Competition: On Quashing Them." Asperger's syndrome is a developmental disorder with one major affected area being social and emotional comprehension. Someone with AS, even if otherwise intellectually advanced, is going to seem "younger" in some aspects when it comes to social things. Is there some unwritten requirement that every post in the Love and Dating section reach some standard of "maturity" and intellectual depth to suit your own life situation and preferred modes of communication? Not meaning to sound harsh, but there seems to be some demandingness implicit to this thread.

I think, instead of bringing with you to these forums certain expectations and a dichotomous view of things, it may be beneficial to just take things as they are. People are a mixed bag of deeper passions and more banal concerns; sometimes people just want to vent their emotions, and sometimes they want a more theoretical discussion. This isn't just an aspie thing; it's just life.

I thought you would never ask!

IN YOUR FACE LOTUSBLOSSOM!!

ephemerella after reading your posts you come across a bit narcissistic. Sorry

Anyway that doesn't matter it should make for some more interesting threads. If you have things that you want to talk about, quit complaining and make some threads.

I think she doesn't really realize how she comes off: Arrogant, self assured, and a "spoiled" know it all. I'm sure it's not intentional but I can see how it comes across "holier then thou", if you read her blog posts, one wonders why she is interested in such topics when she has had many a man chasing her and has had tonnes of practice.

Personally it seems odd to me that someone so old and knowledgeable in life would come looking for such high brow talk on wrongplanet, which is guaranteed to have a high signal to noise ratio in what she is looking for specifically.

Personally its like she's looking for a particular expression, rather then real deep information, i.e. "I will only accept thus if it is aesthetically pleasing to my educated senses and fits in with my preconceptions to what has been indoctrinated into me as a result of my education and my own thought processes"

I was NOT asking you to downrate them , I was just asking you to rate them! I have never used the word "down"!

ephemerella , you are just an elitist. Nothing more than that.

Btw, I didn't know that ttqs84 is a female when I replied in that thread , I am not obsessed to look at people's profiles to know their exact gender in order to know how to reply them , I replied her as a person. And oh , she's the one who sent me the first pm and I replied it only once.


And if you think that I am troll stalker or harasser then open that case to the mods and let's see if your accusations are true.

I love the assumption that High IQ = Intelligence and maturity. Now I have near genius level of IQ but I don't consider my maturity above people based on what they write in a forum. Furthermore I think it’s kind of childish to say "I can't find intelligent conversation here so let’s make up my own forum." Go to www.simplemachines.org and buy web space and make your own forum that is the only way you can police other threads. In general though while I dislike the very negative view of Asperger's I still believe that they have their right to post and say it as I have my right to not like it and post a response that the original poster might not have wanted. I'm sure this conversation will be very productive...



PS: before you try to say it I'm not a big fan of LPP's posts (and opinions) either but I respect the fact that he is not afraid to speak his mind. I also respect the fact that he is not monitored to a level of excellence so if he chooses to be incoherent that is his thing. While I disagree with many of his assertions I find that he does fairly well at articulating himself as well as not censoring himself to meet other people's expectations. Zane I don’t really know and the other guy just kind of seems like he senses it’s about to die down and then adds more gasoline to the fire.

it's not *that* complicated

I hope you're just being lazy...

Ephemerella, I'm certainly not an teenager who is obsesses over sex. In fact, I'm not a teenager at all. Also, I have an Associate of Art Degree. I know computer and ect. I may not be as smart as some of the high functional AS, but I sure can hold a conversation with any out there.

Some of the most educated minds are jackasses. They may have fancy degrees but they can't apply any principals in their live. I don't discriminate between the higher or lower AS, or for that matter with low functional Autistic. I can not compete with a savant, myself.

Many AS have been put down all their lives. They don't need to be insulted.

Go and reread my post on page 3, the ratings are about the threads and not the posters of the threads, you are the one who were labeling people here as high IQ vs low IQ. And the goal of these rating is to prove you WRONG, it's to prove you that most threads here are not stupid or shallow as you are claiming. That's why you are so furious because you were proven wrong.

Please , don't project your personality on me.
