A safe distance from tragic events

["Melyssa K" Kennedy]

This isn't fair to say. Dexternumbers and Melyssa K seem to be very nice and rather reasonable. Just because two guys on the forum say they have Asperger's and obsess for years over every little perceived slight to their intelligence or "freedom" doesn't mean that all Aspies are like that.

Thank you! I'm a bit odd at times, but I don't think I've ever fit into the category of being creepy. I've had a lot of experience with neurotypicals at college and at my cashiering jobs, so I've learned a lot over the years. Most people don't even know I have Asperger's unless I tell them.
And, not that you can tell just by looking at someone, but people never suspect it by looking at me, either.

Look everyone! It's 1565's stance on the proper judgement of people with Asperger's! So don't even think about calling a big city liberal like 1565 *gasp* the "I" word" (intolerant).

Man, you are just trying way too hard at this point. You crossed the line from annoying to creepy long ago. Isn't it time to back off a bit?

You know what, if she thinks I'm reasonable and I'm still relatively new to the forum, then she's cool by me. I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to say about her here, but it doesn't sound very nice.

Sorry. I guess I've just been so distraught by the recent discovery of my condition that I fly off the handle a little bit

No reason to be distraught over it. Just learn about it and learn ways to deal with it. I've come to embrace it as part of myself because, without it, I wouldn't be me. There are some things about me that I don't care for and I've been through nasty hell in my life because of it, but I wouldn't change me for anything.
I'm nice and all and I'll tone down certain more annoying aspects of my personality so I can communicate with people, but I don't change who I am. If people don't like me, fuck them.

Yeah, a call for greater tolerance of people with Asperger's because you being awful doesn't mean that all people with Asperger's are awful. That's definitely what intolerance is.

You are awesome.

Not to mention that one of them is not only younger but has been acting, by comparison, in a mature manner.
