Hey btw didi anyone ever comment on my idea on the RP group idea after my last post?

It's an interesting idea. Particularly the rp part. I have to wonder, for example, what WW1 would look like if all the major countries were lead by autistics.

lets put the R.P. to the test KASSRD set it up and I will join

[Dain II Ironfoot]

Isn't that basically this thread? I don't know much about what a social group is, or how it make one.

Like a RP group I mean.
And it'd be more than just this thread.
We'd have RP's for the group, etc.

I'd be up for that

It would be fun, though i know one thing for sure. World leaders would barely meet up with one another.

I am sorry for that but he kinda got me where it hurts

Naushantiya is a font of bizarre and ridiculous opinions on things. Just ignore him.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

realistically i imagine the majority of people who play this game have some form of autism.

*some traits associated with autism

That's not even true.

There actually are extroverts, partiers, etc, on here. Hell, I've shocked my outwardly-internet-geek friends (who are in the minority) by showing them my NS account and the complexity and effort I've put into it. Enjoying debate or writing or whatever doesn't mean you have a singular autistic trait.

Not sure why they quoted my response without specifying who they were addressing.

Kind of confused me there for a minute.

"Mr. president, Vladimar Putin wants to nuke Kiev to invade Ukraine."
"That is terrible. We must force him to stop no matter what, through blockades, war and threats. we must save the people of Ukraine."
"He's says he might reconsider if we meet him."
"Well, there are thousand of innocents who could die..."
"At a party."
"Let them die."

The thing about Autism is that it does not exist, I am sorry guys, there is nothing wrong with you. All you need to do is put in a little handwork. I wish you all good luck, little bit of hardwork and some social skills that you can develop, don't cling on to a condition guys. I am hopeful you shall succeed

No.

[Liberonscien]

The fark are those?

People who have tritanopia. Tritanopia is blue-yellow color blindness.
here's a page on it

I thought it was similar to trilobites.

Got that right. They might text each other or something.

Autistic =/= introverted. I'm autistic and an extrovert.

Me too --- especially online!

My diagnosis is probably outdated: I was professionally diagnosed with severe autism in 1999 and again in 2003, although nowadays, I can function pretty well, and so I'd probably diagnose myself as high-functioning autism. However, I think my dad has PDD-NOS, so I could've gotten the spectrum disorder from my father's side.

I plan on having my diagnosis of Aspergers re-looked at. I don't think I have it.

Depends on where you live exactly. Hell it seems like the only people outside the U.S (certain cliques in France) aren't arguing over whether or not it actually exists.

Yeah. I know I have autism, and I do get support, but the issue is that they haven't seemed to have updated the diagnosis.

I live in the UK and the condition certainly exists...I just don't think I have it.

So, have any of you heard about this theory?

Personally I think it is ridiculous, but what do y'all think?

Sounds like a load of bunk that you'd hear from second wavers and TERFs

Fuck that theory, so much. The fact that "extreme male brain" proponents aren't viewed as laughable at best is a sad summary of how much autistic voices actually matter in the psychological establishment. Just more pseudoscientific justifications for archaic gender roles and dehumanizing stereotypes about autistic people lacking empathy.

when it comes to empathy the reverse can often be true. I'm just surprised the theory isn't "extreme female brain" if we're going off the stereotype of women being more emotional and emphatic both are considered feminine traits traditionally and aspies display them both with a surprising frequency.
