    I was born in 1978. Sorry but I do not want to release my exact birthdate on the web!
  1. Every time geneticists discover something 'important', homo sapiens is brought another step towards its increasingly imminent extinction.
  2. Nazi geneticists are pursuing their objective of a master race, initially by gentle seeming steps that fool naiive people, just like their idol Adolf Hitler did. Whatever the cause, genetic or otherwise, of somebody's Aspergers or Autism or many's another characteristic, it is inherent to the way they are. Autism/Aspergers could not be 'cured' without destroying - murdering - the people with that characteristic. The problem lies alone with those who cannot cope with diversity.
  3. Well if the rest of them in that pen and all their antics there represent 'normality' in its full glory, then one can only laugh.

  5. This amused me at least, athough it still relates to Aspergers. Once, when my late father meant to refer to my Aspergers he got his words mixed up and said Asparagus instead.

    Melatonin?

    As a child I slept wonderfully. Since my teens I have suffered from insomnia to varying degrees at different times. Over the past week or so my sleeping has been going through one of its better phases. If only this 'phase' would last forever.
  7. I detest geneticists and all they stand for. They are intent on creating a master race in which I will have no place. They are the Nazis - The Next Generation.
  8. Something Different I have Aspergers and I relate to a lot of what you say about yourself.
  9. I went to a mainstream school and I sincerely wish I had not. I would have been better off by far, both socially and academically, in an Asperger school. It might be said that participation in mainstream education gave me some flavour of 'normality', but at what cost? Being tormented out of my wits, and excluded by the other pupils from their social networks, leaving me terrified a decade on of anyone not paid to work with 'unusual' people? Comprehensive education is a pack of nonsense, never extended to the adult world for obvious reasons, based on the illusion that people with different aptitudes, personality types and 'behavioural tendencies' somehow belong together. It is to blame for a great deal of the grief that even many 'mainstream' pupils, never mind 'unusual' ones, are forced to endure. At the extreme it is responsible for the sheer bedlam that afflicts many schools, due to disruptive and even violent behaviour from pupils, who are either being forced against their will into a basically inappropriate environment, or who in some cases, let's face it, are just plain bad.
  10. Autism/Aspergers are utterly inherent to the personalities of those they affect : if I did not have Aspergers I would not even exist. So if I resented my Aspergers I would be resenting my own existence, which would clearly be nonsensical.
  11. Yes thats right waccoe, you tell 'em! I really enjoyed your jibe about the PT instructors! I would just describe PT as a form of supervised playtime for the physically strong and socially adept, in which those of them so inclined get opportunities to victimise those who are weak in terms of physique and/or social interaction abilities, and with the biggest bully of all in ultimate charge. (Compulsory dancing remains the ultimate example of PT horror in my own personal experience.)
  12. Well many of the symptoms of Aspergers are certainly being used to describe Sir Ted.
  13. I cannot abide noise because it completely disrupts my thinking processes, preventing concentration on anything. I do not find earplugs very useful and fear that they could even damage my ears. I think that even the obvious compensations which that would involve would be outweighed by the deprivations. Bluetack seems more promising! However, I also believe that in the first place society is far too tolerant of inconsiderate noisy reprobates who are allowed to create disgraceful degrees of noise pollution with blaring stereos, televisions, musical instruments, barking dogs etc etc etc... This intrudes on what ought to be my right to peace and quiet within my own living space. If these yobs need to live in a perpetual racket to drown out the crushing silence between their ears they should use ear phones and drive themselves deaf instead of those with the misfortune to be living near them. Better still, noisy and / or otherwise antisocial thugs who are renting council accommodation should all be sent to live next to each other on the same street, so that their current neighbours can have the peace they deserve. The dump I used to stay in in Inverness was extremely noisy, predictably enough on the basis of all the other vices there.
  14. I am in the Scottish lowlands.
