Autism in SL

So its the sympathy you want? Ok let me try to make you happy. FUCK YOU TORELY! HELLO SAMMY SAM MY NEW FOUND FRIEND IM SORRY YOU HAVE AUTISM WOULD YOU LIKE A HUG?

"It's completely unnatural and prejudiced, and those who make such statements should learn more about my background first, or work with people with disabilities and conditions --"
The implication is that people should learn about a disability, but in fact you have no disability because i have what you have, and i know that it is not a disability and take offense to the implication i do. Also, as you have no disability you have lied so you have done wrong. Pretending you are disabled is also illegal.

Erm - why are you all being so hostile to this guy? ffs guys.

My parents BOTH work with autistic children, and they all express themselves in different ways, this thread is utter bollocks and the sooner they lock it the better.

If you are trying to hug me don't when people touch me i bite them. If you were being a liar it is ok, but it is probably none of your business, i find your statements illogical.

1. I've never been interviewed by SL Universe.
2. I've never called you disabled.
3. I've never pretended to be disabled.

Please - just go away.

You know it takes alot to get me worked up. But i think you have done a good job. Will a simple FUCK YOU suffice?

1. You weren't interviewed, it was a transcript, that is correct
2. Yes, you called me and all autistic spectrum sufferers disabled
3. Every time you said you had autism you pretended to be disabled.

because he is trying to tarnish the image of a outstanding person.

Just browsing the posts by a certain Torley have given me a kindof "I'M AUTISTIC LOOK AT ME" vibe. Now, firstly, she can't be autistic as the way she is using the word implies, because an autistic person is not capable of the kind of interaction she is displaying, to call yourself "Autistic" puts you to the low functioning (bad) end of the scale.

High functioning
(Asperger's syndrome and such like)
Low functioning
(This is called autism, and you say you "have autism"
Someone with an autistic spectrum disorder who could be called autistic WOULD NOT be on a social game like secondlife, and would definatly not be displaying the extreme level of social awareness and motivation Torley appears to have. You must be low functioning to say "i have autism, and if you're low functioning it's highly unlikely you'll say that, because if you've ever met a person with it you'll know.
I took offense to the fact she referred to it as a "disibility". Low functioning Autism is a disability, and there is no way she has it, it is illogical as she displays non of the symptoms.
Now, where i am going with this is that telling people you're "autistic" when in fact you have "an autistic spectrum disorder" is an extremely mis-leading and wrong thing to do. I know because i have Asperger's Syndrome, and i have never felt the need to mention it to anyone, ever, nor would i want to, and i am definatly NOT autistic.
Also another thing which bugged me is the fact Torley said in her SL universe interview that she found it hard to explain things without emoticons, well, anyone with anything that could be called Autism is about as likely to understand meaningless horseshit like as i am ready to stop trying to make women like and accept star wars.
So, i just want to advise Torley to tone it down and stop giving mis-leading information about being "Autistic", because i know a consider amount about autism, having an ASD myself, and i know that it is terribly mis-leading to introduce yourself as Autistic, because calling yourself Autistic is telling people you have an illness which you do not have, and this is a lie so it is wrong. I also feel that with every post and comment Torley makes about autism, a little more ignorance is put into circulation and social standards which i nor any of the people with ATDs i know are erected which we cannot stand up to.
Music makes my ears hurt and shakes my brain so i don't like that either. And flame me if you wish, because i'll probably never read this post again.

This is a post where i am not talking to you, your replies are illogical and you are either getting mad because you are stupid or because you know i am right, these are the only two logical outcomes. I suggest you review the situation.

Weren't you perma banned dumbass?

Having AUTISM and having AN AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDER are entirely different

If he wasn't, he should be for a) misrepresenting me, b) misrepresenting Miss Torgeson, c) posting bigoted drivel

I befriended samuel in world, when he was a noob, and he unfairly slagged me off too, calling me all sorts of things to a friend of mine... and NO I am not a bitch and everyone that knows me knows so!.... therfore I do believe, its just the sad lil thing he does

There is no bigotry, the fact is that i take offense to Torley saying "i have autism" and "my autism" and "i am very open about having autism" and basically saying "I HAVE FUCKING AUTISM EVERYONE COME AND BE MY FRIEND". She didn't really say this. People with autism and asperger's syndrome are like me, the ones you are shouting at, Torley does not even have Asperger's syndrome, http://www.sluniverse.com/language/ is where the interview is posted, compare her to me, you'll know who has a spectrum disorder just by knowing both of us.

Entirely different? Pallie, that's not what the DSM IV (299.80) suggests.

At least you can tell the difference between me and Torley now. Good lad. Torley's the one who never says fuck off.

Anyway, I'd love for you to tell me how you know Torley better than she knows herself.

Let me give you an example as you are uninformed and probably too unintelligent to understand what you pointed me too.
A person with Autism, 40 years old, could believe they are 14 and still want to have a girlfriend and play on the swings.
A person with Asperger's Syndrome, 40 years old, could be a rocket scientist with a familt and a beautiful big house.
Saying "i have autism" implies you are a person with a serious disability". Having a spectrum disorder may not even be noticable. The truth is, Torley uses it as a BE MY FRIEND card. There is no such thing as a BE MY FRIEND card, it is a metaphor or something.
