Do you have autism or asspergers syndrome?

I'm autistic or on the autistic spectrum

I don't have autism

So, I noticed there's hordes of fanboys who love to punish others on this forum. Autistic people have impaired abilities to have sympathy or empathy for other people. I wonder if this is a reason behind the huge outpourings of attacks on posters who are struggling with an issue related to Destiny? Have you no sympathy? Does your autism prevent you from feeling others' pain? Do you even understand what I'm saying bro? EDIT: I don't think it's autism. It's the Republican Party...teabaggers anyone?

  • ... Please don't tell me what I just read is that this community is an intolerable bunch of jerks because everyone here's autistic. If that really is what I just read I think I'm gonna punch you in the face. -.- Autism does not make people insensitive jerks, fyi. Seriously is this how people view us? Autism makes us [i]different[/i] not [i]inferior[/i]. Our brains work differently, and yes, we struggle socially, but [b]NO[/b] that does not make us insensitive jerks! All it means, in terms of this subject, is we won't realize the underlying angry/hurtful tone in some things we say. We don't have a lack of sympathy; we have a struggle realizing that something we say might be offensive, from time to time. Apologies about saying I'd punch you in the face, but bloody hell, man, think about how what you say might make others feel, would ya?
