bride if the people on that autism group are not mature and grown up enough to not be offended by the fact that there ARE touchers then your right I do not belong thier. Alot of autistics are touchers, this is just a simple fact and it cannot be avoided or pushed under the carpet. Just like if you talk about playing pool at some point there will be a discussion on pool chalk or billerd balls.

I can say for sure that there is nothing innapropriate about that because my mom has been a child advocate for over 7 years and "touchers" is a common subject of discussion in that circle.

also I NEVER said autism was funny..

I said that it is kinda funny when a child knows more about somebody elses body then they do. So technically I said the resulting benefits and boons of autism are funny and or whimsical.. To take offence to ANYTHING an autistic says without first assuming he or she had no intention of being offencive is stupid and ignorent considering how autism affects the brain.

I got no warnings or advice that ANY of my comments were offencive. Nobody told me, so how was I sapposed to know there was a bunch of people in the group that had no idea how autistic people typically express themselves and took offence to it?

I will admit it was wrong of me to attempt to act like everybody else in the feminism group and say goofy trollish things. But with the exception of that I have done nothing wrong.. If this were any other social networking site I would not be having problems. It just seems like the people here are very high strung and quick to anger. There is a guy at my work like that. You even have to be carfull how you say hi to him otherwise he will think your insulting him and he will complain about you.. So I AM familier with this kind of thing.

let me point out something

"Voland. it's your online behavior. your lack of awareness of the unspoken social norms"
Your words right?
What you describe is a textbook example of autism spectrum disorder... So for THAT to be a reason for banishment from a group ABOUT AUTISM, it only points out how redundant a autism group is if people can get kicked for exhibiting autistic traits. That would be like going to a terrets convention and getting kicked out for having a tick of cursing and screaming.. Just THINK about that for a second.. Dont start thinking about an insult simply stop and THINK about how rediculous that situation would be.. And then you will understand.

I am no longer frustrated I am curious at this point.. That guy at my work only has 1 friend and his friend gets pissed off just as easily as him.. My assumtion is that in a typical social environment this kind of person is rare and when present alienates potential friends..

This site.. or at least parts of it seems to be a statistical anomoly where a large percentage of that kind of person is present in a given environment and instead of THEM being banned and kicked out they themselves being the majority kick out people with a normal emotional ballance. perplexing...

It is titled "Why wasn't my group request approved?" and is meant to serve as advice and guidelines.

The reason your group request will never be approved is stated in the posts by the moderators and staff members on the very first page of that thread. Reading the entire thread will give you some idea of how the community works around here.

Thanks!

You let your cat play with a possibly diseased, wild rodent? That's rather irresponsible pet ownership right there.

You keep a dead rat, in your room? You're not autistic, just disgusting.

It has worked in the past... on smaller scale communitys..

I think its just the larger ones that choose to wait out and absorb attacks rather then give in to demands.
