What the fuck? Was there any need for any of this rudeness, Sibyl?
I know it came from the same place as the rudeness that drove me off this cozy little Exclusive Social Club for a while. (BTW, "Social" is a dirty word for an Aspie: we don't necessarily get it, but we do hanker after some of it.)Perhaps it would have been better for you to stay away, if your first message here in ages is to be incredibly rude, unprovoked, to one of the nicest people in this online community. Why the fuck DID you come back if you dislike us that much?And there's no such fucking thing as a fucking unprintable fucking word. Fuck.
Heh, oh how I have missed the amazing TH flamewars.
Sibyl, my dear, I have known many 'Aspies' who somehow manage to wear that title without letting it turn them into asshats. I have a particular pet peeve for the "you can't get mad at me for being obnoxious because of my Mental Illness!" school of thought, precisely because of the number of people I know and have known who manage to be compassionate awesome people while still having Aspergers (and any number of other conditions).
You'll get compassion and support here, but not if you can't manage to own your shit, or if you use it as an excuse for bad behaviour.
And Ellen is, as Matt said, one of the nicest people here. Way nicer than me, for example. So oh boy did you pick your target badly.

Matt--"The modern view seems to me to involve a false conception of growth. They accuse us of arrested development because we have not lost a taste we had in childhood. But surely arrested development consists not in refusing to lose old things but in failing to add new things? . . . Where I formerly had one pleasure, I now have two."

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson.
