Phitypes: S- and autism spectrum

[machintruc]

That's ridiculous reasoning. She's autistic because she doesn't take into account that she's hurting conservatives. What the?! You'd be a very stupid, wishy-washy idiot if you tried to make everyone happy. You wouldn't have an identity of your own. Who's NOT autistic according to your definition? That's what I'd like to know.

But, she seems to prefer to hurt people rather than "losing her identity".

Then, she's autistic. Have you ever seen a --- who wasn't autistic !?

Can't say I think of people in terms of being plus or minus. But I don't think people with her personality are autistic. I think you just don't understand what goes on inside their heads. There could be any number of reasons for such behaviour. How do you know what her motivations are? How do you know what her private feelings are? How do you know what she regrets and what she doesn't? Must her feelings be written all over her face for you to recognise that she has them?

You seem wary of anyone who doesn't go around with an enormous grin on their face.

Right. Exactly.

I <3 this thread so very very much.

I'd <3 to know why. Is it autism or Machintruc that's inspired such emotions within you?
