Ignorance on forums

Haven't wanted to cause more problems on wrong planet by posting about this further there,so here is a post to let off what would have wrote,anyone else from WP who is experiencing problems with other users-please join in.


There is a user on WP who has made it a campaign to include am on most posts she rants through.
It all started on a thread of a decent community respecting user-about the treatment and differences between aspies and auties [cant remember exact details],am had wrote a post giving own view on why auties get better treatment for similar problems-and have always fought for equal rights of all autistics on wp-so had wrote in usual,neutral way.

But this user decided to ignore the post that am wrote and pick out words she didn't like,and called am prejudiced/in hatred of/ignorant of etc against 'high iq AS',and that someone like am should not be going into the majority of topics in wrong planet,just stay the fuck out-in other words.

If she had cared to find out instead of picking and choosing what offended her,am come from a family of 'high iq aspies' including sister who acts as an advocate for am as well as a friend,have an autie teenage cousin in dublin,and have lived with high IQ aspies and auties in residential care-am see all things as the same/having the same worth and could not care less on what IQ or disability someone has,thats' up to those who are petty and silly enough to argue 'who is the highest',the best etc.

Every word she used in that post described exactly how she writes,and her behavior to others,and the reply am gave to her was asking why she was taking it out on am,and why didn't she ask am directly if she had a problem? had stayed out of that thread from then on out of respect for the user who started the thread as did not want to be the cause of their thread getting ruined.

Am very easy going so have not reported her for any of it,but may do so if she carries on,as am fed up of coming on the only true communicative sanctuary am have [besides this blog], and reading constant hidden insults about am to wrongly inform others,her major issue seems to be about the fact am pro choice [to do with the idea of the cure],because am believe choice should come first if there ever is one,she has got it in her head am want to cure aspergers when am have only ever said those who would want one should have that choice-but the focus is always on strongly impaired aspies and auties whos' quality of life are low-has/will not be/en improved by any amount of specialist help,disability aides, support etc,never included mildly affected aspies who have little to no impairment and are anti cure,but again-believing in choice,if there was enough funding would believe in choice for all levels if that person wanted it-their body and all that.

She also sees the experiences am give on WP as negative/depressing,am don't have self esteem,
and am only giving the younger users bad examples which they will end up like and so on.
It's nice for her if she is able to lead a NT-emulating,independant life as a 'hidden aspie' like she has said,but she has excluded and abused the many aspies on WP who are not at the same level as her,as well as others like am who are classed at the severe end of the spectrum,with high complex needs.

She's wrong on the self esteem thing as well-stocked up on plenty of it,am able to see any side whether it's bad or good without bias,if she read the blog or had met am-she'd see exactly why it isn't all sugar and spice and all things nice.

And also,not forgetting-isn't the idea of a forum for each user to give their view,not just pick and choose the views that agree with the elitist few [unless that is what the forum has been designed for,and wrong planet is definitely no playground only for the 'high iq' last time am checked].

Another one from her-apparently am need to get a life,damn straight about that!
Have got almost no quality of life at all,though don't need to quote the blog for answers why.

The night time meds induced moral to the story [that most on WP know] is-don't judge anyone elses experience by own experience.
-don't treat others like shit for having different needs,a different form of autism,or a different experience [which is likely given that everyone has a different experience].
-don't treat them like shit for having different ideas about autism related things to self when it isn't breaking any rules.
-don't treat them like worthless shit if they're younger users [won't mention user names here who do that],but just because someone is a lot older doesn't always mean they will have more experience of life than a teenager.
-treat others how would want to be treated.
