Originally posted by SuzianneIt's not a definition, it's a short description that is necessarily rather vague and incomplete (e.g. "problems with social contact" could be a lot of different things, and only some of them are typical for autism) and unnecessarily incorrect ("problems with intelligence" are not part of the diagnostic criteria; many autistic people score within the normal range or above on IQ tests, and this is even a requirement for a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome, which is a form of autism). Do you even know the DSM-IV and/or ICD-10 criteria for autism spectrum disorders? Have you read any books about autism, or heard lectures, or been to conferences or seminars about autism? How many autistic people do you know?
Insulting and misportraying? According to who? You?
What I posted was a definition of Autism. If it's not "pretty" enough for you, then that's too bad.
I don't believe in "feel good" back-of-the cereal-box Dr. Phil "psychology". If you're looking for PC, then you shouldn't be looking in my direction in the first place.
It also explains Rag's behavior perfectly, which was my point.
I am quite curious to know what exact criteria for autism you think apply to Ragnorak and why. The way you posted it (confirmed by your reply to huckleberryhound), it sounds like you think "being a dick" can be explained by autism. If that's the case, I suggest you go and meet some real autistic people.

Originally posted by Very RustyI didn't disagree with you, exactly, I just thought your post was worth serious ridicule, as your tone was sooooo self-righteous and InterWeb Tuffguy, which I find laughable.
So, what exactly did you disagree with, in this thread you started? In which you got a quote I had made to someone else, and decided you would start a thread on it. ( only I don't believe you used the whole quote, just in part, which may or may not change the intent of the text)
When you start answering quotes made to other people that I have made, an ...[text shortened]... lled? Perhaps you can help me with that. 😉
You have a great day, and wonderful week-end! 🙂

Now what would that make the "Seiste" thread "Personal Attack" against me, I have yet to get an answer on that from any of the mods on why it isn't. Perhaps you would like to give it a shot? You are quite aware of the one I am talking about that got 20+ recs from the clique he hangs with. I am sure you wouldn't lower yourself by rec'ing it.
If you could explain why it is not a "Personal Attack", I would be quite willing to listen and take notes. 🙂

Originally posted by Very RustyI was just in the erase area, dump, and didn't see anything like you are describing. I think you asked me about it in another thread and I just got back to see the same question again.

Originally posted by Very RustyI put the quotation marks around the quote to show it was not a comment original with me. Not too hard to figure out since I wasn't hiding it. I don't get why it's a big deal to him anyways. I guess people think I need to show footnotes on my forum posts now, when other people can post the most idiotic bullcrap without blinking an eye.
EDIT: Of course you have evidence that it was a cut-n-paste? Or would you be just assuming this?
