    In short, yes.

    EDIT: Oh my life, i'm so sorry, i've just had a look on your editted post and completely misunderstood it. I thought you had said, that THIS thread was another ignorant aspie one. I was the one who negged you for it too. I'm so sorry. :ashamed2: I shall rep you to make up for it.

    If you want to, I don't mind discussing what I said offensive

    In my opinion, I don't think that it was his place for making a generalisation about people who have asperger's from just his one friend. Then the responses he did on the thread where very ignorant (which has now been taken down).

    Your view?

    Could you look at my edit please? It explains my idiocy and misinterpretation. You didn't offend me, it was simply my ignorance. I can't rep you for your earlier post to make up for it, but, i'll rep this one instead. Once again, i'm really sorry.

    I can't rep you now because of the time in which I negged the previous one. But, I promise I will rep you once the time constraint is over.

    Erm, I have a couple of university summer schools lined up and would like to meet up with my friends. Doubt it will happen though, because I tend to put social outings off.

    I can totally empathise with you here! Especially, the eccentric persona part, because I only received my diagnosis last year and ever since, take criticism about my personality with a pinch of salt. So they can like it or lump it!
    Yeah, I don't really mind if people think I'm odd/eccentric. No one's really been critical, or if they have been I've not picked up on it and just seen it as a neutral observation haha. Which I wouldn't be surprised if that has happened a couple of times.

    Aha! Agreed. I don't even realise when someone is being critical, especially if it's through sarcasm!

    Like i have mentioned previousally, I love Trains (Modern UK FTW!!!) and Motorsport (Runs in the family). I am an easy target at school for bullies, and i get very very depressed at times. I love 007 and like writing scripts for films that i make myself. If i was richer i would race and have a full model railway, but im selling my stuff to get bigger stuff

    WOO POST Number 600!!

    Had a job interview today, they asked me why they think I deserve the vacancy more than other applicants, I paused for 2 minutes and then said something to the effect that I didn't really know why or whether I was more worthy and that I'd feel bad taking a place from an applicant in a worse situation than me or who is in greater need... then the lady kind of lectured me and then tried to persuade me to boast and asked me to give three reasons why I should get the job and I could only come up with one after a while and it wasn't very good, then she said I should call her on Monday once I'm in a different mindset and that I didn't come across as very enthusiastic.

    So I wrote her number down on my hand and then half an hour later forgot I had it on my hand and when washing my hands noticed its faint outline and cringed.

    I'm pretty sure this constitutes as a very aspie day.

    I hate this question. Along with "why do you want to work for us?"

    Is anyone else going to the Autism show next Friday? A friend is meant to be speaking about employment.
