I think you're all ****s. Though math I have no issues with what you do. I like you being here, but I do reserve the right to take the piss.
like i said before i find his threads funny, his banter is also funny (in a laughing at him and not with him sense) and that's fair enough mate, but lets not sugar coat what this is. an attention seeker looking for sympathy and or another piss taking orgy. bravo meth.
No one I can see takes the piss out of his condition, just the stuff he posts. There's a difference. If he wants to take part in the forum then he'll have to take the banter like every other poster. There shouldn't be special treatment and if that's what he's looking for, not 606 is not for him. Condition or no condition, if you say Zaha is the next Ronaldo, you're going to get rinsed!!
I've no problem with anyone taking the piss out of matth because he does have some.... interesting opinions and he certainly doesn't hesitate to do it to others. I'm just saying that autism isn't really a cry for attention whether or not Matth has it is up to you to decide. Me? I just find this hilarious.
Matth, your tribalism has nothing to do with your condition. Your trolling of the internet for stuff to give out about has nothing to do with it. Your constant abuse of people who disagree doesn't either. Otherwise it could be claimed the vast majority of not606 have autism. Besides, I think you are given more slack than others, but you draw it upon yourself. You do love that dislike comment button too. For me though, create as many threads as you like on here, more in fact There are varying degrees of autism. You are obviously not suffering from the severe end of the scale
That's the thing Matth, its not up to you to deem what is funny and what people should or shouldn't be allowed to say. You are funny most of the time, some of the stuff you come out with is priceless. But if you are going to swear and be abusive, people will do it back, Autism or no Autism.....thats just life. Crying when people do it back isnt going to help.
Symptoms which quite commonly include: a) Attention seeking behaviour b) An inability to recognise attention seeking behaviour for what it is Hence my post to KnR - an autistic may not desire to be the centre of attention, but they are quite likely to behave in a way that suggests they do, as well as being unable to recognise how they appear to others. So telling him he should stop being the centre of attention may well just be wasted breath as that may be a symptom of a medical condition. Like telling a haemophiliac that all they need to do is stop bleeding all over the floor. I was at uni with an autistic lad who would go to parties and talk in a ridiculously loud voice to anyone who would listen, as well as staring, getting involved in everything and generally looking like a prized tit. At first people thought he was just trying to be the centre of attention, and many people had a quiet word with him to try and help him fit in and be a bit less annoying. But he genuinely had no idea how he appeared and was unable to moderate his behaviour accordingly. Still, he ended up with a Masters from Cambridge and is now an assistant professor of Chemistry at Ohio State Uni so he's done pretty well for himself. I do pity some of his students tho - based on some of their online comments he is still largely unable to regulate his interactions with them, or understand any of their grievances about it.
