Oldiesfreak and Nathan are the same age

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Um, I'm high-functioning autistic, too, actually...

Sbane, I'm a senior.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Not that I'm disputing this happened with anyone else on this thread, but no one should identify as a high functioning autistic or with Asperger's unless they've actually be diagnosed as such by a reputable psychologist. There is a huge difference between Asperger's and being a nerd. By the standards some people used (*coughwormyguycough*) almost every person in grad school would be autistic.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I'm very aware of the difference, BRTD.

I'm very aware of the difference, BRTD.

So am I.

Nathan is a gem of the human race.

Oldiesfreak is just a very sad case.

Oldies has noted he's high-functioning autistic.

We all have our crosses to bare; some are heavier than others.

So by your logic I should be posting the same crap he posts?

Didn't know that about you. Regardless, my defense isn't of his posts' content, but merely to say piling on the disabled ain't cool.

Autism isn't a disability.

I have been diagnosed ftr, at a very young age too.

Autism isn't a disability.

It is, in the sense that it makes one's life tougher in some aspects.

[Napoleon]

Using that definition, poverty and ignorance are also disabilities.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Using that definition, poverty and ignorance are also disabilities.

And it is inside you. I think the difference is fairly obvious.

So stuttering is in then?  What about being short?  Bald?

[morgieb]

A factoid that just crossed my mind. Make of that what you will.

Bravo! Bravo!

So my co-worker, who is also 29, and is raising three daughters as a single mother, is immature because she also has pony pictures around her cubicle and likes to watch the show with her daughters?

She has kids. You don't.

"Piling on the disabled" is perfectly OK if your issue with them has absolutely nothing to do with their disability. Are you are implying that Oldies' sheer stupidity and obliviousness toward historical facts is somehow linked to having Asperger's? I find that pretty insulting.

Hmm. Youj're far more educated on the topic than I, so you're probably right. Again, not defending the content of his posts. I gujess despite their mind numbing quality he's at least a decent chap, unlike at least two a-holes (one sporadically but intensely so when in his zone, the other chronically) on this forum.

So only people with kids are allowed to like the show? How does having kids affect your taste in TV shows?

[Simfan34]

Single mother? A whole different beast.. .

I've seen stuttering classified as a disability.

Cool, where do I sign up for affirmative action and my disability benefits?

Sorry Tony, but you and about 99% of the forum here are the ones oblivious to historical facts.  And I am not stupid.  I've spent three semesters in colleges, and I had a 4.0 GPA in two of them.  And Badger, thank you for your sympathy even when everyone else here gives me crap for speaking the truth.

And as for the cartoon pony thing, if you think watching cartoons is immature, think abiut this:  ADULTS MAKE THEM!

Nice try, Obamanation.  I actually got it from one of my local community colleges, and I eventually plan on transferring to U of M for grad school.

For grad school? Do community colleges offer baccalaureates in Michigan?
