I'm sick of the anti-vax jerks using my AS as an excuse to dismiss my criticisms of the BS.

"Your lack of Social Skills, which is a common symptom of Aspergers is very illuminating, but it does nothing to further your Self-Centered World view that promotes the concept of "I turned out OK", so therefore all the others must be lying approach. People with Aspergers on the whole lack Empathy for their fellow man, and you are a prime example of this."

Oh FUCK THAT. Yeah, my being there for my disabled lady friend must be all in my imagination. :grr:

1. That is an absolute lie....

...and a digusting effort to deflect your criticism with an ad hominem attack.

2. I've seen it a couple of times from the woo-woo's

and it's complete bullshit that posters like that are allowed to continue posting. If the same thing was said about any other group of people it wouldn't be tolerated. For example "you're gay, so you just can't understand"; "being black makes you unable to understand the nuances of the opinion"; "having Down's Syndrome, you are mentally incapable of posting here at DU". Why the fuck are they allowed to get away with this shit?

You know I've got your back any time you need it.

3. Thank you.

That poster is a bigot, as shown by her equating autism with "non-verbal and thrown shit around".
