Why do I get treated differently here?

(This post was last modified: 02-07-2015, 06:53 PM by JaguarsWoman.)

Quote:I still have some questions when it comes to JW and her AS. I understand that AS affects social and mental processes in the brain, but shouldn't someone with AS at least be able to understand basic social comments and interactions, and what the difference is between a polite, and impolite action is? Maybe JW really does have AS, but AS is only a small part of a much bigger problem for her.
Supposedly Putin has AS, but from what I've seen, he appears to behave and talk pretty normally for a world leader, and there appears to be nothing out of the ordinary about him from a social perspective. He is eccentric at times, but nothing crazy.

 

I remember reading a post of JW's from last year where she said that she didn't drink: alcohol, soda, water, or juice. If that's really true, then how can she even be alive right now lol? You're telling me that a 38 year old woman can't tell the difference between those four things just by using her basic human senses of taste, sight, and smell? AS or no AS, common sense and the five basic senses are universal to every person.
Either JW is actually normal and is just trolling us all for her own entertainment, or there's more to this story than just autism. I mean look at this thread alone... she started this thread out of resentment for the way that other people had been treating her on here. Wouldn't someone with her condition not even care or notice what other people said about her in the first place?
 

You have it backwards. Another problem on top of AS would be the small one. AS is a combination of physical, psychological, and social disorders - that is why it is called a syndrome. For example I can't be a multi-tasker.


 

I know all of the easy manners - please, thank you, shake hands, eye contact, etc. But there are other social skills that are harder to pick up on, like when I should not talk or what comments and questions are inappropriate.


 

You are wrong about the juice. I drink one flavor, apple juice, occasionally. But I have to drink it in moderation because it causes cankersores in large amounts. Grapefruit juice is a banned drink for me because I take Lipitor.


 

Alcohol is another story. I read it can trigger seizures or make epilepsy medications less effective. My current prescriptions are doing a very good job of controlling them.


 

All other drinks are just gross. They don't taste the same. I just don't like any of them.


 

I am alive because I drink lots of 1% milk.


 

And BTW the five senses are not universal to every person.
