I don’t think you’re unintelligent. Frankly, I don’t know if you are or aren’t. I don’t know you.

All I know is on this forum, you’re annoying as fuck. See: posting history.

Do you think that I don’t know my motivations?

Lemme guess: some Pollyanna flavor of Tourette’s?

You’ve taken the time to say that you don’t think I’m unintelligent, and couldn’t even form a yes/no answer to a simple question.

Pity.

It’s harmless, but there’s nothing to it and it takes up space that could be occupied by more important things.

I think people are continually and unnecessarily cruel to you. But I probably missed when your posts were less thought out.

I guess I can say I like you fine when you’re not jumping on someone else’s bandwagon and when you’re making posts based on something relevant instead of just a post count.

I think you might have Asbergers, or some other high-functioning form of autism. This is not meant to be an insult or slight against you, simply an observation. Your posts can be a little annoying, but not enough to take any effort to actively dislike you.

Yeah, I’ve thought about this before but I didn’t want to say it for fear of being rude. It seems like yhwx takes things very literally even if they’re clearly a joke, he seems very fascinated with “crunching the numbers,” and he has one-sided conversations (namely the Mac or PC and Anime threads, where it’s very clear that everyone else is just taking the piss). I mean absolutely no disrespect, but this is just what I’ve seen.

Since I’m no physician I cannot say one way or the other. What I can say as a regular person is that “bandwagon posts” are in no way indicative of such a thing. People with Asperger’s as I know it are very singular personalities. I believe yhwx is just looking to find his place here and it can be tough. I know.

Telling anyone that the way you’ve approached it is an insult, or at least immature. Like it or not, speaking as someone with Aspergers himself, when diagnosed by a total stranger–it is rude as hell.

Don’t be a dickwad just because someone’s a little odd. Unfortunately that’s just how it goes.

I agree with this… As much as Yhwx annoys me sometimes those comments were over the line.

Disclaimer: I generally see Aspergers as a handicap I work to overcome, so I’m overly sensitive. It’s done me a lot of good in my life, but makes what comes natural to others difficult for me.

I’m gonna have to concur with the last two posts here.

Don’t diagnose someone of a mental problem over the Internet, unless you want to seem like a jerk. You can say that you’re not intentionally being a jerk, but you still are.

Sorry about that, he wanted an honest opinion and he got that. Someone mentioned bandwagoning earlier, and we appear to see that again here with someone who agreed with me redacting their comments.

speaking as someone with Aspergers himself,

Oh hey, me too.

While that gives you a little more klout in speaking such way… there could have been a better way to phrase it. Though I will say I think you were more polite than Jeebus, who has since [REDACTED].

Disclaimer: my daughter has Aspergers, and when she’s old enough we will be telling her that it makes many things more difficult for her, but also makes her special in many positive ways.

^Which is how my folks approached it as well. Note I said it’s done me a lot of good. I’d venture most of my IRL friends are on the spectrum to a certain degree. I’m constantly grappling with how I feel about it as an adult, more than a lot of my other associates with the same issues, but it has nothing to do with the way I was raised. Good on you, Frink.

My folks approached it very similarly, but perhaps went a bit overboard. I kind of wish they didn’t say anything.

Interesting. I don’t think we could not tell her, it’s part of what makes her who she is and who we love.
