Aspergers/autistic tropers meetup

This post was thumped by the Eldritch Flyswatter of Horror

I'm not entirely this thread needs to exist...

That being said, hi! I'm not an aspie myself, but what the hell.

Yeah, while your intentions were good, I'd say the other thread might be fine enough if you want a specific thread for this.

(Also neither autistic nor an aspie, at least never been diagnosed and have no reason to suspect it, but hey, how's it going.)

I thought this was a thread to plan a RL meetup of tropers with autism/aspergers.

The "Who was diagnosed" thread is different from this. I figured this was different, about meeting each other or getting to know each other. The other was just "Who's one of us?"

I guess this thread will go nowhere. What a shame.

if it did go the way you imagined it, it wouldn't go the way OTHE Rs imagined it, then we all would have to type down how we would imagine it and how to imagine it, or even where and when to imagine it or why to imagine.

Imagine it...

I think the Troper Covens section would be more appropriate.

Okay. Do people actually go there? Topics don't seem to get updated often, so it looks like people aren't going there.

~ does necromancer thing~ I'm reviving this thread because I got a message from my lit teacher. He really liked the essay I wrote for an AP prompt. I don't know how I should respond. I know I should probably say thank you, but I don't know how to

This has to be more successful though.

What has to? I just want to know the proper way to thank him for complementing me on my essay

Ummm you do know you posted your question in the Aspergers/autistic tropers meetup thread right?

Yes. The reason I have trouble with things like this is because I have Aspergers

I don't remember which essay you're talking about, to be honest. Congrats, but I don't think I've seen it.

I don't rememebr being obliged to post it here. I'm talking about an essay I submitted for a school assignment . My teacher sent me a message praising it. I'm not entirely sure whether or not I should respond, and if so, how?

Don't you respond in person? None of us here have seen your essay.

...what is this I don't even.

Oh, you're asking how to thank your teacher for liking your essay. I understand now. This is still not the best thread to post this in, maybe the Insecurity and Sadness thread in Yack Fest would be better. It may not be about sadness necessarily, but it is about asking for advice.

Anyway, I just say thank the teacher directly after school or after class or something.

@Xopher: A little delayed of a response from me here, but it's probably best to at least shoot back a short message along the lines of "Thank you, I worked very hard on it and appreciate the praise, etc."

(Not diagnosed as autistic or asp, nor do I feel like I edge toward there too much on the spectrum, but figured eh, might as well post here.)

It's kind of a chore for me keeping track of the names of people tossed around in the media and who they are, as well as people I meet. Like Paul Walker. How am I supposed to have known who he was? The stories about a celebrity's death are usually the first time I actually find out who they were, or hear about them at all. Am I the only one here that experiences this? Is it even that unique ?

I don't know who many celebrities are. I don't pay attention to that kind of stuff at all.

Exactly. I don't underatnd how evryone around me knows who Paul Walker was and why is death was ironic

I don't know who he is either. And I'm also not interested. Just another celebrity, I'm sure.

Well, a simple glance at Google News's front page, where Paul Walker's death was the main story, told me who he is and why his death is ironic. He's the lead actor in the Fast and the Furious movie series about car racing, and he died in a car crash while going really fast (he wasn't the one driving).
