I can understand that history and I am sorry you had to go through it...I can understand that too. Yes women tend to turn inward in most cases:) Which is both good and bad...our whole culture needs to learn about Kiersey personalities, cognitive therapy and handling emotions and boundaries through out our school years to make this a better place...<br />My son is an aspie and he does have more strong outward bursts of emotion...sometimes it IS hard but on the flip side he is the sweetest child with such a pure heart...he just hasn't learned how to handle that and we must tread very carefully with him as he internalizes all criticism or anything hard...more than others...Kmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947797743800775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971383103866151443.post-33544161815885757922014-05-29T10:07:44.770-07:002014-05-29T10:07:44.770-07:00Thank you Kmarie for your feedback.

I was trying to understand the issues and problems faced by the Aspies...as I believe that I too may have many aspie traits. <br />I too faced many issues regarding bullying and testing of one's level of patience and tolerance ...and I wondered why I could not tolerate or laugh off easily while other people simply brushed off certain issues...why I took everything too seriously ...<br />Although I never resorted to violence, I can understand why some aspies may resort to violence under certain circumstances...but then again, as you have said, that may be an individual issue and not an aspie trait...<br /><br />I also agree with you and I too think that aspie women turn inwards (rather than turning outwards) when faced with problems / bullying...i.e. they will self harm, feel intense remorse and sadness or feel guilty rather than resort to violence.<br />about aspie men, I have no idea...<br />Take care,Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17363854783134050594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971383103866151443.post-12499243269312879072014-05-28T08:43:14.007-07:002014-05-28T08:43:14.007-07:00I cant speak for male aspies but I have never hear...I cant speak for male aspies but I have never heard of it in a women aspie to go violent.<br /><br />I do think that ur theory could apply to anybody with any difference...not just aspergers but that makes sense that bullying and childhood play a huge part in creating more violence later...<br />I do believe that society IS creating some of this with our video games, our violence worship, our lack of therapy, our worship of extroverts and perfection. and stigmas on differences...it IS a societal problem unfortunately.<br />Thanks for your thoughts and perspective...Kmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947797743800775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971383103866151443.post-19142384611609600662014-05-27T02:28:24.467-07:002014-05-27T02:28:24.467-07:00You know, I may be wrong but I have a theory that ...You know, I may be wrong but I have a theory that perhaps autistics/ aspies are bullied the most and that is why they may get sensory overload and may turn violent or abusive towards not only towards their perpetrators but also towards their "own self ".<br />I am not saying that only autistic people turn violent -anybody may turn violent because of abuse but also autistic people because they have a ' lower level of tolerance' ( meltdown/ sensory overload ). If any person is bullied and rejected for a long time due to one's apparent differences/ disabilities (autistics are bullied more because of their minority status ) then one may either become depressed, commit suicide or attack the perpetrator ( in a few cases). <br />So, it is rather the fault of the bullies and perpetrators who drive an autistic child or an autistic young adult to such a tragic end. <br />In cases of crimes like rape and other forms of gender based violence, if the incident of rape goes unreported and the situation takes such a turn that - suppose if after a few days of the crime, the rape victim kills the rapist, then will they brand the rape victims as murderers and the rapist will be a martyr ? I know that this is not an appropriate analogy but I feel that the same goes with the case of crimes committed by the autistic people - one has to know who or what drove a autistic teenager to commit crime ( although crime of any kind cannot be supported, either by the victim or the perpetrator ) ? Is the society doing something wrong because of which the sensory overload problem as well as crime related to depression is increasing among the autistic people ? Just a thought.<br /><br />S<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
