Thank you! My mother supported our family; my father didn’t work.

All four of my sisters support their families; their husbands

stay at home with the kids. I support my family (when I can find

a job!), and my husband stays home with the kids. My brother

works, cleans the house, cooks, takes care of getting the kids to

school and his wife shops.

I think who is the breadwinner is a matter of culture, which is

why we get so offended when someone else tries to tell us how to

live our lives. No, I would rather not be getting food stamps or

unemployment, but I have to have a roof over my head and

groceries on the table, so I need to rely on Q. Taxpayer for

a while. I refuse to feel guilty when I really have no other

control over my financial situation right now.

they did, because being at home with my mother all the time would

been much worse than getting to spend time with both my parents,

my father was way easier to deal with.

I live in Ohio, but I got the idea from a friend of my sister who

lives in Hawaii. She did the same thing there, but she tailored

her services to small businesses. I would try that, but I don’t

From what I've heard from my AS partner trying to find another

tech job

over the past couple of months, plus a number of articles I've

read since

then on the subject, you also need to have really good social

Hi Gareth,

I believe that Men and Women are wired differently and that is not a

sexist statement but a scientific fact.

It is true that despite Men being able to physically deal with

problems and thats the way they solve them. IE Someone calls them

something to their face!!! Women on the other hand are far more

capable of making a person suffer without resorting to punching them.

Women are very good at manipulating situations. They are very good

at planning etc. Diplomatically solving situations and that is why

they are perfect at planning their revenge. You know the saying of

Hell Hath No Fury etc....

Women are good at finding out information and Men just do not care

about that. For instance I saw a survey on TV where they proved that

if you ask a Man how his day was at work he will say OK I went into

the Office did some paperwork etc. If you ask a Woman she will

eloborate and tell you who she met and what she did and oh such and

such had a party or she had to have her cat put to sleep etc. She in

other words in willing to use a lot more words to describe her day.

Thats why sometimes Women get frustrated when a Man doesn't open up.

Now some but not all Aspie Men can act like Women and thus will open

up a lot more. But because of this they leave themselves wide open.

I have been guilty in the past of telling people too much and then

them using it against me. I did not know why they did it, but now I

do. It was because they could. For instance it is not always the

right time to tell anyone you have AS. Many did not know what AS is

and a lot of people when they hear Autism they think of Rain Man, so

its best to keep quiet if things are going smoothly.

Anyway back to Women. Women are very good at getting information

they want out of their partners. They are very good at being

diplomatic in the Family. For instance if the Father has a row with

the Son, well the Mother can quite easily calm the situation down, or

try to. Women because they are the ones that give birth have a high

tolerance to pain and that is not just pain when it comes to

physical, but also emotional.

Also Women are the perfect bullies. When I was bullied in the Office

I knew where I stood with the blokes and dealt with them accordingly.

But with the Women it was covert and behind the scenes so that

nobody knew what was going on. Little comments or gestures. Such as

it being somebody's Birthday and them having enough slices for

everyone in the office, but oh dear I am sorry not enough cake for

you . Or they would go out for a meal at dinner time and

exclude me. Or Gail would touch my leg when I was on the phone to an

important client and it would be me who would get into trouble as the

CLient would complain that I was not professional enough.

In Gails case a short skirt and fluttering eyelashes at the Boss

meant she got away with murder. She would take long cigarette breaks

and mess around in the Office whilst everyone else had to work hard.

She would choose her victim, which happened to be me and then flirt

with them and make them feel uncomfy. The thing is that goes on a

lot more than you would think and its to do with Groups or people.

The larger the office the less likehood of there being a Gail

Situation. As the Balance of Men and Women in the Office Grows then

so does that attitudes and tolerance of people. When another Man

started in the Office the Sexual Harassment and comments stopped.

But by then I had a Nervous Breakdown.

Now those Women did not have to resort to punching or hitting me.

They used devious means to hurt me. Making me an outcast from their

group and using me as a source of amusement.

Today Society has gone the opposite way to the sexist way Women were

portraid in the 70s. Now we have endless adverts making Men out to

be thick and brainless zombies who do nothing better than drink beer

like Al Bundy or Homer Simpson. So many adverts that make Men out to

be the people who do nothing around the home etc. Adverts that if

they were the other way around would provoke national outrage.

A leading Feminist has actually said that there should be Mens Lib

now as really Women have a lot more rights than Men in the Workplace.

Yes it is true that they still have yet to earn as much.

Its also true that the new generation of Women are not like the old

sort that used to just wait to be asked out on a Date. Many now do

not care and will go across and ask a Man out or openly flirt with

them.

What we now have is a new generation of rules that frowns on Women

who want to break them and dare I say it stay at home and look after

the kids. Those kind of Women are mocked by others that work. My

fiend Melody constantly gets quips off her Mom and Sister about how

they Work and still bring up the kids. Should she not have the right

to stay at home and nurture her family???? Or should we say that all

Women should work. Lets look at the facts. If Women work then they

have to pay for Child Care if the child is a tot and that costs a lot

of Money. If she is lucky the company will have its own built in

Daycare system for Employees. But if not then that can cause major

problems.

Anyway this has gone off on a Tangent. But I firmly believe that

evolution has given Men and Women certain skills, so they are equal

but different and it will always remain so.

One huge problem with everything you just said is that women with autism

can't do about 90% of what you talked about, and by *definition* --

literally -- men with autism do in fact highly value information in the

form of perseverative interests.

So while perhaps your beliefs stand up if you're talking about NTs, they

don't suit the autistic spectrum at all. Which means that, once again, it

is a case of NTs having one wiring and ACs having another entirely.

I agree with you. I was wondering why Gareth feels equality is a " false

view " as that (along with all of his misogynistic comments) suggests he is

against what people like you and I are in favor of. I can't question his

logic until I know what it actually is.

Same here I myself due to Gail and others in the past had to go on

Stress Related Illness. I am only just recovering and luckily Mom

has not had any sign of the Cancer Returning, touch wood.

It appears to me that I find it increasingly harder to go to parties

run by my family and talk to them. I feel I need to mention about

going back to work etc. Yes you are right. My cousin Vikki is

supported by her boyfriend Matt, but nobody cares about that. Yet

everyone looks at me cause supports me.

Like your Brother I do the cooking and cleaning and sadly we have no

kids, becaue of gyno problems with . But we are happy and

content.

In the UK you do have lots of options that I think the USA would do

well to implement. After 6 months on Standard Unemployment you have

to take a Scheme that is designed to get you back into work called

" New Deal " this Scheme will find you work and not only that for the

first 6 months pay you 60 pounds or 120 dollars a week ontop of your

wages to get you back on your feet with rent payments etc. As the

Government realises that people find it hard to come off benefits

with certain debts.

Another thing I firmly believe in is that College should be free to

the masses not just the privaledged few. I do not understand the

Governments in other countries that make people pay amazing fees to

get their kids sent to College. Here Education is Free, but

University you do have to pay for. However there are grants

available and low rates of interest, some as low as 3%

I think its highly important that the Governments realise that

Education is the key to getting people into work and paying Taxes.

After all a little investment by the Government would create a lot of

wealth in just a few years time. People who earn more pay more Tax

that is a fact. I think its common sense therefore for a slight

increase in the working Mans TAX to pay for Students to get Educated

from Poor Families.

In the UK we also have a European Drive for the whole of Europe to be

IT Literate by 2012. So if you want to take any Scheme that is IT

Related it is funded by Europe. The exams are paid for as is the

Tuition. People can laugh in the USA about this, but it has actually

worked. People made redundant from jobs are finding new ones in IT.

We are not talking people who got high marks at School either. Some

did not pass anything at School and had worked in Factories. When

the Factories closed down then they had to find other work and the

only work they could find was to retrain in the use of Computers.

Without Europe and certain Schemes this would of been impossible and

they would of been on the Scrap Heap.

I have never understood the attitude of the Government in the USA. I

am not bashing the USA and I have ancestors and friends who live

there. What I am saying is that people need to eat and they need to

get back on their feet. But thee doesn't seem to be a safety net

that stops them having to go on the streets.

Here you get housing benefit and council tax benefit. That means

that you rent is paid if you are unemployed. It is paid fully by the

Council, but if you are private they will only pay 400 dollars a

month towards you rent.

We do not get food stamps. We do however get money that is deposited

into the bank. My money is not means tested. Therefore whatever

earns or saves doesn't effect my Money. I get 140 dollars a

week and picks up 400 dollars a week.

So I suppose in the end you probably get the same. If your rent is

not paid you do get food stamps etc. Here they also have a scheme

for single mothers. But that has been abused by Teen Mothers who

have seen an easy way to get a nice house and get away from their

parents.

But there doesn't appear to be schemes to get people back into

Education and that is not a problem for the short term. But if it

carries on in America then their will be a Brain Drain and that means

that less and less people will be able to fill the vital jobs that

are needed. Such as Forensic Medicine. Networking and IT Related

Jobs. Doctors and Nurses etc.

I'm going to guess -- I think it's a derivative of the term " super-crip "

which is somebody with a disability that feels he is inferior to 'normal'

people and thus dedicates himself to tackling all kinds of obstacles to

feel like people respect him for his amazing deeds. Super-crips (or in

this case super-aspies) also typically show disdain for those that can't or

won't do the same things, and very often speak out against accommodating

the disabled -- in both cases reflecting what they fear average people feel

about them.

On the subject of Networking that is very true. I was offered a Job

but had a meltdown about it as it was in another country but was

paying big money. However I only was offered this once in a lifetime

job, because I found I cliqued with a Man whose Son did the hiring

and firing for a big Networking and IT Company. So he got on with me

and put a word in for me with his Son and volla.

I understand all about fitting in. At least we have IT Agencies here

where you can try your hand at different places and try and get you

face to fit.

At one time Computers were a Geeks World. Now more and more NTs are

realising how much money computers can pay so they are training up to

go into those fields. So no longer can the Aspie feel safe and just

get on with Programming or whatever, its all become about Socialising

again and going to the right School and playing golf with the Boss

after work. If you have ever seen Bewitched you will understand.

Larry Tate gets on with Darren cause he does what he wants to do.

Invited him over to his house for a meal etc. His job is also his

life and his career.

I have no doubt in my mind that I am going to need help to go back to

work. I will need help to answer the Telephone or even to Socialise

with groups of people. Its not going to be easy. Even in Factories

you have to be very sociable now. In the old days you had to just

get on with your job and no time for chatting. But now even there

you have to have people skills.

Now on Job Applications they all put MUST HAVE INTERPERSONAL SKILLS,

MUST BE ABLE TO WORK AS PART OF A TEAM. In other words you have to

be not on the spectrum. It discriminates against Aspies, but what

can we do???

If the job description said " MUST NOT BE BLIND " " MUST BE ABLE TO

WALK " Again there would be an outcry as that would be against people

with those disabilities. But when it comes to AS I do not think many

companies understand. Even traditional Aspie ones where all they had

to do was input Data or Network and Progam Computers. Even those now

require ability to work in groups.

Take care,

Steve

On the subject of building computers for people I usually end up

letting them off after a sob story etc. I am getting stronger but I

once worked on someone's computer for 4 hours and he gave me 20

dollars. Even then I had to prise the money out of his hand as he

did not think it was worth the cash.

Its a mute point here. Many people have smaller shops now that can

fix a computer for 30 pounds or put things in for 30. The difference

is they can offer guarantees on the parts and labour. Thus if

anything goes wrong within 6 months they will fix it or replace free

of charge.

Now nobody knows my skills. I taught myself to build computers and

saved myself lots of money. The old ones I gave to my Parents etc.

But now I can't be bothered. Recently I bought a laptop worth 1500

dollars. I took out a 600 dollar insurance policy new for old

nomatter how long I have it. If the Screen goes they will not

replace it they will just give me a new Laptop. Now we all know that

computer technology is getting cheaper and the specs higher. So if

they replace my Samsung V25 the next one will be V26-29 etc. They

will replace my laptop to the same value. A 1500 pound laptop today

would probably be very high spec tomorrow. Probably with twice the

processing speed and twice the memory. My cover is to do with

anything. If the CD Drive goes through wear and tear or if the thing

blows up for no reason. Providing I am not at fault they will

replace it with a new one. I back up all my Data onto the CD RW so

no problems. Also it has 2 USB Ports and firewire that allow me to

attach virtually any device I like. External Hard Drives and DVD

Writers and Printers.

Not so long ago I used to laugh at people that payed insurance on

their computers. But now it makes sense. I would not have a bulky

desktop for love or money now. is very pleased with the way

the place looks, she said the computers took up half of our house.

So everyone is happy. In fact I would say the laptop is twice the

spec of my custom built PC with the exception of the 160 gig hard

drive that I can buy for 200 dollars external and the DVD Rewriter

that is around 400 dollars external. So really if I buy the external

ones next year I will be back up to spec.

Equality usually is a politically expressed cultural

decision that all are entitled to equal __________

(equal opportunity, equal pay for equal work, equal

justice under the law). The reason we need equality

is because we aren't all the same. In the recent past

of this (U.S. and much of " Western " ) society, there

was a push for greater gender equality. That didn't

and doesn't mean " gender sameness, " it means making

sure all people (regardless of gender) have equal

________ (equal opportunity, equal pay for equal

work, equal justice under the law, etc.).

Sameness and differentness exist within gender

boundaries and across gencer boudaries, within

ethnic boundaries and across ethnic boundaries,

within age boundaries and across age boundaries,

and so on for every category imaginable.

the majority of men in this world.

Im trying to tell you what i told you. I dont give much thought

wether its hip or not, thats just incidental. I have a problem with

people who are something or do something just because they are

expected to. So does he. Well, he just thinks they are small people.

Femenism is the much more accepted way of thinking now, thus if i

were to proclaim that everyone is the same, then i would be in vogue,

people would nod and agree without thinking about it, mostly. That is

the opposite of what i am saying however, which is that a mans heart

leads him to a different place than a womens. I refuse to allow

steryotyping of us all into similar humans, a homogeonous good as i

like to call it, without challenging it.

Whether you are the norm or not is irrelevant, i will fight for your

right to be whatever you want. I tend to side with the underdog,

which is why i am fighting for my masculinity in all this, for mens

masculinity to have a right to exist. People tell me much that i am a

strong man because i am in touch with my femenine side. Well, i am.

Im still a man in my heart though, which gave me the chance for

qualities i am very proud of.

> How stupid of me, not being NT!!

Why? theres nothing wrong with who you are now

> Now….where's that lion?

The lion is the rain when i give you my coat, the emty purse when i

pay for your taxi. The lion is the door that is closed, and the man

who barges past you.

If that seems sexist then im sorry for whover dislikes it, the

interplay beetween man and women is a beautifull thing, and should

not be " equalised " out of existance.

Oh, and the lion is in africa, and i would not stand by while a woman

was attacked by one, i meant it quite literally.

Quite right, too. Its stating the bleeding obvious, but it needs to

be done a lot more than it is now, as its not the fashionable thing

to say.

Equality is false as it is taken to mean something different to what

the word actually means. As most people have been arguing in the

previous posts, it is now taken to mean in a nutshell " theres no

difference3 beetween men and women "

Thats not what equality is, but what equality now stands for is false.
