Autistic Spectrum Condition/ disorder.

Do you speak in acronyms? I have a feeling that you do as you throw them around and just assume that it’s common parlance.

Thank you MerylStreep Streep. I googled after my question and realised I’d been a bit unaware. Especially as someone with a grandson who was diagnosed age 8 as being atypical but on the autistic spectrum disorder.

Having re-read the posts leading to mollygo’s comment linking her grandson’s comments, I genuinely can’t see anything thst breaches gransnet’s guidance so can’t see anything justifying pressing the report button

It wasn't me who originally me toned ASC, it was Mollygo when she spoke to me

Mentioned that should say

Except

I am ASC which she knows

It's been used as a stick to beat me with a few times

VioletSky

It isn't me though is it Molly

And asking me more questions as if I have questioned any part of those events

Stop being so personal, or you will push me to report, you are lucky I didn't report the ASC comment comparing me to a child

Maybe I should

I said my DGS is ASC and he used to make comments like I won.
If you take that to be a comparison with you, that’s your choice. I referred to my DGS.
Report away. And thanks for all the warnings about your predilection for reporting.
This thread is about a woman who refused to show her ticket when asked, and threw a tantrum in front of her son, not about you.
I show my ticket when asked, as does my DGS.
She had that option and chose to have a tantrum which unsurprisingly upset her son.

You chose to announce it some time ago on GN.

Unconscious bias

Do not like someone so do not believe them

I always say when I report

So if I haven't said it and you've lost a comment someone else thought it against guidelines

Unconscious bias again

Blame the person you dislike rather than consider other possibilities

This thread is supposedly about a lady who refused to show her ticket when asked and then had a tantrum, upsetting her son. No one has disagreed that her behaviour was upsetting for the child.
No one has said that some people have the right to refuse to show their ticket when asked, whilst others don’t have that right.
No one knows why the refusal was necessary.
I’m not quite sure why all the recent posts are not about that at all.

I do not know you, so I cannot like or dislike you.

We have an AC who is in the process of being diagnosed as neurodivergent, a teenage GC who is neurodivergent (high functioning) and a toddler GC who is being assessed at the moment.

Playing the ASC card is not allowed in our family.

Mollygo I have no idea either (post of 20.34)

I haven't played an ASC card

This is another poor example

All that is left on this thread is me and a few of you, I'm just defending myself... Why continuously put me in that position? I haven't said anything negative about any of you

I've simply shown you examples of unconscious bias, something everyone has in at least some areas and yes that includes me

I can only speak (post) for myself, I am defending your accusations of bias and privilege towards me, due to my differing views on the OP.

Nothing personal, no slurs or insults.

VioletSky
Your examples are what you believe to be fact. That doesn’t make it true.

'Playing the ASC card is not allowed in our family.'

what an appalling comment.

Some of the bias here is very conscious. My last comment.

Many of you have no idea what it is like to be targeted again, and again. The repetitive and cumulative effect can lead to very negative reactions. Some of you will call it 'chip on the shoulder' - I will try and see it in a different light- because it has happened to good, intelligent, sensitive friends of mine, and they told me about it. Some of my students too. And some family members, who grew up as 'coloureds' during the whole apartheid disaster.

I don't have a problem with different opinions

But I object to mine being twisted in order to further argument

Yes, VS, with you all the way here.

I am obviously not the only one who sees issues with the way this discussion is going

Fleurpepper

Yes, VS, with you all the way here.

Thank you

Fleurpepper I can only speak of what I know.

When a cheeky teenager comes back with but I am autistic as a response to a request or reprimand, as a family we know that they are playing the ASC card

They admit to doing so, nothing appalling at all.

I am the first to defend anyone on the spectrum.
