Identity Issues...

[Liberal Cynic]

Excuse me as I go to the Game thread to Find an interesting bit of info...

EDIT: Ah here it is...

Fact: 72% of Percentages are made up

I think it goes "67% of all statstitics are made up."

Also looked up androgyny. Sounds like what I am. I guess you could say I'm not actually male or female, but androgyne. Also known as genderqueer. That's the more blunt, political term though. Sounds kinda offensive to me. Bleh. X3

Let me be specific on this one.

You are you. No-one else is you. Anything else is simply an approximation (to be generous. Pigieon Holeing if you're not feeling so generous) of certain aspects of you, and as such are completely irrellevent

And considering that about 4% of the U.S. population is vegetarian or even semivegetarian, I know an awful lot of them. Maybe group members just gravitate to one another.

Well, except that I'm bisexual. However, it could be explained. A larger proportion of autistics are asexual than the overall proportion of asexuals, and I am autistic. Therefore, I gravitate towards autistics, of which there are more asexuals amongst than the overall population.

To what degree are you autistic? O.0--?

Does "Autistics" include people just in the Autistic spectrum? I can understand why someone with Autism would be "asexual", this would of course be a "low-functioning autistic" or one that basically cannot really percieve anything, or not alot at least, of the "real" world. High functioning Autistics, which people with Torettes are somewhat on that spectrum, would most likely have a preference. There is of course feelings involved too, which many people in the Autistic spectrum have trouble conveying. There are always exceptions though, and I'm not a expert in the matter. I have Torettes so I know a bit about this .

My Uncle has Autism and Terrets, so I also know a bit about this. I've never seen him really do anthing that would express a prefrencce for either sex, and it get's kinda hard since he's a copy cat Autistic (Repeats stuff he hears). The closest I've ever heard him to expressing a gender prefrence is hearing him repeat "Gay Marraige" over and Over when it was the only thing on the news.

My brother is so severely autistic to the extent that he doesn't know how to converse or do anything creatively. He's turning 18 in 5 days and we have to get guardianship for him.
