My oldest son has autism, and during your application process I fought for you to have a fair chance, knowing some of the challenges you have faced in your life. After you joined you proved yourself to be a competent, active, and quiet player. This was great, there's no rule that you have to be social, our rules are very clear: play when you want, follow the rules and have a good time. You were up front about how you feel about other people and our response was: No problem, just follow the rules, which includes treating people with respect.

You can't use autism as a shield to be a dick to people, which is what you do. You are obviously intelligent, you should realize that even if you don't care what people think about you that being rude and belligerent doesn't get you anywhere in a social game like this. Instead of taking direction from leadership about curbing your rude behavior, which I'd like to add is against the rules in the guild, you basically told them to screw off and that we were on 'thin ice'. If you were just able to take simple direction or criticism about your behavior you would still be guilded. These are all minor issues that other new players have no issue with regardless of their neuro status.

I'm glad you posted here because I had thought about DMing you, and I really wanted a chance to let you know that you have missed an opportunity here. Hopefully you can use this as a learning experience, being nice to people is easier and gets you farther more often than being rude. Why do you always take the hard road? What do you think you have to prove? All sorts of people have autism, it's a gift, use it for good and help the people that you share this life with instead of thinking that you are somehow not a part of a community and have a role to play. Please take care and good luck to you!

I'd like to second the post. I work with a lot of group homes and retirement villages, and we use p99 to teach residents basic life skills if they are ready for social interaction.


It's a nice mix-up because we use Blood emulators for motor skills.
