Please define autists. 

Also I think you are talking about a personal situation you are dealing with at home. Is that right?

The people on this forum may think you are talking about some of the people on the forum.  Most of the melancholics are going "Is she talking about me?"

Please clarify.

They call it a spectrum for a reason.

I don't want to talk about my personal situation. People so weird and prying here it bugs me out. But I do like your compassionate tone.

What I mean is that some people on the more functioning end of the spectrum, can and do cause moral harm. Which is sinful. Obviously. So my question is, should we try to encourage those people to take a step back from public internet access for the sake of avoiding that moral harm.

If some people are taking it so personally here on the forum, then there are a number of reasons. Yes it could be their melancholic temperament. But it could also be some people who are afraid to get diagnosed, because it would mean them having to think about their behavior online.

I think we should be considerate of people online just as we are considerate of people just as we are in real life. In real life we avoid certain situations (like I mentioned above) which cause us to cause harm to others. Why can't we do this online? why is it that just because it's online, that we can just be a totally rude and obnoxious person, when we are not allowed to do this in real life to our families and friends??? And if it is because of a condition we have (that maybe we are afraid to face up to), then maybe we should face up to it, and take the proper measures to avoid those situations.

Those of us who know autistic people know that its just training they need. But higher functioning ones are harder. Because we all know they have a problem, but maybe they have avoided diagnosis, or maybe they have got it, but ignore it. And because they are able to get have a job, we all think its ok. And that their behavior can be anything they want so long as its online with "not real people".

Am I making sense?

I am told I’m sanguine so never considered the post might be about me!! 😆😆Maybe if you’d said people should spellcheck what they write before posting it could  be about me. Why no edit button Matthew!?!?!? If you have someone you’re close to who is causing problems online all you can do is talk to them or get someone else to talk to them. Unless they’re breaking the law you can’t do anything else.
