    My public complaint because some people with ASD have "lost"

    You are right, I cannot force people to share my enthusiasm, but I sure can try! What is wrong with that? It makes me feel better about myself! I enjoy working on my project, because it gives me a sense of purpose--to try to improve society. I am proud of my autistic qualities. Yes, you are...

    My public complaint because some people with ASD have "lost"

    That is one of the troubling aspects of my outreach. People think that because this is old technology, it is not useful. This paradigm is simply wrong. I am anxious for appointments to discuss this because people do not know how much fun and challenging Morse can be for some people unless and...

    My public complaint because some people with ASD have "lost"

    Okay. I guess that I should have told everyone before I posted that I am not emailing MIND Institute or UC-Davis anymore. After a year or longer, I gave up with them and then posted my comments about them here in an effort to "vent". They are in Sacramento, where I live and it would be easy...

    My public complaint because some people with ASD have "lost"

    We know that people with autism act impulsively-these comments reflect that. We know that people with autism are also single minded and extremely focused on their interest area--these comments reflect that. We know that autistic people can have "meltdowns" if they become extremely frustrated. I...

    My public complaint because some people with ASD have "lost"

    Yes,this is and should be "not about me". But, also, dedicated and progressive and caring subject matter experts would want to network with me anyway, at least for an hour. They would realize that I am simply "acting out", realize that this is normal human behavior and overlook these comments...

    My public complaint because some people with ASD have "lost"

    I am aware of this. Your thoughts are correct. It is normal for angry and frustrated people to "vent" verbally. I am glad that my comments are public, after a year or more of correspondence with them, I knew that this would be counter productive.

    My public complaint because some people with ASD have "lost"

    My autism is talking, I simply do not want to give up. But, it is okay when I reflect on all the blessings I have.

    My public complaint because some people with ASD have "lost"

    Well stated. I am frankly puzzled why they will not give a person with ASD an hour of their time. I agree with you that I have no respect for UC- DAVIS.

    My public complaint because some people with ASD have "lost"

    Yes, you would likely love Morse. I have three videos on Youtube related to Morse. Search for "Duane Wyatt's home amateur radio station" on the YouTube website. I am excited because the Northern California Shriners hospital school staff are starting an amateur radio and Morse practice program...

    My public complaint because some people with ASD have "lost"

    Yes, in some aspects I agree withyou. I am upset with MIND INSTITUTE staff because my state tax dollars are paying their salaries. I have been trying to discuss this with subject matter experts for over twenty years now. I only seek an hour of their time, but this far, only two university autism...

    My public complaint because some people with ASD have "lost"

    Hello: I have autism and major depression. For 53 years now, communication by Morse code has been my coping mechanism with life. There are lots of people to talk to using Morse over the shortwave radio bands. If I get stressed, a short session sending Morse with my Morse "bug" or iambic paddles...

    Why are people so dumb?

    The information in these postings are way above my IQ level. I don't understand the meaning of the postings.

    Was it me or was it not me or was it both?!

    I somewhat relate to that Suzanne. I was at my wife's family reunion. I spent the day in a corner recliner with my eyes closed, wishing I was back home. My mother in law came up to me and asked me what was wrong with me, why I don't socialize with people. I went out to the patio but became angry...
