Yes...YES! This! This is what I dreamt of as a child! People who felt the same pain as me, coming together and rising up against the corruption! People who know what the better cause is and uniting as one to fight for it! I never got the chance to have this in school; it was me and me alone fighting the battles that chose me... And now, twelve years later, my wish is finally granted!
We cannot let this fire of justice burn out. Let us take a stand against any kind of naysayer or wrongdoer that dares to cross us with disbelief! Let's begin the uprising!
The Aspergers Uprising!
I know how you feel and I'm glad you feel a fellowship here. Once I found how welcoming and understanding people are here, I stopped looking for other forums.
I don't know about an uprising, but would you be happy with an ever-increasing safe space?
My wife and I made our home a place where our children know they belong and know they are loved.
I taught my children that I will be more proud of how they treat others than of their grades. Each of my children has reached out and become a friend to someone who needs one at least once.
We made friends with our neighbors and now all the kids on our street play together. There have been instances of bullying, and we have intervened and worked it out with the parents.
My wife ran the PTO for several years. She also helped make junior high a safer place when my son got picked on.
Great changes can come step-by-step, a little at a time. The first step is to get yourself in a good place. Then, you can start helping others.
