I have aspergers syndrome, or to be less specific autism. I found PlayStation home to be a great tool to use to socialize with people, as in RL it is hard for people of my disability, or any disability for that matter to make friends. Like you, I have been called retarded, in my opinion to call someone retarded is just as bad as calling someone who is African-American the N-word, it a derogatory term used to insult someone who is different and that them being different is a bad thing. A person with a disability can be very intelligent, for example my IQ is 140, which is 20 above the average range: 80-120, you yourself with your disability have shown considerable intelligence and certainly more integrity than the average person. I wasn’t diagnosed properly until age 15 when I tried to kill myself in-front of my geography class and was observed for 2 weeks. since then i have grown so fast, having understood myself more than before, to see how I am different. For all those who don’t know me, I am a member of the homelings as well ^_^ and have found the homelings to be exceptional in comparison to all other groups of people on home.

I really enjoyed your article. The part about using the wrong words disparagingly got me to thinking. I’m really glad you wrote this article.
Farewell!

Go dragon! Glad you wrote. Sorry so late on the comment. I prefer tothink of you as an honest person rather than a disabled one. As you know, my son is autistic, so I cherish the honest side of disability. My son isnt scared to be himself, and thats what makes him special. Just like you. And your a lot of fun to be around. Those who throw the retarded word around are just those who havent experienced the joys of the presence of truely exceptional beings. They are missing out on a side of life free of the falsehoods that make people the ugly creatures that some are. I wouldnt give them the time they didnt deserve in the first place. As you said… Just move on. In the grand scheme of things your enjoying your life, so who cares what they think? Be you. People lose track of the true meaning of home which is fun and games. Its a social world. And juat like in the real world there are those who hate life, and those who love it. Be the latter of the two.

Oh and…. SMACK! Hehehe

As others have said many times and I am in complete agreement; You are a Great Friend, Wonderful Person and Epic Ling. I am lucky to have the pleasure of having you as a true friend. A wise man once said Remember Yesterday, Dream of Tommorow, but Live for Today. Never let the trolls of life destroy your dreams. *bows*

I believe that for every bad person in the world (and on-line) there are two good people, and I would put you in the latter catalog. I hope you write more!

One of the most brilliant aspects of Home is that we are not ourselves as we are in the real world. There are no eyes to look at our bodies, our clothes, our manner of moving or our accents and form biased conclusions on who a person is or what they can do.

This is a uniquely liberating experience, and it seems to bring out two extremes, with most of us somewhere in the middle: Those who are unselfishly and kindly themselves, freed from the fear of vulnerability that sometimes stops us from acting in the real world, and those who deliberately misrepresent themselves with an eye toward being something they believe they cannot be in daily life.

Personally, I’d rather be with the people who are themselves, no matter where they come from or who they are. That shows a deep-rooted confidence in one’s self that’s always a joy to be around.

I’m so glad you came to me that day and said that you wanted to write but needed help with an idea. You took that idea and once again, made everyone that knows you and those that are just meeting you, very humbled.

Congratulations on the publication of your article and thanks to Norse for editing and publishing. You’re one of the people that make Home so welcoming to all of us. *Bows*
