Hello there!

Hi I’m the founder Claritas, a Catholic group by Autistic people for Autistic people. I’m here to gain help and advice to promote Autism Acceptance and expand and develop my group within the Catholic Church; as well as gain help and advice in regards to my own personal life to help nurture the positive aspects of being Autistic, while mitigating the negative aspects.
Prior to founding this group I first hung-out on Wrong Planet, and I imagine most of you can guess how that turned-out; after that I went onto Autism Forums and really enjoyed it and ultimately got inspired to found this group and look for ways to promote Autism Acceptance. Autism Forums used to be one of my, if not my, favourite forum sites, but something happened back in, I think it was February or maybe March that resulted in me indirectly being accused of something and having my reputation damaged, and from then on it’s been downhill ever since. Too be fair I’ve not been handling this in the best manner, I struggle a lot with anger issues and the like, but the people on there are also, not totally innocent and one guy in particular, I wouldn’t accuse him of being a bully, but the last thing he did which was like a week or two ago was quite, bully-ish. But ultimately I hope & pray things can go back to the way they were before, I hope to work on improving and repairing things when I return.
In my personal life I’m hoping to become a farmer, I really want a stable job and independent life, and the farming job fits both of those categories perfectly. I can’t find farmland here and am also having a hard time finding employment in general, so I’m trying to move down to Chile, where my family owns farmland I could work on, though I’m struggling a lot with delays and the like. I’m also interested in writing and am working on a few literary ideas but right now they’re on hold until I can move to Chile. Ultimately I want to own my own farmland, marry an Autistic woman and have many Autistic kids with her, I hope and pray that becomes a reality one day.
Anyways nice meeting you all, I’ve gotta go have lunch now since I’m overdue for it, I look forward to getting to know you folk, thanks!

I'm not a catholic myself (although my mother was ) I'm always up for a good Bible discussion though.
There were a couple of catholic poster on WP if I remember ,not sure if your one I remember.I was vermontsavant on WP I don't know if you remember or maybe not,it doesn't matter.
Welcome to Neurovoice my friend!
WP turned out pretty bad for me too, mostly due to failure to satisfy my privacy on request. That in general is important to me, and at the time it was even more vital. It was a grander failure than I had expected, sometimes I can be gullible and carefree.
As far as religion goes, as a skeptic position holder, and religious indoctrination survivor, I will do my best to bring notice to any fallacies of faith and unreasonable motives for indoctrination, if such a thing can be discussed here.
In terms of children as dreams, and women as satisfaction, I find that to be selfish and unrealistic, particularly if the people involved are autistic. I think romanticizing it could be a turn-off for most mature experienced women. Although faking is much worse.
There are plenty of positive sides to Autism, mostly that have a double edge, downsides in society and life. But we can love ourselves and our autism.
Farming is beautiful, keeps you in touch with nature and occupied in real life which is healthy and positive in general and you can be your own boss. Some plants are very difficult to grow, but it's a fun rewarding activity even as learning goes. Pests, disease but with the right conditions, time and dedication any plant can be nurtured. And understanding animals in terms of mentality proves to be a feat very few people can take on and correctly read.
Wish you an easy progress, welcome to the forum.
I'll still be on here though, in fact I'm thinking of share some of the stories I've been working on, there's one book particular that I've been making progress with and I want to share the first chapter once I've cleaned things up with it.
Your child-like fun and carefree focused personality made me understand that you are not fast to judge, are open minded and mature as well as easy-going, not stuck-up. From that assessment there's still a little gap on your knowledge which you also reject without having researched and I never expected that from you as a skeptic, like Baba Brinkman says "A skeptic without the ability to analyze is just as bad as a theist cause they'll probably believe a lie, Just as long as it verifies his biases, applying to his knowledge pool and diving in" but we're all gullible humans after all; and emotional selfishness with your pets which if it ever translates to me I will have to keep in mind to make sure you're not fulfilling your emotional needs under the belief they're actually mine too. *Wink*
Thankfully unlike pets I can speak for myself and you tend to listen to me and understand humans.
I'm glad you didn't post it just yet, that's good thinking. I'm enjoying our conversations and I didn't yet build the ability to post links lol.
My genetic material is horrifying with diseases of all kinds, besides the fact I wouldn't be able to care for a child, I would save a soul and adopt if I could instead of selfishly reproducing and spreading genes like in a game of animal egg production. Luckily Sheldon doesn't want children either and cringes at the idea of humans suffering.
But sadly the IQ is dropping due to the genetic pool available for breeding, not surprisingly the less gifted have taken the lead at breeding. Don't sleep with the mean and dumb would be a good rule of thumb when humans are messing with the Blue Planet's genetic pool, but people will manipulate each other so that's not easy.
The more intellectual person isn't consumed with the desire to breed as much, statistically so that affects the future of the humankind. I would go even further and say the world and society is not built for the intelligent as much.
Nature can be its own biggest enemy sometimes. It assumed survival of the species is superior to breeding horrible human beings, and that by doing that it will ensure its survival regardless of crisis, because it could adapt. It doesn't know any better than to choose the humans who are good at getting laid.
Many people reflect on the fact they didn't ask to be brought into existence in such a messed up world.
In today's societies we can easier see the prevalence of developments or lack thereof, of the primal and instinctual theocracies. The way a political regime can force an entire country into self deprecating and kills its members for their disobedience. Women used to kill themselves in my country when the far left was denying the right to a huge health concern, abortion, and were illegally doing it anyway like grandma besides being outnumbered by the number of their children in their care, also like grandma. The human brain is so eronated, that was a psychopath taking leadership. Country's military had to eventually kill him as he went too far and their loyalties were with the people.
The pope would have to do much better in understanding history, politics, psychology, nature and humanity to be convincing me.

On a loosely related note, have you seen the prologue and chapter 1 of the novel I'm working on, I posted it on here; what are your thoughts on it?
Of course I am among those kinds of people.
