Hi:

I notice this garden has been invaded by the Radium borer. This pest is
spreading far and wide. While not destructive, it is worse than the most
noxious weed I have seen.

Default Asperger's [was Why do ripe fruits - especially when canned - smell bad?]

To Those Who Ca

I would like to give you some information about my disability. The
reason I am posting this message is to help avoid any potential
misunderstandings [though it's probably too late].

I have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). AS is a
neurological condition that causes significant impairment in social
interactions. People with AS see the world differently and this can
often bring them in conflict with conventional ways of thinking. They
have difficulty in reading body language, and interpreting subtle
cues. In my situation, I have significant difficulty with natural
conversation, reading social cues, and maintaining eye contact. This
can lead to a great deal of misunderstanding about my intent or my
behavior. For example, I may not always know what to say in social
situations, so I may look away or may not say anything. I also may not
always respond quickly when asked direct questions, but if given time
I am able express my ideas.

However, it's important to note that Asperger's does not affect the
sense of smell.

On Usenet, the text-equivalent of my disability is probably noticed. I
do apologize profusely, for any inconvenience it causes.

Thank you very much in advance for your understanding, cooperation,
and assistance.


Best Regards,

Radium

No, but it definitely could have something to do with your inability
to accept the sincere answers that have been given you in this thread.

Fruit smells bad only to you. It doesn't smell bad to the rest of us.

Sour fruits don't smell bad. In fact, they smell delicious.

IMHO, there is nothing more appetizing than the fresh, delicious,
heavenly, bright, warm, cool, elastic, vibrating, buzzing, tingly,
rejuvenating, refreshing aroma of sour, organic, natural, pesticide-
free, red-&-green peaches right from the tree.

Compare the above paradise to the stench of yellow, squishy, sugary,
juiceless, starch-like, over-ripe peaches. EWWWWW! Stinky stinky
stinky.

Then just don't eat them for pity sakes!

I don't see what your issue is!

Everybody has individual tastes. Just go with what works for you.

Knowing the "chemical composition" is not going to change anything.

Have them up your meds.

Please.

Om,
remember the story of the tar-baby? The more Br'er Rabbit messed with
it, the worse it got. I think what we got here is a tar-baby. If you is
havin' fun, go ahead on, but if you t'aint, stop messin' wit it.

I want to know the chemical composition so I can use those malodorous
compounds for olfactory-sadomasochistic purposes and to play pranks on
my enemies by making them stink badly like yellow, squishy, sugary,
juiceless, starch-like, over-ripe mangoes, that way no one will go
near them.

Quick Quick. The party is soon!

One of which, as I understand, is social cluelessness causes AS people
to often insult people or **** people off, unintentionally.

However, it's important to note that Asperger's does not affect the
sense of smell.


Actually, it may. AS people often have one or more senses overly
sensitive so something minor irritates them. Often it's something like
tags on clothes, they have to cut them off.

Hi Radium,

I CARE!!!

And congratulations by the way on your diagnosis! The wold of Autism
is not a bad world to live in at all, especially if one values truth,
justice and perceverance in pursuit of excellence in the chosen
field.

Welcome to our world!!! LOL :-))

The more of us know who we are - the less likely we'll stay a
marginalised minority who are easily bullied (and believe me, there
aren't Aspies out thre who haven't been bullied. I personally never
heard of an Aspie bullying someone else. Kill in exasperation as the
last resort - yes! (mainly oneself) But bully - we do not! why can't
people live and let live?

Anyway, for all the differences and "problems", the world of Autism
has its' place and we - Aspies - have the right to live our lives free
from bullying, witch-hunt, discrimination and ostrasizing.

Now, lets focus on the positive and go create something amazing!

Love, Peac & Harmony!

Big thanks for your understanding. Here everyone was thinking I am
mentally ill. Hopefully your expertise will help society understand
those who are different.
