I was thinking 12.

Okay. Answer time.
(No, I am not 12. I am, in fact, a 20 year old female, and I'll be 21 on the 27th.)

Never been in a relationship never wanted to be in one:
This is true. Apparently, part of having Aspergers (except it's called Autism Spectrum Disorder now) is having little interest in relationships. Also, I just generally hate people.

Never had coffee:
This is true. I love the smell of coffee beans but the smell of brewed coffee is something I hate so bad I could never drink it.

Never had alcohol:
This is true. I'm not old enough to drink. I will be soon, but I won't drink then either. The thought of potentially getting drunk or even tipsy is enough to steer me away from alcohol altogether. Plus, I have some prescriptions I take that I may not want to drink with.

Never had surgery:
This is the lie! And it's a big one! I had a full spinal fusion to correct severe scoliosis when I was 13. It was terrible. They did a horrible job so it got infected badly enough that pus was coming out of my body and I passed out one morning and when I went to the ER, they turned me away, and my mom and a nurse practically carried me out, I puked up about a liter of foaming bile. They admitted me to the hospital and had to perform a second surgery to clean up my insides. That was 2 years of my life I'll never get back.

Never driven a car:
Also true. I want to drive, but I'm a late bloomer for several reasons, anxiety is one of them.

Most of you got it!

Never had a relationship: Me either, though I've always wanted one. I think once things settle down from this virus stuff I might give one final attempt before just calling it quits.

Coffee: I very much dislike coffee, but I've had it before. Have to add lots of cream and sugar though, so it's just easier and more enjoyable to have a soda instead.

Alcohol: I've never drank anything either. I did have a sip of beer when I was young and my dad and uncle made me taste it. That's all.

Surgery: Had several surgeries. One major one.

Driving: I had severe anxiety over driving due to a horrible car accident when I was a kid. Took a very long time until I was comfortable driving. Now it's mostly no issue, but I do still have an occasional panic attack from it.

I mean being as this is now a 'true or false' topic I'll play along.

I've never been in a relationship, I've never even wanted to be in one
Technically not true as I have had 'gfs' when I were a kid however I wouldn't really call them a relationships. Do I want a relationship? One day sure but don't want one right now.

I've never had a cup of coffee
False

I've never had an alcoholic beverage
False

I've never had any kind of surgery, even a minor one like a tonsillectomy or wisdom tooth removal
False

I've never driven a car
True. No need for one at this point.

I like where this is going.

Oh. So its like that game Two truths and a lie. But in this case, its Four truths and a lie. Isnt this suppose to be a drinking game, though?

I agree. It was in the poll question, but the topic title was misleading...

Why am I not surprised you think keurig coffee is better than other coffee?

Where did I say that? I said I have a Keurig. I never said Keurig coffee was better. Its the same as every other coffee. Please dont put words in my mouth.

That's how you worded it. Maybe you should have said something like, "but I don't use it for coffee".

I do use it for coffee, though. I dont like coffee that much. But they are some that I will drink. Not many, though. The ones I do drink, I have to add lots of sugar and creamer, though. So, that would be a lie if I said I didnt use it for coffee. I could say I use it for other things more, though...

This topic rose from the grave

That thing about people with ASD having no interest in relationships is an inaccurate generalisation. I'm autistic and I'm also polyamorous, for goodness' sake. It is not a given.

Calm down bro. ASD, like many things, manifests differently between people. Two people with it can display both similar and different traits. Lack of interest in relationships can be part of it, I've heard of other people like that too, but I never said it's like that for everybody. You're getting mad defensive so just chill. Seriously.

---

Driven...but never owned a car, lifestyle choice.

I live in a major city, and used public transportation....

Even as a 6 figure earner, I have people laugh at me for not owning a car. So they say "I love having a car, I get so much personal freedom. Why don't you?" And I tell them, "Yeah, but I go Cabo, DR, and Rio at least once a year...that's my freedom."....

Hardly. You just admitted that it isn't like that for everyone with ASD, but your first post suggested very much otherwise. If you come out with something like that, you can't play surprised when someone gets p'd off at you.

Well I'm sorry that's what I implied to you, I didn't mean it that way. You're getting way too mad and easily offended over something so small and unintended. The whole "you are not accurately representing ASD" tangent to somebody who also has ASD just proves how little you care to think about how people can be different. My God dude, I never said what you're pissed about, you just misinterpreted what I said, and maybe that's my fault and if that's the case then fine I'll accept it, but there's no need to get triggered like you did.

I'm not going to play bullshit if you're going to act like a snowflake (makin us look bad dude, cut it out). Feel free to express your opinions in a respectably heated manner (because we all get passionate when expressing ourselves and I get that) but keep being a raging donkey and I'll close this topic and you'll have to find somewhere else to rant.

So -- I'm sorry you got offended. I now understand that I could have phrased things better. I get you get mad, maybe people have given you Hell that I don't know about, and I'm sorry if that's the case because I've been treated like shit too. I'm also happy that you can pull of a polyamorous relationship, sounds tough but if it works for you then cool. Hopefully now we can move on and stop flinging shit at each-other like a couple of fucking monkeys, yeah man?

Let's just both try to calm down now

tbf this is pretty much a generalization line

and the constant "Wow you're mad, stop being so mad, calm down bruuuhh" is a pretty pathetic deflection technique.

Unbiased third party comes in and so speaks what must be the truth. Sometimes I imply something I don't mean to by accident. I just got mad because he/she got mad and I didn't realize what I did because, again, I didn't mean to imply anything.

In hindsight, what I should have said was "...apparently, part of ASD can be lack of interest..." -- just fucked it up by mistake.

My bad. Truly didn't mean it that way. Sorry for being a bitch :\
