Autistic People?

I can relate to you, Esperante. I was actually diagnosed with high-functioning Asperger's Disorder, and find that I exhibit the tendency to sing at random during races, essentially similar to your noisemaking. Where I live and go to college, I know that a lot of people are actually accepting of people with ASD, and there are actually a lot of places which accommodates such people. I can understand that some people can be annoyed at some of the behaviors that those with ASD, possess, but a lot of people I know (me being a Canadian) are willing to give empathy to them because of the fact that there's little they can do about it. It's a shame that there are large populations, such as many parts of the US, that often treat ASDers as social outcasts and whatnot, considering the fact that they have so many talents in their own right.

I hope that didn't sound preachy or condescending, just figured I'd give my own two cents and let you know that you're not alone in this.

Your best bet is to (as you did now) be open about it. For non-autistic people, it's often very hard to recognize the difference between smt like Asp. and a plain annoying cunt.
And, like hotwheelsepic mentioned, don't expect everybody to like you, or treat you differently just because you have some disorder. People (esp. those keyboard-warriors) are generally cruel, and will only give you more shit if you start to show you're feeling sorry about yourself or expect "special" treatment.

If there would ever be any serious issues about this between you and other members, don't hesitate to contact one of the Commissioners.

One of my best friends are diagnosed with a weak (what ever weak means) asperger and you wouldn't have guessed it if you don't know. He have been a part of the same friend group as me since high school and there have never been any issues.

My roomie often come home complaining about her annoying fellow students and how some of them have a hard time getting along socially. One of them told that he had asperger a few months after study start and no one have issues with him anymore. She told me that the biggest annoyance came from not understanding why he was acting as he was rather than the fact that he was. So my biggest advise is to be confident and be honest about who you are.

Very well put!
I have to concur, if you just let people know, every reasonable person should understand and if not then you at least know where you stand, I suppose.

For my personal education: since you seem to be aware of these tendencies to make noises or sing, can you stop when someone directs your attention to it? I'm just wondering whether you should give someone with autism (or a disorder in that spectrum) a heads up when they make whichever sounds or will that not help?

I understand that some disorders affect speech so I won't blame someone for making involuntary sounds. It also won't mean that I'll stop racing with them for that reason. I think it's a pretty obvious conclusion and the absolute absolute worst case scenario would be that I'd mute you if I really can't concentrate or something (which I also do to people with the worst of all microphones). Hopefully that answers your question OP!
