I was just watching some videos on Autism and I found this one of Bill gates rocking back and forth in a business meating.
i never said it has nothing to do with autism.
HAHA ohh stfu already.. fine prove to me rocking has nothing to do with autism.
its one of the many symptoms you can find to diagnose autism
I been demonstrated many times by psychanalists thoses types of paraphrenias can lead often to repressed desire oriented in sexual intercourses with kids.
No more bizarre than anything else on this site.

What does this have to do with "the internet". What a cosmic joke.
Also, why is this on ATS.. ? Bizarre.

But I do feel that there was no crime here, as there were ample opportunities for the babysitters to vet their client.
And this would not happen to me, I have a lot of experience in the caregiver field, and no respectable caregiver would take a job like these babysitters did, without meeting the guardians or parents of the charge.

I am generally open-minded and tolerant towards sexuality and sexual practices.

That being said, I can't help but feel that some of these sexual behaviours and fetishes may stem from emotional trauma, and are perhaps able to be treated by some form of therapy.

To make it simple, norms and rules are essential to keep a system coherent and stable, so if you cant follow the rules, you have to live alone, outside the society.
Believe me i try my best not to be any part of the norm category.. And i dont make a point to be norm. Norm is not my thing, i do not understand it and for all i care it can take a long walk off a short pier.
And who is to say norm is precedent.. Norm is what gives people early heart attacks.. Norm is what defines the term insanity.. Norm is just not right.. If you enjoy conforming to the norm good for you.. Some people are just free thinkers and do not see a point in the norm being good. Besides.. The norm is what got us into the big mess we are in today.. So i dont think highly of the norm in the 1st place.

Uh oh, stipulations don't usually attach themselves to things like "open minded" I mean you are, or you aren't.

Again with the therapy. Are you suggesting that I have a disorder? Could you be more specific...oh and some credentials. Just so I know that your opinion comes from more than an arm chair.

How am I supposed to take this? You are saying that you think I have a mental disorder.
Originally posted by adigregorio
Seriously folks, before making assumptions research. That is if you are really concerend with my mental state, and not just looking to spout opinions.
Regardless, and as I have said (three times now?) this stuff is all "extra" in regards to the topic.

I'm generally open-minded in regards to sexuality and sexual practices, as, like I say, ''whatever floats your boat'' in regards to people's sexual predilections.

However, I'm closed minded towards ''paedophile rights'' campaigners...

There was a case in the UK a few years ago, where a man was convicted of bestiality after ''enticing'' a dog to have sex with him. Some people argued that the dog acted through its own volition, so no abuse of the animal occurred. Again, I am ''closed-minded'' towards the argument that any sex between a man and an animal could be considered legally or morally acceptable.

Originally posted by Sherlock Holmes
It depends on how you want to define ''disorder'' I believe that your behaviour may stem from some traumatic incident or experience in your younger life ( you mightn't even realise or know about these incidents yourself ).
Originally posted by Sherlock Holmes
No, I don't have any piece of paper that could be waved as ''credentials'' on this matter, I'm offering my layman's opinion.

You don't have to have a PhD on a subject to offer a valid opinion about it.
Originally posted by Sherlock Holmes
Observational skills, experience, and an understanding of human nature can go along way in forming an accurate opinion and analysis on these subjects ( not that I'm claiming that I have these abilities in any kind of abundance ).

But your reply shows that you are taking it the wrong way.
Originally posted by Sherlock Holmes
You are perpetuating the stigma that may be attached to any kind of ''mental disorder'', by looking at the implication in a negative way.

I said ''don't take it the wrong way''...

Bear in mind, though, that it was you who volunteered this information in the first place ! It was only natural that you would get some interested responses to follow-up your comments.
Originally posted by Sherlock Holmes
Although, I give you kudos for being open about it in the first place ( if that doesn't sound patronising - and I don't mean it to. ).
