Haven't made on the road quite yet as there some Earthquake related issues with our house to sort out before we sell. We think in 6 months time a bit fustrating but never mind.
 
Some people can be very rude.I myself have a disability.I have a learning disability.Takes me a bit longer to figure things out and to understand stuff.People make fun of me all the time.But i try to not let it bother me.Congrats on being very brave.:)

Yes many of the releases are named around the idea of food like cream and Bork and Chicken wings. Simple installer.

A friendly community. Some of the names of releases are a bit rude so if anyone is easily offended then this probably isn't the distro for you.

I'm sorry about that, good sir..... :< Some people CAN be mean, as I've witnessed, and I'm sure we ALL know what that's like....... :( But to be honest, it shouldn't matter how LONG it takes one to learn something..... :) Thank you, btw..... :3

So my question is this:

Why do people make fun of others with Dissabilities, but they end up being incredibly talented in a particular area.....? I see people who also have some form of Autism, and they often seem to have a particular thing that they're immsensely passionate about..... They call some of us Savants..... :) I never actually think of myself as smart, even though my passion for Computers sometimes awes people who know little about them..... :) But, people such as Mozart, I believe, may not KNOW a lot about their favorite thing, but, being a Savant, seemed to learn it quite QUICKLY...... Or maybe I'm over-thinking it..... : D Anyway, I want to invent an Free and Open Source Application for Hospitals everywhere that will benefit the WORLD..... :3 When the time comes, and it WILL, it would be cool if my friends here at Linux would help me out..... :)

People make fun of others with disabilities for many reasons, usually because they're different. Having Aspergers, I have been antagonized, sometimes because of my social inadequacy, other times because of my skills in the digital realm (Especially with Mac OS.) Many sources say that low self-esteem can contribute to bullying, and I think this is true, most people who bully me seem to be unsure of themselves.

I know quite a few people who are Autistic, and many of them have been called Savants. They're absolutely brilliant, putting the work of my teachers to shame! I'm somewhat similar to you, where I think of myself as around average but others think otherwise. You're not over-thinking it, Savants don't need to know a lot about their favorite thing, they just happen to be able to learn it quickly. (I never thought of Mozart as a Savant. Then again, I knew little about them until recently.)

Inventing an application or program like that will take a large amount of time, effort, and skill, but it can be done. I suggest forming a team, it'll increase the overall quality, speed, and efficiency of the application. (Try opening a Kickstarter account once you have the resources and the team, it'll be a good way to fund your project.)

Anyways, it's a good cause and I'd love to help. I don't have nearly enough skill right now, but in a few years, I'll be able to help out with more complex programs and applications.

Go Man!!!:):)
 
My son is Autistic also, he is at the Asperger's end of the spectrum. The opening line of your thread is exactly why I am starting homeschooling next year.

Sucks for THEM..... :D I'm TERRIBLE with schedules imposed by others, and with full-time positions....... :) I'm just happy doin' my OWN thing, helping people put Linux on Computers for a small fee, or directing them to online resources if they want to do it themselves, and helping out on here.... :D I'll NEVER betray the FOSS community, Sempai!!..... ^^ :3

Really.....? I'm on that end of the spectrum too..... :) But, aren't there any Schools where the people are nicer.....? I remember when, in my Elementary (OS) years, some of my teachers were mean to me..... :( One time, during Recess, a Monitor threatened to break my arm if I didn't stop complaining about it hurting..... o_O My Mom threatened to kick her ASCII when no one was around..... :D She also got her fired, I believe..... :D Also, far be it from me to know how to Parent, but if you DO get him Home Schooled, make sure to get him involved in a Dojo, to learn Martial Arts!..... :) I did, and still train to this DAY..... :) Or you could get him involved in somethin' else..... :3
