@Terra@chaosfem.tw @Impossible_PhD My suggestion is that there is nothing wrong with autistic people, but awareness for them is some half-hearted effort that would need to go much further. The problems i see, they affect everyone. Everyone is masking, everyone is suffering.
If someone is suffering more because they are more sensitive, OF COURSE they should get special attention. But the problem in itself is society, noting wrong with anyone autistic. Just normal people more sensitive than average. Being sensitive is good. "able to sense".
Really, nothing i ever heard about autism was ever strange, just antisocial behaviour by others that needs to be dealt with. Living is exhausting, and i am neither diagnosed nor think i would be if i went to a doctor.
Stop humans from being dicks to each other.
@admitsWrongIfProven I am strongly reminded of all the trans girls who are astonished to learn that men do not actually harbour secret desires to be women. Have you ever considered that descriptions of how autistic people experience the world might seem unremarkable to you because you are, perhaps, an undiagnosed autistic yourself?
@AnCuRuadh @Terra@chaosfem.tw @Impossible_PhD Like i said, i do not think i would be diagnosed.
Everything ever described to me seems reasonable. Trying to frame it in "that is autism" would seem dismissive to me - the feelings described are just what everyone feels. Just that most people do not have the confidence to admit that. No wonder, confessing your feelings gets you clobbered, usually. I did learn that, as a neurotypical, and learned to brush off uncertaintiy. Makes life easier.
@admitsWrongIfProven >the feelings described are just what everyone feels.
No. No they are not.
@AnCuRuadh I dare you to find a non-billionaire that has no emotions!
@AnCuRuadh I am pretty sure that the few people hoarding most of humanities riches are causing most of the problems we face in everyday life.
Btw, i really appreciate your way of conducting conversations. Very focussed, productive.
Anyway, everything i heard about autism is something that neurotypical people experience too. Possibly not as strong, possibly they dismiss the problem as they were taught to - which does not make it better!
I was asking what is different, i have not seen anything actually different. Anything i saw as a problem was something that would be a problem for any human.
They are being dicks. Don't revert back into a diagnosis. They hurt all of us, let us push back together. The world should be livable for all human beings, next we should make it livable for animals. Everything else is just evil people trying to divide us.
@AnCuRuadh Exactly what i was asking about. What are the differences?
@admitsWrongIfProven Try asking a neurotypical person how their experiences differ from yours. I don't engage with bad faith arguments or the people who make them. ![]()
@admitsWrongIfProven >Anyway, everything i heard about autism is something that neurotypical people experience too.
This is untrue. I can tell you that from personal experience. There are very distinct and obvious differences.
