late hatched Autist invader on the Wet Coast of Canada, child of the 60s and believed it all. The Hatching is sprinkled through both blogs, and the theory starts with spanking in 2014 and evolves to what, I guess The Antisocialization Theory of Neurodiversity or something by now - but don't try to read it all, it's a mess. Just ask me.

people WERE frustrating, but this is getting ridiculous.
Y'all, really. Unfortunately, it's a bit of an ever changing group.
.
Also I have a lot of imaginary, Walter Mitty type shit in my head at all times, fantasy conversations with whoever I'm currently trying to sing, or seeing on TV, imagining how I might speak to some person I may know something about because everybody does.
.
I mean, real conversations with real people are frustrating. 🙄

@actuallyautistic How do y’all deal with people who say that autism doesn’t even exist, and that it “suddenly” cropped up over the past few generations because people have been “mentally coddled”? Somewhat in the same vein as “there is a diagnosis epidemic” but much more extreme.

I would beat them into submission with a long infodump proving to them the truth of the matter, that Allism is the new thing in the world, the epidemic, and what is destroying the world.
.
In fact I'm always doing that and I'm doing it now. 😈

You can't play D with aggression, they won't stop until you give them a reason to stop, like hurting their feelings 😂

explain to them that because they are limited in their Neurotype's abilities, they think everything is "coddled," until it's been tortured to death 🤮

Hmmm, let's see . . .
.
I couldn't say where she's comin' from but I just met a lady named Tylenol Mom 😀
.
She strolled on over, said, Look here, Son, I got a forty dollar bill says you ain't been here long.
It's a thing we all intuit. 😈
.
Now, it irked me a bit that she called me "son," but I knew right away she was sure I was gonna run.
Instead I got down to it.
.
I talked and talked till my tongue got numb but I still didn't reach no Tylenol Mom.
.
Tylenol Mom, Tylenol Mom, where is this mother comin' from?
I done spent three hours and I ain't got got a crumb from this Tylenol, Tylenol, Tylenol, from this Tylenol Mom. 😘

@actuallyautistic It really bothers me when I tell my friends or family about something that upset me, or an incident that made me feel embarrassed/humiliated and they respond in a way that makes me feel even more upset, embarrassed, and humiliated. Things like “how did you even do that? 😂” or “that’s not even a big deal” don’t help and make me feel even worse. It feels a bit like clapping at a waiter/waitress when they drop a plate.

I mean, I know it's not likely something they are going to grok intuitively, I know it's not how they would think about that situation or feel about it, so I try to create the context for them, like, "See, I'm weird, I worry about X (unknown thing), so when Y happens, it means Z to me" - and . . . nuthin'. Like I never said any of it.
.
Record scratch.
"ANYway," somebody says and they carry on. 😈

I had lost it all before I realized that when normal people say, "I don't understand you," that is not beginning a conversation, it is ending one. They're telling us they've already given it all the effort they are going to.
.
Never mind that it's the first thing after, "Hello," practically. 💔

@actuallyautistic I’m in shock right now and feel like I could burst into tears…my parents and I are out at lunch, and my mom just asked me out of the blue, “what gives you joy?” And I said, “why are you asking me that?” She essentially responded by telling me that to her, I showed no evidence that I had any joy in my life, and that there is nothing that makes me happy.

I’m at a loss for words.

Why does New York state hate kids?

Do you care?

@AOC D-NY... This is your state.
No investigation?

@RepThomasMassie R-KY, @BriscoeCain R-TX, @RepBenham D-PA, @yuhline D-NY...

We are your people.
Protect us.
