| Hi me again Sorry for all the thinking out loud. I'm not sorry enough though; here's some more. I'd like to suggest that Mentals also have an underlying vulnerability that makes them more susceptable to Mental Illness, like Auties. I'd like the Neurodiversity movement to accept Mental Illness as par... |

Okay yeah I see. Perception of being Mentally capable.
Hey, I found some stuff finally.
It's called the Consumer/ Survivor/ Ex patient movement. There's a recovery movement, which obviously misses my point.
Still looking around.
Thanks for the input guys! |

Yes, yes I have. If you find anything self-organised, let me know.
Thanks for failing to even attempt to understand what i'm trying to say in any way. |

| I guess i'm talking about 'will + attitude' (i've been reading that other post) in terms of the mentally ill. I think it's awesome that there are so many ways of 'getting around' some of the issues with having ASD. I don't see a similar focus on the issues that the mentally ill have. It's take your ... |

| Okay Pervasive vs Acute Personality disorders are pretty pervasive, and scizophrenics generally are not functional day to day, it's only the psychosis that is acute. Actually in more mild instances of say Borderline Personality Disorder, the disruptive behaviors are most of the time no worse than t... |

| Actually Acute attacks of behaviour that actually makes you feel better vs. Acute attacks of unwanted behaviour * maybe mentals are just less honest about tantrums making you feel better, cos they are more aware its so socially unacceptable.

| Hi Why is it so acceptable for Autistics to behave in a certain "socially unacceptable" way, and therefore be self accepting; but for the Mentally Ill, there is no understanding, or acceptance - they must change - , or self-organised movement, or ads to get funding for research and educational progr... |

| Merdienne I find what you've posted pretty interesting. True everyones different but I'm just confused as to why they're so different to us. Like how do they see the hidden rules of socialising which to us are clearly hidden. Why are they always in a hurry to get things done yet when they get it do... |

| I think they're all different. Pretty stressed (GFC etc.), occasionally depressed/ happy. I don't really know any normal people very well. They're generally only one of OCD OR depressed OR sick etc etc, if unwell. They're busy and take time to relax at the weekend. They watch crappy reality tv shows... |

4th corner: Autism + empath.
