Glorifying Autism is Disgusting

Post Reply New Topic

I was diagnosed with aspergers when I was 13. Before then I was in and out of multiple psychiatric institutions not knowing what was wrong with me. I grew overtime to hate every single other autistic individual I met. You may disregard me as a troll but I have a legitimate reasoning. No other community formed around a mental illness is as boisterous as the autism community.
There are multiple forums dedicated to social anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc... however, none glorify their own illness but instead treat it as something to overcome. I've been told by counselors to explain that I have autism before I meet people, or to embrace my aspergers as a part of who I am instead of as an illness. You, the autistic community, are tolerated solely because society can support you. Inclusion has become a concern to multiple people as well as private and public entities to save face. Autistics as well as anyone else labelled as a victim by society is included in an effort to broaden inclusiveness. Because of this, autistic people are encouraged to expect society to conform to them instead of they themselves conforming to society. However, autism isn't a different way of thinking, it is an illness.
You all depend on neurotypicals in some whether you like it or not. If society were comprised of a majority autistics, it would lead to ruination. Most autistics embrace their symptoms and their quirks and expect others to deal with them or help accommodate them. f**k that, and if it applies to you, f**k you. You are the problem and the reason I can't be taken seriously for admitting my disability. And to anyone who is self diagnosed but barely has any real autistic traits and are instead using the label for sympathy or attention, you are why people doubt autism is a legitimate illness. For years I dealt with my symptoms and struggled to become an independent adult. I only managed to do so out of grueling hard work for years on end. People with high functioning autism don't need coddling, they need to suffer until they appreciate independence and being able to train yourself to maintain a neurotypical appearance. Your eccentricity isn't a positive thing, it's obnoxious and you are a leach unless you figure out how to provide for yourself like everyone else. I hope you all rot. This is my first and last post here.

Mods please ignore the reports. I think we're all good here.

That's kind of mean. I've tried my whole life to fit in with regular people and failed. It's made me miserable. I'm always trying to find ways to try to get along in this world despite my differences. I'm trying to learn why I am this way, why others find me difficult to get along with, why I have so much trouble doing things others find so easy, and find workarounds so I can be happy and support myself.

Sometimes it's just nice to find somebody that thinks in a similar manner, who can understand you, and doesn't think you're a freak just because you are different. That's why I'm here. I'm really not happy to be different. It's ruined my life.

Actually I earn my living presuming my own complete obliviousness until such time as I can determine otherwise. I find your exaltation of your infinitesimal petty struggles disgusting. Feel free to showcase your work inb4 IP bans.

Also good luck with your habit of sparring with hackers.

You have the right to your opinion but I think you'll find that's not a popular opinion around here and deliberately trying to antagonize folks probably won't achieve much.

Just friendly advice. I'm a nice guy so I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, forkbombing belligerent hoi poloi would be a waste of energy.

Delusional is relative.

Probably no one does care about my problems but that's not really any different from real life. It's better to try than to do nothing and feel sorry for myself. Or kill myself, do drugs, etc.

wow! You have a lot of angst. Please continue to write if it makes you feel better. I have autism; it is part of my diagnosis too. I don't think anybody would truly want to have any kind of mental or physical ailment. However, for one to strive to overcome such difficulties and to compensate for them is amazing no matter what the diagnosis. I am hoping you have somebody who can help you work through your angst. I don't think anybody here is looking for sympathy. They are just telling their experiences with their illness. I feel for your situation. I was angry too for awhile and realized that anger only goes so far. If you can turn your anger into something constructive, I am sure you would go very far in your life. You have a lot to offer others. Please don't waste your life on being angry. Please take care!

I'm always improving myself. I always have a goal or goal I'm working towards or I feel lost. I'm always learning new things and trying to improve myself. Otherwise life is pointless. I love having a project to work on. Going to school and looking for a job currently.
