Rants
Autism and helpless with severe GDD?
Autism and severe dyspraxia with other whatever more labels starts with dys-, served with cocktails of meds?
Autism and severe ADHD with no apparent body control or seizures?
Autism and aphasia with some messed up various forms of health issues?
Autism and more behavioral crap with no apparent language ability?
Autism and nonverbal with 1000++ everyday triggers and hours of unbroken stimming?
Autism and something-something cannot be worked around, cannot remedied, cannot be put to use other than trapping someone in their unreliable bodies and senses and chaos and mental cycles and emotional messes???
Whut? WHUUUT?!
Everyone is just as fricking stressed about something.
Also WTH do you all mean by 'easy autism'???
Autism and work-aroundables and compensations and redeeming crap???
Autism and whatever it is manageable to be put under the rug?
Autism and suck it all up let's pretend it does not exist because people don't wanna deal with it??
Autism and appearing pretty and smart, "meh, am sure this one doesn't get lost in the hallway without crying"???
Autism and budget cuts cause you're on your own grow up???
Dear Science,
Solve this. Properly. Without bias. Without the dehumanized crap. Without the one-sided crap because all stories are valid.
Thank you. Because screw priorities, screw fundings, screw politics, screw whatever crap in the whole autism community is competing one another about.
Sincerely,
an impatient "patient".
*I can disregard autism as a label, as a stance, even as an identity -- I can take it for what it is in a complete dot.
Others don't. Or can't. And thought they do when it's not -- in which I may fall over such phase from time to time. That's what truly bothers me.
Everyone wants their fulfillments. And everyone wants their peace.
PS - Or not.
Because most of these thoughts and concerns got nothing to do with my life at all*.
And it's best that I get my mind out off the gutter so to speak. Really, thoughts like these are a headache.
Just like any recursive thoughts that are just as unpleasant and remained unresolved constantly nagged by loud and incessant conscience.
I thought statements like, "Once you have met one person with autism; you have met one person with autism!" and that thing about autism being a "Spectrum Condition" had already solved all that stuff as is like saying that red is more of a 'colour' than yellow or blue is. When people talk or write about how severe their autism is they may not have considered that they have more severe traits and or also more severe 'Co-morbid' conditions perhaps?

Yes.
Sometimes I wish they consider such thoughts and be done with it.
If 'HFA' cases could consider theirs, why not 'LFA' as well? How is that fair?
But apparently, people are more interested with invalidating one another. Upping one another. Excluding one another.
Than considering as much as people can be the same for being within the spectrum, they're also very very different!
Even science made others seem invalidated in one form or another.
Yet who am I to judge how 'easy' a person's life is? Who am I to expect any better from others?
Who are they to judge how one 'had it easier' others' lives are?
And again, who the heck am I to think of such thoughts about humans dealing with living their pathethic lives?
Why even bother in the first place? Lol.

Well if higher functioning is considered to relate to high social cognition as in being a more adept at Theory of Mind, it is not a question of being fair but more of not being informed or aware of the complexities that are involved with social interaction, communication and imagination impairments, and black-and-white and all-or-nothing thinking.
Well given that the neurologically divergent experience more domineering and negatory attitudes socially than facilitatory and affirmative ones ~ as compared to the neurologically typical, it is hardly surprising that domineering and negatory communications are more than likely in at least some cases.
Definitely. No person can ever be in the exact same position at the exact same time as any other person in the space and time continuum, so we each without exception have as such a completely unique perspective, and in that the harmonic frequency of life is always increasing, new levels of experiential awareness are always in evolutionary terms developing more efficiently; even when regressions are occurring less efficiently.
I think that is more how people perceive and relate with scientific data as some treat new discoveries as being in the past sense a final answer ~ rather than what is being discovered in the present sense as an ongoing mystery. I mean the theory used to be in biology that having particular genetic combinations produced whichever neurological and biological condition, whereas each biological condition actually depends upon the environmental conditions that facilitate the outcome of particular genetic combinations.
This sort of behaviour is referred to as a Parental (or Authoritarian) Role Transfer, as involves having been inappropriately ordered to understand as a child what children can only comprehend at more mature stage of life, rather than someone providing a more mature explanation about the difficulties involved with childcare and what assistance would have been very much appreciated in an affirmative way ~ but of course; as stated above ~ domineering and negatory methodologies have often been more usually the case, which were unbefitting then and hence thereafter people transferring them over to others.
I think it is better to exemplify it or just do it oneself than to wait for it perhaps? If for instance you are waiting for something in particular to improve you might miss other things improving.
They are portraying themselves according to their socially fostered and personally adopted roles in the great sociological pretence of being inferior, mediocre or superior to others.
Why even bother in the first place? Lol.
Exactly ~ why pretend to be yourself as much privately as opposed to yourself also publicly when you are actually the much greater mystery inbetween?

There is the physiological self as generally more associated with in public, the psychological self as generally more associated with in private, and the conscious self as the majority are disassociated from on account of pretending to be more inferior, mediocre or superior than others ~ hence the conscious self being the greater mystery beyond the sum of human reasoning or judgement.

I see.
And I myself had always been aware of being torn into two or more, which had been that way my whole life.
It's tiring and confusing.
Can't anyone or at least myself get over with it?
After all, several issues and 'realities' that exists elsewhere and in this forum... Do not exist in my real life.

Well we have seven sensibilities (rational, sentimental, communicational, emotional, imaginal, reproductional and sensational) which operate receptively, protectively and projectively, as which due to birth trauma, parental separation anxiety and other shocks to the system ~ fragment our psychological and physiological systems into Child, Parent and Adult states of mind.
Child states of mind or ego-states are those that involve childhood behaviourisms that were obstructed by behaviourisms that were socially fostered and personally adopted as Parent states of mind or ego-states, that may be exact or adapted in terms of being behaviourally represented. Adult states of mind involve your experiential awareness in the present time and space ~ as is most relevant for integrating with the conscious self by way of balancing the Child and Parent ego-states, which are essentially like a younger sibling getting hassled to do this, that and another by an older sibling who has been left in charge, or vice-versa with the younger sibling having taken charge ~ so adult mediation is required either way. The Adult state of mind is more often than not somewhat obstructed but not though underdeveloped. It is at it were the most powerful muscle in the psychological and physiological anatomy, so learn to use it progressively ~ a little bit at a time.
Maybe check out the following book TA Today: A New Introduction to Transactional Analysis as it is a step-by-step guide that could be of considerable assistance. I would of loved this book to have helped me through the process, but as per usual I find therapy books after I have completed the process!
Can't anyone or at least myself get over with it?
Learning to associate more with the confusion that comes with being beyond reason and judgement is one way, as can along with it be learning to disassociate more from the great social pretence of supposedly being any more or less than anybody else ~ which is difficult due to the habituation and generalised tendency to engage in it, but if you can get your autistic perseverance on the job, it can be and has been done ~ even by those who are not autistic and did not have the advantage of autistic perseverance.
Very simply ~ it involves learning to no longer socially camouflage and personally mask on a full time basis, but only when actually necessary, or even eventually not at all. I always used to imagine it was like putting on a hot and sweaty full coverage fancy dress costume on a heatwave sunny day in order to be socially recognised and get a sun-tan.
Glad I got done with that in 2013, as it was just making life increasingly unbearable before that. Things that were wearing me down as the difficult bits and the easy bits are at last now the easy bits ~ as I have the balance between the two in terms of having learnt to surf the sewage of life without drowning in it or getting a spot on me, sort of thing.
Well it is hardly surprising ~ what with us all being different to various degrees and some of us coming from differing nationalities with differing cultures and value systems. It would be so utterly boring if we did not and is utterly fascinating that we do, methinks.

The worst things that happened to a person may not be something they can actually talk or even write about.
To approach alluding yo it is progress in itself.
Thinking about an aunt who lost her son who she anf her husband (my mom's brother.. For some reason my compassion on this mainly extends to her and I cannot imagine from his side maybe due to gender)
Had taken care of for twenty something years
This son of theirs. Which involves many things that only can be imagined by those who havent seen it.
After he had a really bad reaction to a vaccine and paralyzed and regressed for life-- he lost ability to walk or talk or eat by himself erc overnight at age 3 or 4. My mom was living witg them at the time..
Recently she alluded to it in writing to me. That shows me she is approaching healing.
But she is at peace so maybe shr already had
Now what happened to me.. One thing among some..a storm of things.. That i cant explain in words (except to XH)
That i could not talk about fr years..
Out of necessity.. Only to 1 person..and a doctor. But barely..
He never helped or did a thing though it was within his power to help at the crucial time. She dismissed it and gaslighted me.. Her assistant was the person (cause of the trauma).
Why wdnt she? funny enough the one time XH saw this doctor (much before ) he had said to me solidly and quietly 'she is a witch.' I told him he was assuming etc n he said no. He was very staunch.
When he says things like this about ppl he has always been right (makes guesses). He has some psychic gift for sure.
I wont describe other instances to prove it as this isnt the point of the post. I still didnt believe him but after this happened i told him (years later) that it migjt be true.
But these things can contribute (dependimg on a cluster of things happening) to a broken mind (i believe)
Have now spoken about it to 3 other ppl and written about it 1ce but barely... Barely .. Just alluded ..
Impacts me daily and has taken so much from me. It is not something that can be fixed. My sons nurse told me something similar had happened to her too (forget how i confided to her) and someone helped her after 5 years...
Its been 8 years fr me.. I havent found any help..
Covid19 lockdown happened when i finally got brave enough n had scheduled an appointment seeking potential partial help..
A woman ruined another woman for life inentionally. And nobody knows except XH who tried to tell himself it was fine (as he recently told me after i btought it up in response to a question of his that he thoyght was unrelated)
And truly the suicide attempts only occured after never before. Now its just prayers.

I dunno if I should put it on 'Today I learned...' or what made me happy or what, but I'd rather think I'd just put it here instead.
Partially because I'd giving another hint sorts to share, and partially because I damn myself for not finding it sooner.
So I had issues with securing my privacy at home. I want my thoughts, my desires hidden.
Thing is, as much as I tried to express these through other means, I still feel rather unease because of knowing someone's going to invade it.
And thus, any attempt of journalling didn't helped me. Because I cannot trust to be honest with it.
So for years and years I tried finding ciphers that can both exclusive and something I can handle.
And now I found that.
So... Since then, then as in less than a day now, it is when I notice the real effects of the security and true to be honest without a hint of worry that someone's gonna barge and invade my privacy with journalling.
So... I just spent nearly 20 years -- yes, since I was 5 -- to find a true to honest refuge.
Locked notebooks, locked boxes, various ciphers, docs with passwords, tried-so-hard hidden places...
It's nothing compared to true certainty.

A vegan friend asked me what I had eaten yesterday and I told her I had eaten a delicious steak.
She replied: murderer! and was not joking. I stated that I always assumed that vegetarians were gentle tolerant people, when did they get to be so frigging judgemental?
I mean murderer???
I told her that fruit and vegetables feel pain also, go starve. Who knows, they might .

Sorry that happened to you. I've been pounced on by vegans more than once for only being a vegetarian. It doesn't help any that I don't do it for ethical reasons. From my experience, vegan is not so much a dietary choice, but more like a philosophy or way of life. Some of them can be a bit aggressive about it unfortunately.
And my own rant of the morning, I don't want to go paint today. Not at all. I want another day off. Grumble grumble.
^ ^I usually say that at least I kill my food before I eat it. Just picture the poor infant bean sprouts being crushed alive between your teeth. Even the carrots in your frig are alive. Chomp, chomp, chomp.
No offense to any vegetarians meant. I haven't used that in decades. But your rant, Teach, reminded me.
And I care desperately about plants.

If they want autistic people to follow rules when they matter, eg mask rules etc, despite our physical discomfort at that - they should make it so we're not expected to put up with pain where it doesn't matter. Dim the lights in shopping centres for eg, and make streets quieter at night.

I honestly hate humans & dogs. I wish it was just me, mum and a bunch of cats who kept having cute kittens.
