Sounds like you were mistaken for a conspiracy-like freedom advocate accuser who won't wear mask and refuse vaccines, or one of those people with certain set of beliefs like the members of the 'woowoo' cult for saying that particular comment.
Either you're at the wrong side of the net, interacting with the wrong cyberculture...
Or you're in a not-safe space where people would hunt such commentators.
Studying cyberculture is simpler than studying in real life cultures.
Doing the latter is supposedly easier for autistics for the same reason why one would prefer text based interactions over face to face interactions.
To blend in, you can join the same riot with same tones without getting suspicious, as if it's the same with reading the room and vibe into that.
Now, about me and my rant --
Let's see...
4 sources of headaches, 5 sources of chronic rhinitis, at least 2 sources of cold intolerance, 3 sources of recurring horse charley, possibly 3 sources of gravity intolerance, about 8 sources of chronic sleep issues, 4 sources of 'sensitivies', at least 5 dental issues...
Overlapping, barely distinguishing one another, thinking it's just a headache, it's just sneezing and my mom's aunts have it, it's just my body being skinny not liking cold, it's just cramps at night and my mom gets it too, it's just my head overthinking or just me hating sleep, it's just me being a female or my dad's side of the family or just autism being sensitive to crap, it's just me having to put up with this aching crap because I cannot literally afford to get rid of it yet.
In which most of my childhood thought it's normal. But that's because I don't have space to observe, I don't have enough autonomy.
It's even worse in adulthood, thinking it's just aging. It's not. I've been dealing with this long before I've been an adult.
I really, really need a checkup.
But Sunday is the only day off I have.
And in Sundays, there are no clinics.
Hospitals are packed and may forced me and my mom to quarantine for 2 weeks.
Now I have this dilemma -- calling sick (which I don't do even if my boss knows that I'm legitimately sick to a point she would have to order me to).
But it would swamp her and conflict to her schedules.
I don't actually like that.
Or, go to work and keep things on track. I have no problem working sick. As I said earlier in this post, because I thought it's "normal".
But, will be very overwhelmed by worrywarts and possibly just be a liability due to constant disruptive symptoms.
It'll scare people thinking I'm contagious.
Usually people would all say to call in sick.
But still... I don't know, I just wouldn't accept it easily.
I know rationally I need it, and I want that space and time for me to be available to go out there and have a check up.
But why is this irrational part of me keep refusing it??
