Alien autistic productivity vs. Human productivity

Post Reply New Topic

My definition of autism is a functional soul / mind inhabiting a human body. My definition of human is a dysfunctional entity / mind / soul living in a human body. I argue in my book that autistic souls are souls that come from and are used to living in functional place in the universe, and who do not know how to navigate themselves in your dysfunctional world. Hence, they become the dysfunctional one in your world. Imagine if you went into a time machine back to the stone age. Would you not become dysfunctional in that world? You are used to living in the future, so how will you navigate yourself to the stone age people? You don’t know how to use primitive tools like a stone axe, because you are used to working with guns. You will be the dysfunctional one in the stone age even though they need to learn from you - not the other way around.

Sure.
I don't like this human body.

Not in a "I'm insecure unattactive-too fat-too thin/weak/clumsy/born in wrong gender type of dislike".

But more like WTF highjacking limbic brain?!
WTF subconscious human brain programing in childhood?!
WTF "second brain"(the gut)?!
WTF female fluctuation of hormones and sensitivity?!

I seem to be in both worlds;
I am autistic in a functional and core-identity sense, but this human body also 'has autism' in a dysregulated and highly mismanaged of a nuisance sense.

Even my own Sped teacher knows I'm a "hybrid" of between "autism types".

I have full blown autism in a bodily sense that it affects what I can and cannot do, I'm also a something else that perceives things differently.

And despite both parts of me are autistic, it clashes! Because one is human -- traumatized and dysfunctional, and the other doesn't seem to be -- all this part of me wants is to be curious, explore and learn.
But is trapped in the dysfunctional human limbic system, is bound by socioeconomic issues and attachment.

im autistic but i like to spend time keeping my home tidy and organised and i also spend time keeping clean,putting makeup, styling my hair,painting my nails,etc .p

You got me there, haha:D well… im not saying that keeping clean and organized is a non-autistic thing to do. I’m saying that you should ONLY take productive action when absolutely necessary based on your own needs. I take shower once every two days because thats usually when my body tells me to do it. I eat when im hungry and not because I follow some recommendations from the state that one should eat 4-5 meals a day. I follow the necessity principle to organize my day, whereas humans follow the “being productive for the sake of being productive” - principle. Humans are productive for different reasons than autistic people. Autistic people are productive because they feel they need to be. Humans are productive because they ought to be. Absolute necessity vs. being seen as productive + escaping existential boredom / empty minds.

Also, autistic productivity is QUALITY oriented, whereas human productivity is QUANTITY focused: the more things you do, the better…. NOT NECESSARILY.

I can totally relate to this. I work to live, so I can get on with more interesting, creative things. My house is totally messy. Although not unhygienic! I won't stand toenail clippings etc. and I keep myself very clean.

Over the last few years I have been wondering more and more if I'm not human. My body doesn't function the same as them, I have different illnesses, I eat different food, and I need to drink water 24/7.

I do not put on weight. I am aging much slower than 'normal' humans i.e. I'm 53 but look 33. That sounds good but it isn't- I am often dismissed as 'a young person' but I'm much wiser than a 33 year old.

I don't have the same interests as humans. I don't like music, which they seem to adore. I can't tolerate any alcohol, which they seem to adore. I am not interested in clothes, jewellery, make up- what is the point.

I like thinking, imagining, wondering, researching.

I am not the same as humans.

I work to live, so I can get on with more interesting, creative things. - you said it better than I did. OMG :O

Omg sophie, you just made me the happiest autist blogger in the world with those words

I like thinking, imagining, wondering, researching.

YOU AND ME ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. And I Love your profile picture haha

Haha you are so funny:D
I like the cartoon very much. Please don’t change your profile pic …

Again, I wasn't meaning to be funny. Just stating facts. Why do people always laugh at what I say/write?

I might keep it, I might change it.

If your name is Kity and you have a funny cartoon like that, it can make you appear to be funny to the subconscious mind that communicates in pictures and associations, which might distract from the actual message. But I understand your frustration of not being taken seriously when you mean to be. Im sorry for my slight retardation there

No I mean it happens all the time- online, in real life, everywhere. I state a fact, everyone either laughs or gets angry. I have no idea why, because I'm just stating a fact.

I didn't mean you especially I can't remember why I chose KitLily as my name, I think it's a mixture of my real names.
