Outlier, I'm mostly speechless. Not at the knowledge that others on the spectrum have had lives roughly like mine -- or worse, but that anyone should have such a life. Thank you for pointing out how this seems to inherently come with/become visited upon the condition. Insight is supposed to be comforting, but from my perspective change in "the way things are" would be better.

My mom's side of the family are like that too. If you do not conform to what they consider to be worthy they treat you like a second class citizen. My father's side of the family are much more understanding because of my grandmother and father both have "defective genes" more or less so they aren't as harsh.

I think the key is speaking to people one to one there is this other animalistic non verbal thing going on in groups dont assume nts arent lonely many talk about nothing endlessly ignoring anything real so i feel sorry for them they cant go out on there own .
