Research shows that lonely people have considerably shorter lifespans. My loneliness is literally killing me, and nobody cares.
So why is it that when I decide to have some actual f***ing agency in matter and end my life on my terms, all of a sudden everyone loses their minds?!

BS. You post here about your problems and the constraints you have to attracting a partner, and several people care enough to give you sound advice as to how you might work to overcome those difficulties so that you can achieve what you want.
It seems to me that the ball is in your court and You are the one that needs to take decisive action to deal with your depression, physical health etc in order to make yourself a more attractive potential partner.

Likewise, there is no consensus on what causes autism. Whether its purely genetic or triggered by environmental factors is unclear. Perhaps severity of symptoms is influenced by environmental factors during infancy, but the presence of autism is still genetically innate.
Point is there's no evidence that ASD is any less innate than sexual orientation.
I maintain that psychologically comorbidities like depression and anxiety can be illuminated if society stops treating autistic children as defective undesirables.

Okaaaay, first off:
Sexual orientation & gender are innate; most likely determined by hormone levels in the womb during fetal development.
Autism isn't necessarily innate. I've proven it by treating my ASD symptoms for the last decade. There may also be multiple causes of ASD, or rather, there likely are - and that's why it's such a large spectrum and many have GI issues and chemical sensitivities and some do not.
I'm sure you're familiar with the fact that autism causes anti-social behaviours. Why should society accept unacceptable behaviours?
That will never happen. There are reasons they are unacceptable and those who exhibit them are considered undesirable. The entire world isn't going to change to all of the sudden accept behaviours that are considered unacceptable. It's those on the spectrum that need to work hard at being able to control our behaviours within acceptable limits - whether that's via practice or therapies or some form of dietary/medicinal treatment, by whatever means, that work is up to us.Nothing is proven to cure autism. Your symptoms going away could be just as well temporary change in tolerance with exposure to stimuli. You have no indication you are cured, brain scans and treatment that works for a bigger scale of people and does not reverse with ceasing treatment. Treated disease is not cured unless there are permanent changes that will not be reversed and not need further treatment to maintain.
There's this medicine that stimulates coma patients aware brain and accident patients until the tissue is recovered and they actually wake up into awareness and slowly recover their functions after like 7 years of treatment. It doesn't actually reverse into coma or decrease. Brain scans are far different across the years following treatment. Treating the symptom does not cure the cause. Were you able to fix all of your symptoms with the same thing? Like anxiety, strong stimulus, non automatic reading of people, the way your thinking is wired as opposed to NT or black sheepness, having obsessive special interests, autistic hyperfocus or blank out in the street, awkward posture, fidgeting and stimming, repetition, following the same track and resistance to change, odd dress code and inability to fit in and be admired, upper street smarts or emotional intel?

Pepe. You're not an animal. You're a human being. Much like animals but we don't obtain and give each other tummy rubs like that. I don't feel comfortable supporting the animal or the human to such extents. Not even with hugs.
I am very different depending on my ties and bonds, pasts and views. I can barely live in peace with you.
You are distinct from others in the fact that you care and are preoccupied with my activity more than the others are. I'm thankful for it. It makes me feel less alone and a bit like i have a group. Like a gang if you will. It might be abnoxious but it's my gang. I might not always want it but it exists. Much like my autism.

I’ve been making the same posts telling my truth for the last ~10 years. It’s growing tiresome repeating myself.
I’ve never claimed to be cured. What I have figured out is a highly effective treatment protocol that I use to maintain myself and manage/minimize my symptoms.
Yes, the full range of my symptoms via one treatment protocol. It’s why I have friends, a career, money, a sex life etc etc that I never would have had had my AS symptoms remained life crippling as they were 10+ years ago.

While it makes some sense, Einstein didn't say it. Another spurious internet "quotation."
