I'm autistic myself and I relate so much to this meme. I hate being around other autists, I feel so much second hand embarrassment and cringe because my parents resented me for not being normal. I've tried socializing with other autists but I just can't.
168 posts and 13 image replies omitted.>>687912There are autistic folk who obsess over adult media more than for childrens media.
Also what's so bad about anime?
Of course stanning it isn't good but it's not bad within itself
Irony is, that's more allists whom obsess over childrens media.
>However, if you have autism for something meaningful and important, you should be worshipped and rewarded.Be careful with this.
Not all academic cultural products are equal
I would prefer if autistic folk were raised in blue collar training. It doesn't have to be anything heavy.
Light duty blue collar work.
Or maybe accounting or culinary.
Because let's be honest, the traditional academic route with doing paperwork isn't gonna work.
>>687920>Anime is pedo shit peddled by neo nazisSmh. Leftypol showing they're not different from chuds.
>>687933Those are the HFA kind.
Also notice that they're not necessarily good with following paperwork despite being well learned in academia?
Also again, not all academia is equal
>>687844Maybe telling children and their parents that they have a disorder and that they will never be normal is not a good idea?
You just have to look how my parents treat my older NT brother compared to me, the difference is insane.
They always encourage him, talk to him, even know his friends. I have told them several times about my friends and they don't want to know anything, I don't even think they have seen them in person.
>>687957>Maybe telling children and their parents that they have a disorder and that they will never be normal is not a good idea?I beg to differ. Truth is important

Yes that sucks.
>>687957>Maybe telling children and their parents that they have a disorder and that they will never be normal is not a good idea?They're going to be abnormal either way, if you don't actually tell them what's wrong with them, they'll be left wondering forever and it'd be arguably worse for their mental health.
>You just have to look how my parents treat my older NT brother compared to meSorry to hear that happened to you but having shitty parents doesn't mean that no one has a right to know what's wrong with themselves or their children.
>>687986>Children should learn to collaborate with their peersThat is something my parent did not learn, they just came out of the soviet system as a functioning adult, which I don't think is a result of the soviet system itself as plenty of autists today are also perfectly functioning adults. Though growing up with them was a pain.
>>687982When the "order" is someone being abjectly less capable of basic thought tasks, being unable to cooperate with others in a meaninful way–making up and enforcing social ques instead of focusing on the task at hand, and insisting on seeing everyone's unobstructed face so they can do eye contact rituals which involve seeing the mouth
during a fucking pandemic before randomly deciding you have a "passive-agressive" face and firing you anyway, and maintenance of this order involves being unvaccinated; of course people will think you're a quack for calling all deviation from said "order" a disorder.
>>687986Bruh, this is something children already do.
If anything children are denied any right to individuality.
They're forced to bond with peers that bully/gaslight them
Adults are spooked by solitary children.
>>688044"Social skills" in a nutshell.
Irony is, society was more social when there wasn't so many useless formalities.
>>688068You mean the neutral/stoic face?
Tbh I prefer that look.
I don't like smiling photos, especially for businesses.
They annoy me so much.
I cannot tell you how much rage I feel whenever I see the smiling photo of the journalist who wrote some liberal/reactionary nonsense article.
Especially if they're Christian political writers
There are stages beyond Greg, where you keep being an autist and are still mostly defined by your past history of Fregley-ness.
But in a different way. You are now a psycho, you know them normals better than they do themselves because you made the whole trip on your own merits. Nobody fucking helped you, they kicked you at every step of the way and blamed your inadequacy. You turned it around, you learned consciously, mistake by mistake, the things they normals never stopped to examine. The struggle made you stronger. By the time it became second nature FOR YOU to be "normal", you had constructed, actually constructed several personas for yourself. Researched, written down identities practiced day in and day out until you could step in and out of them. You became better, more adept at the social game than they are, because they never consciously developed the skills you were forced to, and then some.
You can finally hurt them. Every day you can hurt people with the impunity their radical individualist system affords you. There is no motive and no pattern. They were predators back then they are prey now. They had no agency as your torturers, as the therapists said, it was just how things were, you cant change the system. You accept that premise, normals have no agency at all, barely a hint of humanity. You don't lash out, you don't obsess. You pick from the buffet of life, the system works for you now.
>>688128>yet you lot are still mad that you need to look people in the eyes to let them know you’re actively focusing on what they’re saying.>it's not a meaningless ritual, you’ve just gone through so many years of shame that you’re incapable of doing it.If someone is looking at you in the eyes while you're talking, they aren't paying attention, they are focusing on looking you im the eyes, which is a very involved and concious process.
No one is capable of doing both perfectly, if anything autistics are better at it than allistics because they're aware of this and do tricks like imagining what you're saying on your forehead, while allistics
think they can and assume they heard what you said.
>>688136The first half of the post is true but the last half of the post isn't.
>>688130Not all children are bratty and not all elderly folk are senile and entitled. It's the family men/women whom are the worst though.
But I agree with the premise of this post. This is why we have solitude. The problem is a lot of anti normies aren't content with being by themselves. They want companionship but don't wanna sacrifice their quirks.
>>688119As an HFA this is petulance.
Why not just drop out of society altogether?
>>688128Tbh it's not the autistic fault completely either but you're right
>>688138That's not an entirely wrong post though. If we can be honest, how closely do we pay attention to people's words when we look them directly in the eyes?
>>688152That's kinda true as well.
ADHD and autistic are often always blamed for mishearing but allists are just as guilty.
>>687884>>687885i fucking died.
>>687886no its tommy being autistic.
This scene is an absolute classic, one time when i (certified touch of the tism) did a high dose of pure mescaline with my friend (certified not tistic) i was telling him this scene was how mescaline makes me feel before God, where im the waiter telling God "I dont mean to be outta orda ova here!" because at that time my life was completely fucked.
Also another time I was on a train on a consistent flow of high dose clonazepam and coffee telling the conductor that I was "Restin" another reference to this scene.
An absolute tism CLASSIC!!!!!!!
>>688310Autism does mean social ineptness though.
Although I do agree that social awkwardness is also a neurotypical phenomenon.
Autism is neurocognitive disorder.
Neurotypical folk with social awkwardness dont have that.
>>688350How do you know that Fregley isn't miserable?
Maybe he's happy because that's his coping mechanism?
Not that his exuberance isn't sincere but it doesn't mean lack of self-hatred when he's alone in his own thoughts.
I hate this patronisation of low functioning NDs as happy-go-lucky lads.
>>688543That would include you anon.
