autism is a spectrum, which is funny because autistic people are known to exhibit extremely binary black-and-white thinking. at least that's the kind of thing you might find funny if you have autism

Because I am not satisfied with the person I am right now, and I want to be able to think and act like other people and also not feel like a social outcast.

Like, if you have autism and you see it as a gift, then great! That's great for you, and more power to you! I'm just saying the rest of us with autism who DON'T enjoy it or get any kind of use out of it should be able to seek treatment for it, and both options should be respected by others.

Basically having autism is like having really huge boobs. A lot of people see big huge honkin' tits as a gift, and that's fine and great, but for many people the drawbacks outweigh the benefits for one reason or another, and those people should have the option to make their titties smaller if they want or need to, and other people should respect their choice to do so or not do so. Autism is like that, except there is no medical procedure to reduce autism size.

I'm gay and autistic. I win all the prizes!

Agree with you on the other point though. At the risk of stirring up some poo poo I'm just going to say I hate when people say this is "a gift". It's not a loving gift, it's robbed me of a normal life and if there was a cure I'd take it tomorrow.

You misread, I just want autistic people to learn basic empathy so they don't become assholes too. If they're nice to other people then who cares about anything else they do?

We have basic empathy, you dumb mother fucker. Autism is a problem not being able to pick up on social or non-verbal cues it does mean we're unfeeling psychopaths.

He's absolutely wrong, and an rear end in a top hat.

I don't need to change myself to please anyone else, especially not loving useless dipshits like Yaldabaoth.

It's a loving struggle and there will always be people offended at my lack of interpretable body language, as well as :decorum: fuckers who will insist on remembering pointless minutiae about local traditional manners while telling me to give actual literal fascists the benefit of the doubt.

He doesn't get to be the arbiter of what's self-aware and considerate enough, especially given his rap sheet.

My chief problem is giving a poo poo enough to communicate when there's always a few motherfuckers in every group who take the fact that they cannot interpret my body language as a personal insult and start slinging around hostility based on my "tone" when their read is built on nothing but wild assumptions of what they assume I'm thinking.

There will always be some dipshit that says I need to learn to be better as a way to cover up for themselves being a clueless rear end in a top hat.

Or just being a humongous racist who doesn't like the autistic person calling them out on it. That happens constantly.

Everyone autistic has it bad because there's functionally infinite utterly crazy people taking your inability to communicate via body language as an insult.

Which comes as absolutely no surprise to anyone following politics or working retail.
