letting people share autismspeaks funded articles without repercussion, not only is it against the rules but also damages autistic people, and i couldn't let that slide

i don't like the idea of a community that big setting a precedent like this. Then ofc I'm staying here bc it's much better, but i feel like this is a big problem, bc ppl are more prone to flock to that cesspool and thus getting exposed to autismspeaks propaganda and redditors. Im gonna take my benzos bc I'm really agitated about this

the thing is I'm not even self diagnosed yet they went for the jugular (i dunno if it'll make sense in english) assuming i was

but then im afraid of coming off as annoying or even creepy. I dont want to break her barriers just bc i want to talk to her, maybe she needs some time. I wrote her and she didnt even respond

just the way i was made feel throughout my life

cool! it's always nice to remember that you're not an alien and you're not alone and there are people you can relate to

the levels in the autism spectrum indicate the amount of support needed by an autistic person. High functioning autism is basically level 1 so low supports needs, level 2 is substantial supports need and 3 is high supports need. Labels like Aspergers or high-functioning are clinically irrelevant today, as in the DSM-5 all the different types of autism were joined into one single diagnosis, and that is autism spectrum disorder, hence the levels

yeah also no entitled mods here so that's a plus

it's also important to note that the trolling that was brought upon chris chan ultimately worsened any prior mental health issues they had, by having flocks of ppl pretending to be fans, love interests and villains. Not only did it give Chris Chan a fake sense of importance (fake as in orchestrated) that ultimately made them more egotistical but also more paranoid, to the point they were passive-aggressive towards anyone who interacted with them (I'm using they/them to refer to classic chris and trans mtf chris simultaneously) and making them an overall aggressive person. They were absolutely wrong in many occasions (being homophobic, sexist, racist, ecc...) but it doesn't excuse the people who were active participants in their mental decline, enabling certain fantasies that ultimately made them psychotic then turn around and acting all moral like "chris you shouldn't do that" while they egged him on the whole time. They took advantage of a deeply mentally ill person who is also autistic for their own entertainment and then people act as if they didn't contribute to the person that Chris chan is today. If there was no trolling Chris could've been helped appropriately (excluding the Bob and Barb factor) and they could've been radically different, but all the trolling did was close them off to any kind of help or prospect for the future while slowly making them find comfort only in their own imagination.

well first i identified it myself at twelve, but was too scared to find out i actually was autistic so i repressed it. Didn't even think about it up until the last months of high school, where a few friends just straight up asked "are you on the spectrum?" and one in particular, my best friend, also thought i was autistic. At one time, after one of the most distressing periods of my life also my brother said he thought i had autism. That's when i decided to get to the bottom of it and see if i had it (and yes i did, also ADHD)

there's a conlang sub? cool! (also i developed it in a few months by sounding it out then i wrote this in my notes)

big yes from me

im always in the groove

instrumental music is so good. Bands like Chon (math rock/math metal) or casiopea (80s j-fusion) are among my favorites. If you like post-rock theres an italian band called massimo volume (means maximum volume) though they have lyrics so i don't know if you'd like ir

it's crazy how nobody cares there! I'm literally pestering the subreddit bc its unacceptable

very unlikely ill find someone else, im not very confindent about that. Since this happens once in a blue moon for me. Dating has always been very hard for me

thanks, I have a soundcloud but i don't know im allowed to share

thats true but i guess I'll have to be patient. I realized long ago that the blue moon comes when you don't expect it, every time

fair enough.
