you cannot "cure" autism. it's a part of someone and how their brain works. you can't always tell if someone has autism. if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person. no, autism isn't a disease, it's a disability. no, vaccines don't cause autism. yes, girls can be autistic.

7 days.
I lasted 7 days this time.
It wasn’t personal, or course. It was just everything about the way I communicate and who I am.
Just not a fit.
I really thought it was going well this time.
Remember, #AutismAcceptance means accepting people even if you don’t know they’re autistic. Working with them, not cutting them loose. Human beings take time.

Hate groups do not like seeing this at all. Let's show autism speaks the door.

it’s all my usual weird rap about my interests, which I call my theories, but I got a laugh when after thinking the Biblical creation was such rubbish for so long, because We are All the Same, that when I imagined it as the actual approximate creation date of Allistic people, that was funny to me, ironic. Now I’m saying (most) people really were created in what was it, 5,731 BCE or so.

I’ve come full circle!

In a (too?) convenient bit of possibly only NT psychology, maybe not, the fact that we generally don’t remember this infantile learning experience, don’t remember making this likely pre-verbal decision, is sort of already accounted for.
.
Again, it was probably during our pre-verbal times, so wouldn’t have the words, plus maybe trauma, plus we are forever directed not to worry about that. “Human Nature,” has that covered, we supposedly had a poor opinion of people BEFORE the punishment.
.
If they have evidence or proof of that, I’d like to hear it. “Human Nature,” is not an explanation unless we are divinely created and/or completely impervious to everything in actual nature. In the real world things happen for reasons.

4. So, my experience, my reading of the Allistic science and psychology is that it starts with, “Humans are social animals, SO,” right, “THEREFORE,” - it’s at the beginning of the causal chain, it all starts with our supposed Natures and proceeds from there.
.
Surely I have people, proper psychologists around here - is this a theory, what I said about spanking creating social discrimination?
Anyone?
.
I always feel that I must be being immature and unfair to say these things - but people keep surprising me too. In fact, if I were a betting sort - anyone?

Always I am trying to lay it out in short form, spoiler alert: it never works.
.
1. Spanking is an attack and can be a trauma and what a spanked human baby, born to learn, learns is that the human they archetypically expect to love them attacks them, the first human they interacted with attacked them.
.
2. If we could run, it would be like any hostile animal, like a predator, simple, and possible to learn, but we cannot, so there is conflict, pain, fear, and hatred, we have reasons not to acknowledge or express these, we are still in the predator’s larder.
.
3. This conflict produces ambivalence, we learned early to hate and fear, but we must find love also, somehow, and so we are split within ourselves - and this splitting is what we produce in the world, this splitting is what makes us a “social animal,” whereby we must have people to love, which seems healthy enough, but we must also find people to hate, to reconcile our earliest childhood survival learning.

I think that’s new, a thing I intuited but never said before: this early abuse creates the NT social life.

tired. TBC, hopefully.

Je connaissais quelques chiffres déprimants sur l’autisme (très forte proportion de personnes sans emploi et/ou présentant des troubles mentaux, notamment), et là j’apprends que l’espérance de vie des personnes autistes serait réduite de 17 ans par rapport à la moyenne. Voire 30 ans pour les autistes avec déficience intellectuelle. Outch.

@punishmenthurts some of the worst-for-me people I have ever met, have a demeanor to express themselves as the nicest people, with their co-workers also in agreement, but those same kind of "nice" and "correct" people tend to react to me if I had literal shit on my face.
You and me both, tricked since birth into believing in the wrong-for-us stuff.
We know better now, but damn... that's a lot of decades we lost.
This month is Autism Acceptance Month. As Autistic people, we don't need just the term thrown about for a month. We need people to understand our differences and accept them. Then, maybe, we can feel included, accepted and supported.
So, I will be posting about autism-related terms to try to increase understanding.
The first one is: the “double empathy problem” — A term coined by Dr Damian Milton to describe how people with different backgrounds may have trouble understanding each other. Both autistic and non-autistic people have differences that can contribute to social disconnection and understanding.
