Sock and tired of the demonization of heteronormative behavior. It's highly offensive to and dismissive of heterosexuals like me, but most hets are societally pressured into silence, for fear of being called "anti-woman" or "intolerant".
Spare the BS, third wave feminists. 🙄

I was zhinking about this ideology a lot, but it took me until I heard about abelism, that I realized, that these people love being the underdogs so much, that they would rather be born crippled, then use the gifts they have to do good in this world.
In other words, it's not an idiology of loosers, it's torse. it's an ideology hating sucess in any form immaginable.
@LukeAlmighty @realcaseyrollins They even think that pregnant women trying to prevent themselves from having a disabled child is or people trying to find cures for autism is ableist. They equate it to genocide and eugenics.

A know these words are forbiden here but:
That kind of offends me :D
I am autistic, and I stopped taking treatements after a week, because I just felt much better without them. Now, 10 years later, my life is amazing and I still do not consider anything to do with autism as an ilness.
It does not reduce my ability to focus
It does not make me emotionally unstable
It does not make me dumb.
Where exactly is the ilness?
@thatbrickster @realcaseyrollins @xianc78
Exactly. When I was kid, my father was told I would be lucky if I manage to make it through special education. Then I completed basic education without problem. Then high school without problem. Now, I am not only at university,but also in a job so good, I make as much per hour on part time as my father does on full.
And the experts thought I needed more drugs not to be a total parasite. Just ridiculous.
The UK doesn't bother with drugs to 'fix' what doesn't need fixing. It does mean the parents need to have a clue how their child(ren) behaves.

From my experience "social disorder" just means you're not interested in the same boring shit most people are.
Take "normal" person and put them next to 10 theoretical scientists.... And then you will see who has a "social disorder" all of the sudden 
@thatbrickster @realcaseyrollins @xianc78
Glad to hear you went through it without any major complications. (At least If I inderstand what you meant.)
Btw, are the cops in britan as bad as the legends say?

> a fancy way of labelling how your brain works
Exactly! I totally agree with this!
I have #ADHD (self diagnosed, but my parents thought so too and chose not to medicate me) and I adjusted fairly well. I haven't perfectly coped with everything yet, but it's more annoying than anything else, at least it has been so far.
@realcaseyrollins @thatbrickster @xianc78
I would say, that I didn't even have to "deal" tith anything except for two problems.
1) dating... (I heard I am not even alone in this nowdays 
)
2) my mother just expected a "normal" child. She told me only once directly, but it is quite obvious, that she just is not able to see me as the person I am.
Rest is perfect plus ultra ;D
@realcaseyrollins @thatbrickster @xianc78
BTW, what exactly do you feel like you have to "cope with"? (if you don't mind telling me of corse.)
@LukeAlmighty @thatbrickster @xianc78 Early on it was low self esteem, although I've mostly gotten over it (although it spikes up when I make a mistake or think I made a mistake), but yeah also distractibility, forgetfulness, being randomly burned out...I did #ADHD bingo again earlier this year that kinda illustrates what I still deal with, but thankfully none of it has had any serious adverse affects on my life so far. Only the people who are closest to me really even know the #ADHD symptoms I exhibit, I have a tendency to hide them if I can (although last semester I started being more transparent about this).
@realcaseyrollins @LukeAlmighty @thatbrickster I don't think you need to hide them. ADHD seems to be WAY less taboo than autism.
@xianc78 @realcaseyrollins @thatbrickster
ADHA=autism=aspergers
It might not be in special literature, but not even most psychology expects can tell the difference.
@LukeAlmighty @xianc78 @thatbrickster
> I don't think you need to hide them.
Yeah this is true, and why I'm trying to be more open about it now. I didn't really look into it that much until about freshman year of college tho (two years ago)
