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?

@LukeAlmighty There is none. Autism is a fancy way of labelling how your mind works.

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.

> a fancy way of labelling how your brain works

Exactly! I totally agree with this!

I have (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.

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 :pepelol: )
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
