@LukeAlmighty @philmchawk @Dudebro @KuteboiCoder I don't find it too much a waste of time considering I've finished my weekend work and have nothing better to do. I find occasional utility in turning my thoughts into coherent paragraphs, though perhaps it would be better not to plaster each draft on my follower's timeline.

Anyway going back to autism, it's frustrating because I think I have the reverse-autism autism when it comes to conversing. When people speak to me, I enjoy the search for meaning. There will always be a difference between what is said versus what is meant due to the limitations of language. That's why I learn many different languages. If I were to go to Brasil and then get mad when I didn't understand people, that'd be pretty damn foolish and would rightfully be my fault. Likewise, it'd be the same in English if I somehow didn't understand what someone was saying due to minor semantic anomalies, or word choice or pronunciation etc.

In my life, I've had conversations with many autists both irl and online. In those conversations, I've had people get very upset and (from my perspective) refuse to understand my point because of quite inconsequential things like using affect rather than effect, or using a general term like airplane when it was acktually a Mi-24P Hind-F helicopter 🤓. These are the moments which make me realize most autistic people add nothing of value to my life. They claim intelligence and logic as a cope to hide their near universal thin-skin. Want to be respected? Become an idiot savant. Paint a giant mural, or invent a more efficient alternator or something. All that massive intellect doesn't amount to jack or shit unless you can back it up with something of value.

Thanks for the advice, but achievements lead nowhere. I used to be that kind of full dive autist for most of my life, but the rewards were so pathetic, that I just threw in the towel, and started focusing on the exact "problem" you were complaining in the very first post. How to benefit from the current shattering of society to form an actual social groups, that are not toxic to autists.

@veff @Dudebro @philmchawk @KuteboiCoder
And don't worry. I do understand your point of "missing empathy leading to us destroying the social cohesion as well as wasting resources and potential benefits that could be created if society wasn't split over these barely people"...

I just don't like it. Especially, since all most autistic people need is a bit of understanding and a shared space that would help them form more insular communities.

@LukeAlmighty @Dudebro @philmchawk @KuteboiCoder Imagine if there were thousands of physically handicapped people online who loudly complained that their friends never invited them to go swimming. Imagine if normal-bodied people got mad that they were never invited to participate in the Olympics. Imagine if the Latin-Americans got mad that all our US phone lines and grocery labels weren't in Span- oh. Scratch that last one.

I make do with what I was born with, which is more than some but less than many others. I don't let it bother me enough to get mad at the world and want to watch it be destroyed. Usually.
