Normies be like:
Autistic people need a system for everything, or they will go insane.
The same normies 10 min later:
What do you mean you don't eat 3 times a day?
Are you insane eating THAT for a breakfast?
Isn't it too late to drink coffee?
I love that autism is such a romanticised disorder, that all the people who claim to be #actuallyAutistic are just retards with no disipline, meanwhile most people I know with diagnosis are being doubted, because they try and work on themselves and don't lie down in defeat
fucking normies get off my impairment REEEE
Like pretty much by definition autism means social issues even between other autistic people, and then also sensory issues…
Ones who have it mild can cope but I don't think they can really ignore it, specially when tired.

Well, but it's not though. Once I get to a group of autistoc people, I feel the most normal I ever have.
It's called doubble empathy problem. And I seriously believe it.
@lanodan @sun @lunarised
You obviously understand, that an autistic society would grow a different standarts, that would mitigate the common issues, but we have to figure them up by ourselves.
So... yeah. I would love to see that research too.
So more complex than like "let's just group ourselves together, it's going to be fine".
@lanodan @sun @lunarised
Well, no. All of the following things would be a natural result of grouping autistic people together. It's just, that you don't appreciate the millenia of traditions that form your society. We aren't that lucky. But.... I believe It would happen on its own.

Ever since I found a group of healthy autists about 3 years ago, both my social life and mental health started to improve immensely. The depression is almost gone, and the exiety is getting smaller every single day. I was even able to withstand one insanely stressful situation with next to no long-term trauma, even though it's the kind of event that is known to be enough to force people to suicide.
But... I am still 25 years behind. The only way to secribe this kind of deficit is to compare it to a situation I heard of from a nerve damage patient. He said something to the effect: "I am healing. At this rate, I could walk again in 40 years. So, by that time, I will be....120 years old"
It is just the kind of lasting deficit that life just won't be long enough to heal.
Sure it's better, but it's not like some kind of brain compatibility issue with normies.
Although part of me is curious about ones raised within autistic groups as socializing does lean heavily on that.
