This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What I mean by nightmare for autistic people is that autistic people, while often excelling at tasks and activities that have firm, mechanical, logical rules, are also often totally bewildered by social interactions because, on their face, they don't really seem to follow any black and white rules.
Autists try to logic their way, consciously, through a challenging social interaction as if it were a game of chess, even though the rules are basically calvinball rules.
My point is that this kind of catastrophic social interaction is more likely and more challenging for a neurodiverse than a neurotypical, not that the Israeli's incitement was justifiable.
Yep and that's how you ruin your career and possibly go to jail, have fun paying off your student loans at a min wage job the rest of your life after everyone hears about the guy that freaked out over a friendly dinner and broke the funny popular guy's orbital bone.
That's how you are supposed to deal with that level of awfulness. If you idiots can't fucking throw away your worthless fucking lives en-masse to fix this mess, how do you expect change to ever happen?
... who is 'you idiots?'
Autistic people? Everyone who's ever experienced a bigoted insult?
... Can you actually explain your plan here?
Oh, jeez, not like that, no. I am autistic, and I didn't mean other autistic people. Let's just say I'm angry at humans in general and leave it at that, I think I'd better get off Lemmy for a while.
Hey, totally serious here:
You got a bit overheated, realized it, and you're taking a break.
I totally get just becoming so angry at the hypocrisy of it all, and I genuinely just want to commend you for realizing when you got a bit hot headed.
If only our allistic acquaintances had the same ability to admit when their emotions are driving their actions.
Thanks.
