Why are so many people with autism full of hate and rage?

I think it’s because they know what politeness is - they learned growing up. But they don’t know how to respond to subtlety critical comments and may find it hard to have a friend group to vent to. So there’s no little vents, just large ones. Angry outbursts instead of subdued sarcasm.

I think there would be a lot of benefit from social clubs for people who struggle with this.

Autistic people have a hard time communicating and expressing themselves clearly. It can be very frustrating for them and who they're communicating with.

Autism is brain damage

They have trouble expressing themselves and it's very hard on them when others don't understand.

Not all people with autism are this way. Some are very sweet. I've found some are very sensitive to tone and react strongly, so speaking calm and gently is the way to deescalate.

living in a world/society that isn't made for you?

They aren’t beaten enough by their parents for mouthing off.

Difficulty expressing themselves.

Frustration at what they perceive as misunderstanding them or intentional disregard for them.

Narcissism - they think the world should accommodate them, rather than making adjustments themselves.

Anger and hurt at mistreatment or perceived mistreatment by others.

Many autistic teens ( especially females) are wrongly diagnosed with borderline personality. Similar traits I guess

Because most people can’t stand to be around them, OP. It makes you bitter and frustrated to never have anyone who wants to listen to you or talk to you. Or even make you feel included in a group setting.

Spending your entire lifetime outside of normal human relationships is defeating and embittering at the same time. Especially when you can see other people don’t have to live that way, other people have supportive families and relationships, which is how people blow off steam normally. So instead, they’re venting inappropriately at strangers and acquaintances.

Try to imagine spending an entire lifetime outside of most basic human experiences. The older you get, the more apparent it is to others that you’re not hitting the milestones that would be normal for your age, and the more of an outsider you are. This is what abortion is for.

[quote]This is what abortion is for.

How do you mean? As far as I know, there isn't a test to know that the unborn baby will be autistic.

[R9] What about homosexuality? People can say or have said the same thing about us.

R11 Not that poster but most gay people are neurotypical and engage fine in most ways. They either successfully stay closeted or find gay partners anyway.

You can be autistic and gay.

Aspies annoy the fuck out of me. There is something seriously off about them .

R10, if there was, almost every parent would abort that kid. What I meant is, there’s no point in bringing people into the world who are never going to be able to assimilate. Call it eugenics all you want, but it’s even less fun for the individual than it is for everyone else. You only have to deal with them sometimes, but for them, it’s wherever you go, there you are.

R15, exactly

It seems like it is eugenics. Autistic people are being trained and sterilized. I sometimes wonder if that is part of the push by the gov. A lot of these people won't be able to take care of themselves once their families die off.

In part because you pay attention to the louder ones, while the more quiet ones simply exist. I'm mildly autistic myself, and many in my family are also. Autistic people can be prone to awful "meltdowns" but many if us work hard to take responsibility for our actions and function as well as we can. My meltdowns take the form of intense crying spells, and when I was younger they were more frequent and involved hitting myself. Despite this, they almost never occurred in front of others, and I've never used overwhelming feelings as an excuse to lash out. I work in a technological field wuth many other autists, and there is much less drama than at previous workplaces. Nobody has to befriend autists, and unfortunately some people will always struggle significantly just to function in society, but many of us are capable of working with others and living fulfilling lives. Also, while the autism=genius thing is flagrant bullshit, autistic people have made significant contributions to science and the arts. Many of your favorite musicians and directors are probably on the spectrum, as well as many of the people that develop the technology that we use every day. The world would be better off of some of you nasty haters were crushed by Tenple Grandin's hugbox, rather than eliminating autistic people

R18 *Temple

Something is very wrong with all their nerve systems. They are worse than downies but their normal looks are deceiving.

I’m wary of letting them in to my life . You can’t trust them . And r18 is full of crap . Typical of these people

My hag had an Aspberger’s boss, a fraucunt atty. She apparently would fart in her office all day long, not a care in the world.

R22, they are prone to gastrointestinal problems

We had an Aspie in our yoga class who stunk the whole studio up with her awful farts.

These people should be punished. I think they’re all full of shit, quite frankly.

Why is OP a Nazi?

R26, what a retort. You are brilliant 🤣.

It’s all these geriatric fathers with their expired sperm making these weirdo kids.

And possible trauma in womb r28. Autistic people generally ( lol) don’t connect to other people. This is not a betterment for society

I swear most of DL is on the spectrum. Including OP.

It lines up statistically. Autism is more prevalent in males.

R30, that would be plausible considering how cruel so many can be here

Bump

But anti-socials can be smooth as silk around other people - and secretly vicious and sometimes murderous. Expert Robert Hare thinks 4% of the population are psychopaths. Ted Bundy was a good-looking, likeable guy.

Psychopathy is also hereditary and can result from brain damage. They're worse than autism spectrum folks, generally speaking, though I'm sure the conditions can overlap - but without the smooth, con-artist presentation.

Should we kill all of them if we can pick it up on a brain scan. (btw, lots of psychopaths in law and medicine - they make great surgeons because people bleeding out or dying on the table don't even raise their blood pressure - they don't care)

R33, ☝🏼 Autistics who can communicate always bring up what aboutism . Higher functioning autistics don’t feel much either except their own discomfort

I know they're unempathetic and cold, but I always thought psychopathy (antisocial PD) had an element of sadism - not usually found in autism.

Just armchair psychology though - I really don't know. And I'm sure there's a huge range for every mental or personality disorder.

Real Psychopaths are not particularly reliable so probably more surgeons and CEOs are malignant narrissists. 6% of the people are narcissists and 3 or 4% are psychopaths. It comes out to about 19 million people walking around without a conscious.

Maybe because Autism is very related to environmental toxins that fuck things up in vitro. If I was Autistic i'd be mad at the man too. My whole family is weird and I may be too. Being born and raised in Runcorn England, Runcorn is Englands Galveston, in that the Chemical plants dominate the skyline. Pouring out untold unknown and unmentionable toxins into the environment. They have permeated the whole area with compounds that nobody really knows what they do. The Manufacturing of the these compounds, organochloride compounds are used in PVC, plastics, fertilizers and tons of other things.This kind of chemistry open world experimentation began in such places on a mass scale a couple of generations ago.. The Big chem companies have been getting away with this forever. They made mustard gas in ww1 for instance then dumped it in the marshes around the village when they did't know what to do with it. The Area has so many Autistic people the local mall has a special room just for them. Count your blessings that you're not one of the affected and try to have empathy.

That’s terrible, R36. And the worst part is it sounds like the locals just think, let’s just accommodate these people and forget why it happened.

R37 This is interesting but are rates of autism really higher in Runcorn? I tried to find some evidence but couldn't. Just because there's a special room in a mall doesn't necessarily mean that rates are higher. Would like some evidence?

Runcorn sounds cute. Sorry it’s a shithole.

R39 That is all likely however statistics are model of reality not reality itself. I have never been to another mall with an Autism room for example. Also the power of these companies is not to be underestimated. They have the means and motive and ability to do things such as scrubbing negative data. We are Talking about global conglomerates such as ICI, Unilever, Etc. Runcorn isn't a shit hole really it is o.k. it has it's attributes.

Because the world keeps serving them BROKENED CHEESEBURGERS, obviously.

Bump

Where does autism research stand? What's the current consensus on cause(s)? Genuine questions because I've heard so many different ideas on this. I had a professor in graduate school who taught that autism stemmed from father issues, but that's not correct. I've experienced a few rage filled autistics and I felt it came from being bullied or outcastes but who knows?

R45, a lot of it stems from jealousy. They don’t have normal feelings

The ignorance here is astounding. OP is an idiot.

r46 Been here long?

They’re trans.

R46, is autistic

They should shape up or ship out.

Nixon Now!

Jeez there are some fucking awful people on this thread. If it’s any consolation for you shit for brain idiots, most of the nasty things you say about those with autism, many people think the same as you for being gay. They would prefer that you were aborted, they would prefer never to have to engage with you, never to have to work along side you. .

Think about that for a minute you vile idiots, then go look for a single brain cell to match the one in your head.

R52, is melting down with rage 😡! Ha ha you. defect

They say it how it is, without filter. We use politeness and decorum as ways to manipulate and guide conflicts, confrontations and conversations. We try to diffuse, try not to offend, try not to escalate a tense encounter any further. They just stick to their guns without considering the ramifications for themselves and others. That's how they are wired.

R53 Don't be too proud to ask for help, you need it.

R44 No-one really knows, which is why I don't like seeing people claiming that it's due to chemicals without evidence to support it, compelling or not (remember what happened wrt the Andrew Wakefield vaccine theory - people passing off their hypothesis as fact).

I think that the current thinking is mostly that it's probably due to genes but that hasn't been proven.

Why is OP the dumbest cunt that ever lived?

I work with a female autist and nobody can stand her. I think she broke through the earth’s crust on her ascension from hell just to terrorise anyone with the misfortune to be employed alongside her. Passive aggressive (slams cupboards, keyboards etc when she believes she is working harder than everyone else. Overly competitive. Always trying to flex her “intellect” on anyone around. Condescending. Bad hygiene. No empathy. Always on the cross about something. Fuck you Shannon I hope you choke.

I came across this recently which may explain some of it - autistic people are hypo-mentalisers, meaning that they underthink about what other people may be experiencing or communicating to them and are driven by their own needs and wants more than others are.

"autistic thinking

Autistic thinking refers to a cognitive progress that is not in accordance with consensus reality, but rather emphasizes preoccupation with inner experiences and needs. See also § dereistic thinking. More generally, it means thinking that is driven by internally oriented wishes and desires regardless of external factors"

Interesting. Sometimes the thought crosses my mind that my rural-born and raised father (clearly NPD and autistic, combined with likely PTSD) and his many siblings as well as myself were affected similarly by the ingestion of unregulated pesticides and herbicides liberally soaked all over British farmland in the West of the country from the 1960s/70s onward, as well as enormous electric pylons emitting their smog strung right the way across the countryside. At the least, it's known that all those untested and powerful chemicals decimated certain fish, animal and plant species, so goodness knows what they've done to the human genome via consumptions. Having to breathe all that poison and make skin contact with it, as well as eat food grown from it...doesn't bear thinking about too much.

In me there are a few distinct traits of autism, though I'd sooner call myself avoidant and traumatised by having an ASD father rather than having full-blown ASD myself. Being female and well-socialised and a generation removed, I do mask and function better emotionally than Pops. There are many people from my home county who I'd describe as weird and socially-backward--perhaps that's how the stereotype of the backward, Deliverance-style bumpkin arises? Toxicity...

Recently, I read that nowhere on Earth is rainwater safe enough to drink or bathe in anymore, due to PFAS pollution. Every drop of 'fresh' water on Earth must be cleaned and filtered before we can touch or consume it. It's deeply fucked up, what we've done to this biome. We're in the Anthropocene now, and I suppose there's little left that may be done about it.

[quote] “You’ve seen where this efficiency of yours leads. Wholesale pollution of the countryside. Devilish creatures spawned by the filthy by-products of your technology. Men walking around like brainless vegetables. Death. Disease. Destruction.” – Doctor Who: 'The Green Death' (1973)

R60 That's just a theory. Do you have evidence to support it? If it's true in the case of Runcorn then we should have a higher rate of autism occurring there.

R61 no, clearly I don't have source evidence and it wasn't my point to begin with, someone else brought it up. In concurrence with you, all I said was that it was interesting to consider as a possible theory, and may track with my anecdotal experience.

R58, she sounds like a nightmare

R62 It sounds like conspiracy crap to me and you sound like a massive fraucunt with your whole NPD, PSTD, blah blah crap too. People band around those terms like confetti with no proper psych diagnosis and understanding of those conditions as well. I honestly wish that people had better scientific education in general.

No I think it's the gut bacteria thing. It's why they have more have gastrointestinal problems. They have more harmful bacteria types living in their gut tract, affecting the brain. Like how serotonin is made in the intestine.

That's why they have fewer symptoms when they have the fever because the harmful gut bacteria is dying down in the body heat.

We need lots of probiotics and something about our environment is killing off the good for human bacteria.

I mean that's not only it, but it is part of it.

Sometimes I wonder if maybe it's a failsafe to slow us down and stop us from destroying ourselves but no, it couldn't be that.

R64 alright, since you're so well-informed, why not post primers and information which you deem correct? Why not set us all straight?

That way, you'd be disseminating truth and dismantling falsehoods as you perceive them, and provided you have your facts right as you claim, might actually move us all forward and contribute to the thread in some meaningful way beyond bitching about how everyone but you is wrong. I suspect you won't bother, though, even if you ought.

I concur.

After I got vaccinated with a covid vaccine I received my autism in adulthood.

Why does it have to be up to the People who live in the chemical alleys and pesticide herbicide soaked farmlands to prove there theories.They look around them and see people with cancer Autism and other defects and they say hmm why do we have this here and not over there were there is no farming or manufacturing. The Manufacturers are making them not from the goodness of there hearts but for financial gain. When someone comes along with a scientifically based ivory tower superior, you magical thinking idiot, you need proof perspective i say this is flipping the onerous of responsibility onto the experimentee's. It is a flaw with the system perpetuated by academia and supported by self ego inflating. I realize this perspective taken to an extreme is dangerous also. I do believe and am very thankful for vaccines and science generally but to mistake science for certainty is an error in my judgement.

As was leaving a comma out of that last sentence.

autism = ape dna

It’s weird that there’s still only one word to describe everyone from the (deeply loathed by all, even if no one admits it) head-banging non-verbal 5-y-o autist to the anime trans autists to the stony, oblivious, tech autists. It just doesn’t seem like one thing.

What the hell R69! I've worked with non-verbal, Autistic Fragile X syndrome people who made more sense.

Most autistics are mentally slow

R72 yes, that's never made sense to me, either.

Further, I think that males or females never have displayed 'autism' in the same ways, and should have separate disorder classifications.

R75 wymin apparently "mask" more than males when they happen to have autism.

[qquote]autistic people are hypo-mentalisers, meaning that they underthink about what other people may be experiencing or communicating to them and are driven by their own needs and wants more than others are.

There's a guy on Scruff in my area who says he's on the spectrum and his entire profile is about his needs and desires and how potential hookups can best meet them, and I'm thinking, what's in this for me?

R77 If he has a long penis, a lot.

R60 - I had to look up your claim, as I hadn't heard it before.

Why isn't this front page news everywhere? Frightening.

There's a 30 year body of evidence that mood disorders, personality disorders and autism are connected to the use of paracetamol during pregnancy.

It's horrifying.

R65

Think for a moment how many antibiotics are given to infants. My nephew is one year old and has been prescribed an average of one course of antibiotics every 8 weeks for everything from snuffles to ear aches. At one yearold his microbiome is severely damaged , probably permanently. The microbiome we inherent from our mothers is probably very damaged in most people.

I was wondering where the autism troll was. Haven’t heard anything from the BPD troll in a while either.

R81

Just keep making excuses to fail and they will

How about some reasons to succeed.?

R65 so what, just eating ferments and sauerkraut will cure ASD?

r85 No, the microbiome affect brain development. Once the damage is done its done.

I was molested. :-/

Bump

A bunch of nonscientific bullshit on this thread.

Autistics of the “ higher functioning “ caliber are disloyal, mean to their fucking core , mendacious and extremely selfish . Nothing moves these people. They can’t feel any love or true emotions. They are robots .

So what should we do with them, r90?

They must be good for something. Are there Chinese autistics?

R91,?

Bumpn

You answered your own question, OP. Because they are autistic. You don't see the world the way that they do and you don't experience the world the way that they do.

Crystallized evil!

I’ve never seen an autistic with bright warm eyes . Something so vacant there

How do people on this thread know enough autistic people to have opinions about autistics in general? Do you all work in the metal health field? Or maybe you are teachers and your experience is with kids?

I don’t get it. Even if someone you know is “off,” how can you be sure it’s autism? And if they are going around saying, “I’m AUTISTIC!” maybe they are just an asshole who wants attention and an excuse for poor behavior.

I have never met an adult who claimed to be autistic .

Autists have tender feelings too y'know!

I knew an autistic once and his supercunt of a mother.

Bad news all around.

I dated a guy on the spectrum. At first I thought his little quirks were charming and cute but he ended up being a monster.

Are those the thoughts of someone on the autistic spectrum?

Too much internet for children mimics autistic characteristics. Buckle up because there are generations of aspies being cultivated.

I had an ex who was high functioning. He is a piano and all around musical prodigy. Beautiful, perfect cock. Attractive. Would have rather had ongoing root canals than do anything with him in a social setting. It lasted 8 months.

In the case of my niece's son (age 11, non-verbal), he often acts out and is quickly and constantly reprimanded by my niece and her husband. I can only visit for an hour or so because it's impossible to have any sort of visit because of the interruptions. When they have company, my niece or her husband run interference so you can visit. It is just my opinion, but their autistic son would be better off living in a facility and being taken care of by professionals who know how to best care for autistic patients.

No wonder my niece's son lashes out often because of the negative treatment he receives by his parents. The tension, which I'm sure an autistic child can pick up on, is on high. By the way, my brother is financially able to help his daughter and husband pay for long-term care. He already makes it possible for my niece to stay home and receive occasional in-home care.

I wonder if parents with autistic children, trying to be good parents, are better off having their autistic child being helped by professionals rather than try on their own.

R104, having children like that at home destroys their families often and at best make their lives very unpleasant. I am not a parent and so it’s easy for me to be cavalier but I agree that institutionalization is the sensible option. In many cases I don’t know that the kids would even notice the difference.

R105 They could have also been aborted, then they wouldn't notice the difference either.

R106, was that supposed to be some kind of dunk?

r106 So could you. And yet, here you are because some poor, misguided, woman decided to keep her hellspawn.

Are there many facilities to institutionalize people - let alone children? There was a huge movement away from that and it's highly stigmatized. Didn't Tom Cruise go "save" his brother Dustin Hoffman from an institution? (vaguely trying to remember The Rain Man)

I think most parents would feel pretty bad about it - and would be looked down on by their families and social group. Inclusion is the way it's done, end of.

Agree that may not be the best thing. Jacqueline Susann had an autistic son she put in an institution and visited occasionally. Michael Caine had a brother that he didn't realize was his brother for many years - and he and his mother would go visit him in an institution. But we're talking the 1940s, 50s, early 60s.

More recently, I think Angie Dickinson had an autistic daughter she may have ended up putting in care - at least for a while? Poor woman commited suicide around age 40 I think. Most others I know of keep theirs at home - John Travolta being one example.

I looked it up so you don't have to: Angie Dickinson's

daughter with Burt Bacharach, Lea Nikki, known as Nikki, was born three months premature, Nikki had chronic health problems, including visual impairment and was later diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. Bacharach composed the music of the song "Nikki" for their daughter and Dickinson declined many roles to focus on caring for her. They eventually placed their daughter at the Wilson Center, a psychiatric residential treatment facility for adolescents in Faribault, Minnesota, where she remained for nine years. Later, Nikki studied geology at California Lutheran University but her poor eyesight prevented her from pursuing it as a career. On January 4, 2007, Nikki took her life by suffocation in her apartment in the Ventura County suburb of Thousand Oaks; she was 40. In a joint statement, Dickinson and Bacharach said,

"She quietly and peacefully committed suicide to escape the ravages to her brain brought on by Asperger's. ...She loved kitties, earthquakes, glacial calving, meteor showers, science, blue skies and sunsets, and Tahiti. She was one of the most beautiful creatures created on this earth, and she is now in the white light, at peace."

The outcomes of autistics is really a mixed bag. Many end up in creative fields despite their rigid interests. for instance, some higher functioning ones manage to channel their obsessions and quirks into successful careers as entertainers, and the behavioral “masking” they learn in order to adapt to social situations contributes to their ability to morph into different roles on stage and film. (David Byrne, Sir Anthony Hopkins, and Dan Ackroyd — all diagnosed — are examples of this performative flexibility). On the dark side, some autists channel their rigid, black and white thinking and emotional dysregulation into angry, reactionary personas. I suspect that Ben Shapiro, Dr. Jordan Peterson, and Russell Brand fit into this category, but being rightwing adjacent, there’s no way in hell they’ll admit to being autistic or otherwise mentally disabled.

Bump

R11 y'know I'd never considered that Russell Brand might have ASD. He always reads to me as simply a manic narcissist who loves the sound of his own voice, and will talk about anything incendiary to make sure he gets the attention he craves.

I think we will see more of the austies in the future...

Russell Brand, unmasked:

I hadn't either R113 but now that I think about his awkward past, it makes sense. I recall some situation where he appeared naked - and was on a talk show and said, 'Don't pick on me. It was cold!!' That's funny. Narcissists aren't funny when it comes to making fun of themselves. I'm not sure if they're ever funny, anyway - but Trump could be, when picking on others esp - a lot like Cartman. But not as nice.

Is that really Brand as a kid? He was fat??

He's says he's bipolar. I think a lot of mentally-ill people choose that label because it's not as stigmatized as autistic, borderline, narcissistic, anti-social. Googled him:

"Russell Brand is a British comedian, actor, and activist. He has made his struggle with bipolar disorder a central focus of his public persona, often referencing it in his performances and writing. He’s known for speaking openly about instability in his past. He withstood an unhappy childhood, a heroin and crack habit, bulimia, and sex addiction. His bipolar disorder has helped shape his career: he’s now known for his intriguing combination of ambition and vulnerability."

R118, especially if you can nab a bipolar 2 disorder aka “you’re crazy but beyond that…hard to say” diagnosis.

Can I sue the vaccination company who injected me with the autism causing vaccine?

Ben Shapiro also has the intense autism face with knitted brows like Russell Brand. Here’s Ben in his youth. Compare that with the pic of Brand at R115; they look like brothers.

Shapiro doesn't look like he has autism at all.

People on the high functioning spectrum often do have a distinct looks you can notice in photos, in particular a kind of piercing direct blankness. Often they're quite handsome and young-looking for their age, with wide-set eyes and forehead.

R122 You’re confusing autism with fetal alcohol syndrome. The majority of autistic people I know were funny looking kids who became funny looking adults. Ben Shapiro is an exception, handsome but not exactly a hunk with his tiny frame. He has a beautiful singing voice too. If he weren’t a right wing hate-monger, I’d do him.

No, I'm not, r123.

(Also - Ben Shapiro is not in the spectrum. There's something kinda off about him but it's not Aspergers.)

There's significant research on facial characteristics on individuals on the spectrum.

Ben is most certainly an Aspie .

Autists who identify themselves as bipolar remind me of gay men who identify themselves as bisexual.

Nb. a lot of replies are using the word ‘Aspie’—technically and according to the DSM-V (the 2013 keelhaul of the 1990s DSM-IV) and the latest update in DSM-V-TR (2022), Asperger’s has been declassified as a valid individual diagnosis and subsumed under the umbrella term ‘ASD’. Psychiatrists in America no longer make any distinction.

I'm surprised at how mean Shapiro looked as a high schooler. He didn't just look nerdy and full of himself like he does now, he looks mean.

What R2 said and I think also sensory processing.

I have significant hearing loss in one ear due to a medical condition that causes chronic inflammation/anaphylaxis, and I was surprised and honestly relieved to learn in a way that anger and episodes of rage are common among people who have nerve damage in their ears and hearing loss. Of course part of the reason is frustration, but another part seems to be that the sensory disruption aggravates the nervous system physically, and the nervous system obviously is a primary cause of anxiety and self-defensive reactions.

I think people with autism are 'wired wrong' and their circuitry is confused, mistranslating inputs through the wrong processors and generating inappropriate outputs.

A lot of Jews are on the spectrum and at least they are a bright and interesting people.

R130 is that why they talk to themselves? And to furniture?

I know people with autism and people with bipolar. Both have distinct traits that really can't be confused as the other. If someone is manic, you know they're manic and not autistic.

Most with bipolar present as almost normal when they're not manic or depressed, they have social skills. Autistics have little to no social skills or empathy, they're not manic.

Bipolars' have empathy, too much sometimes if they're manic. To the layman, or people who've never experienced others with these conditions, they could easily be convinced each condition is the other I guess.

Bipolar mania is nothing like autism. It could be mistaken for drug abuse, like cocaine, crack or meth, or it could be mistaken for schizophrenia, depending how it manifests. But not like autism.

My brother is bipolar and on the spectrum, he's manic, depressed, has no empathy, no social skills etc. he's also arrogant, condescending and an insufferable cunt of a human being. So yes, you can have both conditions, but I imagine it's rare. There's bipolar in my mom's family, and autism in my dads, and unfortunately he got both.

R134, you poor soul . Limit your interactions with him . He sounds awful

r135 Thankyou. He is awful. And I do stay away from him.

Lots of women with minor social quirks or abnormalities are now being mistyped ASD, in a pendulum swing too far in the other direction. It used to be that the odd rare ASD woman couldn't get a diagnosis for love nor money; now, that same woman has to compete for resources with not only men but also the thousands of women with trauma & PTSD/anxiety & depression/hormone issues/eating disorders etc. that doctors & psychiatrists can't be bothered to deal with correctly.

Autistics are very vengeful . They can’t view others unlike them as human . They deny their humanity

I was in a long term relationship with a guy on the spectrum. He was cute and highly intelligent and I put up with his bluntness and rudeness and social awkwardness because I felt sorry for him and I genuinely loved him, very much so. He had a few redeeming qualities. I was diagnosed with throat cancer. I was beside myself with worry. He dumped me three days before I was to have my throat operated on. He left the house and sent me a text saying I had issues and he never wanted to see me again. He hurt me more than the cancer. It still hurts. They have no feeling, no empathy (except for themselves) no conscience, they're not really human.

R139, I’m so sorry. What a colossal unfeeling, cruel asshole . Sadly, many are like him . I don’t trust a musk or Zuck for these reasons

thankyou r140

Is this a Kiwi Farms invasion of DL?

R142, autistic asshole

R142, Farmers are proudly autistic. This isn't their kind of thread.

I took a look at Kiwi Farms. If this is autism unchecked, it’s frightening how it magnifies when a group of them connect on a platform. They seem to go after designated targets viciously and relentlessly, and, being too tech savvy to be caught, it would probably take something BIG to take KF down. The likely scenario would involve a Farmer being overconfident and going after the wrong individual, (likely under the guise of their ACTUAL target in an attempt to get THAT person or group in deep trouble). I’d love to see an exposé about that site!

☝🏼 Their arrogance will be there downfall

R146 Musk is a great example of autism out of control, from his juvenile Halo gamer truck to his recent Twitter stunt. A six year old child in a man’s body.

R147, he is not alone . Autism with power is a scarefest

"Age of Aquarius" and "autistic" seem compatible.

This is from Wikipedia:
