@GoldbergGomezM Ah, yes, lets support genetic reformation, selective pregnancies, and the dystopian society that follows afterwards. Let's further stigmatize being Autistic and raise that suicide rate.
It's not like other countries around the world already have issues with selective breeding.
Imagine being told something is wrong with you since the day you were born. doesn't feel too great. Now fast forward several decades. Massive improvements in research, and people still believe that Autism needs to be cured. It doesn't. Society needs to be cured. Society is broken
Yeah, I'm aware there's a ton of people out there who probably see my thought process as a problem. I'm sure many people with Autism would like to be "cured". But most of our problems stem from the fact that nobody tries to accept us, except us.
Autistic people are some of the kindest people in the world. We are some of the most beautiful minded thinkers who approach things outside of the box. 9/10 we get ignored. 9/10 we're told we're the problem. 9/10 we remain unheard and unappreciated for our efforts.
@FH2093317476874@AntonioTweets2 Is nonverbal communication any different from interacting with someone who is mute due to an accident or vow? I understand the struggle as I go nonverbal that last for up to several weeks depending on stress levels
I would ask that you refine what you consider is behavioral?
@Kurisu_Tweets isn't only like 8% of the twitch population streamers? Like. I have plenty of people active in my chat that have 0 followers and no streaming history, but I've known for more than 6 years.
@thisisjj13@AntonioTweets2 Do you treat mental illness by lobotomy? You used to. Its a funny thing when someone comments on something they dont understand with a completely unrelated response.
Autism doesn't need to be cured. You don't treat it with drugs. you treat it with /mental health support/
@AndyMace9@AntonioTweets2 I never said it was easy. There are tons of things to overcome. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of days I wish I wasn't. I am happy he's able to get along, and wish him luck on his journy.
I wanted a cure too, for a bit. Mostly, I just wanted to feel loved and understood.
@j_bradb@AntonioTweets2 then people have the fucking gaul to tell me that "I can work through it" and "Im not that bad" and "others have it worse". I have been struggling for 29 years. Most of my problems derive from societal expectations of me and social bias.
@j_bradb@AntonioTweets2 Do you have autism? I'm diagnosed level 3 Non functioning. I cannot work. I cannot eat, sleep, or think properly. I go nonverbal I cannot look people in the eyes. Do you know why? Society takes it upon themselves to make my life hell What I said is entirely accurate
