I've shown more compassion, openness, kindness, tolerance of cultures, etc, to ppl I've met than most neurotypicals I've ever known in my life. But I'm not great at socializing. Never have been. Doesn't mean I don't try. But there are more important things in life.
So, a lot of you are miserable because you won’t make a basic effort to be socially presentable. You think it’s beneath you to engage in small talk or show interest in the lives of others. Your refusal to be kind and attentive is a moral failing, and it will keep you lonely.

Look at this writing of mine: not at all what works here on this toxic forum. Too honest, too real, not at all the trendy shit people want here. Which gets back to the supposed "need" to be performative. I. can't. do. it. I can't pull it off. Despite trying for a loooong time.

"Your refusal to be kind and attentive is a moral failing, and it will keep you lonely." Implying that having a neurological tendency toward not being socially gregarious is "unkindness" is one of the most unkind things anyone has said about being autistic.

It means you live in an aurhoritarian political climate with a mob boss style leader.
When people in Washington lower their voices and say, “Please don’t use my name. I’m afraid he’ll come after my family’s livelihood,” it means something has broken. People no longer trust the law to protect them.

I remember when a friend of me told me everyone had an agenda and I was in disbelief. I didn’t understand the concept.
In Feng Shui, the fact that 80% of autistic people are bullied or used by 'friends' is because their mental layout is often an 'open Ming Tang (Bright Hall)'—no scheming, no defenses, straightforward. This extremely pure 'Qi field' easily attracts 'Robbing Wealth Afflictions' (people who plunder under the guise of friendship) and 'Hidden Arrow Afflictions' (betrayals from behind) in complex social Feng Shui. The post's grim data reminds us: 'Water that is too clear has no fish; a layout too open invites thieves.' Autistic individuals don't need to change their inner 'pure water quality,' but they must build a 'Xuan Guan (Spiritual Screen)' at their social boundaries. This screen acts as a 'buffer and filter': making the turbid energy of 'scheming' and 'calculating' detour at the door, allowing only the 'vital Qi' (true friends) tested by time to enter the inner chamber. Remember: Your kindness is expensive; it must have Feng Shui 'edges' and 'thresholds.' Don't let just anyone march straight into your natal layout.

Again, some sign of hope. Let those who would destroy lives because of skin colour be always in lesser numbers.
Its hard to undersell just how large the demonstration in Belfast was today. It was one of the largest demonstrations i've ever seen in the city.

Yeah, it couldn't be that humans as a species have a long, ugly history of being intolerant to the point of violence toward peoples who are different, including cultural, racial, gender, neurodivergency, ethnic, differences in religious beliefs.
sometimes i feel like the way people talk about autism on this website obscures the fact that it mostly makes you very bad at recognizing when something you’re doing is annoying

Data on homelessness is all over the place and not easily tweeted, but this report lists mental health and drug addiction as the *least* likely causes of homelessness. Most likely causes are: foreclosure, domestic violence, lack of affordable housing, unemployment and low wages.
Totally false. There IS a permanent underclass of mentally ill and addicts, but in fact a huge amount of homelessness is composed of ppl who were mid-class or even rich & had several catastrophes happen at once (usually 2 of: divorce, job loss, death, and/or serious illness)

Still some hope the far right won't get in power soon. Events recently of those thugs in Glasgow, beating on anyone not white was pure horror. Next year, French presidential elections, another test. Have to hold on that next UK gov won't go far right either. Not easy...
#Scotland — Neo-nazis were driven off the streets by boos during the mass anti-fascist demonstration in Glasgow.
