Entitled to what? free money? discount at the car wash? I see you like claiming things that I never said, who talked about deserving things or being entitled?
perhaps you do not grasp that autism impacts my writing and the level of pain I have in communicating, even this very comment. It causes me huge pain and suffering to have my brain touch the keyboard and compose English sentences.
Maybe you lack compassion for my suffering and you are a bully.
No, I never claimed that you said you were entitled. I claimed that you like using your autism as an excuse.
See? Why make yourself suffer?
Why do you deserve my compassion? You are literally hurting yourself by participating in discussions even when you claim, in your own words, "autism impacts my writing and the level of pain I have in communicating, even this very comment. It causes me huge pain and suffering to have my brain touch the keyboard and compose English sentences.". If it hurts so much, get offline.
you used the word entitled, or are you confused? Now you are saying it is an excuse?
It's a fact, it impacts my every word I'm typing on this keyboard, every single English word I speak, read, write, type, hear. It causes bullies and hate-filled people who hate human beings to flock to you to try to "correct" everything about your existence and behavior. Like you are doing.
Do you know the history of Autism in Nazi Europe where it started to get documented? Do you know how humans treat those with mental differences? Is it all your game to imply that love and kindness is shown towards those who speak and behave oddly?
that is all you car about, not having to encounter words you disagree with, to drive off human person you don't like. It's sad to see the popularity of people like you, Donald Trump likes to harm others and gets big crowds too.
If you willingly hurt yourself, or your brain, conversing online, then you shouldn't be using it as an excuse to get your point across. The advice was given, if it hurts, stop doing it, is that really that hard to explain?
to you, yes. As I don't think in flippant attempts to trivialize human beings and reduce things to simpleton answers for something they have struggled with each and every day of their life. It sure is easier to dehumanize me as you keep doing.
writing online is about the only thing in my life that I can do, despite the constant pain, and I'm near death. Once the writing goes, there is zero left, I'm not even really surviving.
Simon Baron-Cohen; July 1, 2003; "The Essential Difference: Male And Female Brains And The Truth About Autism", page 146 quote: "Another man with AS described his life in a very graphic way: 'Every day is like climbing Mount Everest in lead boots, covered in molasses. Every step in every part of my life is a struggle.'"
