If a medical professional was acting like they believed I was an addict, I would tell them to drug test me so they would move on from that possibility.


Hah!
That makes sense. Challenge them to test you and they move on.

. I won't stoop to their level and suggest that they're overdoing the stimulants. Haha! And you know what? One of the guys who recently accused me is on SOO many medications. Stimulants for Adhd, AND some weird s**t for anxiety (which he cannot stop) AND he's a chain smoker. It's weird how when peo...

Addicted to what?


They ask about everything.
They always assume I am lying because addicts lie.

Nothing I can say changes their mind because I get more and more stressed,
and that just makes them suspicious.

When asking for help or catching up with friends, people assume that because I don't have a wife and a lot of money, and I sometimes have sleep problems, I am an addict when in truth I am just trying to work through trauma and communication problems. It is really hard to maintain self-esteem when tr...

It's just a "love themed" version of black friday.

Commercial nonsense.

Yeah.. doctors and therapists are just people with labels and they are gonna get defensive.

I also had a social worker ask about my love life to "see if it was the same as on big bang theory".

I have heard local admirers of :

- Peron in Argentina
- Tito in Yugoslavia

Even some guy praised Stalin, but he was american and didn't live through soviet rule, so f**k that guy.

I think people can turn a blind eye to terrible things quite easily, especially if the government is actively trying to hide it. A benevolent, wise dictator is a very good form of government and this is what people hope for (but usually don't get). Fast, always does the right thing, no debates, no B...

I agree. I also think the expectation that we behave in a certain way is ugly. However there are a lot of uneducated people in the world, and many of those people cannot eat easily, let alone learn to be tolerant. So there are always going to be environments where masking will save you a lot of trou...

A lot of people in the healthcare field, when I am asking for support infantilise me and also use "empathetic language" which i find abusive because it makes you feel like everything is fine without actually doing anything. Eg: "I understand that.." "It can be hard to ...&qu...

Population growth is great for governments. More labour to pay tax to pay retirements. Many countries now have too many old people and not enough young people to support them. So there is this pressure from this source. Also there are old religious values, which I suppose might have been from the sa...

Don't call numbers.

Buy a tent and find a forest near a library.
People in shelters are dirty and unsafe, often alcoholics.
As an autistic you will probably be taken advantage of.

In theory, maybe. In practice, I have yet to see it. Seconded. In principle immigration is not tied to race, but people who tout these beliefs usually mean they don't like the (indians/chinese/portuguese/bolivian...) people who look different and take lower paid jobs because that's the only jobs pe...

I don't give money to panhandlers as a rule. It is usually either a scam of some sort or someone looking for drug money. I think you can tell the scammers from others pretty easily. Some people do legitimately need help. Sometimes autistic people end up in the streets and they need help, but they w...
