| I do not hate autism treatments. What I hate was that I have conditions that had nothing to do with autism, but blames autism for it. Then dismissed that I need an attitude change because "everyone suffers" or offer me antipsychotics because that's the first assumption in "treating au... |

To a version of me that could've been yet it didn't:
You could've saved my family.
And have the life I would've decided to have.
But fate decided...
That I couldn't be you.
I was robbed.
Did not matter why or how.
It is done.
I am here and you're not. |

| I'm more of the type who randomly laughs at random small things than randomly cry over it. I don't know. I cannot relate with crying because one is overwhelmed and a sight of some slight push someone into crying. However, I've yet to find someone who randomly laughs at just as very random small thin... |

| There's a good, good reason why I'm great with go-away skills than coping skills; Coping won't make me move. Coping won't put me closer to things that aligns my value. Because I value moving through. Hell, my values might as well be against the entire premise of coping skills itself. A good, good po... |

| ^ I can relate to the pain of snot problems very strongly after my recent experience, though that was only for a couple of days and I didn't expect it would become permanent, except in darker moments. And I could kind of breathe. I get the frustration, having all the potential to achieve great thin... |

An opportunity but...
It's fricking annoying.
Like, yeah, the time is OK, the setting is OK but...
In a middle of a nonsleep night, when I don't sleep so I won't be late for work?  |

Hell, even retaining obsessions and special interest no thanks to burning out. I'd take it. Yes, this could be more a... |

| Unlocking a possible route. But this also means losing one final yet crucial self identification I've been clutching since diagnosis. No, my goal is not to be an NT or stop being an ND. But be beyond that. Even if it meant the narrative that I may be NT and I might not be autistic. And I guess... I'... |

| Most forms of apathy doesn't mean thicker skin. Apathy is more like internalized contexts. That it's less about being hit and feel less to nothing and refusing to be moved -- that's more of being thick skinned -- and more like not being hit at all; at the core, whatever the concept of you and your e... |

| Personally, I do not cope and move on. It's either one or the other. How do you make this decision? There isn't much of a decision. It's not even a decision, it's just how I work. Most people cope and eventually move on. They still stay coping because they moved on. That's how they gradually integr... |
