the troll mentioned here sounds very familiar in persona and disability fraud/sympathy seeking and woudnt be at all surprised if the same guy is the one am about to write about.
this week is the first week have come back to wp after years away,as a support staff of mine is aspie and she was browsing it on her ipad and found out she was a member.
the reason had been away for so long is 'words'.
it started originaly with what support staff of mine said was called 'grooming of a vulnerable adult'. they had used the posts of mine here and on the blog to mimick the autism experiences and was being asked via pm what medications was on for behavior, what adaptions were used, what being severely autistic was like.
did not know there was anything unusual in that thought they were being a friend as they woud turn around and say they were on the same med or doing the same thing to [aka what had found out was called grooming],had thought they were a friend and was so chuffed because it was the first friend ever,he pretended to be a girl as well.
the bullying itself was vicious,it mainly focused around the fact am intelectualy disabled [its what LD/learning disability means here] under various sockpuppet accounts and he found all the forums was on because used to use the same nicks and emails due to routine,was unable to change them,so he woud start the same BS there,as well as threatening,abusing and slandering every day and register his sockpuppets to make it a hostile place.
he even used accute cryptic bullying and threatening on the bbcs old disability site and when eventualy had been supported to report it,they werent able to do anything because he wasnt using actual name but he was using personal things we had talked about in pm so there was no question who he was aiming his bullying, threats and libel at.
he woud ask on the blog under his 'friend' account or on here, how the bullying felt- straight after he had been doing it under the sockpuppets,but had not recognised that at the time.
it went on for several years,was been mentaly stripped away at every day,was called a ret*d and burden on society by him so often as he knew had been treated as such throughout entire life and they werent terms am comfortable with at all.
he even started using a method had later found out was called 'gaslighting',its when a person manipulates a victim of theirs and makes them think theyre going mental.
he woud copy words of mine and use them as his own,had noticed him saying things like mine had said on another thread,but at the time had thought it was because we related so well,he had actualy been copying and pasting the same thing and using the disabilities of mine for sympathy.
on every forum was on,everytime had looked for support, and only ever did that when desperate,he was on the forum as well and was copying and pasting the same thing only changing it to make it sound severer,and he used sockpuppets of his to drive attention to it, which meant users were not so interested in helping out the genuine issue he copied.
had started to notice this, and even showed sister, that almost imediately he will post exactly the same thing in a 'one upped' way, she didnt believe it until she saw it for herself,several times on different forums!
it was friends of mine on another forum who pointed out everything he was doing but at that point was in very deep mentaly.
had discovered he wasnt a girl,nor a friend and he was so toxic with jealousy and resentment of the fact am in residential care,in multiple specialist services,get high rate mobility of DLA and a blue badge-these are beyond the thinking of mine how anyone coud be jealous and resentful.
was suicidal,a lot more self injurous and am still stuck with hypertrophic scars all the way down veins trying to cut them over and over with the bits of metal had found,and also a permenent brain injury am still left with today.
the rest of the time was in profound mental agony,was catatonic as well and suffering seriously from visual,tactile and auditory halucinations,was living in delusion, was the stereotypical pyschotic we hear on the news,but luckily was in care and unable to do harm unlike those guys.
was told by doctors shoud have been sectioned but because of the issues have got from autism and the fact am already in secure residential care,it was ok at the moment.
it has taken around two years from then due to a horrible ex manager who was sacked- had relied on him to tell the pyschiatrist the mental symptoms but he told him it was all due to watching disney films and reading to much wikipedia.
have been getting worse and worse,and finaly a few months back had gotten a new LD-pyschologist and when she eventualy found out several weeks ago about the pyschosis side,she was shell shocked it had been left so long.
have had a clinical pre assessment interview done called the SCI-PANNSS, but she had to heavily adapt the language and wasnt able to complete it all, and am waiting to see the LD-pyschiatrist to finaly get medication,it has been a deep and dark hell,and am so so deeply guilty of being under the voices reality when am not lucid enough to realise the difference,the things that woud be doing if was living in the community has shocked hardened pyschologists am so disgusted with self.
although had originaly been diagnosed with pyschosis [ontop of severe major depressive disorder,which got medicated there and then],the pyschs say its actualy paranoid schizophrenia.
the bullying went on for so long for many different reasons, the online world is the only one that had that was interacting and communicating in,and it was the only place was able to get support because am not able to communicate for help nor know the steps required to,he slowly destroyed what effectively was life.
had began to uncover his trail of bullying and sockpuppets and am pretty damn good at spotting a liar now,but unfortunately because of him am now also incredibly cynical of people in case they might be a liar and its took this long to get back to speaking to people online again.
this is what cyber bullying does,am not a weak person nor was mentaly ill before the bullying,had actualy been recognised by old specialists as being easy going and having been invincible to mental health issues.
am actualy the developer of a secure social network for people with LD [intelectual disability] or specific learning difficulties with a large part of the WIP site being dedicated to cyber bullying against learning/developmentaly disabled adults because there is no support on it,we do not have the coping skills to deal with it like NTs have and are easy targets for pyschopaths like the one am writing about.
am running it with support of trafford social services; learning disability team and its also in the slow process of being merged with two small autism orgs.
