I'm having some musings about the varying coping abilities on the spectrum. I have never approved of the way some people doubt the diagnosis of others, but I'm starting to have my own doubts about others too. Not in a real way -- I believe their diagnoses.
But it's just that some people seem to have just "licked" everything. Some people seem to have ZERO challenges anymore. Some people seem to HAVE NO "impairments."
Some people are so blissfully accomplished in having mastered everything that they now look down from lofty heights and assume that anyone posting that there is anything at all they struggle with because of the spectrum just must not be trying hard enough.
When they have no actual clue how valiantly hard some of those people probably do try, yet the reason they're POSTING about it is because they're not freaking perfect.
I am really sick of these astonishingly perfect people who think only in black and white about the ones who still are honest enough to describe struggles, believing that these people don't have any triumphs or skills at all, or that they haven't "learned" anything.
While conveniently overlooking other posts where it's clear that in some other matter that person has learned a very great deal and continues to do so. But no, they selectively focus on the thread where the person says there's an area of challenge. Screw the other thread where the person demonstrates effort and overcoming.
I@m sorry but I just really get angry at the sanctimonious BS on here sometimes. There are such well-functioning people here who think the rest of us aren't even trying, and that's BS. Get off your damn high horse, you know NOTHING about me.
Aimed at me..?
