How is it inappropriate to remind you that I can function and work 40-60+ hours a week and don’t require taxpayer handouts?
MOST of the threads started by people seeking official diagnoses are so they can go get some sort of gov’t subsidy or handout of whatever kind because they are not able to function well enough to make it via their own ability to work & earn their way. That doesn’t apply to me.

Excuses, excuses, excuses.
Says the one who was offered any and all evidence he wanted, along with a $10,000.00 budget, as well as a personal invitation for dinner so he could observe me himself.

What a load of silly nonsense.

What the heck does having EzraS to dinner have anything to do with you getting tested or spending your research budget?

He is the chief skeptic/cynic, so I offered to let him set the parameters of proof. Pretty simple. But like it’s been made crystal clear: he’s not interested in proof that I’m sharing my truth, he simply wants to argue that I am not.

All he is saying is to parade your ideas around to someone who can actually do something useful with it. But before you can do that, you have to be scientifically verified as being what you say you are. You're sharing anecdotes, not verifiable truth, get into a reputable journal as a objectively studied case study.

The idea that someone has to come visit you to see your "parameters of proof" is completely absurd as I'm sure you're well aware of.
You have nothing to prove. The science stands alone without you. If you had never been born the science would still exist and be where it is right now. The choo choo would be going at the same speed, which you already know.
Someone observing you at dinner would just be more anecdotal-ness. Which you already know as well of course.

Sadly Ezra, all the logic in the world means nothing.

No I don’t have to be.
I told y’all pages ago I’ve already shared what I’ve learned with ASD researchers and will continue to. I simply informed them that I am self diagnosed just as I’ve been transparent here about. We still communicated back and forth just the same.

In that case, all this 10k and dinner nonsense is exactly that, nonsense. The only choo choo train that is in a state of runaway here is the B$ train.
