Do Some People Here Have Stockholm Syndrome?

Post Reply New Topic

Since I first became active on this forum, I have often found that whenever I or anyone else vents or voices their pain about how unfair society and neurotypicals can be, there is a good chance that other users with AS will either a) attack and/or vilify them for voicing said pain b) claim that said pain is insignificant compared to the starving children in Africa c) hypothesize that they will go on to be "an autistic Trump" who persecutes neurotypicals, all of which make the person venting their pain feel even worse about themselves than they did before they used this site. I am shocked, disgusted, and saddened by this behavior. I know some autistic people lack empathy or sympathy (although many have better empathy or sympathy than most neurotypicals), but what the hell kind of autistic person attacks and vilifies an autistic person for venting on a forum designated for help with autism? I mean, where else online can an autistic person vent about their problems? I don't necessarily believe that anyone here has Stockholm Syndrome, but it sure feels like it when some autistic people have lost their touch enough to understand how torturous the world can be for autistic people and use autistic forums to attack and vilify any autistic person who God forbid has the nerve to express how unfair their situation is, regardless of whether or not other people have it worse off than themselves.
