The world punishes autistic people for displaying their autistic traits, leading to masking even without interventions. Being rejected, marginalized, and receiving the constant message that everything that is intrinsic to them is wrong or unacceptable is a continuous source of trauma: society rarely produces non-traumatized autistics (emphasis added).
I am a 34 year old and have severe classic autism (among other psychiatric and physical issues). I have been so traumatized by society that I no longer really notice that I am alone (with my dog) most of the time; being alone is much, much easier than dealing with society. Can we just leave each other alone? I don't understand why NT's keep trying to cure me; can't they see that I am happier alone and with people like me? I'm sometimes forced to tell people that I like being autistic.
In fact, in some ways, societies for most part, in at least several centuries now, makes subclinically traumatized humans in general.
And these humans are told to get married and have children.
These parents will likely pass these traumas to their children, albeit unintentionally, because it's all they "know", it's what they grew up with with poorly defined contrast of what is healthy and what isn't.
So far, only a few realizes this cycle. But soon I'm sure everyone will keep up.
The difference between an NT from an ND could range from the latter having more energy and resources for coping skills to internal regulation and filters -- all in the name of some gradually growing societal measuring stick.
I know the side effects of "resilience", "productivity" and "adaptation" rather too well to not dismiss that something is wrong with most NTs, and only that it's more visible in NDs or NTs that are deemed "weak".
And regardless of neurology, most of the worldly "success" and prosperity lies in a person's environment.
Those who overcame their childhood issues and complexes?
They're either never had, only coped and covered up in order to function.
Or entirely rare altogether because of how the overall emotional intelligence works inside and out, along with it's clashing values and priority or whatever crap perpetuated in "real life".
Not sure who`s trying to cure a 34 year old with autism, if someone is giving you drugs against your consent you should report them to the police.
Most efforts at intervention are for young children, autistic people tend to become invisible after 18, usually dumped on disability welfare and left to rot in their parental home, until the inevitable time comes when the state has to take over.
I`m of course referring to the 90% of autistics that don’t appear on TV or work for as an app programer.
So usually the problem with autism in adulthood isn’t NTs working day & night to change us, its they don’t do anything at all, even the neurodiversity movement is a way to shut us up, a bit like putting a kid in front of a screen -
Your symptoms are something to celebrate!, this celebrity is showing what autism looks like, doesn’t look so bad, they don’t look like they are disabled or need much help, You must be great at maths, Why don’t you work for google blah blah blah
Many sides, many methods and same point -- to whatever means to "redeem" the disabled/labeled person into a person who is "worthy".
Children gets intervention because people want said children to be worthy of society by salvaging them out of the worthlessness that disability entails...
Disability is more of a misnomer though. More like inability to whatever standards that seem worthy.
Adults get medicated because some "well intentioned" people wants to redeem the poor ND regardless of said ND's choice.
The same can be said with people who deems adults as unredeemable and no longer worthy because they're past age where they're salvagable -- so they do nothing, make nothing for them.
And some NDs thought, 'we' wanna prove ourselves worthy or redeemable -- be it the idea around acceptance and the need to change -- i.e. having traits that redeems them, insist they are worthy regardless of traits, or the ability to change along with perseverance porn to have to prove to others we're worthy and redeemable.
The same can be said with seeking cure -- to some, in other to feel that they are worthy, they need to be cured inorder to be redeemed over whatever personal standards.
