Neurotypical's Guide to Autism
It’s like this groupie:
Autistic people are all different. You can say the same, but to us you all pretty much look the same. However, there is something general that autistic people have in common:
We are extraordinarily sensitive to subtle stimulus you likely ignore, find negligible, and are not concerned by. This may not seem like a big deal to you, but I assure you the problem is very severe. If you felt this kind of discomfort, you would not think it “trivial”, “negligible”, or otherwise easy to ignore.
That difference changes our value judgments so that many normal goods become less important or good because the subtle problems are worse than the good. Thus, we tend to separate from the groupies who tolerate what we find intolerable. You do normal things I find horridly unpleasant, and I go to greater efforts to do good things you think are too much effort and would rather ignore the subtle shite you don’t notice than do any actual labor.
I don’t give a fuck. You people are extremely hateful, hostile, and physically agressive to me because I am autistic, and I am not going to be nice to you. I am going to show you that disabled people have rights in civilization just as privileged people do, and those rights will crush you savage, ungrateful numbskulls like bugs in a court of law.
That’s about all you need to know. So when you turn on that bull shit “suppression field” or whatever you call your EMF torture device intended to oppress people and manipulate populations, it is extremely noticeable to me and I do not like it. It is so noticeable, I am going to uproot your entire conspiracy just to make it stop with out giving any fucks to why you think you need to use such an evil thing.
Imagine if that was happening.
Is that legal?
No. Obviously not. That is abominably criminal, inhumane, and monstrous.
Is that actually happening?
Yes.
You are going to be crushed like insects and all of your conspiracy will be uprooted with all of your minions thrown in prison.
That’s one of the things that makes you bullies so horrible to us and why you enjoy bullying us so much. Those little things you think are little things are not so little to us, and it’s not because we can’t handle what you can that you think you can mock us over and torture us with. It’s because that thing is very unpleasant to us and interferes with everything we do because of how much the discomfort distracts with anything and everything, including basic life needs. Normally you are not needed to accomodate us for something like this, because we can just make a private modification to our clothing, choose our preferences with more importance for some things, and avoid what is problematic, and you might not ever notice the problem. That is one thing, but there is also a cognitive dissonance that causes us mental and emotional stress when we notice it. Why? I don’t know. I’m not a psychologist specializing in mental disorder pathology, psychiatrist with expert knowledge about neurology as it pertains to consciousness and stimulus, or some other scientific medical specialist who would be better able to tell you why.
I am capable of writing words that are reasonable, clear, and understandable in regard to very difficult things to explain, and I am pleased to say that is actually rather useful, I would think. In any case, I imagine it is similar to PTSD with a trigger response that is much less extreme. For whatever reason, those cognitive dissonance triggers subtle discomforts for most people which they ignore, accept as an unavoidable consequence for a greater good, and ignore. While that may be true at the beginning, I think that problem tends to get worse because people ignore it and then gain a maladaptive response to disregard the problem as not a problem at all, when the problem hasn’t changed and does in fact still exist for the same reasons that were problematic at the beginning. That maladaption then leads to decisions that do not factor the problem into the decision making process when it should be and result in making it worse and causing much more consequences that could be avoided if the original problem was considered in relation to them, and in fact those consequences are far worse than what the cost would be to address the initial problem.
There is a well known autistic woman named Mary Temple Grandin, who studied animal behavior and has made substantial contributions to improving the humane treatment of livestock and improved the industry overall with her contributions that have had both direct and indirect positive results.
Do you see where I am going with this? There is already a problem with livestock agriculture that we accept as a necessary consequence of agriculture, and I insist that you do not call that evil. It is not evil when a snake eats a mouse or a man eats a cow, that is just nature. However, it is a problem because we love our livestock and its normal for people to feel sad or upset when they are killed and then turned into a steak that they eat anyway and forget about how sad they are. That is a problem, but it is one we live with, and why some people are better suited for— “slaughterer” is the designation? — I’m changing that. “Slaughter” as a word has other connotations, and they need a more dignified title that is less crude. Some people are better suited for livestock… murder. Just kidding. Livestock… processing doesn’t sound cool enough. Livestock… cleaning.
There. That’s what you call it when you hunt and gut a deer, and it is a good word to describe what is being done to dirty, scary work people would think is evil if they didn’t know better. That which could be “evil” if you were killing humans or random animals without a reason, is being “cleaned” to be good enough for human consumption. They are technically removing sin from the act of eating meat, and that is holy work that both a hunter and a farmer does for the greater good. That’s an good and noble profession, and why you trust good people to do it, but they don’t need much in the way of required qualifications to be capable of learning the profession. They should be trained and not allowed to just do the job without special instructions to be efficient, effective, and humane, trained how to use the tools for job safely, and given practice with supervision until they demonstrate their ability to be successful without supervision, but I doubt you need a college degree in agriculture to be able to do that kind of work, but that’s not different from the fact that you don’t need a college degree to repair expensive, highly complicated machines. You would need the agriculture degree to be the boss of the entire livestock process from purchase, growth, care, breeding, cleaning, sale, etc. but any one of those they could probably teach you what was necessary if you had a mind to learn. Not back in the day, but now it is a lot more complicated than before, and I would expect that if I were going to hire someone to manage my cattle farm, and I would hire someone else to manage my crops.
Anyway there we go, that problem is solved with the right word now and which I have clarified with the divine authority invested in me because of whatever reason I have divine authority. The “cleaning” is what makes that not a problem. I think that is probably the practical link between ancient pagan religion and ancient monotheistic religion. That’s why you shouldn’t be antagonistic to polytheists. The monotheist may run the entire estate as lord accountable to the king, but they polytheist has a dynamic world of innumerable realms within those singular concepts that need to function in harmony with the singular concept. There is no reason to be hostile to eachother. Just as some people prefer to serve in a military as an officer, others prefer to serve as enlisted, and there is no difference in their human value for that preference. I suppose it all depends on personal identity. Some people want to keep their hands clean, and some people want get their hands dirty, and why? Idk and idc. We both have equal rights no matter our race, religion, or blood type. Pros and cons I guess, personal values, life circumstances…
So it’s like that, if you think you can ignore the problem of it being upsetting to kill and eat animals when you love animals, life, and care about all creatures because they are all good in their own way, then maybe things got out of hand and they invented ways that made it easier to kill animals but made the problem of why it is unpleasant to kill them worse because animals were unhappy, scared, or caused unnecessary pain, which includes psychological pain relative to an animal’s mind. This maybe caused consequences that were both direct and indirect and someone autistic noticed, and found intolerably upsetting for the distress they personally felt about what they cannot ignore. Their cognition is being triggered with a negative stress response, which although isn’t immediately traumatic, can be traumatizing over time, the same way smoking cigarettes causes trauma to the lungs over time, except perhaps result in greater mental health disabilities to include diagnosable autism that was previously unidentified because of new symptoms that are manifesting. Idk, just a rough hypothesis.
The point is that just because you don’t notice the problem the way someone else is, does not mean the problem doesn’t exist, which is why it is most important to listen clearly and carefully to what is being explained so you can understand the problem without feeling it. If they have trouble explaining, do not disregard their problem as non-existent, because you likely have the authority to do something about it and they are not the only ones suffering, but even if they are, you should help them if you can. Please make an effort to understand, find someone else who can facilitate communication, and try to find a solution that works best. You will be glad you went through that extra effort later.
So idk what to tell you. All of my life circumcisers were negative influences to me with their presence, energy, and passive hostility. Over time I naturally avoided that problem to be away from the stressor because it seemed like something I simply had to accept in life, and I couldn’t even identify what the stressor was as a child. I didn’t know. Then I became an adult, joined the Navy, was just as weird as I’ve always been without being a problem, and then struck out on my own, and it was like… that problem became hyper focused on me like a god damned concentrated laser beam, and I knew exactly what was happening.
That is intolerable to me. Just because you people have gone on to tolerate the problem that circumcising a child is, because that is a problem and you should not feel okay about that, does not mean you can make the problem worse by doing what you are doing with circumcision now that you are ignoring that as a problem with a maladaptation that disregards the negative stimulus to your consciousness that problem evokes.
I don’t give a shit what you think you have the authority to do, how insignificant you think I am, or why you think you are entitled to do what you are doing, but I cannot live with the suffering you are causing me. I am autistic. It fucks with my mind a lot more than I think you realize. I simply cannot live a normal life while I am experiencing that discomfort, so I am going to solve the problem and make that discomfort go away with an agreeable solution that is reasonable, good, effective, without cost, and simply the right thing to do. However, to do that, you are going to have to acknowledge the original problem your maladaptation is ignoring, because guess what that problem is dissonant with: human rights. If you ignore that problem, then the entire concept of human rights becomes corrupted with that dissonance and you lose accurate and reliable judgment about matters concerning human rights, which are universal and most vital to government purpose and a prosperous civilization.
Don’t freak out about what needs to happen because you are afraid of what you are ignoring. You need to acknowledge that, face that fear, and resolve it or your problems will only get worse until civilization is no longer protecting human beings and becomes anarchy, chaos, and returns back to tribal systems of brute tyrants, kings, and survivors. All will be fighting over dwindling resources that are not being replenished without a lawful society and efficient government.
You do not realize yet how fucked you people are. You’re like:
“Well if you are Christ then where is your lightning bolts as you fly out of the sky and destroy everything with magic god powers?”
You think I can’t do everything necessary alone and without help, and thus are testing me as some kind of mythical miracle worker you want to see the impossible from? I can do everything, but I don’t need that supernatural bull shit. All I need is human ability and I will go through every single on of your offices, give the orders necessary, sign the papers, ask the questions, and not stop until everything is done, because that is all the power that is needed to save everyone. However, I expect a lot of people are going to be upset that I am doing their job for them when they are hired to be doing that job, went to fancy ivy league schools, and worked for decades to have the experience for that job. I don’t know why they didn’t do their own jobs, but the people who employ them, all the citizens, will have every right to be mad that they are not doing the jobs they are employed to do. At the very least, I expect them to be fired, but considering that I am the Christ, they are denying me, and they are government leaders in a time of war, I demand they be given the death penalty as is just and right for their conduct.
If I need to turn on the cameras myself, walk back around in front of them, say what is necessary, send it to everyone’s tv, I will, but why the fuck are all of you going to be standing around while the Christ does all of your jobs and you test whether or not he is a human being capable of human actions? Are you not embarrassed to be seen by the Christ avoiding work like that? Who pays you? Tax payers? Is the Christ not a tax payer and a veteran who secures our national borders? So what is he going to think about you not doing what he employs you to do and instead has to personally leave his private residence, his throne of heaven, and go all the way down to your miserable little office in the world and do your work himself. I expect he will want to punish you the same way I do.
