    The medical system has failed me

    I think might have been considered disabled before then. They classified me as Asperger's when I was 11 or 12. My dad is retired from the Air Force. Yes, I would like to be walked through this.

    The medical system has failed me

    After so many years of dealing with the medical system, my conclusion is that it has failed me. I’ve been on so many anti-depression meds for so many years. This year was the worst in particular. They changed my anti-depressions back to Prozac, which I was on years ago and I didn’t noticed it...

    Comment by 'The Outsider' in 'I hate my life and society (part 1)'

    Finally, someone replied to this. My thoughts here are mostly in limbo with the limited amount of views this is getting. I would say more, but I keep getting this error: nflj_ams_please_enter_comment_with_no_more_than_x_characters Looks like I can't type much at all if I understand that...

    Are inclusivity rules in colleges harmful to Aspies?

    I do agree autism isn't an excuse for bigotry or lack of empathy, however what's considered bigotry can be highly subjective. The rules and speech codes are vague enough that so many things could be considered bigotry, especially toward minority groups. For example, Oxford University's comments...

    Are inclusivity rules in colleges harmful to Aspies?

    Here is an article a few months old that I found days ago and I feel it’s a pretty good read. The Neurodiversity Case for Free Speech - Quillette I feel this is a really good article that explains the struggles that Aspies face in a modern day college setting, but also people with some other...

    I hate my life and society (part 2)

    What annoys me the most is how freaking hard it is to cure this condition. What I mean is fully transitioning from one sex to another to the best of our current technology. When it comes to most mental conditions, society can fix or treat them at little to no cost, but not so for being...

    I hate my life and society (part 1)

    So this is just mostly going to be a lot of long rambling and ranting. I am sick and tired of life, especially society. It seems I only come to hate it more over time. I’ll even be bringing up the taboo subjects of religion and politics, because I feel I can’t get my points across without...

    The ramblings of an outsider

    So what is the mind like of someone who is fed up with life and society as a whole? This is where I'll post my thoughts.

    Sometimes I really hate being autistic

    I should really get back to replying to this topic now. My energy is so bad I barely felt like doing that much. I'm trying, I really am. It seems like my life has hit rock bottom despite how it could be even worse. Suddenly the anxiety is so bad that I lack the energy even for things I would...

    Sometimes I really hate being autistic

    I feel awful right about now. It’s like having Asperger’s has done more harm than good for me. I’m not saying this in an “I want to be cured” way, since that’s probably not an option anyway. Sometimes I feel Asperger’s is a gift and other times a burden. I feel it is very much a burden on me...

    "Where are you from?" annoys me

    One of the most common questions that will come up in small talk aside from "how are you doing?" and "how's the weather?" is the thread's name one. I don't ever recall asking someone that question myself because I simply don't care. Why is this such a common talking point for people? I mean does...

    Upsetting Words

    Actually, come to think of it, there is a word or rather specifically, a phase, that does bother me, person of color. This also includes people/woman/women of color. I don't know if I want to go as far as to call it upsetting, but bothersome is probably more like it. I find this phase annoying...

    What do you Youtube?

    I tend to watch a wide range of things, although mainly it comes down to some topics more than others. I sometimes put on dubstep videos to listen to in the background. When I'm actually watching videos, it will include things like specific video games, sometimes let's plays, and anti social...

    Upsetting Words

    I think context is very important with how words are used. Just me simply seeing or hearing a word isn't enough to trigger any sort of negative feelings in me unless the context is also there. No one can make me have a certain reaction to a mere word and I refuse to allow them that kind of power...

    Overwatch Portrayal of Autism has Room for Improvement

    I admit I was expecting that the article would be strongly in favor against Blizzard and that they were being bigots and all that. I'm used to reading articles that act like that to such an extent. For a company that is clearly working very hard to make a very diverse set of characters, I find...
