Yes, honest communication must seem very weird when *everyone* does it the NT way, with all that misinformation, nastiness, suspicion, and every shade of dishonesty known to man. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

I hope you're wrong, but I see where you're coming from, and I understand. Your beliefs are your own, and that's important. I respect that, and wish you well.

Next thread on #AutismArtOfThePossible, with speaker Zahilah Filzah, who worked as a consultant paediatrician and advisor to the Court for Children in Malaysia.

She is the founder of The Ark Autism Centre, which supports autistic individuals and their families from low-income communities/

Gog is still there. It's the humans that are at fault. I was raised by cultists โ€” Roman Catholics. Some were Good People, but others... ๐Ÿ˜จ

So you're right to dismiss the cultists who are without care. True believers *CARE*. The rest are just loonies we're all better off without. ๐Ÿ‘

That's the thing. Autistic people usually have a very deeply felt longing for justice. Neurotypicals don't.

But many/most autists also have ADHD, even the "well documented" ones! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I have a formal diagnosis for autism, and my ADHD is self-diagnosed. There's little doubt, though. I only had to read @adhd_alien's cartoons on X/Twitter [sorry] to be sure. ๐Ÿ‘

I can vouch for this because the NHS only diagnosed me after they ruined my process the first time and it drove me to autistic meltdown and suicidal crisis.

A lifetime of persecution has broken me. I am now a rigid, aggressive, "severe" autistic who screams, cries + destroys things regularly.

They arrested and beat #Greta and her fellows! Why wasn't this on the news channels? Maybe because the media support the #genocide, and don't want to give protestors the publicity...? ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿคฏ

Yes, and I appreciate your position too. Being the NT (???) parent of an autist must be very hard โ€” autism is bl00dy weird! ๐Ÿ˜‰ It gives rise to such ... different thoughts and actions, sometimes. Good for you for trying so hard, and good luck! ๐Ÿ‘

Autism is not a set of external behaviours.

It's a fundamental neurological difference that can be visible or hidden, but you're Autistic regardless of which one you are.

Why do we need "intervention"?

Is it to start the indoctrination early, to stop us from expressing *ourselves*, and to pretend instead to be *someone else*, someone NTs might be willing to ACCEPT???

As yourself, you are REJECTED!

Well, yes. My autistic life has left me LONELY, and they're the only people worth talking to! The rest (NTs) are concerned only with blame, appearances, and other nasty trivia. ๐Ÿ˜

In 2001, a terror attack that killed thousands was used to justify the deaths of nearly a million Iraqis and Afghans.
In 2023, a terror attack that killed thousands is being used to justify genocide.

There are so many outside voices trying to convince you that youโ€™re not really autistic.
That youโ€™re exaggerating.
That youโ€™re doing fine.
That you donโ€™t โ€œlookโ€ it.

And after a while, those voices start living in your head.
Self doubt creeps in, whispering the same lies. 1/2

team and I were just blocked from accessing the Village of Broadview Municipal Building in Illinois. We were stopping for a quick bathroom break. This is a public building. The Village of Broadview receives at least $1 million in federal funding every year.

This is how JB Pritzker and his cronies treat our law enforcement. Absolutely shameful.
