Don’t poke the bear, people.
Asperger’s, borderline, anxiety, and antisocial traits.
It’s a confection wherein I have no chill. The patience burned up decades ago. At my core there is a cornered badger, claws ground sharp over decades of dealing with bullies and backstabbers of every stripe.
Supposedly autistic people cannot be antisocial. Supposedly. Abuse one long enough, and I assure you, it’s a possibility.

Maybe just think of yourself as a HUMAN instead of identifying as "autistic". Something I have had to face in my own identity is not labeling myself so extreme in my own ways.

Tell the rest of the species to stop calling me "weird", "flighty", "cold", "stupid", etc, etc.
The diagnosis is a great relief when you've spent your whole life being called other names. It's what I am. It makes me part of a huge online community, and it gets me the SSI and SSDI so that I don't have to deal with horrible coworkers any more.
I'm human. But I'm an autistic flavor of human.

Is it incorrect of me to interpret that as dismissive?
Deleted user Asenath Waite ⋅ February 05, 2023
No, you are not a person I can dismiss, because I have great respect and admiration for you. Sometimes I just say that in a light manner. If I did not like and care about you, if I felt like being rude to you, I would simply not associate I am not rude or shitty with people or dismissive of us is the last time I speak to them or deal with them I think you are a genuinely cool person, I enjoy how different we are. So in my light mannered way. Cheers.😊👍🏼🙏🏼

Song is okay. Different.
I've been trying to develop a softer heart over the years. No sense stressing yourself out. But I understand how someone can become entrenched with a feeling.
Kinda wish I had more for sharpened claws though, sometimes.

It's a curse. I've snapped at strangers, which is part of why I wear headphones in public, so I can't hear people. Too much abuse, for way too long. Hypervigilance is the term.

ya. I hear that. I think the U.S. in general is probably hazardous to anyone who's different and their health, especially if you're 'satanic' looking. I've barely been to the U.S., but I've seen TV.
