Angryhumanoid The autistic experience of being told the thing that happens to you and that feels especially bad or frustrating is normal, so STFU about it. As if finding shit everyone around you sees as normal insufferable isn't part of the autistic experience.
Are you seriously upset that nonautistic people have a similar negative experience as autistic people? What a wild thing to be angry about, autism or not
lostcarcosan@lemmy.today No. I'm not upset at all. Why do you choose to read my comment as I were? I thumbed my nose at someone who dripped in with nothing to contribute other than being a jerkass prick, but that's different from being upset.
Are you supporting the little whiny one?
@kichae@wanderingadventure.party the autistic experience of using a behavioral condition as an excuse to be an asshole. And to be clear I'm not saying you're an asshole because you allegedly have autism, I'm saying you're just a normal run of the mill asshole who wants to feel special about it.
Angryhumanoid Why? What have I done that is assholeish, other than point out that there might be a reason these posts keep coming up?
Whining about them seems like awfully fucking dickhead behaviour, though.
Ok Captain Trying-to-hard-to-pick-a-fight, I'll try to spell it out for you. Do you claim that people being repeatedly interrupted in conversation with others only happens to autistic people, or happens more frequently to autistic people, or that it happening is "harder" on an autistic person than it is on neurotypicals? If A, prove it. If B, prove it. If C, prove it.

No. And neither does OOP.
> or happens more frequently to autistic people
No. And neither does OOP.
> or that it happening is “harder” on an autistic person than it is on neurotypicals
No. And neither does OOP.
Now, did you jump into this thread just to Well, akshually, or did you have a real point that's of interest to the rest of the class? Because my issue here is that you seem to want to make the discussion about your disruptive smug fuckery, and think having that pointed out in any way makes the pointer an asshole.
Which makes you a colossal dickhead. And a troll.
Go back to harassing the goats on your bridge.
Well since you just blatantly lied about what was said in the original post I will no longer engage with you. I know you were kinda hoping I'd say something like that so you could try to play the "Well that's not exactly what they said" card but you'll have to play that card on someone else.
Asshole behavior that one might use autism as an excuse for in this post: not knowing when to enter a conversation. What a jerk.
