Prosecuted and convicted for autistic actions. Nearly killed as a result

You want my advice? Take the bus in future.

I can be as nice as pie any given day, but I'm at a loss as to how I can remain kind and polite on this topic.

That you have the audacity to say that you want to help improve the laws for autistic people..

Your pension is reported to be £1,800,000 of which you lost around £300,000 from poor financial advice. Your business worth £2,000,000... you're still very well off, as is your wife (I checked company house)... getting a little difficult for me to sympathize with that level of greed.

If you want to help improve thing for autistic people, stop using it as a personal excuse for attempting to use tor for nefarious activities. Move on. Stop fueling this delusion.

I think you've articulated what most people reading these constant posts feel. This is straight from a classic Shakespearian tragedy, a character consumed by one of the seven deadly sins, making one bad choice after another in its pursuit, blind to the fact that they are the author of their own misfortune. 

I am totally absorbed in trying to stay alive and justice and have been nearly killed by this s.. The "victim" was never tried for starting all of this and made money out of it and avoided being examined in court for his professional negligence. My pensions solicitor has stated he would have been liable for some £1/2 million and causing my mental deterioration 

I"ve been en route to disaster since the financial advisor doomed me, much as I try to avoid it. I don't think you understand the full extent of Dr Pennebaker.

I was caught in an online trap on a scam false website. The information used by police was not written by me on the website. Scams are everywhere on the internet and I was caught in one, but the police would not admit it was scam with fake info. That was why the jury found me unanimously not guilty of the horrendous charge.

The police report even stated (3 weeks before I was nearly killed) that they were concerned that prosecution could kill me and they could not say what the website looked like when I accessed it.

They would have taken some £250,000 from me for the cybercrime police unit, if they got a guilty verdict

This is a thorny question, drawing the line between fighting your own corner as one should, and becoming a figure of "cartoon evil" in the process.

The courts system and other previously used social safeguards like "organised religion" are supposed to make it easy for us, to know when we are in the wrong and when we are in the right.

Knowing my own history and hearing what DaveAsperg chooses to share, reminds me of the many hideous injustices that have befallen me, and the even worse those mercifuly few times when I came to undertstand the part I had really played in my own downfall...

I'm a great believer in "reading the right book" as being better than "taking the right drug" to cure or at least treat mental health issues, and a recent recommendation from a forum member is proving most helpful to me in this regard. It's called "straight and crooked thinking". It might help you sort out the helpful from the unhelpful answers here, DaveAsperg.

The thing about getting help from a book, is that no-one has to know, and it's remarkably good value for money.  

I've not evaluated Dave Aspergs situation, outside of reading some threads where he mentions it. (To be fair to me, the "Critical thinking" part of my brain is maxed out already with other more immediately concerning matters) But I can see how strongly affected by his situation he is.

I have an ex-friend who used to talk very similarly to me for hours on the phone, along very similar lines, about how his great fight was progressing, and the players and principals, and how his great victory was just around the corner and what he would be doing then, but it seemed to consume him in self absorbtion, to the extent  that "conversation" was best held on hands free whilst doing something that required ones attention, maybe winding a transformer coil... He was utterly convinced that letting any personal happiness pass him by whilst studiously avoiding taking care of anything, including his own poor body, or contributing to group activities was the "way to go", and long after I tired of his selfishness, eventually I became annoying to him, and I was then able to end the "friendship".    

Dave sounds like he has relied on "professionals" to help manage his personal matters, rather than as tools to execute his commands, and has got the same results many patients get from their doctors, when they let them "manage your health". 

Health or wealth, DIY is best.

Dr Pennebaker advocates for expressive writing as a tool for putting grief and trauma into perspective. He points to journaling as a technique for life course correction. You have not changed course. You are still heading along the road to disaster.

We were working on the suicide prevention algorithm, which is now used by Facebook. The problem was how do safely help someone with an online scheme, who you identify as suicidal.

Identify a website that has declared itself a scam and use imagination 

Dr James Pennebaker has written much on this psychological technique , but it will only be believed by those with psychological expertise 

a doctor told you to go onto the Dark Web !  and locate a site for murderer people ! 

I am a doctor and was being seen weekly for 1 hour by many doctors who had advised me to do the things I was arrested for

we're not trying to be callous, we're just trying to point out that before all that happened, this wasn't an issue for you. I suggest you seek some professional counselling, and try to let go of what's happened and become of you. If your condition is really as serious as you make out, perhaps you would be better spending off your time enjoying what you have left.

Serious question, Dave. But have you had a mental health professional conduct a full mental health evaluation on you?

I ask because I notice that in every post you make about this issue (and these are the only posts you do make, by the way) in every post, there is a complete lack of awareness of (or inability to recognise) any wrongdoing on your part.  There is also a complete lack of empathy for anyone involved in the events other than yourself. In your version of the story, you are the victim of a crime at every stage, but everyone else is a perpetrator of a crime against you. Even now, long after the court case and your subsequent conviction, you still maintain that everyone involved had conspired against you—including the media, who you now claim to be working with.

Someone with even the smallest amount of self-awareness would be able to recognise some part of their behaviour that was wrong or misguided. Even if they believe they are innocent in the main. They will still be able to point to one action, one reaction, one behaviour that they would do differently because they recognise it was misguided or wrong. So far, you haven't done this. This is why the judge described you as self-absorbed in the extreme. 

And that's why I ask the question about a mental health evaluation. Whatever is causing you to behave like this, it is not autism. And it's wrong of you to try and justify pre-meditated criminal behaviour by dint of being autistic.
