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

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

Dave. Of course it isn't criminal to ask for help, before nearly being killed. But as you must know when you ask for help there is no guarantee you will get it. Or even if you get help that it will be the help you need. 

I keenly understand that if you've veen putting in 100 hour weeks you have seriously neglected many aspects of your life narrowing your pursuits to a single goal. If youve been frustrated in that, it can be an unhinging experience.

Whilst you breathe you always have choices. Perhaps over the course of these next few weeks we can help you clarify your choices, find your best path and strategies to "pick better" next time?

If you have as someone suggested some "money and assets" left, you might be able to easily find some other more fun games to play. I personally am not entirely sure that money is the panacea some think, but it does give the thinking man more options to choose from... 

Bravo!

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.

The financial advisor was just supposed to tell me the tax entitlement I had with my NHS pension, nothing to do with stock markets. He just had to give safe advice. I should have taken his company to court like Noel Edmonds and Cliff did.

My wealth building was doing vast numbers of working and saving, rarely going on holiday and hardly seeing my family as doing 100 hour working weeks

I can see your interpretation denies all my hard work and generosity to others, but all that know me appreciate me

No one has answered my question as to whether it is criminal to ask for help, before being nearly killed??

Well if I die my rant is all on here

You managed to communicate well enough to forge a career as a GP and maintain it until retirement. You managed to communicate well enough to build sizeable wealth, and then to employ a financial advisor to play the stock markets and avoid paying tax on your pension fund. I'd say all these things require advanced communication skills.

You can see how it's difficult for people to listen to your account of events and then buy into your defense of autism as being the cause of your wrongdoing?

If you really want to help autistic people, stop using autism as an excuse for your criminal behaviour, and more importantly, get on with your life, learn from your mistakes. That's the single best way of helping autistic people. Be a beacon of hope and redemption, rather than a flickering ember of rancour and self-delusion. It doesn't require much brainpower, but it does require a lot of soul power.

Move on, Dave. Give up the images and emotions, the grudges and fears, the blame and disappointment of the past.

I think you should consider counselling and look at how you can look forward in your life instead of being fixated on the past and things you no longer have any control over. 

Implied threat of suicide, when asking for help, just before I nearly died from a non suicidal event , left disabled 

it is helpful to realise how differently some people evaluate information on here, so care needs to be taken with the media editing their interview with me as I don’t communicate well… as an autistic person 

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.

I did exactly as instructed by the financial advisor, who took 3 months to instruct me, cancelled 3 appointments etc etc

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 

☕Tassimo ☕ said:

'You became self-absorbed in the extreme. You became obsessed with your own feelings and what would make you feel better and not anyone else's feelings, including your victim's.'

And still it continues, Dave. The same behaviours playing out. 

You paid for expensive financial advice to play the system and avoid paying tax on your pension. You failed to follow the advice, and as a result paid out the tax you were hoping to avoid (and possibly more). This is a common practice for wealthy people. They pay for expensive financial advice in order to hold on to as much as their wealth as possible. In your case, you screwed up by not following the advice properly. You then became obsessed with your financial loss. Ashamed and angry, your arrogance lead you to construct an erroneous narrative in which your financial loss was a result not of your negligence, but that of others. Committed to this delusion, you experienced psychosis. And proceeded to stalk the financial advisor, and the company he worked, for to such an extent that they were forced to prosecute you, and you were convicted. Just as you blamed your financial advisor for your mistakes, you then continued to to blame the media, your GPs, your psychologists, the police, the Samaritans... everyone apart from yourself. In your delusion, you absolve yourself of any personal agency.

This has nothing to do with autism, Dave. It has a lot to do with either extreme arrogance or psychopathy. Only a medical expert would be able to distinguish. The judge and the jury, upon hearing the actual evidence, went for extreme arrogance.

You have everything at your disposal to turn your life around, put the past behind you, and lead a happy and fulfilling life. It really would be a tragedy if the final chapter of your time on Earth ends in self-pity, bitterness and rancour. 

Every day is a chance to start over. Do it. Because we never know how many days we have left.

i think it is unfair that your victim is not here to refute what you are saying.

get another doctor ,,,,, you have the money to do so ,,, right ? 

what where you found guilty off ?  

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

Not one word about my autism in any media report,

Not one word about my near death and major disabilities in any of the court journalism.

Lots about allegations that i was found unanimously not guilty of.

Fair journalism? 

Done that but it made matters worse

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
