autism spectrum disorder - or nuerotypical spectrum disorder (nsd)

NAS72895

i am fed up with the stupid medical narrative of autism and autistic people. it's so negative and mostly based on observation of stressed white male autistic kids by phychaitrists.

the uk has removed autism from the list of mental disorders. but the US, WHO, along with other countries are still trying to "treat" it.

drives me mad. i am not fucking disordered non of us are. i've met "low functioning" autistic person and they are no different to "high functioning" ones like me. it's nonsense. and yes autism can sometimes be a medical disability but mostly it's a social one due to lack of acceptance, stereotypes, a negative narrative etc.

to help i've decided to create a new disorder based on observations. Nuerotypical Spectrum Disorder. Symptoms are severe in some cases and i recommend ABA - they bodies are inflexible, their sensory/motor system is broken and complete lack of empathy. small talk is one of the worst symptoms and leads to reduced mental capacity and lower productivity. walking gait is rigid and behavioural therapy needs to be used. bullying is common, along with shallowness and lack of interests. in addition, they create societal "ranks" based on wealth and status. abnormal eye gestures, posture, communication issues (lack of clarity), are pervasive.

Normal autistic  humans do not seem to suffer from these issues.

how about it? what other symptoms are there which  needs treatment?

i know i'm not the first person to put it into perspective like this but still therapeutic for me! and this perpetive is imo, the most important one for autistic people, as it "bounces" stigma back and helps with being and staying unmasked.

and this is a semi joke for anyone worried!

  • This is great. There is a ranking system other people go by can lead to a lot of bullying, and I just don't get it. I just see the bullying as chaotic and not normal, and yet they try to push me into this ranking system that I don't personally care about or put much value in, and if I choose to follow it they'll push me into last place, because whoever was in the system before me will sure not want to be in last place, and I'll be treated like garbage.

    They are always comparing themselves to others, about who's better and who's worse, but for me I only concentrate on what I am doing, my value comes from within, not from what others try to rank me as.

    I mean when I was a child I'd let others win races and competitions because it seemed to make them happy (and because I didn't care about ranks or about winning and losing), but then the winners would do horrible things like talk trash and they'd rubbed winning in my face and put me down, and I realized what a-holes their egos are.

    So then I won at something to see if they'd just be happy for me, and they just gave me sour angry looks (which I now know is called envy), and they'd say things like "you're just bragging! You just think you're just better than everyone!" and horrible things like that, or they looked very depressed when they have lost, and I felt bad no matter what I tried to do. 

    But now I know that it's because they compare themselves with others, they have this ranking system that seems systematic on the surface, but it's just so chaotic deep down. Their happiness and self-worth is based on conditions being met (they win or lose, they get a lot of money or no money, they look high status or low status, good or bad), this is all conditional love, which is like "I'll only be valuable IF this list of conditions are fulfilled, then I'll know my value in life." So they just follow, they just chase.

    I've realized that people need to honor their own intrinsic value that comes from their core. You will have your own motivations, dreams, struggles, and things that make you happy and sad, but concentrate on what your abilities are, and someone else can concentrate on the abilities they have, and hopefully people can fulfill their dreams and the world can be a more interesting place. Ideally this would be much better than the ranking system, where things like "small talk" is highly prized, yet it's just meaningless meanderings that is quite pointless, but neurotypicals seem to enjoy it because having attention placed on them is valued in the ranking system.

    exactly! when i was "intergrated" and masking - i saw all this. my mask even started being nasty to others to "fit in". aweful 

  • kinda true though... i mean how are we the disabled ones when our problems stem from the so called normal folk and them being intolerant and weird.

    more symptoms for them, they dont think for themselves, they are very sheep like and flock in herds. they will toss away any sense of their own morals and ethics and instead copy off the leader of whatever herd they picked to follow and thus their morals become that of the leaders. and the leader is always a unethical bad person who treats everyone like ***, and so the entire herd copies that and too treats people like ***. they tend to use treating people poorly as a way to elevate themselves up a social ladder, as if treating people *** somehow allowes them to step on your back to upgrade themselves in their little clique herd they adopted.
