Disposable people...

Autism brings with it a certain amount of friction between us and the normies, O.K.

BUT I've been discarded by SO very many people as if I were a used tissue.

I've had a little cluster of it this month, so it's of particular interest to me this week.

I've been working the problem for a full half century now, and I still can't quite decide why I seem to be so "discardable".

I've tried being nice, useful, controlling, submissive, and simply being myself, during various decades, but every time just when I think I've managed to get a few people around me who I can trust, it seems I discover I was either being "used", or "tolerated" by someone and my time is up....

I've learned to live with it, and just treasure the people around me who are not currently rejecting me.

  • I definitely understand this. I have noticed I inadvertently get into conflicts with people who will suddenly act as if I have done something wrong or offended them, but won’t tell me why. If they do they make it into a really big deal. For instance I will suddenly be sent a massive wall of text explaining what I have done wrong. I don’t know if you have experienced this.
