"I’ve stopped saying I ‘have Autism’ – being autistic is brilliant, not a burden"

To be totally honest, I don’t like it. The cons have outweighed the pros and I have suffered a lot. I can get fleeting moments of pleasure related to it. But I know it’s all just bs. I resent this existence and I resent the set of requirements that society heavily implies I must meet in order to be ‘happy/satisfied/productive’. Especially now in this covid age, where I’m just supposed to accept the added risk of mixing because either 1) I’m supposed to be gormless and lax enough to just assume that no restrictions = it’s safe now, 2) ‘we’ have to live with it = ‘“la la la not listening, I cannot survive without my regular fomo bs gourmet burger, craft beer and bs smalltalk with fairweather friends’, and/or 3) “my work is not feasible unless I am present in person, so la la la, not listening!” People are s***. I’m out.

Your last line is so true, (and in "Casa Spergola" here, we say an even ruder version all the time) but never forget the unfortunate fact that the Venn diagram of "people" also includes YOU and ME. 

That being said, your line of thinking parallels my own, and I have to report that as I get older, I am getting happier as I solve the unique problems caused by my Autism, and can start to enjoy the increased sensitivity, abillity to communicate with animals etc.

The healthy (literally) reaction to covid, is to get away from the mainstream and go look at flccc website and take their advice. I was not offered a vaccination, and chose not to volunteer, for technical based personal reasons but I also did not want to get Covid, and for some reason all the joined up media seemed to suppress any useful prophylaxis or treatments in favour of a single apparently experimental novel injection.

I know it's tempting fate, but by simply increasing my vitamin d intake (daily oral spray, no nasty tablet) and improving my basic microbiological awareness and hygiene I've literally become the least "sickly" person I know!!

The vitamin D spray has transformed my oral health I haven;t had a spot or an infected cut or a cold etc for nearly three years now! It's a BIG change for me, and I like it very much. 

A contributory factor is that I no longer socialise unless I want to, and it turns out that I don't really want to meet new people that much. Although there's a few on this forum I would like to meet (or have had the ability to meet). 

The vaccines are not experimental. The RSA technology has been around for a while now… it may have seemed rushed but actually it was just a case of 1) them adapting existing technology to it and 2) the usual stop-start big gaps being eliminated to get those jabs approved quicker, without any shortcuts in the process/rigour. They know what their doing.

Unfortunately, they only reduce the risk. They don’t eliminate it. But humans gonna human. They obviously cannot do without their cavalcade of cartoonish consumer venues to feel like they’re living a worthwhile life.

As for vitamin D… good that it’s helping you get a balanced nutritional intake. But don’t kid yourself, it is by no means a covid defence. How could it be?

I believe I have the knowledge and process that has worked well for me personally during the Covid event and positioned me at all times where I need to be in terms of my own biological security and that of those with whom I interact.  

It differs from yours in several degrees of perspective admittedly, but I'm happy with it and enjoying improved health as a result of improving my knowledge and attitudes towards such things because I suddenly had to! 

Vitamin D clearly has a direct effect on how my body deals with certain issues, I've had three years of on/off testing, I know what it's doing for me. I learned about it from the FLCCC website, bought it tried it, derived a huge benefit. I want to share that positive experience with others.

I "friended" you a while ago it appears, which means you must have written something intelligent and honest and interesting to me. That we have what appears to be a widely different perception around Covid to my own, which could be a point of contention, but I am happy to read yours, when you express it and learn what I can.

In the sitcom "Friends" the friends are all very different people but share the same ideology, whereas in the world I experience, my friends seem an awful lot more similar to each other, but seem to have different ideologies!  

The world needs those other annoying gregarious disease raddled humans in order to deliver my pizza and internet, which does make them easier to like in aggregate... 

Getting back to your orginal point which IS important, you not liking your experience of Autism so far, can I ask (with no trace of any agenda) have you not experienced any "peaks" where your difference really worked for you?
