Life is hard

I find life as an adult on the spectrum extremely difficult.

It doesn't help that there's no support for adults. Go for support and then they set mental health services on you.

I wish there was proper support out there for autism.

I wish life was easier.

  • Nobody's giving me any support. And mental health services aren't interested in helping me either. It's not that they're under-funded or anything; they don't even try to help!

    Can I ask what you expect that support to look like please?

    I think you will find they do have very little funding for the volume of support that the community needs. I believe part of that is them not being able to recruit and train staff in the volumes they need because of the low salaries offered and the pressures that these jobs bring.

    In the scale of needs, the "low requirements"  or "high functioning" or "aspergers" (chose the label you prefer) people on the spectrum have largely got the capacity to self support if they apply themselves, so are largely de-prioritised by the support services.

    Not everybody has this capacity I realise but as a group we are probably low on the priority list for them and with good reason. Those with physical needs and much higher support requirements are the ones who should get the limited resources available.

    I know this opinion will not be a popular one, but it makes sense when you take others in higher levels of need into consideration.

  • If I were a paraplegic with down syndrome who also happened to be autistic, I think some support would be there but then again [removed by mod].

  • 1. You have the names, I invite you to do your own research, as knowledge you acquire for yourself is harder to dismiss out of hand, and the knowledge that you or any other diligent student after the truth might acquire I found causes cognitive dissonance and can be upsetting. 

    2. Shaping and influence european and other  societies, without having our informed consent and a mandate from us to lead these changes.. I've been working the problem of how do we stop this process for over twenty years, because it is a "fixing" type of problem, and those interest me. Essentially the solution I believe is not to invent new "truths", every six but focus on getting better at recognising and living in the one real underlying truth. OR as a very underrated saying pithily puts it, "Keep it real, folks" 

    3. Our current society. the fact that so many people now utterly believe the most wild and patently false conspiracy theories, because they simply lack critical thinking skills, which are an essential survival tool, and when they find out that outsourcing their thinking to "authorities" has led to them accepting a whole load of poisonous hogwash, suddenly find themselves cast adrift from reality even further! Because the whistleblower/alt knowledge field is just as infected with lies as the mainstream, people who lack critical thinking skills just swap one set of lies for another.. 

    4. No, and I thought only one of the two progressive thinkers I mentioned was "Jewish" (whatever that might actually mean) Although Barbra Lerner Spectre is super clear about what she thinks and explains how she sees the Jewish role in our problems, it's the systemic and organised dismantling of our way of life, and our casual acceptance of that which I find of particular significance, and the sneaky way it has been done which I find objectionable. If the leaders I cited happen really be both Jewish, well that's just a cohencidence!

    Keep asking questions and trying to get to the truth, and an awful lot of human current events start to make a lot more sense. The trick is not to lose your objectivity and fall into blamecasting, hatred or victimisation. We ALL make this world what it is, and the one thing that the "commies" have right, is that improving it will be take a  collective effort, But for all of us to play a part we ALL need to play a part, not outsource the effort to a few heirophants and then just slavishly obey their directions without further consideration.. 

  • the experiments being carried out by Barbara Lerner specter, Yuval Harari, and their ilk on our societies (why do we let them?) will start to bear less poisonous fruit than I've observed so far...

    Expand and explain please.

    I've gauged from reading their bios that they are both Jewish but I'm not sure what else includes them in your term 'their ilk'?

    So, I'd like to know please:

    1.  What are the 'experiments'?

    2.  What it is we are 'letting' them do, and how we can stop them, if required?

    3.  What is the 'poisonous fruit'?

    4.  Is their being Jewish of significance in your singling them out?
