It's far more stress inducing and hard to cope with than being part of the severe mental illness and the high IQ communities.

I've just realsied that the NT 's give me guff generally for my Autism, but some strident members of this community gave me guff, then mangement effectvely ostacised me*, simply for being ME.
All my outgoing P.M's are being stopped all my posts are being delayed for about three days, so I can't function here, allthough I've not given up trying yet you'll notice. I'm not opposing the promised termination of my account on the ninth, as it will save me the mental energy of having to make the decision to leave, which I will have to do for obvious reasons, not least because the way my membership here is operating now is to use a buzz word, unsustainable.
You're effectively asking me to keep begging to be allowed to speak!!
I'm going to re-enter the NT community "as eccentric and possibly even a bit weird or crazy" it's a lot better than whatever this is. Especially now if things get eally gnarly or unreasonabel with the NT's I can play the Autism card as a last resort... I'll just use the knowledge I now have about Autism and how it presents to make sure things never get that bad.
Pro tip, from the 59 years I didn't know I had Autism and thought it was a level playing field:
If you feel a "meltdown" of some sort coming on, and you are surrounded by NT's, then just find an excuse, and relocate quickly, passing through several doorways if possible, (smoke break, toilet break, sudden illness, "mens problems" etc.) then return to the situation as soon as you have a plan, or figure out a good excuse for why you didn't come back. It's better to have peoel who are not close to you wonder what's wrong with you, than actually KNOW, I think.
You should see this in a few days...
