Scared about lockdown restrictions being lifted

Hi, I'm Chris and I'm new here.

I feel scared about the lifting of lockdown restrictions. I'm on the spectrum, I'm 53. With lockdown restrictions, I didn't have to deal with the outside world too much. But as lockdown restrictions are being eased, the impatience of everyone else is very scary. Are there any fellow autistics who feel the same as me. 

I am married with no children. I live in Bermondsey.

Thanks

  • I am actually very glad but not impressed that lockdown restrictions which were often illegal themselves are being erased The situation was not normal I wasn't even able to go to swimming pool and I've been once expelled from shopping mall because I was eating something from KFC The government in our country in Poland allowed themselves too much 9 months of house sitting i think it would be no exaggaration if i said that it is totalitarian state as I said i'm not impressed the covid restrictions should have been abolished completely and we should go back to normal lives it's horrible that they have taken our freedom completely and when they are giving us back only some of these freedoms people are so happy they forgot the freedoms they stolen from us in the first place

    This covid thing is bulshit for me and the restrictions are increadibly stupid covid is disease as any other it's terrible that people die but they die on other diseases and ilnesses too and noone cares about that what's more the covid is a virus celebrity it draggs so much attention that other ilnesses are often ignored like cancer heart ilnesses people are dying on that and no one cares because everyone pay attention to covid the stupid measures were taken before they start treat you they must check if you have covid and at this time you die stupid i don't wear a mask to spite the cynical government i don't care if it helps I don't have time for this and I advise you all to start normal lives Slight smile

  • This is an extremely dangerous message and should be deleted!! As someone who has seen, with their own eyes, what this virus can do, and who knows several doctors and nurses working on the front line, I can assure you that this is *not* like any other disease. I have no idea what the news has to say about this, as I don’t read/watch it, I get my information first hand. In the UK, there has been over 120,000 excess deaths. So, either there's a very busy assassin on the loose, or this virus is a deadly as the doctors and scientists are telling us. I know which I think is true! This kills in a horrible fashion, it is not a nice death. One literally drowns in their own bodily fluid (unless they're *lucky* and have a heart attack or die from one or more of their other organs shutting down). An ever increasing number of people who survive the virus will suffer lifelong chronic illnesses; not only respiratory based, but all the other major systems to, including neurological. To brag that you don't wear a mask just to spite your government is disgusting! What about the other innocent people you could have passed this deadly virus onto, just because you have a beef with your government? Other people obviously don't matter to you. Yes, there are other diseases, but they haven't killed anywhere near the same number of people in the same time frame! Don't give advice on something you obviously know nothing about, especially advice as dangerous as yours is! 

  • The poor poster is talking about being scared about the easing of lockdown restrictions and then you comment with a lot of very graphic, disturbing content about death and dying from Coronavirus. Do you really think that was an appropriate response to help the poster cope with his fear and uncertainty and protect his mental health?

  • I will continue to say that spreading dangerous views is not what this forum is about! (i.e, we shouldn't wear a mask, restrictions are stupid and most specifically, "I advise you all to start living your normal lives"). That is blatantly trying to draw people into dangerous practices. *You* may be intelligent, though I've yet to see proof, but there are many vulnerable people here who will follow the loudest people. Unfortunately, Covidiots tend to be the loudest out there! 

  • Wow. That is a long story! I wish you luck with your high functioning autism. 

  • Ha please

    Well thank you for such kindness but no offence I like and I sometimes did enjoy discussions about different subjects on the internet in this forum I can talk about autism stuff as well I sometimes care about politics and I am very aware person with good positions made I like tought situations and I can take a lot

  • No, I disagree with you entirely. You are bullying this young man and I will ask you to stop your comments immediately or I will signal them and you as abusive.

    You have no right to rant and rave at people on this forum because they have a different world view to yours. None whatsoever. 

    And in response to your nasty posts to this young man I will tell you as an educated adult that the only dangerous views I have witnessed are yours. You should be ashamed of yourself.

    Your ranting and bullying does nothing to change opinions. And what right have you to decide for educated adults like me what content we can see and which content is too dangerous for us to see?

    Stick to the topic or move along and go back to whatever you were doing and leave this young man alone. If you continue with your abusive trolling of this young man I will report you. 

  • Ha I thought you are actually talking to me so I responded earlier I didn't see you are saying a reply to her Slight smile

    Sometimes my brain works in a very strange way or maybe I'm just new here and I am not paying attention Slight smile

    Very great Slight smile

  • 0dd0ne sure we can disagree but why are you so willing to turn me off why don't you accept my different opinion can't we discuss like civilized people I accept your opinions whatever they are I would have accepted you even if you were a nazi or communist I'm very tolerant person I believe that we must be tolerant even to intolerant people because if they will not know the tolerance they will never change themselves however anyone is free no one can be forced to tolerate Slight smile

  • Maybe not I apologise actually if I done something wrong I am just very strong and fearless person maybe not anyone is like me I can operate very well even during total breakdown I have let's say moderate autism or some kind of strong asperger syndrome I was diagnosed early because my symptoms are quite clear fortunately i have no coexisting conditions like anxiety or panic attacks maybe unless sensory processing disorder that's common my mental well being is great and well I've gone through 3 years of school with no support and it was hell I've had even some PTSD flashbacks or nightmares and well I'm fine I've even learned calculus from high school I have elon musk kind mentality he is my idol anyway I will probably start a business and work 12 hours a day everyday because I can do it please be forgiving for my character I'm quite fearless person including about coronavirus

  • You obviously didn't read his comments thoroughly. HE kicked it off with spreading extremely dangerous views. Not dangerous to mental health, but physically dangerous! He blatantly broadcast that he hasn't, and won't, wear a mask (which has been proved to be effective at helping ease the spread) *just to spite his government*! The fact that it's not just HIS government, but it's worldwide, and anyone who thinks that every country in the world got together, put aside all their differences and ceased all wars, simply to unite against the worlds populous, obviously believes it's a conspiracy. And this is NOT the place for conspiracy theorists. If he was so worried about the easing of restrictions he wouldn't have been against them in the first place! They're there for a reason, not just to mess with a country's citizens! That sort of talk is wrong and should not be allowed in this forum!
