I agree with Longman, this isn't about being rational, this is entirely about emotions and feeling safe.
How can someone be expected to constantly be rational when the other side of the argument is irrational and refuses to explain their actions?
I got diagnosed just shy of my 18th birthday with Aspergers. My whole life, its always been -my- fault that I reacted 'wrong'. It's -my- fault that 'I got my feelings hurt'. The attitude of the mods is that it's -our- fault for being upset and insinuating that we 'got our feelings hurt for no valid reason'.
But it's ok, they'll forgive us as long as we realise we're wrong (we're not) and do as we're told (why should we?)
I constantly feel that because I am an adult there are no services available to help me. They've all been cut. There's nothing out there to supply regular reassurance to solely adults, its just hoards of parents with autistic children picking us apart for help with their kids or to make themselves feel better. And the second we do something not NT we're persecuted and shunned for it.
I used to come on this forum to read responses by Longman, CC and others to be reassured I wasn't the only one thinking the way I thought, that my existance wasn't 'wrong'. Currently if you're not a savant with exceptional talents or are moderately capable of making a sandwich unsupervised you are left to fend for yourself with endless unrealistic expectations.
This was supposed to be a safe place from the NT world, now it isn't safe anymore. I feel like I've been evicted from my home with no warning and nowhere to go.
We forgave once, we didn't forget. To repeat the same actions and expect a different outcome is insanity.
