The Autism Deception.

Cancer doesn't have a "spectrum", and neither does diabetes, they either are or aren't. So why do we give validation to the myth of mental illness, and aspergers/autism? Is being different truly the same as being "mentally ill"? - I don't think so.

I hated school and the institutions, I always considered them to be bad, psychiatry is no exception, I think they're the biggest pill pushing group of crooks going. Always these people want to create problems where there are none in order to make a business and force us into social conformity or so called "normality", well screw society because I aint going to be "normal", because normal means destroying the planet and walking on others without consciousness, and if that's what's normal than I don't want to be part of it, and the psychs say I'm the crazy one, okay then... but I don't think so...

I don't want a job or to be a wage slave, I'm happy to not participate in society, I'd rather just play computer games and pretend the "real" world doesn't exist thanks, or if I'm not allowed then let me find a remote mountain of island to live on because I can't be bother with society, it's fake promises, and lies. Nobody is free, we're all just told that, and nobody is treated fairly, it's the rich and loud spoken who get their way, the rest of us are just cattle, and we don't matter apparently, we're just suppose to conform mindlessly and not complain. If we do complain or say we're tired of the rat race then we're mentally sick apparently, I hate the world, it's well screwed, and I thought I could make a difference here, perhaps I was mentally sick after all. I don't think so though, I think it is the planet which is sick with a disease called humanity. Who's with me?

    It is widely accepted that intelligence has a spectrum (measured by IQ) and nobody has a problem with that. The autistic spectrum is, to me, a similar concept that measures emotional/social intelligence/perceptive power. Some people are brilliant at it, most people are pretty average at it and if you are so bad at it, that you struggle to exist in society, then you need a diagnosis and access to whatever help you can get.

    Like intelligence, autism is partly determined by genes but its development into a problem is significantly influenced by the home and school environment. If you go to a good school you can make the most of your inate intelligence but the development of social intelligence is much more hit and miss so a lot of people struggle with life until they are dumped into adulthood with even less support and guidance as time goes on.
