It doesn't come across too aggressive, and autism is different. You really have a different brain. That's not the same as people who are simply dealing with anxiety, which can only be tackled by facing the source of the anxiety.

No... that's not what an anxiety disorder is, my dude. People with anxiety disorders ALSO have different brains. Please stop trying to speak as if you know anything about it.

This anon is just going off because mental illness is just that easy to get over, but those pesky ones are just not trying hard enough.

This honestly reads as someone having a temper tantrum because no one comments on their fics, tbh.

[(Anonymous)]

Couldn't agree more.

I don't write fic.

This reads like someone who can't handle having a mirror held up to themselves trying to DARVO it back around.

Suuuuuure you don't. We all believe you, sweetie.

Let me ask you something: when you make comments like this, do you tell yourself that you're a good person? You're not. You know that, right? This is not the type of comment that a good person makes. It doesn't matter what you think of me; I may very well be a bad person. But you -- you don't think you are, despite behaving in manipulative, conniving ways.

Wow, didn't realize you were a mind reader, too! So accomplished! It's just amazing what you can be an expert in when you lie through your teeth about it. I'm starting to wonder if you've actually bought into your own lies...

Not in the way autism is, dude. We can alter our neural pathways; they can't.

Neither can people with anxiety disorders. It's why it's a DISORDER.

Receipt, because with the level of ignorance you're displaying, I knew I would need this: https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2009/12/brain-scans-show-distinctive-patterns-in-people-with-generalized-anxiety-disorder-in-stanford-study.html

And yet, we can change it. I too have a receipt. https://www.nature.com/articles/mp2016217

If that's your definition, then people with autism can too, and your original argument is invalid.

No, the thing is that my autism and anxiety are pretty intertwined, but also the anxiety generally has more of a detrimental impact on my life at this point. I know what does and doesn't mesh with my autism brain, I have that pretty much figured out, but the anxiety will a) feed off the negative autism shit I do have to deal with and b) cause a bunch of negative anxiety shit that has nothing to do with my autism but also increases the likelihood of the negative autism shit hitting me super hard. The anxiety isn't going away, I've been dealing with it as long as I can remember. Sometimes I have to push through it, obviously, but other times doing something that triggers my anxiety brain is optional and I choose not to do it because I know it will fuck up the next couple hours minimum. If something else happens, it'll just keep snowballing. Even if something else doesn't happen that messes badly with my brain, I'll still end up mentally exhausted.

I obviously don't have experience with having one Brain Thing rather than two or three, but I imagine that a similar kind of snowballing or exhaustion happens with anxiety. Yes, sometimes things that trigger anxiety brain are necessary or unnecessary but worth doing, but sometimes just sitting out an optional thing is actually necessary, and even if you could do it and manage it just sucks to be mentally exhausted enough for stuff you normally can push through without thinking about it fuck you up.

I wonder how this would have played out if we weren't in modern society. How do you think your life, or the lives of any of the extremely offended overly emotional people in this thread, would go if you were in a nomadic tribe?
