Re: Fandom and Anxiety

[(Anonymous)]

Bullshit on little effort.

I was diagnosed at the highest functioning end of the spectrum at a young age and that took years of learning coping mechanisms, group therapy, medication, and active socialization to not stick out like a sore thumb in social situations and I still struggle with long term decisions and dealing with stress.

Exactly you are putting in a little effort so you can be normal and, this post sadly excepted, not expecting others to be the ones that have to accommodate your weirdness. That is all this redefinition has done. Acknowledged your small effort and that it is no longer appropriate to put up with special snowflake demands. All on you buddy, its all on you.

Except I don't even mention my diagnosis to people unanon and expect no special snowflake treatment, asshole.

DA

The people we are discussing feel they don't NEED to make an effort, though. In part because there is nothing actually wrong with them. So they get all the oppression olympics points, without doing ANY of the hard work you have, nor do they have to, because the people we are discussing don't actually have anything wrong with them; i.e., they did a ten-question quiz on the Internet and decided "I HAVE ASSBURGERS!"

The way it came off in the post was that it's easy to do a little effort and then you're cured for the rest of your life, which I was calling bullshit on. It's a condition that you have to actively improve on and even then you still have stuff that most people don't have to deal with. And it's pretty easy for people who are legitimately on the spectrum to use fandom as an escape to avoid improvement, because improvement can be fucking difficult sometimes.

And by all means call out people who fake being on the autism spectrum or use it as excuse or means to win an argument for something completely unrelated to to their diagnosis.

Also by in large my experience with fandom and the autism spectrum is that fandom attracts people who are legitimately diagnosed, but some of those people are not pleasant or easy to deal with. They're also probably a vocal minority because I feel most people who are diagnosed don't want to deal with the bullshit and idiots even mentioning autism brings (like this very thread shows.) I mean, yeah there's shitty trolls who road the Chris-chan bandwagon, but honestly I think most fandom people who mention being on the spectrum actually have some form of it.

Can I just say that the use of "assburgers" in this thread, including by you, not only makes you into an asshole on this thread but also really detracts from your legitimacy in talking about this? It just makes it look like you don't take mental illness seriously and would rather accidentally make fun of someone who has Asperger's than accidentally fail to mock someone who doesn't.

"Years of therapy and medication" doesn't sound like a "small effort" to me. How about you stop minimizing the real problems faced by the people whose conditions you so blithely dismiss and sneer at? C'mon, acting like a decent human being would only take a little effort to keep the rest of us from putting up with your special snowflake demands to be an asshole.

Re: Fandom and Anxiety

Ok if you're serious, you're an incredible asshole.

Re: Fandom and Anxiety

Funny how you talk about other people being assholes, when you're actually sounding like a massive one yourself.
