Re: Fandom and Anxiety

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.
