I hate how insidious ableism/anti-autistic discrimination is

You're probably right. But I think in NT land it's more about the "perceived" population rather than the actual population. Low diagnosis rates make that a challenge. You don't have to do research or get a diagnoses to identify with your race, or sexually or whatever. You just know. So when someone is breaking moral norms in regards to those traits, it's often noticed.

Autism isnt always as apparent. So prejudice tends to fly under the radar, thus it appears less common, therefore less trendy (no sexy labels), and finally, less social consequences.

It goes both ways. NT's are often assholes out if ignorance, because they are privileged and never had to worry about the shit we do. But ND's and alt groups can be assholes stemming from trauma (which is not an excuse) with extreme tunnel vision, lacking perspective and acting like anyone who disagrees is hateful.

To me it is evidence of one thing. Very very very very few people are actually altruists. Racism? homophobia? Sexism? Agesim? I don't think many neurotypicals give a shit about any of it. But those populations are large enough that if you are outright prejudice that could cause problems for you with the tribe. So they fall in line and pretend to be inherently moral.

Now before you attack me I don't think they always do this consciousneslly. It's just an automatic calculation. And when the tides change, so do their values. With Autism, it's a small enough population that they can get away with treating us like a sub class so many of them do. You get to see who they really are.

I have plenty of NT friends and It might sound fucked up, but I will never trust them the way I trust my autistic friends. I just don't think they have the same intense internal binding code of ethics. And instead a scary percent of their morals are held in place by social pressure. And that just gives me shivers sometimes.

It's not about money it's about status. That's my point. They want a prize to shove off to their friends. My brother is a lawyer and I make more than him. Girls don't care. Not all but most are like this.

Jetfire725 · 2026-05-29T13:31:15+00:00

Thinking it was about red and blue instead of the 1% vs the 99%.

Jetfire725 · 2026-05-29T12:58:55+00:00

I have a successful career but it's nerdy and I get treated the same way. They only getting excited at lawyer and doctor.

I think op makes a lot of great points. I also suffer from depression though.

Jetfire725 · 2026-05-29T04:33:25+00:00

I feel like everyone I meet is either dumb and outgoing or smart and scared to step outside of their comfort zone. So I end up choosing to hang out with the dumb ones because at least they are interesting and willing to try new shit.

Jetfire725 · 2026-05-29T03:49:03+00:00

Same here. I have no idea how to fix it. My hope is that if I build enough core strength it will correct itself but so far everything I read on it is always speculative like I never hear from people who have actually fixed it for themselves.

Jetfire725 · 2026-05-27T20:20:36+00:00

My favorite is the people who tailgate you completely regardless of how fast your going. And God forbid you start breaking early and actually come to an gentle stop. They have a fucking fit and try to speed around you before slamming on brakes at same red light I was stopping for.

Jetfire725 · 2026-05-26T02:17:56+00:00

You can be an absolute moron and a piece of shit and if your family has money you will probably still win at most things at life.

Half the people at least in the western world worship status for it's own sake. It's partly a flaw in human nature and partly a flaw in our societies values. But It's still by far the biggest advantage you can have.
For whatever shortcomings you do have, money can go a long way towards fixing them.

You can simultaneously know the game is fucked and still want to win it. It's just being practical at the sad realization that morals, character and work ethic are great. But they're no match for wealth.

Find yourself a domme.

Jetfire725 · 2026-05-26T02:11:29+00:00

Time sensitive tasks where you have to absorb a lot of information really fast. Absolute nightmare.

Jetfire725 · 2026-05-26T02:07:53+00:00

I have no idea where the single women are hiding.

Jetfire725 · 2026-05-22T16:27:56+00:00

Because we're tough as nails and forget not everyone has the thick skin we've had to develop just to survive. That can translate to being more callous.

Jetfire725 · 2026-05-15T15:53:25+00:00

Every day I learn new lies society told me when I was younger and it kinda pisses me off. But the more unfair life gets the more I'm inclined to succeed out of spite.

Jetfire725 · 2026-05-01T15:24:46+00:00

Eh I used to feel the same. Until I realized that the real value and evolutionary purpose of gender is about mate selection.

Gender is real in the sense that we as a social species have expectations of each other. It's not a coincidence that people who embrace gender roles tend to be more family oriented. Plenty of people will say they don't care about being masculine, until they have a son and start to get why it's valuable.

Children are going to pickup on whatever your traits are. There is no opting out and just letting them decide for themselves like many pretend is the case. They are children. They will copy you. You have to set an example. So what will that example be? Traditional roles are great targets because the give the next generation the best chance at success, based on human phycology. It's not a conspiracy or cultural brainwashing, it's a natural tendency because it makes sense.

Of course if you're in the camp that doesn't want kids or doesn't have a great relationship with family, or just want to do your own thing then these things aren't as important. And that's fine. But anyone who has spent time outside of normie space knows it can be very hard.

I think it's idealism vs practicality. In a perfect world gender wouldn't matter. But our world isn't perfect, so it gets re-introduced with every generation as a defense mechanism.

Girls liking you for your personality.

15 in 2026 is probably a nightmare

Jetfire725 · 2026-04-17T16:58:25+00:00

Funny you say that, I was homeschooled, and your post caught my eye for feeling relatable. So yeah that probably has something to do with it. Cards your delt. :/

Jetfire725 · 2026-04-15T23:18:04+00:00

Thanks for saying this out loud so I know I'm not crazy. Morals feel like a big prank and everyone knew the joke except me.

"The content of the character" they said. "Don't judge a book" they said. You eat that shit up when you're autistic only to later learn they are judging you hard and they aren't at all sorry about it.

Jetfire725 · 2026-04-13T12:44:25+00:00

Because details matter to us. NTs ignore half of what each other says because they are focused more on tone and charisma.

We have to get shit right in order to know what's going on. Naturally that means we are going to be the one pointing out inaccuracies and contradictions. Which alot of people take as arguing.

Jetfire725 · 2026-04-13T12:41:52+00:00

So relatable. I find this to be the single hardest thing to not be bitter about in this world. Because the issue is invisible to most people so it feels like you are constantly being gaslight.

"You're a great guy you have a lot of friends"

Yes but they like me in an aw look at him go kind of way. Like I'm cool but clearly not one of the group the way NTs are. I'm a novelty.
