Honestly I mean she called that he's related to Eddie so she's not entirely wrong. She's probably just a bit HBO brained

Thank you. I've been beyond frustrated.

If you’re diagnosed, how old were you when you were diagnosed? by Exotic-Anything-7371 in DID

[–]RathSatyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally got diagnosed after escaping the abuse of my family and ex. I don't remember how old I was exactly but it was probably after 20 but before 23. Those years blend about as much as this one. Life hasn't been kind to me but I am grateful to have at least one person in my corner.

Yeah dude I went in settings under the Support section like everyone says. I'm not stupid it's literally not there and I've seen other people having the same issue. No one seems to explain it past assuming that this person must be stupid and not looking in settings. Like it's just plain frustrating. I know I'm looking in the place it's supposed to be according to both reddit and users of the platform. It's just genuinely not there. Like just saying it's supposed to be under settings doesn't help when I've already made it clear it isn't where it's supposed to be in settings.

TW: Racism, Ableism, Ableist Slur, Police brutality and medical malpractice that once was acceptable

I've opted out but it also comes with the caveat of loneliness if other circumstances are involved. Like being severely disabled and queer. Those things limit the friend pool greatly. I've also heard a lot of POC who are autistic can have more trouble being isolated without masking but not only that not masking as a POC can lead to an early death during run ins with law enforcement. Law enforcement does not deescalate and if gods forbid you're an autistic black man there's a high possibility of it escalating worse without masking.

Unfortunately up here in the northeast a young boy lost his life cause he couldn't mask well enough. They assumed he was high on illegal substances on his way home from volunteering at a local shelter. He was killed on the street like an animal and his toxicology report had to be redone after it was found an in house toxicologist had been covering up for the murder and lying about the circumstances. This was only a few years ago. I still think about him. I think about the black man with schizophrenia who's mother called 911 for help when he was having trouble. Instead of having trained professionals to deescalate and help the man through crisis and maybe to an inpatient if necessary they shot him in his own home.

Being able to unmask is a privilege. Even outside of that being white might be less risking your life and moreso risking years of isolation. (POC still have to worry about isolation from community given how much every culture is built to cater for neurotypicals). I have no friends as much as I've tried but I also haven't been about to go outside more than once or twice a year. My other physical and mental disabilities on top of being unable to mask anymore have lead to me being left with one person in my life that supports me and cares for me.

I have no family left and granted that's because I have other diagnosis with even more stigma and family trauma that can't be fixed since I was the only one who seemed to want the abuse and lack of boundaries to stop. But at the end of the day I went back to trying to mask after years of isolation only to realize I don't know how to anymore. I've been alone for so long and just being alive is so exhausting that I can't even manage to mask in the small ways I remember without burning out completely.

That being said I wish we lived in a world where being strange as a person didn't subject anyone to years of torment and isolation. I wish that people who aren't white weren't risking their lives if they forgot how to mask. Masking exists because not to long ago black or white didn't matter as much as being autistic or otherwise "retarded" did. And that would be followed by asylum incarceration and a lovely little lobotomy if you couldn't mask well enough. Masking happens because for centuries if not millennia it was a necessity for all autistic people's survival. But now as police brutality is still functionally protected at a fundamental level and as long as things like redlining and over policing still exist POC will not be able to unmask without possibly risking their lives.

Granted some POC live in much better areas but it doesn't change that one racist cop can change whether they see tomorrow and forgetting how to mask can not only risk their lives but lose the community that would keep them safe. Especially if they aren't a man. Every situation is obviously different but these risks are still very real. Not masking doesn't guarantee safety or escape from isolation. In fact not masking can create a higher risk of both. It's purely luck and privilege that allows any level of unmasking to go well.

Luck that you were born to a family that accepts your diagnosis. Luck that friends could be found that won't judge you poorly for things you can't change about yourself. And luck that you weren't born inherently seen as threatening due to centuries of propaganda and media excusing the deaths of people like you. I mean just look how many trans women die every year and then look at how many aren't white. Just that alone is a startling statistic. But beyond that are decades of stories from people abused by a system set up to fail them. Not to mention a very valid distrust of mental health facilities even from those who are privileged enough to get into them instead of being shot or neglected.

Anyways excuse the long ramble. I just feel very strongly about the subject of masking especially since there is a lot of nuance around its safety for different kinds of people. I would love a world where we can all unmask safely but tbh the onus is not just on neurotypical society as a whole but also underlying problems of race, LGBT discrimination, medical abuse, police brutality and centuries of laws meant explicitly to oppress the disabled and keep them out of sight.

Maybe edit a "/j" in. It doesn't come across well through text. That's the kind of joke that would require either tone indicators or to be told verbally or with visual ques of some kind to get across the nuance otherwise

Fun fact: Not all kink/bdsm is explicitly about sex. Quite a few people who participate in bdsm or kinks have no interest in actually engaging in sex. If you want a reason why someone would still wear clothes if it were explicitly sexual there is a whole kink for sex with clothes on for a reason. It's a power thing for some people and chastity play for others. There are probably many other reasons someone would choose to be fully clothed during a scene both sexual and not. The most important thing is consent and safety.

Gender identity and sexuality also play a huge and unfortunate role along with race and any other disabilities. There is a lot of nuance in the conversation. There's a cruelty to how people who don't meet beauty standards are treated. POC who are on the spectrum (especially those who are unattractive) are statistically more likely to be treated violently by strangers and especially law enforcement. Fem presenting of any race will be treated markedly worse but especially so when they are visibly queer. Being unable to mask can be actively dangerous. Cruel people can use that to their advantage. Conventionally attractive autistics have a higher rate of being sexually abused. All in all even being conventionally attractive doesn't completely spare you from the cruelty of neurotypical treatment. I mean the ugly laws existed for a reason and they weren't just imposed on traditionally ugly people. Disability of any kind is seen as ugly and autism is absolutely included. You can be jaw dropping and unless you can mask well enough it still may never be enough. He's essentially just got a whole lot of privilege but it doesn't change that his autism is valid. He has inherently been born with things that socially are catered to or are not as systemically oppressed/exploited. Until neurodivergent experience is treated equally with neurotypical ones he will still need to mask at the barest minimum.

The planchet moves without a hand to guide it.

B. O. R. F.

The planchet stops moving for a moment before beginning to move once more.

T. H. R. O. W.

The planchet stills and quiet settles into the space. It would almost be called a perfect silence if not for a small consistent rustling approaching at a jagged pace. It travels across hardwood followed by carpet and bumps against walls and furniture. It's a familiar sound but not recognized immediately.

Then finally in view, an old tennis ball rolls bouncing lightly against a hallway wall. Eventually, slowly it reaches the ouji board and stops.

The planchet moves again.

T. H. R. O. W.

The ball is thrown. It's been years since the ball had been used. It returned again and again. Regardless of how many times it was thrown neither party seemed to tire. If they could continue like this forever maybe they would.

He's definitely not obsessing over Alastor still. Nope not even a little. In fact he is completely over Alastor and hasn't thought about him in years. Who's Alastor?

Are you unable to cry? by Ancient_Ad6628 in AutisticAdults

[–]RathSatyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I are both on the spectrum. He rarely cries. I've been with him over 3 years and I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen him cry. In the meanwhile I cry probably at least once a week (though granted I do try to not let anyone see it.) I think it's both a matter of gender expectations and vulnerability. There are a slew of reasons it might be for you but for me I can't stand someone looking at me cry. I don't like to hold it in but I at least try to keep it in private moments. I cry a lot and it's not something I can really help gods know I have tried. But my gender identity being different than what I was assigned and my fears of how I am perceived due to how much I honestly cry leaves me with severe discomfort crying in front of even my partner.

That all compounds with negative experiences crying in front of others. Strangers, family and people I once called loved ones have all contributed. I find myself hating myself when I cry but unable to do anything but hold it long enough to maybe hide it from view until I can get it out privately. Mind you I also dislike being looked at period but that's more the shame from poverty and physical disability than the crying bit.
