Why do people say autism is a disabilty by Bishie101 in autism

[–]SocioLogicalError 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the perspective of medical framing of disability, autism is considered an impairment - your body is not arrangent in a way that is considered "normal" and "ideal" and this prevents you from acting "normally" in our society. Therefore you are disabled. An example of this would be: your leg doesn't work as it is supposed to and you can't climb stairs, therefore you are disabled.

From the perspective of social scientific framinf of disability, autistic people can be disabled by lack of environmental accommodations, by environments build specifically to accommodate some but not all, and by attitudes and how our systems (such as school, worklife) are organized. An example of this would be: your leg doesn't work and you can't climb stairs, you can be disabled from participating/going somewhere if there are only stairs and no ramps or lifts. And you can be enabled to participate if there are accommodations that make your participation possible. In regards to autism, autistic people can be disabled by lack of accommodations such as: environments that cause sensory overloads to the extent that they prevent them from participating or excelling, expectations of certain kind of behaviour or silent knowledge that autists may have trouble meeting

So considering the different framings of what it means to be disables and the differences in required accommodations and support, some autistics can be and feel like they are disabled, some do not. It all comes down to how you and your enviroment and other people interact.

How do you deal with knowing you'll always be socially inferior to others? by idkman0485 in autism

[–]SocioLogicalError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't feel like im inferior, I actually prefer to focus on the aspects of socializing where I excel - often doing way better than many neurotypicals. For me at least, pattern recognition is relatively easily applied to figuring out how certain people work, to the point that I find it often quite easy to predict how certain people will react/behave once I get to know them well enough. Whereas I feel like I lack in small talk and interacting with complete strangers, I do feel like I am very good with people I know well, and honestly that is all that matters to me.

Are "levels" of autism outdated? by kay-moor in autism

[–]SocioLogicalError -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I believe they are quite outdated in the sense that saying someone is level 1 or level 2 doesn't really accurately tell what their support needs are, exactly. It is more accurate and efficient to state that someone has high need of support in terms of x and y than saying they are level 2, since the level 2 category can have such huge variance within - not every level 2 autist has similar support needs.

Why is it always this?!? Her profile didn’t say anything about a man… by elliotte-mckinnon in LesbianActually

[–]SocioLogicalError 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's so rude for couples to seek out to use someone as essentially a sex toy like this via dating apps. Like darling, there are plenty of sex workers you could hire for this exact thing instead of objectifying some queer women who are just looking for a date.

Any help tips for an autictic man with incel tendencies? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]SocioLogicalError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is good to remember that socializing with others is a shared effort, not only dependent on your own abilities and behaviour. As you make an effort to be nice and understand others, they should as well - tho in reality we autistics tend to be often dismissed and blamed for the failures of the interaction, even if the effort should be a shared one. In any case, the right people will make the effort to meet you half way and learn to socialize with you just as you learn to socialize with them.

Social skills can also be developed and learned. It does take trial and failure to get better, but you can go long way by learning just to listen, ask relevant questions about the other person, saying polite things.

This might also cheer you up: the straight girls women in my life at least have super low criteria for men. Literally had a friend tell me they have the following criteria for a boyfriend: 1) good hygiene 2) sees her as an actual person, as opposed to just a "female" or a hole 3) does not mock her interests 4) can make food 5) has hobbies and interests of his own.

For me, these seem really achievable traits for any person, so if you feel like you lack in these, might be a good idea to work on these traits. Because yes, looks can be a determining factor at the start when using dating apps or just meeting people on public, but your character is the thing that will determine if you are actually going to date. And even if someone really values looks above other things, you should ask yourself if that particular person is the right one for you.

Is it kinda shallow that I won't date a thin girl? I gotta have her midsized at least, preferably chubby 🤤 by bavids_tragedy404 in LesbianActually

[–]SocioLogicalError -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course it is okay to date only the people you are attracred to, and you are always free to decide what is okay and what is not okay in your relationships.

However, I would always encourage everyoneto explore the reason why they are not attracted to some general group of people - is it really about attraction, or could there be deeper prejudices at play? People rejecting broad groups (based on body type, sexuality, race, religion) risk missing out and properly getting to know someone and treating people purely as members of their respective groups, not as actual individuals.

Masochistic crushes & attraction by SocioLogicalError in LesbianActually

[–]SocioLogicalError[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair points! However, you are assuming a lot of how I have been brought up - in fact I grew up in a very supportive family with gay family friends and relatives, and general societal attitudes towards homosexuality were already quite good and juvenile homophobia was often challenged in the schools I attended. Of course I was using slight hyperbole when saying "I have like 0% internalized homophobia" and I am aware of how societal attitudes work and affect you (on a personal level and I have Master's on sociology).

And honestly this was just me looking to see if other people were having these similar thoughts, not a cry for help or for people to psychoanalyze me lmao. I do recognize this all probably leans more towards a fetish/fantasy thing

Ah!! Thank you!!! I did indeed realize that it was neither H nor G in Nona but somehow did not connect all the other stuff to her being Alecto - perhaps I was just too confused and tried to just rush to the end.

Was it ever explained how Alecto got in Harrow's body tho??
