My brother (who is unaware of my diagnosis) has sometimes 'jokingly' called me autistic for getting pissed off at him making certain sounds I found grating, or for demanding him to close the door when he enters the room. He told me I should stop "being so autistic about it".  |

| The USA is a racist s**t hole but as much as it sucks to be a Black or Latino man in America, try being an Uyghur in China... or a political dissident... or a woman pregnant with her second or third child, and forced into an abortion.

| I have many acquaintances and few friends. I think I only have one or two true friends remaining who aren't relatives or in a romantic relationship with me. Part of this is because I am very, very picky about who I wish to associate with. I also suck at taking the initiative to do things, and often ... |

| My own personal opinion is this: I dislike pretty much all Autism Rights organizations I ever heard of because they are not confrontational enough, weak-willed, unorganized or run by NT people seeking a 'cure'. They make autistic people out to be victims rather then survivors, and they lack creativi... |

| I don't particularly like cats, am more of a dog person. Dogs to me are warmer, more open creatures whereas cats are more distant and aloof. If I am ever old I'll probably buy a cat to keep me company, especially if I ever divorce or become a widower. They seem like a consistent companion and requir... |
