  • I totally get what you mean. Your concerns are valid. Being too self centered is a real problem, and it hurts our already fragile social relationships. I agree with what the others have said here, and I would add that I think self-love is a virtue in the middle of the spectrum between no confidence and too much confidence. Self care would be an Aristotelian virtue, a golden mean between two extremes.

    Keeping oneself healthy and happy also allows us to tend to the needs and desires of others without overextending. It would be a disservice to oneself and others to fall into disrepair.





  • What we are seeing is a symptom of a bigger issue. Yes autism spectrum folks feel strange and different and terrible. Living with that gives us a resistance to those who would attack us sometimes. In this case, the autism has been weaponized into supporting fascism. OP has been hoodwinked and taken advantage of for a social media spectacle.

    However, no member of this community should feel justified in trusting anyone that would threaten the livelihood of the disabled. OP’s ideas are not well thought out, but they are still reaching out for help. We are the ones that should be giving support for our fellow autist, not the MAGA.

    This situation sucks. For all of us. For liberty and justice for all.

    Look, I agree with you, but up to a point. I can barely navigate my own life and I’m responsible for yours? No thank you. I didn’t vote for Kang, I wasn’t gonna vote for Kodos, and I do not see how any result could possibly be my fault. The ancestors agreed to let fascism rise before I was a single cell in mom’s developing uterus. My state votes red, always, no matter what I do. I can’t afford to leave, but I believe I have never once had my interests represented by my vote. I’ll still vote, because it is my duty as a citizen. My choice or yours, we all get turd sandwiches.

    Blame and bully me to death if you want, but isn’t there someone else more controlling, with more influence on the election who surprisingly is not subject to the same blame or bullying?
