Autism

RE: Autism
Here's the gist f what I went through as a kid and how it relates to the autism spectrum disorder I have: imagine being thrust into a sporting event where you don't know the rules and aren't even sure you want to play. Now imagine that th other people on the field are more interested in punishing you for not playing by the rules than letting you know what those rules even are. And then they decide they'd have more fun punishing you than actually playing and the referees only have a problem with it when you try and defend yourself. This was pretty much my experience as a kid on the spectrum in a grade school where nobody seemed to care. I came in as a kid just wanting to know what the Hell was going on and I ended it as a messed up kid who was so damaged he was convinced he was a ticking time bomb waiting to happen.

Of course, all this has been tempered by time, an environment that has been, at the very least, less consistently shitty in the past 13 years than before, therapy, and me giving myself time to learn how the world works (to an extent, anyway) .
