Am I the only one wondering why Kevin's speech bubble isn't squared like other AIs?

I think the first time I saw "autistic" as an insult was...oh, remember when wankers were crying about the new Star Wars, especially that woman whose name I can't remember (but who, not coincidentally, wasn't white. Yay racism!) I was reading a liberal blog post about it, which quoted one of the manbabies, which used "autistic" in a string of insults. It was a real "wtf" moment for me.
As for myself, I'm not aware of any instances when people disfavored me explicitly because of my diagnosis, though I'm pretty sure my bosses basically see me as "the hardworking retard" and I'm unpromotable. It's more, there are expectations of "normal", ranging from facial expressions and body language, to how to respond to nuances in spoken language that I just don't even notice. I'm pretty offputting irl, and people kind of...just don't want to deal with that, absent any specific prejudice. Can't blame them, really.
I'm so sorry all that happened to you, Hoodiecrow. I'd like to think that people aren't that explicitly terrible now. But screw those guys.

So, basically, never do anything.

Yes, exactly. It's everyone else's fault. Go sit in your basement feeling sorry for yourself.

Hm. Just a thought, but if you’re claiming that everything you do upsets a lot of people, perhaps you might consider doing different things.

--- Quote from: alanari on 21 Feb 2019, 23:36 ---Therapy is a problem. Most therapists won't take me in. Not because it's not a reason for treatment but because they don't think they can deal with me. I've found a therapist who can work with me, but my insurance doesn't cover it. I've got to pay that myself, which is unusual in my country. I can afford it though.

"Wie Sie ja wissen, haben wir Versorgungsnotstand in Deutschland ... " :x
I hear ya - I had a good counselor until recently (until I couldn't afford her anymore) , but she doesn't have a Kassenzulassung, and I wouldn't switch to private insurance even II did have the income. Last four therapists I contacted rejected me out of hand when they heard 'ADHD' -"I got my license in the 80s, we weren't taught about that stuff... "
There is this thing called professional development, guys ...
