The State of Affairs for Autism and Relationships

There is a bunch of problems going forward for the next five to ten years for autistics and the “leadership” thereof about relationships and building friends, etc., etc.

To go into further detail of that statement; we face problems such as trying to fit every possible individual into one unified group instead of unifying 1 and 88 people with autistic or pervasive developmental disorders; secondly the research and assessment (or diagnoses) often compares us to the normal functioning peer groups; which is also an unfair and inaccurate portrayal to the autistic community.

There are a bunch of people who go around the world to speak about autism, to lecture about the subject or even speak badly (even with it being unintentional.) This problem is also a multi pronged issue too. One is the lack of editorial judgement when delivering these messages to the public; secondly the medium is the message; especially in the world of the Web and social media; and how the people take these messages. I’ve said in the past that for a long time people in the Millenial generation (born from 1977 to 2001) were the most intolerant generation of people with developmental disabilities; however that number is slowly going down – but not a lot. The problem here, is those numbers are becoming tolerant because of a career path they have chosen, not really because they want to be tolerant from the heart.

And the last point is what becomes the most dangerous part for ANYONE with autism; the message, or the medium may mislead these future professionals of the special needs industry; there is still some mixed messages that all autistics are mute and dumb, and often they are lost little bastards; and often its boys; because its only boys who are bad; and its only boys who are into science and math; and again guys are socially retarded; and that all autistics shall not have a life like everyone else because of their alleged social dysfunction; and they really should be friends with their neurological peers; and shall not even have the chance of getting married and having offspring that might reproduce another autistic.

The entire boldface was the subliminal or innuendo messaging of what is taught in college, or in professional development (bitter people training.) There is a lot of psychobabble about “social pyramid”, “social capital”, “social this” or “social that”. And many of this BULLSHIT has anything to do with social skills!

So in closing, the state of affairs for autism and relationships are bleak and will have a dark future. Not because “progressives” want to make a movement for change and acceptance; its really for people who want to be career mothers or career slanderers to make blaintely false and misleading statements that all autistics are bad, all autistics should be sent to Laconia or a state that still has a state school for developmentally disabled people. And yet we have to settle with the fact of “they are being honest” and “they are telling the God honest truth” but yet if I make a “God honest truth” I’d be charged for hate speech even if there isn’t a  hate speech law in my state.
The only option is to settle with the “facts” with the hopes these people will die to hell sooner rather than later.

Lack of Social Class/Status

One of my weakest skills is a lack of higher social class or “status”. This set of baggage has made me question relationships and this is in part of the over-educated psychologists who have made slanderous statements on autism in a very negative way.
I’ve mentioned here on many occasions, I grew up from a lower middle class family when really my town was really an upper class, bordering on sinful amounts of snobbery. I had to deal with the baggage of a mass amounts of people in my community who didn’t believe in publicly funding special education in the public schools. I also had to carry on with many people who grew up on the idea to think globally and forget the world in their neighborhood. That town also had a lot of gifted people, and not that there is anything wrong of being super smart, but they look down at anyone who isn’t like them.
I was literally the down to earth guy from the small town. The problem is, no one would want to be friends (or a romantic relationship) of a “homely” like person.
I still carry that baggage into my new community, of almost 3 years. If I had it my way, I’d love to stay here for the rest of my life. The problem is there aren’t that many people my own age that would like that because thanks to a company called Boeing, the idea of traveling (or moving) to another place so easily (sans national security delays) within hours (days or weeks ) is something that people like. But such technology has ruined society and the centuries long social norms.
This goes back to what I was writing yesterday of lack of loyalty.
Getting back on track, most people at my age are now driving in ether something above the Honda Civic (yeah I’m being a little stereotypical) or driving an SUV. And because I don’t drive (NOR do I trust anything that is in the “public transportation” family) therefore I don’t have any significant level of social class. Only thing I have is a High School diploma which often gets looked down by the snobby elites of the Greater Boston residents. I must have at least a 2 year college degree or even a 4 year degree to just be accepted to a larger social group.  I don’t have the money to go to college, nor am I competent. I don’t have a father with a fat Rolodex ether.
Sadly I was exposed to such snobbery which effects my future relationships.
Why is snobbery accepted in society? Why isn’t it not refereed as something socially inappropriate? Why is it OK?
