What you’re about to read is something that will likely be shocking and probably very sad. But what lead me into checking-out of society, and the relapse of being undervalued, under-respected has everything to do with ablest-ic tendencies that started in the new millennia. These experts with Masters or worse Doctors knowing everything about ASD has now hit a new level, a confirmable point of fact that there really is no hope; because I went through this from 2014 into 2020, that it’s likely going to happen yet again. I wished this was a work of fiction… but my experiences is so exceptional, that I feel even guilty admitting this!

Why do I say “When to Give Up?” … just read these bullets of how to let go and not be one of those annoying gnats from the higher function a-holes of “advocacy” (really wrapped as “activism”)

• People have been indoctrinated that even if there is antidotes of hopeful cases of autism, they must be trained in assuming all autistic individuals are incapable of doing much. Perception can become reality
• Ongoing misinformation (err “myths”) people with autistic conditions lacking empathy, or not interested in intimate relationships has been essentially settled science, so therefore if the experts say-so, that’s their final word
• Anti vaxers believe that the MMR caused my group to be “lost”, be non verbal and completely dumb. Can’t fix stupid!
• Get ready to accept your moderate functioning autism to be classified as if you do not have “true autism” because the “real autism” is the “classic autism” that is non verbal, lacking emotion, etc. Basically the mute-and-dumb stereotype is alive and well.

 How to I get you to understand that all your dreams cannot come true?

• People with excessive education means they have not had enough on-the-job experience to understand that what was taught in theory, and they cannot readjust their brains to understand about any abnormal possibilities. Most people in the field have more than 4 years of college and of course they cling onto it. If the textbooks say autism is a boy that doesn’t talk, then it must be true. You cannot reconsider other’s perceptions. You must let go and move on.
• There is so much misinformation, it’s like putting out a large grease fire. You’re better off letting it smother on it’s own and letting go and just accept the fact that your dream girlfriend (or should I just say date) that’s a 10 to you, that’s a 3 to others, is still not good enough for her because she sees you as a negative-10 because she was exposed to a lot of misinformation. Let go, and understand it’s no longer the fight worth fighting even if you’re closer to 40. It’s not worth the energy
• You cannot “fix” anti-vaxers and their desperations of “fixing” their own kids!
• You have to “accept” that not everyone understands the autism as a spectrum of abilities an inabilities

The only way I have coped through this hell was to let go, and understand that my life has some shortfalls, and understand even a rational physically disabled person that knows their shortcomings. To keep thinking your dream job, your dream supports, you dream girl will come (and when I mean “dream” it means letting go of ideals of that regard too), is not worth it.

Hopelessness is not something to be taken lightly, but it shouldn’t be the most extreme of feelings (such as ending life via suicide), it means to end the over glorified aspirations that no one else sees, and insist they’ll get it. They don’t. Worse they won’t and even more depressing, they’ll never do! By letting-go you are protecting yourself from further pain from all the bullshit artists that grift professional’s wallets to recklessly spread misinformation without fear or repercussions of lack of personal responsibility of being honest about a condition that in 2022 is impacting 1 in 44 people. If you thought I was “hopeless” just wait till those waves start roaring in the coming years.

Don’t be surprised for me to say “and I told you so”…
