    Renewal is like rebirth So it does feels like death, since you can feel the separation I grieved my past self so much. You can do it!

    I just remembered that I used to suck my fingers until I was 9, which my mom hated but it soothed me and made me feel less hungry. Although, that memory still feels so foreign, it's weird to think of how many signs there was but I just didn't think about things like that...

    I actually think we devolved into what we are now, since many nations in the past were way more spiritual than we are now and it is noticeable that after most of the world was colonized for being "uncivilized" we lost a lot of that capability "of living with ambiguity and arbitrariness." Many...

    I forgot to reply but I started doing that over a month ago or so, and not only for ASD, also for ADHD and other struggles I have. It's weird because I started this process of psychoanalyzing myself, my attachments and my solutions as to find the pattern that a person who has the disorder has...

    I only wish people were more used to challenging the uncomfortable things while being fearful: being scared of something shouldn’t be a thing that people use to spread hatred. How low the number of people who own the skill of empathy currently is even more striking now since a lot of...

    Keiko Furukura from ‘Convenience Store Woman’

    Has anyone happen to have read ‘Convenience Store Woman’ by Sayaka Murata and related to the main character Keiko? As a person with autism? I feel like the way she sees the world and the interconnections she observes in people’s personality is something have had the chance to perceive to but...

    Honestly the worst thing doesn’t seem to be the interpersonal social stigma but the intrapersonal stigma with having to accept being disabled even as a concept, it feels like admitting it, means I’ve given up on smt… idk what. Like I have difficulties that no matter what I can only manage not...

    I don’t know how much I can do and ask of people since I don’t have a formal diagnosis. Just thinking about all the little helpful things I could include in my routine to help with overstimulation and financial problems as I get the gov ASD benefits makes me hopeful but also nervous.

    Fear that has been used to condition people and divide people, yes. So many ideologies pushes it down our throats from colonialism to evangelization. It’s so weird because people used to be way more openly spiritual and notion like Satan at most were related to an example of a mischievous...

    Thank you for the addition and I’m glad I’m not the only one somehow attached to the research of autism. Even if in different situations.

    In that sense it makes sense to bury people in a cemetery but cemeteries are like dumps, they further and an isolated dedicated area to discard remains from my pov. I don’t see why one couldn’t connect more personally with an altar or even ashes although incineration also has its environmental...

    In my opinion that’s more important because death is the end of the person’s physical body. And spirituality is felt in a way that can’t be mistaken and ultimately is personal. I think not wanting it to be focused on the loss of the physical body is something I would prefer for people to strive...

    Yeah I don’t disagree with the fact that it’s a necessity whatsoever, nor do I think it’s negative. Celebrating someone and your relationship with them is a way one can grieve. I just feel like people barely see me now and can only imagine my funeral being an opportunity for people I’ve barely...

    That’s incredible that it was that simple for you. Also you just walked out the juggle and got a diagnosis XD that’s unbelievable, you seem to be living a life I didn’t know was possible. I can’t imagine having to think about 50 years of one’s life, getting a late diagnosis is one of the things...

    Aloha, fellow human beans

    That’s fair. I’ve always refused the idea that I should be the subject of a funeral after I die because it’s so gloomy. I would rather people celebrate the life I had and my connections with them then openly talk of only my loss, so I think that’s great and makes sense why you enjoyed and...
