it’s the simplest goddam thing in the world: Allism is aggression, so passivity gets boys noticed, but Allistic society makes girls act passive, so the Autistic girls stick out less.

Nobody is allowed to understand simple shit because we’re not allowed to call normal people aggressive, it’s maddening. 😠💜

it’s amazing. No matter what most people do, it’s “normal.” Constant war and genocide? Get used to it, no-one has the first idea how to change it. Terrorize and beat every child? Why not? Everyone else does. The world is dying, they still don’t see anything wrong.

Sorry.

EDIT TO ADD: sorry. The point is that everything is maximally difficult to understand because the normal folks will not address their own type, the aggression is not negotiable so we’re not allowed to acknowledge it and not allowed to understand anything it touches - so we’re have talk in huge circles instead of straight lines. 💜

BTW, super pissed that they’ve had ten thousand years to figure anything out and I had to solve all the goddam puzzles myself 😜
