    If you willingly hurt yourself, or your brain, conversing online, then you shouldn’t be using it as an excuse to get your point across. The advice was given, if it hurts, stop doing it, is that really that hard to explain?

      is that really that hard to explain?

      to you, yes. As I don’t think in flippant attempts to trivialize human beings and reduce things to simpleton answers for something they have struggled with each and every day of their life. It sure is easier to dehumanize me as you keep doing.

      writing online is about the only thing in my life that I can do, despite the constant pain, and I’m near death. Once the writing goes, there is zero left, I’m not even really surviving.

      Simon Baron-Cohen; July 1, 2003; “The Essential Difference: Male And Female Brains And The Truth About Autism”, page 146 quote: “Another man with AS described his life in a very graphic way: ‘Every day is like climbing Mount Everest in lead boots, covered in molasses. Every step in every part of my life is a struggle.’”
