Jesus fucking Christ.
I've gotten too involved. I spergposted in this thread, more than once- and all because I saw so much of myself in Chibi. He's the prime example of how I likely would have ended up myself if my parents hadn't given a shit about me and my future. I held out, hoping that if the thread laughed at him enough, or if I tough loved him on twitter, it'd do something-
anything.....because sometimes it takes a 3rd party for things to hit home rather than your mom nagging you for the upteenth time.
But no.
@FanaticDreamer, your posts have been so enlightening. Adam doesn't
want to do better. He doesn't
want to be a normal, functional member of society, despite having the knowledge and ability to. He doesn't want an official diagnosis because then he'd have to follow through with therapy and addressing his poor behavior. He would rather be in a constant state of misery than put in an iota of effort. None of his "misfortunes" are due to the cognitive disability, they're due to his conscious choices.
I suppose it's at least a positive nod to his acting ability- I'd honestly believed he was simply untreated, un-therapy'd and because autistic males can get physically violent very easily, his mom hadn't been able to push him like my parents had me. I believed he was just autisming his way through life and needed some guidance.
No longer. I'm completely disgusted with him. I'm completely disgusted with myself for falling for his bullshit. I'm truly sorry, everyone in this thread who I subjected my own autism to. Really.
