Completely agree that those in severe denial that have a way worse time with life. I know someone that was in severe denial about obvious autism and has had some real catastrophes in her life because of trusting strangers. She won't admit there is a problem though so how could she learn to do better? It isn't possible.Oh, she went on multiple rantings belittling autism and how people with autism had a limited capacity to understand reality/other people (if I remember correctly, her spiel on autism was in that video of the girl that felt her nipples were being pinched after getting them removed with top surgery). It would 100% be an insult to her to be called autistic
Power level but as an #officially diagnosed sperg, accepting your own limitations and realizing you might not understand situations immediately and it's better to just listen and read what other people think and feel is a much better approach than continuing to pretend you're the most enlightened and incapable of error like she does.
I think that exulansic has seen people who are on the lower-functioning side of high functioning autism as a speech pathologist. She detests the idea of sharing something in common with those kids. Many of them are very irritating. But like sierra they all have an obsession with very cleanly categorizing things, when social rules are generally ambiguous and don't need to be clearly defined in order to function. The way she is having trouble categorizing "butch" is a good example. I think this is part of why so many autistic people go trans- they can't square their personality with their definition of male or female so they get another category to cope with the unease (trans or non-binary). Has exulansic ever talked about what lead her to identify as trans in the first place? I stopped watching when she got kicked off of youtube so idk if that has been explained yet.
