There's one thing I DID like about the supposedly autistic person's post ... the necessity of acknowledging that things are not where one wants them to be. I have had so much crappy advice over the years that amounts to "oh well things won't get better so 'suck it up' " ... too many people have that soul-crushing "that's just the way it is" lobster pot mentality. Things that are not desirable ought to be changed, and the effort to do so can be intimidating, but you either do what's needed or you don't. THAT part of it I can agree with, and applaud.

However, you can't inspire people to change by simply sneering at their fears or shortcomings. That lack of empathy I take a huge issue with!

One last thought ... "You aren't special for just existing". Why does this sound to me like "People only have worth based on accomplishment"? So, people have no intrinsic worth at all? And we wonder why the world is so messed up, with concepts like that gem floating around.
