    I don’t know if this applies to all or even most other autistic people, but my autism has almost been exclusively positive for me.

    Really the only negative thing that ever happens is people being mean or making fun of me because I don’t understand the social rules. But it happens less and less as I both learn the rules and frequent more mature people who don’t care if you’re slightly awkward and don’t always know how to end a conversation 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Autism is not a handicap in my case. Not even slightly.


  • You can’t be sure he wasn’t set on fire by someone else ! Plus he might have changed his mind, or extinguish on his own later than you’d have out him out, staying alive and suffering even more.

    I’d maybe make an exception for someone calmly sitting as they burn, as I think the Buddhist monks who did this in China were. In those cases it’s pretty easy to see they wanted to be on fire.

    But a flaming flailing guy needs to be extinguished, whatever the reason he is on fire.
