Today we're gate keeping who has authority over autism. My user ID on wrongplanet[dot]net is literally 22. Is anyone following me willing to claim a lower number?
I suffer from the condition formerly/informally known as Asperger's. I'd call it autism, but I'm kinky. I like when people try to gatekeep the language I use to describe myself. Oh yes, gatekeep me, that's how I like it. oOooo. Yeah. Call me a persons with autism, daddy.
I didn't get a formal diagnosis until 11 years 7 months 13 days after making that account. I think its neat that #actuallyautistic is a form of subtle form of gatekeeping. https://t.co/LwtFNp70Im
My second post on that site was talking about how I avoid what has been colloquially called "retard rage". https://t.co/AGVTNgj4p5
My first post is me 'sperging out about programming. Figures. I've always had a hedgehog spirit.https://t.co/7webv2k3Dp
I speak in riddles like the fey.What does hedgehog spirit mean?https://t.co/Wba81zrBXUIt means exactly what I want it to mean.https://t.co/2mzWiKPlJ4 https://t.co/xtIyd7tgWP
Humpty dumpty sat on a wall.He said to himself: "you know this gate? quite tall!"The king's men laughed from below, watching him wiggle.And behold, beside I'm was Chesterton's fence.You know, he said to him self with a giggle.These walls we build aren't really that dense.
"The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’"https://t.co/f3ZFPo5TlO
Well actually, I'm an "Aspie". Many people mistake this for claiming I have 'Asperger's Syndrome' and Gatekeep me over medicalized language because Asperger's was demoted in the a diagnostic manual. They're misinformed. https://t.co/nbmrmfEYNF
Heaven forbid you use the reclaimed "Asperger's" as framed by Lorna Wing, who helped found UK's National Autistic Society. You should feel bad for not defining yourself by shifting institutions label that patients in to bins. 1981-2013? Such a faux pas! https://t.co/9GIUm27twY
#ActuallyAutistic? #ActuallyAspie is it a term originating from earlier in the internet from a time when Asperger's was going out of style, and an attempt to affirm our strengths and rebrand our image in society. https://t.co/BoOLKNGfLo https://t.co/SCxlSIlLCB
Oh yes, I do love it when I'm gatekeeped for using language that is based on trying to empower members in the autistic community and reframe our struggles in a way that people might understand.https://t.co/Eo7EZLYwPv
I changed my profile to the joker because I think it's funny to call myself a Retarded Autistic Psychopath.If I get banned for this post it would give me joy because gatekeeping is my fetish. Go ahead, click that report button. I'm a sadist. Turn me on.https://t.co/hwZnAoM8WE
Cancel for being autistic.Silence me. Make me mute. OH I do so love when society hates me. Feels so good.(for those who are socially retarded like me, but haven't spent the time to develop detection tools for it: this tweet/thread is sarcasm)
Take my speech away. Shackle me. Put me into seclusion and cast me out of society for being a deviant and a delinquent and sharing views that disagree with the hivemind.Do you think I care about your opinion of me?https://t.co/gY20SrqJV2
I got bad grades growing up for not talking and punished for not being social enough. Teachers thought I was dumb because I didn't speak up. Other children teased me and I had few friends.My family were outcasts, moving from low-income to low income, or literally in the woods.
That was the first year my mom was in a wheelchair. Apparently she had tried to kill her self shortly before and was in a mental institution for a month or two. She probably had M.S. symptoms but didn't realize it.I learned later that school had lead in the water supply.
For me, the pain was unimaginable.My gram has been taking a drug that causes constipation since she was 22. This was was after they almost cut out her colon because the damage was so bad. They blamed hers pain on menses, till that happened to her. She's about 80 IIRC.
My entire childhood was spent gaslit when I complained about my pain. Except by my mom.I'm told I was a hypochondriac. Or my mom had Munchausen by proxy.Her pissing her self from bladder problems & trying to ask for help w/ her health was read as doctors as seeking attention.
I am obsessed with autism. I am obesed with what I am. Why have I suffered my entire life with hardly anyone listening or helping?No one seems to help here. I have to do it myself.https://t.co/trohu3JVIm
I got tagged in a post about fixing autism and there are two common responses: a bunch of parents talking about feeding their kids bleach in reply, or people saying it can't be fixed.This thread is my attempt at journaling to take out my anger from this.
The average level of suffering an autistic person faces is unimaginable. Add ingroup policing of what we call ourselves, gatekeeping over status, & chastising each other for supporting "wrong language"? It's cruel. I'd rather be punched in my balls.https://t.co/vcMTyeFiZW
Every time I find something that might help my autism associated issues, I go thru a mental process that involves thinking about how parents & doctors will ignorantly force it on children (often in frustration) & how child won't be able to ask for help.https://t.co/sjOa0Rwc5M
I am so thankful for the community of people I've met who put up with my bullshit. It isn't true that there is no help. Just feels that way because I felt so hopeless for most of my life. Thank you for helping me get stronger. I am not as scared anymore. https://t.co/b7rrKgLpSu
The reason I got into genetics was to solve my pain. To figure out why my mom was sick. Maybe answers were there? Maybe science had solutions? They didn't. I kept looking. I hurt less now than before. I am thankful for this. But there is more to be done. https://t.co/3G4w6kNyF8
I've been worried about my mom dying of the flu every year since I was 4 years old. When she gets it she's almost always had to go to hospital in an ambulance.This is why I've spent so much time exploring how to fix our immune system the past 2 years. It's freaking scary AF. https://t.co/Oz1n86awGO
Gotham needs me.https://t.co/9pJ5phhvod
The divide between the lolcow and the troll, is that the lolcow is a unintentional scapegoat used by society to enforce a social Schelling point by being a public victim of ridicule; and the troll is someone who's in on the cosmic joke.https://t.co/kUMI7kzgwJ https://t.co/mM39usdqWf
I don't like saying I have autism.https://t.co/V0TkBO5edW
I don't like saying I have Asperger's.https://t.co/ZvMWATjBAg
I hate autism awareness month. Its inevitably a month were every know-it-all autistic person (like me) informs you that saying someone has Asperger's or is "High functioning" is a form of ableism.https://t.co/GmodGSdfIb
I self identify as a changeling.https://t.co/9jUbr6eqf8
I find myself within my own oppressed group - neurodivergent, poverty, etc.I think in the past I'd be seen as a changeling, murdered for being a demon.If I even lived that long.We're still exorcising demons from autistics, just under a different name.https://t.co/mLfNC2uN4X
Gatekeep me for being a warlock.https://t.co/4sQ65ljcGF
As a poem I wrote:Hearing information, seeing the details, sniffing the air.Too loud, too bright, befouled.Screaming because the world is too painful to bear.Afraid of things others can't even see.Some may say autism, but a witch's familiar I be.

Ya'll ever eat a bunch of herbal remedies after being given something to induce vomiting/diarrhea to g̶e̶t̶ r̶i̶d̶ o̶f̶ s̶o̶m̶e̶ d̶e̶m̶o̶n̶s̶ p̶o̶s̶s̶e̶s̶s̶i̶n̶g̶ y̶o̶u̶ reset your gut and improve insulin/lipid function to target mTORC1 related pathways?https://t.co/2CRnwyK3rs
I spend hours and hours looking up metabolic problems that might be driving inflammation and pain, and eventually stumble upon writings about ancient curses that cause weakness.https://t.co/XjN1Rog6uB
And found cure for the curse.https://t.co/aBJ50TIHnA
I thought it would make me stronger.https://t.co/qpUnrkV71z
The FMT should directly improve gut health associates with that mucus production pathway https://t.co/9KXiapMpYQ and ought to fix a bunch of underlying metabolic problems tied to immune function that revolve around mTOR regulation.#eatshit https://t.co/oQDLLOOYUy
And it worked.https://t.co/HQytVsuCCI
Wanna bet that's the same area of brain hit by low does Psilosybin Mushrooms. The part impacted by mTOR related processes tied to neuroimmune and lipid function which is mirrored in gut bacteria's role in lipid health and aging?Cuz... well... N-of-1.https://t.co/UTjW4NVfpv
The last real posts I had on wrongplanet was me being a jerk about Freud.Turns out I was right. A large portion of modern western psychology's treatment of disease and ignoring gut bacteria / κόπρος φαγεῖν is a result of him and his contemporaries.https://t.co/K2vRJyVUs5 https://t.co/cy95Za1tTO
"This is probably not because madness never produced excremental behaviours of this kind. The question then is why did this only result in a meaningful medical category of behaviour from the late nineteenth century onwards?" https://t.co/36aCsUEHrI https://t.co/5B8upkOvyN
Animal science and husbandry never really bought into that stuff. https://t.co/PorSXnOSZ3
Freud has weird problems with his mother.https://t.co/eHdlt3YoXQ
And really loved his dog.https://t.co/4wbdxYuhHI
Do you think Freud ever tasted and smelled dog shit in all his time treating and researching young autistic boys?https://t.co/4Y9lA7UtbN
Or explored the epigenetic impact of gut microbiota?https://t.co/7U7j1jTYtQ
No, he was just full of shit.https://t.co/r5wILyeycL
Do you ever wonder if Freud met John von Neumann? https://t.co/KkYyT0s0jC
"Coprophagia is commonly regarded as a form of pica"https://t.co/8Nk9bPAzQSWhat is a rock, except a funny tasting mineral?https://t.co/prpeyytLXg
@Grimhood @dlx5dlx6 @marinagamba1909 @ResilientDad @PnkCadyCourtney The fingerprints for this 'pica' being a desire for sodium related microbiota is all over the literature.https://t.co/YYNZC860XOWe see autistic kids eating literal feces (indole & scatole) and don't realize its to fix their gut by seeking out metabolites associated w/ health.

Processing my trauma.https://t.co/27WskmeBkR
I have proxy trauma, watching autistic kids writhe in agony (reflecting my own coping behaviors from similar sensory environment), while parents tell me I'm wrong about the child's experience because I'm not autistic enough to understand my own autism.https://t.co/Rz8VvqW1fw

I'm Post Rat. In fact I'm into squirrels now.

Some people try to throw the autistic baby out with the bathwater if the autistic child floats.Me? I wonder if it's producing too much gas in it's gut and the floating is a sign of it being a witch with crohn's disease.I wonder if its me.https://t.co/t9xOWcGMSP
Hi, I'm @ultimape, and I'm autistic. I spent the past few years learning about everything on this diagram: https://t.co/UlH3cAVuCXI fixed my depression thru diet changes after making predictions about genetics & inferring my microbiome's composition & neurochemcial metabolism.
Why sometimes I shart out three different hypothesis for autistic etiology before breakfast."Sulfur amino acid metabolism and related metabotypes of autism spectrum disorder: A review of biochemical evidence for a hypothesis"https://t.co/uTfQPKCccP https://t.co/c0SGTJumSV
Metabolic set point? Bah.Resting Energy Expenditure? Hah.Listening to some crazed autistic fuck on the internet rant about sonic hedgehog causing his autism and how he's mitigated it by eating dog shit to hit mTOR and in the process changed his R.E.E.? Ayy LMAO
Locking my account because I am linguistically retarded and don't want to get attacked for what amounts to autistic's rigidity in language + issues with hyperthymesia.Emotionally reactive right now.I hate being silenced because of this.https://t.co/9NRlGS1hh0
Gotta figure out how to eat flame retardants like some kind of autistic retard*."They are found, too, in breast milk of women all over the world."https://t.co/BqaANnewAa (*I can make this joke cuz I'm actually a retarded autistic psychopath) https://t.co/NM5b5hihnR https://t.co/MdLAPj0pAY

If my patreon account gets deleted because someone decided It was worth funding me at my basic income tier to continue m n-of-1 research. It would mean patreon is deciding that an autistic person trying to fix their own autism via citizen science methods is not worthy of support.
