Autism already has enough of a stigma and I'm tired of scrotes using autism as an excuse to be a creep. A woman on Reddit got a DM from a random man asking about her rape. She opened up about it to him (big mistake, don't tell men your traumas EVER) and he wanted her to retell her story to get off to because he had a rape kink.
And ofc the scrote claimed to be autistic and other scrotes in the replies were trying to take up for the guy saying "well he's autistic so he doesn't know any better! 🤡". Bull-fucking-shit. Autistic people struggle with social cues but they arent stupid.
He knew what he was doing was wrong and had the audacity to tell the woman he felt "judged". I'm sick of scrotes using any and every neurological conditions, mental illness, personality disorder, and copping psychology speak to justify their scrotiness.
I've witnessed them doing this with ADHD too and it's really fucking annoying. They justify weaponized incompetence with "hurr durr it's just mah ADHD I can't help that I'm essentially a man child!".
Their bs is what makes other people HATE people with ADHD and I can't say I blame them when they're dealing with scrotes like this. Its definitely harder to maintain life with it, but it's not impossible. Make a list, use a planner, buy a big ass calendar like I did, set timers, keep a watch on you at all times.
This is what I do, I still mess up a lot and it gets frustrating when everyone gets upset with me but I can't blame them. My issue is mine alone and no one is obligated to deal with my crap.
Yeah, obvious bullshit. Neurodivergents often have problems understanding subtle social cues like irony, unspoken rules and subtext, but not OBVIOUSLY morally bad things like r*pe. Also, I've heard many autistics say that they do understand neurotypical social cues thanks to pattern recognition, but they struggle to display the "appropriate" reaction sometimes -- which doesn't mean they'll jerk off to other people's trauma though. Being a misogynist prick has nothing to do with neurodivergence and I agree that this idea heavily contributes to stigma. As someone with ADHD, I know firsthand that the person most frustrated with my issues is myself, so I'm constantly trying to find strategies to cope. If you don't suffer from your ADHD and are totally fine with messing up on stuff, you don't have ADHD because it fucking sucks not being able to do what you want to do and when you want to do it.
So so many of these covert narcissist players and manipulative abusers used the ADHD and then autism trump card to justify their abuse and usery of women.
As someone diagnosed with autism, their excuses are blatant bullshit. Autism doesn't mean the lack of morals, more like understanding cues and undertones + other traits. Neurodivergents also have empathy like normal people, I for example don't go around being a pervert or harrass people, because I know that's just wrong. Not knowing whether sexualizing a rape victim is not autism, it's borderline psychopathy.
That rape fetish scrote SHOULD feel judged, because I'm judging him and I'm shaming him. Shame on you, scrote, and your hate of women.
I was repeatedly sexually harassed by an autistic boy in high school. He would always ask to hug me, I reluctantly agreed, and he would moan in a creepy, sexual way and would sometimes kiss me on the cheek. I hated it, but when I told my friends they would tell me “Oh he doesn’t know any better.” He was high-functioning, so he definitely knew exactly what he was doing. I was afraid to tell the teachers because word would get out and I figured everyone would hate me for giving the autistic kid a hard time.
After I graduated, I was back at my high school once. He was there for some reason and asked to hug me again. I let him, but this time he thrust his face downward and buried his face in my cleavage. I guess he figured it would be his last chance so he might as well go all out. I jammed my acrylic thumb nail into his face as hard as I could.
Nothing was more empowering for me than when I finally got the confidence to tell men “No, you cannot hug me,” “No, I don’t want you to kiss me.”
I'm At the point with mental illness where I only take the women seriously, because legit men will lie, who's gonna stop them? It's not like we have disability death note eyes. It perfectly lines up with their logic of getting laid, they will do anything to objectify us and lying is just something they have no problem doing.
Disabled women on the other hand are literally made to feel shame for being different so if they say it it's probably true, otherwise they'd hide it to first prove themselves.
Men lie to get what they want. Who it hurts is inconsequential to them.
My ex husband said he was SA 'ed when he was a child, and I honestly believed him ... in the beginning, but after years of it being his excuse for *everything* I don't believe he was, I now think it was just a convenient lie. I wouldn't believe any man who said it ever again. Which is unfair, but it's my life.
