Writing + Autism is a CURSE, NOT A DAMM BLESSING rant + God
7 years ago
God damm it.
I get wonderful ideas (see http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8569406/ about it) and once I start to try and actually WRITE the freaking story, I lose all ability to create!
What is wrong with me???
I'd also like to talk about autism.
I know a ton of people have it, but I want to ask: Is it a source of loneliness? When my parents remind me about autism, it's like they expect GREATER THINGS from me, more so than if I DIDN'T have autism. Sometimes they treat it as if I'm BLESSED! THAT THIS IS SOMETHING I SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR!!!
NO! NO IT IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR! IT'S ONE OF THE WORST FATES TO EXIST, ALWAYS FEELING LONELY, EXPERIENCING THE SENSATION THAT YOU CAN'T TRULY CONNECT WITH OTHERS, KNOWING THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU THAT YOU CAN'T FIX, SOMETIMES NOT BEING ABLE TO FEEL LOVED, NOT BEING ABLE TO SHARE YOUR TRUE SELF AND FEELINGS WITHOUT BEING AFRAID OF REJECTION!!!!!!!!
I'm a Christian. I've been praying to God for the past 2 years, asking him to help me. All of that has paid off for... guess what, NOTHING! Why can't He help me? If God is so loving, shouldn't He have done something by now and helped me through this suffering?
2018 is looking dark for me... because why? Why should I continue to go through this suffering? and why hasn't no one said anything yet?

But speaking as someone who has autism, I admit I too feel lonely at times, I don't have a whole lot of RL friends because I'm shy about it. But I do try to reach out to people sometimes. Whether it is something to be thankful for, I'm not sure, but it isn't something to be ashamed of. People with autism aren't beneath or lesser than people without it--we're just different. Don't let anyone make you feel like they expect things that are out of your ability; if you do feel stressed out from it, talk to them, let them know if it's troubling you.
You mention not feeling loved and not being able to share without fear of rejection. Well guess what? Those things are common issues for people who don't have autism as well. We are living in a world where much of society wants us all to be the same, and people are often looked down upon for being different, or liking things that most people aren't into.
But, there are lots of us who truly enjoy the differences in people. We seek out the people with unique ways of thinking, and we embrace the variety. For example, I'd rather talk with an autistic person who has unusual interests or modes of expression, who doesn't quite fit in, than to talk with a so-called normal person who is lifeless and boring, but who fits in well.
I'm also a Christian, and I think about that a lot - like what is a Christian, and why do I choose to be one. I can't really answer questions about why God does or doesn't do some things, but I can make some good guesses. I'm willing to bet that with your suffering, that you also happen to have a stronger than usual mind from doing a whole lot of thinking. In other words, your mind is being exercised for some reason, that might be needed in the future. Maybe your past experience with loneliness will become a very important thing a few years down the road. Of course, no one knows the details of their own future.
Some people will reject anything they think of as being different, and they will reject you. Nothing can really change that. But, just as many people are the opposite, and will accept you as you are, even if you have unusual or weird ideas. Those of us who accept you don't care if you might be different. Those differences are often part of what makes life worth living.
You may not feel loved, but you are loved. I am 100 percent sure of that.
About Christianity-related subjects: Many people have been saying that the end times are drawing near and that the Rapture is almost upon us. Is this true?
The best thing to do is what Jesus said to do - be prepared for it, but don't worry about it. The best way to prepare is to have your heart in the right place with God. Try to fill your heart with love and forgiveness, just as God has done for us, and that will put you on a good path. God is not going to dump anyone who's heart is trying to be with him, so there is little to worry about.
I think art only becomes sinful when it is used as a tool to encourage harm and hatred toward others. Something like racial/political/religious propaganda art that is designed to encourage real life hatred and violence toward others, comes to mind. Drawings of diapers, foot licking, inflated characters, wetting, soiling, armpit sniffing, furry characters, fursuit rubbing, plushie boinking, and most other things I see in art here, aren't causing anyone any harm, and I don't see such drawings as being sinful.
I consider art that actually encourages hate, violence, or rape to be sinful.
On subject of autism, its really about how you think of it, honestly I just consider it nothing special, just don't try to think about it as it drags you into despair.
Religion wise, I'm not faithful, I rely on myself, since to me, a god is just a deity worshipped to give someone comfort in death.
Honestly whatever it is, I do not exactly know.
I understand how frustrating things may seem sometimes; believe me, we've all been there. Autism is no laughing matter, but it's not necessarily a curse, nor would I ever call it a blessing. Autism just is. It exist, and though it does affect people who have it to varying degrees, autism is never really a source of blame or excuse in most situations.
Steering away from that
Yes, some people it pains me to say it are against babyfurs and my little pony even furry stuff. I mean anti once but all well.
Coming back
He is making a good point.
Your title is Writing + Autism is a CURSE, NOT A DAMM BLESSING rant + God which would make a few autistic people discovering about their new autism ashamed to be autistic.
Sometimes they treat it as if I'm BLESSED! THAT THIS IS SOMETHING I SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR!!!
This bit here is one that makes it sound bad. I know some may get angry been called blessed but I would much prefer to be called blessed if it is an option then.
"Weirdoh" "Crazy" "Not capable of showing empathy" "Thick" "Stupid" "Nobody likes you" "Your weird" "Gay" "Bi" "Freak" "Baby"(I and some of you don't mind it on our terms) "Jurk" "Autistic" [in an insulting way] "@-!; you"
The downside is when someone that is autistic decides to commit a crime then like the furry fandom we all get tared with the same thing and people start treating us different so if you are Autistic do not commit any crims.
The one thing that I hate is that people portray Autism is one extream to another. Saying we do not have empathy and we can not start a family is rubbish.
On the other hand we are not all math geniuses.
Right so first things first I get the feeling of rejection and screwing up sometimes. I also get lonely waking up in my mothers' house in my bedroom and seeing that they are nobody there besides my bed. I would even settle for a sleeping fursuiter in these long winter days.
It is the same with feeling that you are not doing your best when reality you are probably doing better than anyone else. You at most times are your harshest critic and the sad thing is you can not walk into another room leaving part of yourself behind. That may be more of depression than anything else.
Being too honest sometimes can be my downfall, they say honesty is the best policy but they have never met me. Hearing everyone at once without filtering any of it out can be annoying Other people do not get that. They wondered why I zoned out sometimes when I was at school.
As a Christian God did not say anything about the journey been easy. In fact, they were a lot of tough times that everyone in the bible had to go through. Josh had to lead his people and give certain directions for the wall of Jerico to come tumbling down. God did not just put a door on the wall and said hay, here is a teleporting door that will lead you past Jerico.
In Moses time a more well-known one Moses had to put up with the new pharaoh working his people to death quite literally. Even with the plague and lots of other nasties Pharaoh still did not let Moses people go. Then when he finally did he changed his mind and went after him. Luckily Moses escaped by asking God to part the sea.
Jesus on his Crucifixion experienced many terrible things, things that I am not really going to go into.
The tough times are tough but God has something in plan and once the dark times are over you can enjoy the light times. Hopefully with help from god you will be come a more stronger christain everytie some dark times come, and I just said darktimes way too much.
