I hate being within arms reach of people so fuck your subways and your neurotypical ease with dealing with ridiculously overstimulating stress-filled situations

[–] mriormro@lemm.ee 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you're a regular subway rider or grew up riding one (such as my neurodivergent ass) you start to realize that you're just a person in a sea of people on the train. The anonymizing actually helps with my anxiety.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (3 children)

For you maybe, and my worry isn't not being anonymous, it's getting stabbed again

[–] mriormro@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Easy, just don't look like someone who wants to get stabbed again!

I'm joking, obviously. I'm really sorry that happened to you.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Appreciate it, thankfully it slid off my ribs and only needed stitches but that was nearly half a century ago and I still have to do a lot of mental prep work to sit down that close to strangers

Also as for your 'don't look like a person who wants to get stabbed again' line, I know you made it as a joke but statistically autists are targeted for violence by abusers and those abusers describe it all as visual cues that lead them to violence so maybe something to consider.

[–] Tungsten5@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are people really downvoting you for being stabbed?

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It's the typical 'Terrible things never happen because they haven't happened to me' mentality

[–] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 2 points 10 months ago

I'm really sorry this happened to you. I hope you are well and that nothing like this ever happens to you again.

Subways are chill in other countries. The USA is insane.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

My fear of being stabbed again isn't 100% rational and won't just go away because I cross an imaginary geographic line PEOPLE are insane, just the U.S. has a higher concentration

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'd rather you be uncomfortable in a subway sometimes than the entire world suffer from all the horrible things personal car ownership does.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Or you know, buses and trains for people that can handle them, and cars for people who can't

If you envision a world where no accommodation is made for those who struggle then you are not a person that should be in charge of anything

I never thought I'd see this platform act like this towards someone with a disability, especially considering how many people here are likely on the spectrum.

Honestly rotten behaviour.

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Dude is weaponizing his disability, go through his comments. He lives up to his name and goes off on just about everyone

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

With the attitude you have towards the disabled, I don't blame them.

Also, why are you assuming they're a dude?

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Why are you assuming that I am assuming that?

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

lemmy is going the way of reddit at a record pace and as usual the mods and admins don't care
