What do you look like to me?

I will be frank, and brief, about this. I do not publish every non-spam comment I get. Do not get me wrong, I publish all of the ones that are positive, like the majority, or those that are constructive if disagreeable. Sometimes, I will even allow publication of those I find reprehensible so I can pick them to pieces in response. But ones that have no point and basically exist only to say “I am automatically right, you are automatically wrong” or the like, I look at enough in order to identify before I throw them in the trash where I never see them again.

A dozen things that a Powell type autistic adult wishes you grokked

I have two very specific and very unhappy memories relating to the time when I was told that the reason I was having so much difficulty in life was because I am autistic. Number one, I was told before the diagnosis and immediate plan was laid out that things would improve from this point. Very specifically, I was told, I might add. So the fact that the Commonwealth Rehabilitation Service worker who made this promise to me has not been severely disciplined for making promises she had no intention of acting or following upon makes me angry.
