I hate being within arms reach of people so fuck your subways and your neurotypical ease with dealing with ridiculously overstimulating stress-filled situations
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.
For you maybe, and my worry isn't not being anonymous, it's getting stabbed again
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.
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.
Are people really downvoting you for being stabbed?
It's the typical 'Terrible things never happen because they haven't happened to me' mentality
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.
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
I'd rather you be uncomfortable in a subway sometimes than the entire world suffer from all the horrible things personal car ownership does.
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.
Dude is weaponizing his disability, go through his comments. He lives up to his name and goes off on just about everyone
With the attitude you have towards the disabled, I don't blame them.
Also, why are you assuming they're a dude?
Why are you assuming that I am assuming that?
lemmy is going the way of reddit at a record pace and as usual the mods and admins don't care
