Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Wow. I am getting really overloaded reading these posts. On several groups, actually. I realize I am being overloaded by some on this group, some on the autieparents group (lots to get overloaded about on that one today!) and .... I dunno that I will stop reading, though, but I AM getting overloaded. I have been having some nightmares about stuff like the Combatting Autism Act, restraints and aversives, etc. etc. etc. Kids being given growth hormones to stunt them so they can be carried around. Crappy behavior toward ASpies on the job... I take it all in and take it personally and then get way too upset. Anyway, i am NOT saying " Please just post a bunch of mindless pablum for me " (ERK.) Just wanted to say I get wound up and exhausted sometimes... I am still not over the disjunct between when I first learned I was autistic and was like " Hey, COOL! So THAT'S what I am! " and having the impulse to tell everyone the good news... and then all THIS... stuff... I would do the same thing if a so-called friend told me that autistic/disabled people should not have the right to speak for themselves. I would be speechless, angry, not know what to say, feel betrayed, etc. Right now it is just easier for me to NOT have friends since I do feel betrayed by the one I had. Anyway, maybe I will go drink some CAFFEINE and try to get back to my freelance job, which is a bit interesting this week, and try not to worry about my music job, which for a few reasons is SCARY this week.
