Im not sick, I have a neuropsychiatric issue that puts me on the autism spectrum and I am already in treatment for that. I understand that my autism can make me a bit rigid when it comes to classification and use of psychiatric terms but I am a bit confused why that would harm if its put into action. I am putting my thoughts into action right now typing this response.
I am not trying to play semantic games, words have meaning and weights, so calling a duck a duck, ie a rapist a rapist is important to me rather than minimizing that persons crimes by using a psychiatric term that can explain the impulse but not reasoning behind acting the crime. It confuses me that I agreed with you from the beginning and then I started reading more and more hostility the more you responded nd I tried to expand and explain my reasoning. Even calling to nuking my account because I believe the act of raping children is worse than ideation of raping children doesnt make sense to me.
Of course I have to keep explaining since you refer to my condition as an illness, which is also not at all how the words illness is supposed to be used.
Im heading to bed, this conversation doesnt work out and I dont know if its because I cant explain to you that action comes after thought, if we are talking about different things, if its my english as second language blocks mutual understanding or whatever.
I believe they were accusing you of having pedophelia, not referring to your neurodivergence.
Oh, thats a heavy accusation. Makes the responses and tone in the text more coherent! If Id understood that I wouldnt have kept responding.
Thank you
No worries. Didn't want you to accidentally imply anything you didn't mean to.
