Anthony Hopkins and the suffering caused by unrecognized Asperger’s condition
An angry story on how the news of his diagnosis in his seventies highlights "there are currently many adults with the condition who have never been diagnosed either during childhood or as adults. Many have had, and continue to have difficulties in coping with effects of Asperger's on their daily lives."
Given that lost generations must make any reasoning person angry, hear evidence of a cause of the loss and become angry at a terrible evil idea with a long history. The idea of letting go. The idea, sold by religions to oppressed people for 3000 years in the service of power, that it's psychologically good to live in placid passive acceptance of your life injustices and one-sidedly forgive, and bad to fight back and avenge.
I was diagnosed at 35, in 2003, after aspieness was brought to my awareness by passionately following the anti-school cause, hence reading about causes of school troubles. After my school troubles in the 80s, narrowly still pre-awareness! had resulted in a teenage psychiatry political prisoner experience leaving me in long term fear of and potential threat from that system, I was unsafe ever to go anywhere near doctors about anything psychological. So I would never have been found aspie that way. SO I WOULD BE ONE OF THE UNJUSTLY MISSED, IF I HAD LET GO FORGIVEN AND ACCEPTED.
It is entirely thanks to rejecting the evil of those ideas and believing in anger and fighting back, that I am a found aspie at all. Anger and fighting back, which many evil theorists of mental health still argue against, gave me the total life transformation of aspieness's vindication of my nature and all my school age oppressors' wrongness, protection from any more bad expectations, and much speaking out achieved and noticed.
