Autism sitcom

[grommet]

The problem is that various shows depicting the producers' idea of autism creates a caricature. That's what gets the audience laughing and wanting more. If you put half an hour of my life on TV, it'd be as boring as batshit and nobody would watch it. But you would have a show about an real autistic person.

I do not know what people would think of my life, I do not know how they could understand it. I think my tics could be frightening or strange someone to see. Or how I react to things. If they saw inside my refrigerator, rows of the same thing. One polished fork on a magnet above the counter, because that is the fork I use. It used to be a spoon and I could not eat until I found it. I also have a favorite bowl.

If I was not worried about people on the internet finding me and trying to upset me with personal comments I would like to have video showing my life, how I live everyday. Maybe it would make some people understand more and be more accepting of autistic people.

All the situations where I am confused because I think literally and always think other people mean what they say. How I manage getting on the bus without being able to speak to the driver and using my iPad. I had to do that today.

How the first two things I do every morning before eating or the bathroom or anything else is put my iPad in my backpack so I cannot forget it and put on my necklace with my autism ID. Communicating is very hard for me so I fear not having those two things the most.

All the things I do every day to manage, how I manage when I go out, my routines. Very strange to regular people but, I saw this interview of a woman in Kenya who is autistic. It was like she was me. We were so much alike I was stunned. Maybe that happens because I do not see autistic people enough and that is why I wanted to watch this show.

Or there's people like me who have had very interesting lives but most of it would be too shockingly real for the general audience.

I want to know more.

People chronically have no idea what they're looking at. I seem to be making friends with a neighbor family, and they have a son who was disabled with meningitis. And I explained to his sister that I look normal to them because they're accustomed to him, but that's not how the world sees me. My limbs all work, but people see my expressions and gestures as impaired, or less present. And she's like "You don't have disabilities, you look fine!". And I was like; you're right, I don't feel disabled. I'm trying to explain to you that the major problem (for many people) is not that you are functionally impaired, or inherently different, it's that people treat you way more different than you are (i.e. as if you're not a person). If people insist on discriminating against me, to the point of fracturing my limbs, whose disability is that, really? It's exasperating.

I think if you wrote a book about your life it would be very interesting, remarkable even.

A non-combatant who is nonetheless always fighting to live, pursued by conflict, and often under fire.

I want to know more.

I write a few of my stories in here, enough to give a bit of a taste of what my character and personality are like. I'll avoid confrontation where ever I can but I'm also a true Aussie, we do not kow toh.

I don't see you wearing a snakeskin hat, so having nothing in common with Crocodile Dundee, then what veracity have these claims of Ausness?

The movie character was a limp appendage compared to the real Crocodile Dundee, who committed suicide by police in 2007. Instead of always asking people questions in an antagonistic manner why don't you try reading the stories?

I think I was alluding to the absurdity of gauging Austrlianicity through a silly 80s trope. I did read the one about the lifeguard. I appreciate that there's lots of overbearing behavior that passes as normal in society, but I've seen so much poop in my life, riding ripcurrents is in no way the proverbial hill I would choose to die on. I just finished healing from a temporary disability given that paying my rent is more dangerous than riding ripcurrents, And why? It's because mental normacy will never get diagnosed as a condition, because the majority suffer from it, and they're brutal and dangerous. Well, technically, it's me that suffers from others' normalcy.

Oh, and I'll belabor it, too. I've ridden riptides on purpose to get an understanding of how they work. I identified one watching people get rescued from one, but I had a body board with me, and I decided to ride the current as an experiment, and it was a frightening experience despite working out as intended. I didn't break my hand nor sustain a concussion doing that. That happens when I'm confronted by a lunatic landlady who thinks that I'm vulnerable and stupid, but when she gets told "No, I disagree", she goes utterly and criminally insane. I don't see her in jail nor facing trial, either. That's for the subjectively addled-looking, and other minorities.

Boy, I sure wish I could find love so that I could look normal so that I could find love so that I could look normal so that I could find love. That sounds exactly like the kind of confused nonsense a news agency would improvise.

True. Though didn't that show just end with its last episode recently?

However it wouldn't surprise me if that spinoff generates yet another spinoff. Mainstream Hollywood long ago lost its sense of creativity, yielding to regurgitating the same plots over and over.

I've watched the first couple of seasons on Netflix but got bored and stopped watching it. Same thing with the Korean (?) show about the autistic lawyer. Hollywood is so lame and repetitive; I mostly watch Netflix and BritBox programming.
