Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

And please understand it's not you that I'm frustrated with. It's two people with common behaviors and diagnoses. That doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Have a good day.
Understood but...your post title is (as of writing this comment) is "Autistic people are selfish and I'm frustrated every time I work with them". So right off the bat, it seems like you're about to talk about autistic people as a group. Then in the body of your post, you said nothing to suggest that you weren't talking about autistic people in general. Sure you talked about your two autistic colleagues, but you said nothing to suggest that these two autistic colleagues are not representative of autistic people overall.
So I think we're absolutely justified to stand up for ourselves here.
And again, I'm trying to be patient here, but only because I have the energy to be patient today and give you the benefit of the doubt. So you need to be understanding if some of us are less patient with you when we are defending ourselves, even though you didn't mean to attack us (I hope), because we have no way of telling whether you're actually just venting or if you're a bigot using "venting" as entryism.
