Going to a club while neurodivergent

Tuesday, August 10, 2021 5:13 PM

[view link] Opinion video from a therapist’s point of view of why clubs are terrible for neurodivergent people. The specific part about “why do we have to come up and tip the stage, can’t you guys just pass around an offering plate” was great imo 😆 —— Anyways, have any stories about any neurodivergent people? That you either knew or saw at a club? I know several dancers who are autistic, or at least that is what they consider themselves anyways.

I'm the reg of a dancer whose day job is working with autistic people. I have an autistic relative. I asked her, since he's unsurprisingly low on female company, how she thought it would work out if I took him to a club. She didn't really answer, just looked at me and pressed her lips together. I admitted he'd be hard to dance for, not capable of feeling much empathy. Dancer would have to tell him no calmly, cause if she got angry, he'd have a meltdown. She just nodded. One of my ATFs I'm pretty sure was mildly autistic. I found her extremely charming in an off-beat way. But, full fess, her perfectly dew-dropped shaped, knobby nippled, double D boobies had much to do with her ATF status. I worried some she was making her daughter mental. Her daughter was about 5 when I was her reg. She use to take her deer hunting, and expect her to stay totally quiet. She got torqued because, in pee wee soccer, her daughter thought it meant she scored a goal every time she kicked the ball. I was like, um, she's 5, I think that's totally fine. She took classes in allied health, and totally aced them cause mild autism is good for that, then stopped dancing. She broke her back racing dirt bikes. Between that and the big boobs, she might have had the most fucked-over back in human history. She liked cake. The club she worked at had food, including pretty good cake. Many of my favs asked for cake rather than drinks, the waitress called them my cake whores.

On a serious note. A lot of men with mental illness resort to prostitution and strip clubs. Its the only positive interaction they have with women

And a lot of people with serious problems come on a strip club web site and tell everyone they’re thinking of offing themselves

Autism/Aspergers/Neurological Difference is a hoax which is being used to legitimate the abuse of children and adults. This tendency to stigmatize and other someone existed long before the eugenics movement and the Nazi Party gave us these syndrome names. Look to the boy Simon in Lord of the Flies. The reason this stuff has been resurrected today, really in the 1990's, is in support of Neo-Liberal Capitalism. In the UK this corresponded to the Tony Blair administration. In the US it corresponded to the dotcom boom. And you hear far more endorsement of this hoax online than anywhere else. https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Autism-Medicalising-Emotional-Competence/dp/0230545262 It is still largely a syndrome of the English speaking world. In France and Latin America they don't take it seriously, seeing it as a Psychosis and seeing Psychoanalysis as the best way to respond to it. These are Catholic countries, so they have less Self-Improvement and Recovery Programs, and less Salvation Churches. And being Catholic countries, they are also Civil Law Countries. So it is just about impossible to disinherit any of your children. The child will not even need a lawyer to collect. A will which attempts to disinherit is completely disregarded. The party is treated like they died without a will. The effect that this tends to have is it limits child scapegoating. You are less likely to find families which have built up around a myth of some kind of innate moral defect. And the Autism/Aspergers/Neurodiversity hoax is after all just another attempt at finding the locus of original sin in one's child or in ones self. When done to children it is an example of what they used to call MSBP, Facetious Disorder, or now just Medical Child Abuse. Consenting Adults are free to talk to each other. But we should not be allowing our government to license such therapists, as this is much of where the problem starts. And Mandatory Reporting was supposed to stop those medical personnel who work with children from being accomplices, because they usually are. But even as written the law is not complied with in private practice. If you hier some sort of a fix my kid doctor they will not report. Their business model demands that they do not. The laws should be strengthened so that anyone who works with children who sees a minor child showing up at their office for some sort of behavioral, emotional, or psychological problem, must promptly report it, or face prosecution for a federal felony. Not everyone likes loud music, or color organs that make the lights flash. Not everyone like loud people. But if someone has grown up in an environment when they have been stigmatized, othered, made into the scapegoat, then they will have learned that they need to protect themselves 24-7. Things start to improve when they no longer live with their parents, and not exposed to any kind of therapists or doctors, and when they have learned how to protect themselves in common situations. Often this will necessitate physical violence, because some people respect nothing else. Political activism, principled conflict, and political consciousness should always replace therapy, recovery, and salvation seeking.
