dendriforming:

I am most likely to comment on things happening at AACC when I’m on edge about something (e.g. the comment about how it wasn’t parents locking their kids up that was bad, but that they didn’t lock them up in a place that met their needs).

Like most people, I have a harder time pointing out things I like. And unlike a lot of people, unlike a lot of autistic people (though I’m hardly the only one), I have severe anxiety about revealing certain things about my interests/opinions/preferences. Sometimes I get really uncomfortable in situations that involve letting other people know I have a perspective at all. (I ended up wandering into the tail end of a presentation this morning, then leaving very soon after, because there was going to be a free-form art thing and that terrified me.)

So, basically, my comments may contain biases, and you should read anything I write taking that into account. 

Someone said that about the parents?

I’m not surprised.

That group of people has never understood or dealt with institution issues well, at all, if it’s who I’m thinking of.
