   A higher chance to develop PTSD like symptoms due to ASD?

   Recently I've been thinking, while flipping through the copy of my end assesment/diagnosis of my therapist.
   
   Could it be possible that due to the way people on the spectrum are said to process information, as well as sensory stimuli overload, that some might be more prone to exhibit more Post-traumatic stress disorder like symptoms?
   
   The likeliness that certain everyday things might be to stressful and lead to avoidance or more severe anxiety and thus for a impairment to function "normally". I feel it's quite similar to a meltdown, where avoidance might be more something to where you're "overprotective" of yourself to not expose yourself to possible triggers.
   
   It's just a random thought I had. Anyone care to share thoughts about it?

   I think it is less socially acceptable to have meltdowns as we pass from childhood / adolescence to adulthood. While we're kids we know our parents will tolerate our symptomatic behaviour; however, we soon learn that our peers and other adults are less tolerant of it. For instance, my Aspergers-and-schizophrenic stepson would only have meltdowns in front of his family, and never at school or out in public. Others couldn't imagine the meltdown behaviour - which he'd store up all day waiting for a time and a trigger to vent. Other's always commented what an angel he was in their presence. It is sadly ironic that the people who love the Aspergers child the most are the ones who suffer the most. 
   
   As adults we suppress this frustration or redirect it into other channels - which could potentially manifest as, say, PTSD-like symptoms. I know I have taught myself to calm down to cope with my extreme anxiety; otherwise I don't think I could have coped with half of what I have had to endure over the last few years. To others I must look cool and unfazed, but this is a front; one which may well be causing me harm in other ways (bottling up all my tension cannot be healthy).

   I actually have PTSD; my main symptom is disassociation.

   I have PTSD too, but its not from AS. Its from other things that happened in my life. But I think it might be that I was more prone to it because of the way things do affect me. Maybe. I don't know. But it would be a good thing to maybe study in our population.

   Re: A higher chance to develop PTSD like symptoms due to ASD?

   Recently I've been thinking about this thread a bit. I wanted to open a new thread, but it might fit alongside this thread.
   
   Since I'm looking into filing for disability benefits right now, the question arises in the sense of "what have you done to fix your issues"... I don't know if I've done enough, or more than enough, or not even enough, however, the thing that keeps popping up in terms of a question is; 
   
   How much is acceptable to out of your comfort zone? In general it's being stressed to go out of your comfort zone a bit, but what is a bit? And what if it backfires, who's to blame? Me for trying? The others for making the wrong assessment and "forcing" me? Is anyone even to blame.
   
   My friend got talks with a doctor at disability benefits office and she told him "why don't you try meds?" and "why don't you try a (and she said this literally; well according to him) mindnumbing assembly job?". And while it's both vaild points to try, I feel that this doctor isn't aware of the problems it might give. My therapist told me that meds for me are a big risk over comorbid factors. And I've had my share of a "simple" job, it drove me mad and into a therapists office with a depression. 
   
   So in that... what's the accepted threshold of your comfortzone, clearly there's no universal answer to this, and as such they want everyone to try, yet we all know that some of us will have a meltdown, break stuff or get angry, not everyone is passive-agressive in meltdown mode. I am quite sure that if I were to, say... in an extreme case, have a meltdown, and in all rage cut someone with a blade I need on my job for opening boxes... I'm actually the one who gets blamed, but actually it's a consequence of forcing people out of comfortzones. And I feel things can be worse and lead to mental trauma... on that sidenote; I'll confess, that if I ever see my former supervisor anywhere, chances are I'm smashing his face in with a tile from the sidewalk. I'm having distressing thoughts and dreams just of that job (pretty much the only thing I have weird dreams about... previous jobs), and said supervisor... I don't know if it's nightmares, but at least... I feel, that within my psyche he fucked up badly. I hold a grudge over it. I'm fine with ignoring the company I worked at, but to be honest, I'd be happy if I ever read it burned down.
   
   So yes, with that... comfortzones, being pushed out of them and in the end having somewhat of a mental trauma cause of it. I don't feel no one is to blame for it and actually I don't feel I should be blamed for my actions either... having someone with, well.. mental issues, and forcing him to something with a surprise outcome looks more like you're framing that person, just in case he does something bad.

   Re: A higher chance to develop PTSD like symptoms due to ASD?

   I've wondered about Aspies & PTSD myself. Like all people, many of us have been subjected to or experienced additional traumatic events. Some were persistently singled out for abuse within their familial setting. Others among us faced bullying in school or the playground etc. This mightn't have even had anything to do with AS: some faced it because they were part of some visible minority group or were of a different (to whatever the mainstream is where they lived) religion. Having (some of us VERY significant ones!) social & emotional 'impairments' (differences..whatever..) our ability to understand, respond to, cope with & seek support for these challenges is also compromised. further complicating matters is the fact that the people to whom we would have to turn for support are most likely NTs (often clueless!) themselves!! Add to that our quirks & sensitivities & complex relationship with mainstream culture, I'd bet that we ALL have a degree of PTSD.
   
   That doesn't even take into consideration Aspies who were bounced through the social services/foster care system like a basketball, those who lived in deeply dysfunctional homes or who themselves have been homeless or incarcerated! 
   
   As for what you could have done to somehow 'fix your issues' I'd say HOW could you possibly be expected do such a thing when the underlying fundamental differences between an Aspie & the Neurotypical-normative world remain glaringly intact? This is akin to expecting a soldier suffering from PTSD to 'get over it' while still on the battlefield witnessing horrors! For Aspies, there's no POST in PTSD. Although the bullying & direct abuse may have ended or lessened significantly, the social isolation, sense of shame, fear of doing the wrong thing, screwing up or melting down creates a 'bunker' mentality: a need to hunker down & protect oneself, retreat & regroup or hibernate altogether.
   
   As an Aspie, I gauge my state of 'okayness' according to the checklist below. 
   
   If I'm:
   
   1. physically alive, non suicidal & surviving,
   2. not a hopelessly babbling detached mad woman (or man), 
   3. not a trembling emaciated addict 
   4. nor a violent maniac,
   5. maintained a reasonable level of grooming & hygiene on person & your environment
   6. Have taken care of my pets
   7. Have on occasion talked to some people (be that work, family, spouse, friend, fellow student, shrink...who it is doesn't matter so much as the fact that I haven't completely gone awol)
   8. Have paid basic attention to health/fitness/nutritional/medical needs
   
   I'VE DONE ENOUGH!!!
   
   Until NTs form some kind of committee & fix themselves & render the planet more user friendly for Aspies (& others with challenges) what we really will have is TSD.

   Re: A higher chance to develop PTSD like symptoms due to ASD?

   I think the big thing is, and I've adressed it before in this thread; aspies can have a different way of perceiving the world... a small example would be if your parents would hit you as a kid. Some people say "it's part of raising them"... but what if, especially with the social unawareness of people on the spectrum, someone who gets slapped processes this action differently and has an intense hatred against said parent with harmful intentions. 
   
   I don't think you could blame the parents for trying to do what's right, I do want people to be reminded to the fact that there is no right. Just keep in mind that every person is different, and having a different mental wiring so to say, just adds to not expecting stuff.
   
   As for your example Soup... the soldier example; I'm halfway that stage regarding employment. I'm unemployed and I'm given a free pass to NOT look for a job until I have my shit sorted out. The job center gave me that for the time being. But little do they know (or understand) is that I'm on that proverbial battlefield for 29 years already, and considering circumstances, I'm reasonably well off and not totally out of my mind.
   
   But yeah, I think there might be a thing here or there regarding the way we might process information in situation that to other people are "just daily life", and I feel that, at least in for me, they imprint certain asociations that really should not be there I feel.

   Re: A higher chance to develop PTSD like symptoms due to ASD?

   We are on the battlefield with you, King Oni. 
   
   What NTs consider to be normal daily life is deeply affecting them as well BUT, true to the intellectual shortcomings & excessive emotionality of the Neurotypical brain, they go readily into denial. So many of them are living off of anti-anxiety meds, anti-depressants, sleeping pills to sleep & red bull to awaken. Others are self-medicating with alcohol & illegal drugs or they're abusing prescriptions. This doesn't even consider how many of them have either Anorexia/bulimia or morbid obesity!
   
   'Just daily life' as it has been structured by NTs is destroying their health & sanity too. Since they lack Asperger's, they are prone to hypocritically denying that they're going batty from it all. Many of them have anger management/rage issues. The divorce, domestic violence & child abuse rates are very high amongst them as well. Kind of makes me wonder who really has the disability!!! There are more of them than there are of us so they got to draft the blue prints for how the world & its cultures etc. would function. Had Aspies been a majority & had the right to design the world, it would be very different indeed! 
   
   I'm so glad that you have been given time to regroup & take care of yourself. I hope you are able to find or create gainful employment that is compatible with your Aspie temperament.

   Re: A higher chance to develop PTSD like symptoms due to ASD?

   a lot of people seem to be in denial about how they are feeling but just seem to struggle on with it, obviously partially because they have to but to me, it's backwards, all of it, if aspies had designed the world it would probably be easier in some aspects but not others. Eg, most of us like to be alone and don't understand why people need constant contact with others, so if we designed jobs for people where they were on their own 40 hours a week, that might be good for aspie workers but horrible for other people. But then, other people might naturally have a different body clock, some people wake up at 7/8am and fall asleep at midnight, others find going to work at 8/ 9 pm comes much more naturally to them. When I did 6pm until 7am, I was alone for the entire time, and happily so, but when I was surrounded by people and staff in a retail store from 8 until 5pm, it drove me down mentally to the point of exhaustion, which is what a lot of people I talk to say they have. That would indicate working morning until evening isn't actually the most suitable shift pattern

    I have had a number of people tell me they want to see me in politics because they like the way I think. I'm probably not the only aspie in this department. I believe its because we see the reality of the situation, not the sugar coated bleeding heart happy care bear version many NTs want to believe in.
    
    King Oni ... have you actually stopped and thought "nothing is wrong with me". You might have, I dunno. In a Neurotypical world I guess there is something wrong with us because we don't conform to the Neurotypical way of thinking or life. And I think its so sad that a doctor would say "here's some meds for you" when being an aspie is who we are. It almost sounds like the doctor is handing out meds for having blue eyes or something. 
    
    I honestly wouldn't be surprised if some of us at least had PTSD. How many of us have had the Neurotypical world tell us we are mentally ill or unstable? If we accept the Neurotypical view that we are retarded then that's what we will think. But I guess we all have to fight in our own way to show the world we are not retarded. We are part of it and until the world stops viewing us as disturbed or mentally ill we are going to fight an uphill battle.

    Re: A higher chance to develop PTSD like symptoms due to ASD?

    So the entire PTSD deal drags on with me... I've been reading into it a bit more recently. I'm still not decided if I should see a doctor that might give me something more "professional". 
    
    Fact is; I don't know if it will help me a lot. Especially in the issues where it's the biggest problem; getting employed. Factor in that more recently I'm figuring out that part of my PTSD-like symptoms actually stem from jobs I had. Simply put I'm willing to say "any job I had in the past put me in a place of mental abuse". I'm willing to blame me aspergical mind for that. It's how I process this information that makes it sound like verbal and mental abuse. No wonder I'm really, really, really cautious to get employed or even in talks about employment. It's perfectly sensible self-preservation.
    
    And it doesn't stop there. There's way too much in daily life that puts me on edge. Past memories and issues I've had (including rather small things like past relationships, but surely big things as well pretty much constant bullying), and the worst probably is; If I look at it myself I haven't been dealing with deaths, I haven't been in a war. It's not the.. let's say "common cause". It's merely the way my mind processes information that makes me hypervigilant and on edge 24/7.
    
    I've been reading about how to get over PTSD as well. Seems a lot of people tend to avoid things that are related to trauma and that's apparently not the way to go. The best way to get past that feeling is by confronting it. if you've been in a car crash, the best thing to do is get in that car again. And perhaps that is the best way. Perhaps it's also the best way for Neurotypical people.
    
    For me personally and the way my mind processes things, forcing me into a job will most likely create another trauma unless there is a lot of care to how I function and met halfway beyond PTSD and taken in consideration there's a big part of autism in this as well. I'm certain I pose a big problem for any employer to get me back into the system. It's not just that I have a temporary problem that needs to be taken care of, there's a perpetual problem as well, which can lead to new temporary problems. It would put anyone around me on edge to try really hard and not mess it up to put me back in a place that poses new problems for me. Honestly, I don't see that working.

Autism Sensory Integration Therapy for Autism and Aspergers

INTRODUCTION TO SENSORY INTEGRATION THERAPY

autism-help.org

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders such as Autism or Asperger's syndrome with frequently have problems with sensory problems, including their sense of touch, smell, hearing, taste and sight. Wearing certain fabrics, tasting certain foods, or normal everyday sounds may cause emotional outbursts. The opposite is also possible - the child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder may feel very little pain or actually enjoy sensations we would dislike: strong smells, intense cold or unpleasant tastes.

Along with this will frequently be difficulties in movement, coordination and sensing where one's body is in a given space. The brain seems unable to balance the senses appropriately in cases of Sensory Integration Dysfunction. The brain may not be able to filter out background stimuli yet admit what is important, so the person with Autism or Asperger's may have to deal with overwhelming amounts of sensory input day and night.

How sensory integration therapy typically works

The main form of Sensory Integration Therapy is a type of occupational therapy that places a child in a room specifically designed to stimulate and challenge all of the senses. During the session, the therapist works closely with the child to encourage movement within the room. Sensory integration therapy is driven by four main principles:

• Just Right Challenge (the child must be able to meet the challenges through playful activities)

• Adaptive Response (the child adapts behavior to meet the challenges presented)

• Active Engagement (the child will want to participate because the activities are fun)

• Child-directed (the child's preferences are used to initiate therapeutic experiences within the session).

Sensory Integration therapy is careful to not provide children with more sensory stimulation than they can cope with. The occupational therapist looks for signs of distress. Children with lower sensitivity (hyposensitivity) may be exposed to strong sensations, while children with heightened sensitivity (hypersensitivity) may be exposed to quieter activities. Treats and rewards may be used to encourage children to tolerate activities they would normally avoid.

For more information on Sensory Integration Dysfunction, see the Sensory Problems fact sheet.

Guidelines for children with heightened sensitivity

Parents can find it very distressing when if their child rejects hugs, cuddles and other demonstrations of affection. This can be interpreted as a personal rejection when it is a discomfort with unpleasant touch. These guidelines may help in more appropriate touch with autistic children who have hypersensitivity:

• The child may find it easier to initiate hugging than receive it

• Touch is often more tolerable when the child anticipates it

• Firm, unmoving touch is better than light or moving touch

• Light touch may be tolerable after firm unmoving touch

• Initial stimulation may be unpleasant but tolerated later.

sensory integration Therapy for different SENSES

Touch

The sense of touch varies widely between children on the autism spectrum. Many kids enjoy the feel of sticky textures. Try experimenting with glue, play dough, stickers, rubber toys, sticky tape. Other things that can be great for tactile sensation are water, rice, beans and sand.

Children with Autism often enjoy a sense of firm overall pressure, such as wrapping them up in blankets, being squashed by pillows and big hugs. These can form a great basis for play, interaction and showing affection. Experiences that may be claustrophobic can be liked, such as being squashed between mattresses, and making tunnels or tents from blankets over furniture. Read Temple Grandin's story and the development of her 'hug machine'.

"Our son hates light touches. But we now play 'monster attacks', where we pick him up, turn him upside down, spin him around, throw him on the couch, bury him under cushions then sit on him, yelling and carrying on the whole time! He loves it, and over time we worked in hugs and strokes at the end of it all. Now we can show him affection normally as well, and he is more comfortable with the rough and tumble play of other young boys". PDC (we strongly suggest caution if 'burying' a child under cushions, to avoid suffocation - Ed.)

Appreciation of firm pressure to light touch seems to be very common on the autism spectrum. Try using deep pressure with the palm of your hand instead of stroking or light touch. Some children love being tickled, while of course others will hate it.

Smell

Be aware of your child's response to the smell of substances too. Experiment with putting different fragrances in play dough or rice. If your child actively likes strong odors, find toys that specialize in this.

Sound

Experiment with talking toys, games on computers, musical instruments, squeaky toys and all sorts of music. Clapping together, rhymes, repeating phrases and tongue twisters are useful activities.Auditory Integration Therapy may help in dealing with sounds.

Some children on the autism spectrum respond to music but not voices, in which case music therapy may help. Try speaking in a melodic or “sing-song” voice and see if the response improves. Try different tones of voice, pitches, and gauge your child' reaction. Loud or unexpected sounds generally won't be liked. Explain noisy toys to the child first then introduce it at a distance. In extreme cases, it may be worth introducing noise-making toys using social stories.

Sight

As you can gather, parents may need to play detective in finding the sensations their child is enjoying. Autistic kids were often reported as staring at nothing when young by their parents, when they were actually entranced by the movement of shadows on a wall, or listening to wind moving through the trees outside. Parents may need to work hard to find the things their child enjoys visually. It could be anything that is long and narrow. I might be things of a precise shade of orange. A preference for looking at straight lines is often reported. There are many toys that aim at stimulating sight with bright color schemes and flashing lights. Remember your child probably won't want to be taken by surprise! In some cases,visual therapy may be able to help.

Proprioceptive system

The Proprioceptive System helps children (and adults) to locate their bodies in space. Autistic children often have have poor proprioception and will need help to develop their coordination. Therapy may include playing with weights, bouncing on a trampoline or a large ball, skipping or pushing heavy objects.

Vestibular system

The Vestibular System is located in our inner ear. It responds to movement and gravity and is therefore involved with our sense of balance, coordination and eye movements. Therapy can include hanging upside down, rocking chairs, swings, spinning, rolling, somersaulting, cartwheels and dancing. All these activities involve the head moving in different ways that stimulate the vestibular system. Be careful to observe the child carefully to be sure the movement is not over stimulating.

Back and forth movement appears less stimulating than side-to-side movement. The most stimulating movement tends to be rotational (spinning) and should be used carefully. Ideally activities will provide a variety of these movements. A rocking motion will usually calm a child while vigorous motions like spinning will stimulate them. Merry-go-rounds, being tossed on to cushions or jumping trampolines can be real favorites with some children. Experimenting and careful introduction of each activity is the way to go!

Learning new skills involving movement

Skills such as tying shoe laces or riding a bike can be difficult as they involve sequences of movements. Therapy to help in this area may use swimming, mazes, obstacle courses, constructional toys and building blocks.

Difficulty with using both sides of the body together

Crawling, hopscotch, skipping, playing musical instruments, playing catch and bouncing balls with both hands are some of the many activities that can help with bilateral integration.

Hand and eye coordination

Activities may include hitting with a bat, popping bubbles, throwing and catching balls, beanbags and balloons.

Is Sensory Integration Therapy a proven treatment?

Although Sensory Integration Therapy is widely used and supported by anecdotal evidence, there is as yet little research that would establish it as an evidence-based treatment. One study found only poor quality evidence providing either no, or at best equivocal, support for Sensory Integration therapy (Dawson and Watling 2000). There have been many studies done but these have not been conducted rigorously enough for Sensory Integration Therapy to be considered an evidence-based treatment, despite it being widely used as an intervention for Autism and other developmental disorders.

I can't afford these therapies, or they don't exist in my area

The good news is that as with many intervention therapies, they can be done at home by the parents. When finances are a problem, you may be able to have one or two sessions with an occupational therapist who is experienced in Sensory Integration Therapy to get advice on home-based therapies. Contact your local Autism or Asperger's association as they will be able to put you in touch with free or low-cost services.

When there are no services in your area, you can still do home-based therapies. This fact sheet offers some ideas and there are many books available on Sensory Integration Therapy. Also, some Autism associations may respond to email enquiries from parents in remote regions.

Sensory issues are explored further in theSensory Problems fact sheet.

Unwritten: CyberSecurity and Aspergers

Now public...  I sent a copy to two people who asked for the background on the Take Down notice on my website. Both blocked me. 

In short, don't ask me questions if you wouldn't want me to answer. 

Two more names on my shit list. I should turn them against each other and probably will if I get bored. ;)

I know where you live!! Lol.

Sample of my writing WAS included. File corrupted in transfer. 

 Can't figure out that stupid app. Made this in docs to go. Have major network problems and my Amazon account is hacked. 

Spent over 3 hours trying to straighten it out, changed password 6 times. Infuriating. 

I lost over $70- in my account (I had credit and make money from website subscriptions.)

Both Gmail and Yahoo got hacked. And if you read my blog, you already know about the Amazon hack. 

My site comes down on the 30th and American Internet is a fucking nightmare. I informed Columbia that they were hacked (I know head of Academic Computing and Security personally after 18 years) and they are encouraging me to write a book about hacking, social engineering, and I'm also thinking of approaching ex-AspieKid about writing a book about the division and online bullying and divide within the NT / Aspie Community. 

Janis Sharp has graciously agreed to write forward (her book is being turned into a movie) and quite frankly, I need something to keep me from losing my mind and soul while I still have one. 

AspieKid is a fucking genius. He is one of my absolute faves (author of Santa is an Aspie) and shares my interest in the law and social justice. 

He recently took his site offline and closed all his social media accounts after finding himself bullied, disrespected and marginalized by the NT "experts" much like I was by members of the AntiSec, Anonymous, DefCon, and people within CyberSecurity industry who doxed my medical records and financials and posted in forums under names like "Jerry Y" and "Marc Durant" "Karen Durant" "Charlie Sheen ASD" "Joe Black" "SickJew" "JDenigma" "Green Squirrel" "Agent Daddy" to name but a few...

To find how much these individuals and groups have invested in socially engineering and creating hostile, volatile, and juvenile forums to chastise and destroy decent, caring, unique individuals like myself is truly a vile and despicable problem that continues to grow and escalate around the world spreading like a human virus online. 

In my case, CyberSecurity professionals ranging from known terrorists (on the real life watch list) to hackers offering cash for "titty pics" on live webcasts. 

Several created forums both private and public to discuss my financial and family problems, openly mocked my Aspergers and posted private medical and financial records online. 

Some were authentic HIPAA protected documents (such as prescription records documenting that I had been prescribed Klonopin as evidence that I was receiving treatment for OCD, anxiety, and depression after serious car accident and VERY traumatic event) and posted my parent's home and work address on the internet to support their (somewhat true but disturbing lack of parental support while I underwent years of treatment for a severe neurological, spinal cord injury only to find myself in a taxi cab alone because my own mother refused to drive me or "waste money" to accompany me to breast surgery. 

I was asked to sign a release to allow the surgeon to remove my breast without waking me up from a breast biopsy at 35 years old. 

I refused. By that point I had already decided that I would not undergo chemo or any other treatment if the biopsy revealed a malignant tumor. 

I had a fighting chance up until that point. Now, I dread the thought of living this way for another 40 or 50 years and I need to do something that makes me feel the way I did before that horrific April when it all fell apart over a fraudulent tax return and a $4.50 late fee that resulted in events too disturbing to discuss in a "quick email" that may never be seen by anyone other than me and the CISPA fuckwits or hackers who like to dump my personal "d0x" in pastebin to flaunt their effective tactics at "destroying real people with problems for Lulz."

The same assholes who did that had the nerve to sell ELyssaD T-shirts in along side "Free Gary" T-shirts at DefCon.  

That's all for now. The embedded document below was supposed to be a quick sample of what I am capable of given half a chance to do what I do best: Make people FEEL! 

Make people think. Make people see things they might otherwise ignore. Compel people to act. To feel. To empathize. To be accountable for their actions and answer to a higher god. 

They call me אל. Many have called upon me to be the voice of reason and nearly everyone wants me by their side in the midst of a true crisis. People have fallen at my feet, kissed them and start spewing crazy Jesus stuff when I take the time to see people before race, religion, SES, or bullshit labels and roles they play in homeless shelters and residential treatment facilities. 

Some have called me God, *some have called me a miserable cunt born without a soul or a conscience. Many have called me brilliant, and those know me best and from afar have listened and read every word I have written or videos I have posted because they believe what I (reluctantly) have come to believe myself. 

I matter. I may not be the prophet people predicted I would become but my story matters. 

Elohim Daniel Emet. 

Many believe my father is satanic illuminati and my mother to be more or less exactly what she is. 

If the prophesy is true, my role is to deliver truth the the gods so they can pass judgment on my Illuminati-ish parents who embody both the best and the worst of the human condition. 

They made me who I am. A ruthless, entitled bitch of a human being who isn't going to die despite the number of people who feel I am a *financial burden on society because I have something you'll never have. 

I'll let you know when I figure out what that is!! Because typing this mother fucking draft journal entry on my iPhone      for two hours is starting to really hurt my fucking arms and thumbs. 

I can only think of a few people who may be laughing their asses off as I sign off in my best crazy voice so I can get back to editing the real thing on some other device that actually works. 

Laugh. I may be crazy, but at least I am honest and whacky and fun. 

Now let the church bells ring. 

I have some "real work" to do. See sample below. 

I'm on a mission. To finish the book I started 18 years ago that my mother threw out to send a message.  Message received, mother dearest. 

I'm sorry you feel I ruined your life. 

My role may just be to save it. To save you from yourself before it is too late. 

I am working on forgiveness. 

That's all she wrote folks. Over and OUT.

אלוהים אמת

Morning Manifesto d'Jour

From: E

Date: April 25, 2013, 10:05:37 AM EDT

Subject: Re: Jude & Jaded

Morning manifesto

April 26, 2013

CyberCrimes, Law, Aspergers, Ethics

DRAFT on me iPhone 10:05am

I do believe that if we can prove CyberBullying  is a crime and that is the only reason I subject myself to the vile messages and images that make me physically ill and nightmares 5 years after it happened. 

If child commits suicide, people get outraged. If aspie gets upset or develops new symptoms or is afraid to seek treatment than it is because we "misread signals" or "have higher rate of depression, anxiety and suicide?" 

I call bullshit. It makes all the more reprehensible. It is criminal negligence if people do not report this kind of behavior. Especially when it is done by people who have a legal "duty to report"

Furthermore, if this causes damage to their ability to use public domain is both illegal under the Federal Communication laws, ADA and 18 USC 1027. 

I lost everything. 

The last 72 hours I regressed into a 22 year old who was willing to risk going blind in one eye than listen to all the morons who tried to bully me into a dangerous situation that is still volatile because it kept me from focusing on what needs to be done and my inability to stop pacing in circles until I wear myself out and fall asleep for few hours. 

I realize and act like a total freak and can hear people whisper or make me feel uncomfortable stimming of repeating phrases to myself to calm prevent winding up in the hospital because I can't handle the noise or bc I don't have comfortable clothes to wear, but I had to go with my gut and realize that if I don't speak up and try to make people understand how much has been lost in that time, they. Win. 

And after so many years, people see posts from five years ago and use it as justification to harass me now. 

I walk a fine line every second of every day. 

Yes, I would rather people see all of the wonderful articles I have written, but instead they see all of the fake d0x and embarrassing letters from my mother doing what Leah is doing to you. 

I know this is long winded and hope you are following the logic, but, as a 40 year old woman with multiple degrees form the Ivy League and a pretty decent résumé my mother claimed me as a dependent on her taxes when I was living on my own for 16 years. She claimed adult dependent child and refused to amend so I could get my benefits reinstated. 

Six months ago she nearly killed me in her 60,000 car and WATCHED as her new (6 foot plus militant new husband) stood over my bed and broke my only lifeline because he did not like my music or the sound of my voice. 

My mother stood in corner and watched and after he leaves tells me, "I'll slap you in the fucking head if I lose my home because of you." 

Then she leaves and I call two NTs in nearby and ask if I can crash for a few days at a hotel to stay safe. 

"'MY SON HAS AUTISM. I CAN'T AFFORD TO blah blah blah" 

In the next breath he posts my name on his website AurismAid.org so he could exploit my work and appear legitimate resource for ASD when they did nothing to help me find resources or job since that would keep me from the brilliant work I did for charity event that never even took place. 

Then, I actually donated $25 to their pseudo charity (anonymous donation but I have receipt) only to find out they are exploiting others with ASD and have no 501c3, business license or accreditation to train people on anything other than how to be a shady, creepy parent who solicits donations on FaceBook for his son who is unable to speak or use toilet at 15 years old. 

I was outraged. I could not believe they were taking advantage of this horrible situation to gain knout and more Leah's to keep tell me that I am the bully when I expose the scam and refuse to approve a PR stunt to gain what he *thinks" is creds and respect for being a hero dad on GMA. 

Well, I don't think that makes a hero or a man if he needs to prey on the weak and the sails using MY words with Obama's face in a PSA. 

I was good enough to;

do the work (for free) 

Get them tons of web traffic to trend on google

Looked good on paper with letters after my name 

had access to people with deep pockets and good PR

Gave them the appearance of "hiring" people with ASD so they could appeal to anti AutismSpeaks crowd

BUT, I wasn't deemed good enough to step in when Obama and Jenny McCarthy declined to make a statement to public about Autism ?? 

When i saw the statement that I made without permission, citation, or credit, I hit the fucking roof. I quit immediately. 

Then I get flood of DMs offering everything money if I went along with the charade promising followers on twitter? 

HELLO? Wake the fuck up. I don't give fuck if you have 10,000 or 200,000 followers who are willing to post bullshit and lies all over the web. 

In fact, the idea that these people are SO pathetic that they need to exert their "influence" using these tactics is so much MORE pathetic, opportunistic, offensive and sad. 

It is totally defeats the purpose because they use that influence to silence anyone who is either brave or stupid enough to stand refuse to comply. 

This is Nazi science 101. 

(Hope You are following thus far because my arms really hurt)

So, I start tweeting (thinking outlod) the way I do when I need to hear click of keyboard and heat my own voice say the words out loud as I pace until they come out sounding just right. 

Gonna have to take break because I have been writing these words and concepts for years and will eventually put the pieces all together if I ever get a computer I can figure out how to use)

I waited, and waited and waited for years to see if anyone would ever see the pain and the logic of this ridiculous role I have taken on and uncover the message I am trying to put out there for future generations when they attempt to make sense out such a "virtual" reality that will either kill me or save me if I can get off this rock (or at times make it through the day without wishing I will find something to make this life worth living again. 

Many people have told me that the world would be better off if I had nerve been born or I would just kill myself since they feel I am less than human and don't deserve to eat or have Internet or medical care since I am  apparently THAT much of a financial burden on society. 

Guess what. Yes, I want to die. Yes I am impulsive, compulsive, and self righteous BUT my logic is flawless given the right tools and opportunity to make my petty existence tolerable on the off chance that future generations or alien life forms will realize that I am different and "crazy" but one hell of a friend when the shit hits the fan. 

I gotta go. I haven't slept more than 4-6 hours since my mother showed up and tried to take me to the ER so she could show off her parenting skills and have one more reason to gain sympathy and jeers from her friends or hit pay dirt and   convince doctors or herself that I am causing her problems and try to stick me in a facility like Credemore so she can collect the insurance she took out on me the day before I moved in. 

Better off dead? Maybe. 

Willing to pull the trigger? Not on your fucking life. I would not give then the satisfaction. 

And for every person who does not stand with me or will use this as more "proof" that I don't deserve to breathe or use the Internet to distract, numb, or inspire others by refusing to just disappear doesn't appreciate what I giving back to anyone who wants to know why I do what I do. 

Over. And over. And over again. Until somebody listens. Or I find another way to entertain myself!!

Yes. I have video. And it ain't pretty after walking home from the hospital in 80 weather wearing black pants and the only sweater that fits. 

 Maybe I'll get online and order myself a pink Tank top off JadedExposure

You would think the bastard would give me one for free. But oh no. Can't have the real Elyssa on the air. It would ruin the show if they actually aired my response and statement when I answered the phone and dun. They did not even use block on caller ID.

Those bitches need to die. 

That is the DailyDDoSe June 26, 2013

Yes, it should all be addressed legally. Leah, Heather, Ariane, Ib and others should have criminal records too. Leah should not be allowed to be a teacher running classrooms of kids. But the authorities will never get involved in blog wars and online bullying unless it turns to violent crime. I'd like to make some kind of Internet self-policing system, but I don't know how it would work. I've been so stressed from thinking about all of this that it is hard to concentrate on anything anymore. It is affecting my ability to survive, and they will never be brought to justice.

Dear ^ed,

 Yeah, I've seen jaded's crap before. So sorry but this is a form of cyberbullying that should be addressed via legal channels. Ugh! 

Ad hominem attacks are common amongst the idiot set. Hope all is well in your mental universe. These people are nowhere. ;) Be of good cheer?
