I guess it’s another way of asking, “What event in your life had to most effective impact?”

      An important distinction these days. I’m curious, how will that dictate the way you vote in the next election? (None of my damn business, but I’m curious.) Feel free to message me about it if you don’t want to post here.

        i’m too autistic to care about other people’s feelings when i share my political opinions and my post history is littered with it especially since my life has also been heavily impacted by clinton enacting don’t ask don’t tell; biden extolling executive order 10450; clinton, bush jr, obama, trump and biden’s immigration policies; the country’s student loan debt situation created by biden’s student loan act; biden using the inflation reduction action to block truly affordable EV’s; and biden banning tiktok.

        i’ll save you the trouble of going through my post history and give you a tldr: both clintons & biden are shit stains in this country’s political history and have fucked me over much more than trump could ever fantasize about; even with project 2025. i also wish kamala was better so that i could vote for her, but she’s seems hellbent on make sure that i don’t; so i’m 99% sure i’ll end up voting for the green party again as i have done in the past 12 years, but this time around i’m deeply touched that nearly all of the people who know and care about me will be doing something similar thanks to my proselytizing.

          Honestly tuned out after that. Autism doesn’t work that way, and no one gives a fuck about your ideals if you tune out other people’s input. If you want to affect change with the people around you, I’d start with conceptualizing that autism isn’t about disconnection from people’s feelings. That’s just being an asshole.

            you’re right; my diagnosis is recent and i haven spent enough time learning about it.
