I’m sorry some people don’t like it that I don’t engage in group think and conform to social expectations within groups of which I am part—but I’m not sorry that I don’t engage in group think and conform to social expectations within groups of which I am part.

I've been following you since the bad place was less bad (and actually kinda fun) and it's not because you engage in groupthink. The older I get, the more I need smart people who help me challenge my assumptions. Thanks, and also for a few laughs along the way.

I tried for decades. I tried very hard. I just can’t do it. I’m not made that way.

Most autistics aren’t, which can make for a solitary and sometimes lonely existence because groups can be cruel.

But it’s better to be alone and yourself than not yourself.
