I Was in Prison, and You Visited Me: Identity, Sincerity, Authenticity, and Autism

[@livenotbylies]

Thank you! I am autistic, late diagnosed at 46 and this has been my exact experience and observation. I am a traditional Catholic and the culture of intentional charity I have found in my community has been life-changing. Modernity is a prison, in some way, I think, for everyone

[@justinmoore3988]

Thank you for making this video and providing the reading material

[@Phlebas9202]

Glad to hear you've had a breakthrough in clarity Michael. It doesn't change my opinion that you've always been a tremendous fellow.

Very cool video Michael, thanks for sharing!

[@gabrielstuckey837]

This was great, thank you for sharing! Your experience is very much like my own, so it is meaningful to hear you express gratitude for the differences as you’ve come to accept them :)

[@mlts9984]

I appreciate you taking the time to listen. We will have to catch up again sometime.

[@Ashley_Obscuro]

I really do not feel like it is an advantage. I mostly just feel like I am stuck with a wall between me and most NT people. Understanding the difficulties I face did really help me understand everything and find other people I am able to connect to (other autistic/AuADHD) people. I wish my parents had got me diagnosed as a kid so I could have not been miserable trying to fit into a NT world when I clearly do not fit in that context. I'm glad you have been able to discover more about yourself!

[@mlts9984]

I have many painful memories that may have been avoided, but I wouldn’t have the experience to figure out how to do things better for my kids and others. Since I’ve paid the cost of suffering, I am going to treat it like something valuable. But I wasn’t always in a position to see the value in my suffering.

Thank you for sharing Michael

Thanks for listening

Wow that’s quite the title. Ready to watch

Mostly ready

This video was beautiful

[@thekalezelden]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@mlts9984]

Thanks for listening. Many of my prior opinions have changed drastically now that I find myself on the other side of the glass. There’s still a lot to unpack.

[@yosefrazin6455]

15:02 This is not meant to be a pushback but i can say i see a strong parallel specifically in the Orthodox jewish community which has quite a large support infrastructure for those on the spectrum, both formally but also informally (the welcomingness of the stranger etc) - embedded in things like folk tales even. Its one of the aspects of our community i treasure most

[@desolasolalexluna5114]

I will have to watch your video on my day off.

[@davidbusuttil9086]

Beautiful!

[@shovas]

Great insights. Many have been thinking about men and observing we seem to need to be working at making tangible things. I wonder how much the lack of this contributes to spectrum diagnoses in recent years.

[@mlts9984]

I definitely think it’s the world that has shifted away from making sense; the drivers of culture are psychopathic. Autistic people are the canaries in the coal mine but it’s going to keep getting worse for everyone until a Christian consensus returns.

[@Sir-Cyr_Rill-Nil-Mill]

@@mlts9984 to get away from the mental "psy" presciptor I know that the drivers of this culture are *aberrant* literally not of this "dimension" for lack of time to explain a couple decades of research in a comment here on nasimtube. The denominations need to RECANT & the congregants in those churches need to hold referendums, & release those buildings to the people that believe war is not evil. Disciples need to RESIGN from the 501c3 concept & go underground, hiding behind the Homeschool movement. I have charts & papers that are quite real, demonstrating with actual predictions arriving just on time written on my parents calendar 19 days in advance, those stacks of information which are not online do contain charts from information I had to gather online. Embrace the Enclave & Arsenal civilization model & change your dialect to include hugging one another in greeting. Whistling a merry tune. Knowing how to read a wind sock. ;^} All for Christ's sake. *_Cherish is the new love...for thee & thine_*

[@Sir-Cyr_Rill-Nil-Mill]

My reply to Michael's video is ^up there, it is more lengthy with too much bragging about my learning to use a pocket torch rather than a switchblade for self-defense. 8^) _*Be well, may God nod to ward*..._

ready to hear a truth. Lord have mercy, for I have no pity. Very young I knew I was born with 4 nipples. [no duh] fortunately the fear of the twin spares did not mature so I just had mirror, inverted baby nipples. Unfortunately once I was in my teens was the phrase _"What's those on your chest?"_ [right regular as I am an outdoorsly shirtless desert rat] I had them removed. To have two larger surgical scars (they won't last. well, 53-17 makes that a lie.) 88% of people prefer to believe I was shot (thanks 8^) than I was born a freak. With no T.V. private christian schooling paper routes & growing up in a barrio, I was learning to keep my mouth shut & study deeply as well as broadly. Even going to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex & seeing the giant springs that all their platforms are on did not dissuade me from thinking very few people know ANYTHING regarding their upbringing or even their great-grandparents who I am fortunate enough to have met many of them & taken an interest in my heritage. I've never voted, ever since going thru some experimental vaccine program as a young teen, I've not trusted doctors or the medical practice. So far as to circumnavigate the USA for 5 years hunting for a Christian sifu for Green Mantis to learn medicine from. I've known about chemtrailing since 97. I know why I do everything I can to not pay taxes. I'm anti-war. *_This is where it becomes relevant._* My first shock in 88 was going to AFROTC at Embry-Riddle & finding out that the Air Force *IS NOT THE CHRISTIAN BRANCH* of the military. My 2nd shock was in North Carolina 8 years ago when I found out that most of America Church goers support war. Previously I knew that some had, but most seemed to believe Military Service was discipline (the good kind) & made "better husbands." No, bunch of bloodthirsty people, the denominations. No better than the Vatican they pretend to despise. Shock. Irreconcilable shock. I, an actual street preacher & prison ministeries guy, became appalled & spoke up. I'm in essence ex communicate, & no one told me. No one charged me. I haven't talked to a Christian man at my house or outside of my immediate family for nearly 8 years. totally helpful guy with a ton of skills & knowledge beyond normal ken. Shock today, just before I listened to your video, learning that this weekend is some party/bbq/gathering holiday...& no one has included me. I refute " *Communi-* ty, sm, st, on, cate. They all lead to that she devil Satan. I got fired for being a "mature adult white man"

[@mlts9984]

Thanks for sharing. The world is a cruel place, but there’s still some things worth saving.

[@Sir-Cyr_Rill-Nil-Mill]

@@mlts9984 so far I've gone unarmed, alone, no support, no nothing & brought back 3 of 4 girls that were kidnapped by bikers, handed over to the cartel, to be shipped to the yakuza. I didn't try to take down the organization I did succeed in bringing 3 14/15 year olds back to their moms & scolded their dads (ferociously like a man sent from God in all power & authority.) I've done this. Went to jail 3 weeks ago in my pajamas outside my house. For no reason than some ni bit "dressed provocatively lady" was knocking at my house door with stained glass cross, asking if there was a party here last night. I haven't been to full jail (clothing etc.) for nearly 2 decades. County jail is also known as Lil Jail aka. I sang hymns. Met an angel unawares with no physical tongue. Remembered things I'd forgotten on purpose. The gang leaders approached to sit with me inside. When I prayed over the shit food, their eyes opened. I was there I saw it happen. Suddenly, this is all true, the older guys were carrying books they probably couldn't read. It was _back to this spot_ for me, seeing things that only one guard could see. He treated me with the deepest respect, reverence. Your title provoked me to ensure that what I type here you/thou & thee (the others who might read this) understand I'm not typing out of my ass. Oh how I wish I could post link to minds channel flyingaxblade. Cherish is the new love, because cherish is past tense. May God nod to ward thee & thine! because ward is present TENSE.
