I try everything I can, music, animation, art, programming, even Sports yet no one understands me!

It's so hard to live with autism, and I'm wondering how I can get help. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Whether or not I have advice for them is not part of the debate.

That video is just anecdotal evidence, there is also plenty of evidence of religions creating a lot of suffering, particularly mental health issues related to education due to beliefs (for example for LGBTQIA+ community, which has a lot of overlap with the neurodivergent community).

since @vaseltarp@lemmy.world likes history so much, they should take a look at the crusades, or the inquisition. Religion does enough evil things nowadays but those were real low points.

Fact is you are not even try to help them you are only trying to prevent them from trying if someone/something can help them.

The votes on your original comment tells me I'm not the only one thinking that kind of suggestion is not very welcomed into this community.

I think you would be better off trying to sell your parasocial relationship with antiquity dude to other people on the internet than here.

I don't give a f* what those people think if there is a chance that someone could get help.
