Once you find good people, copying is unnecessary, because they will accept you as you are. Took me 20 years to learn that.

If health care is a human right, it should be available to everyone, paid for by those who have the money. And those who provide it of cause should be paid well, from doctors to nurses to assistants.
Autistic people have it really hard in Japan, because there are so many hidden social rules and adults who don't know or can't follow them are seen as antisocial. Germany is not so bad. Here in northern Germany at least, people (NTs too) mostly accept direct communication and tend to be rather direct themselves. And I rarely had bad experiences when I needed to ask for clarification.
I was diagnosed last year with ASD and ADHD. I'm in my 40s. Still in the process of adapting.
I am done going to private social gatherings that I don't enjoy. They are usually optional and if not I find a good reason why I can't go. I don't even need to lie. Usually I just say that I'm under the weather and don't feel up to meeting a lot of people. Which is all true. Since I occasionally suffer from migraines, most people will assume that as a reason but that's not my problem. Work meetings are usually dispassionate enough that I can endure them if they are not back to back.

Can we just not? Please?
