    The fact that you’re willing to argue that mental disorders can cause abusive behaviour at all tells me you’re not coming from a place of intellectual honesty.

    There are two legitimate sides to this argument: they do, and they don’t. You’re part of the manufactured hypocritical third side, which argues some do and some don’t, and the difference is how many people with the disorder you’ve heard a sob story from.

    I’m sorry but you’re never going to convince me that some mental disorders make people abusive and some magically don’t. The reason you think autism is a magical exception among all those other examples you gave is just politics. You don’t really believe your own rhetoric.

    The most famous feral child case in history is a girl named Genie, who was abused because her single father had autism and noise sensitivity. He couldn’t stand the sound of crying, so he locked her in a room and beat her if she cried. She learned that making noise was bad, and never learned to talk. When she was rescued, she learned a few words, but never how to use them properly.

    And you want me to believe that’s not as bad as narcissism. You want to minimise Genie’s abuse and my abuse, because our parents didn’t have the “right” disorder to call out. You’re a disgusting abuse enabler.

    I’m more than happy to say my parents abused me because they had a mental disorder, but they weren’t diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, so I’m stuck using autism instead. I wish they had a more socially acceptable disorder to blame.








  • LeninsOvaries@lemmy.cafetomemes@lemmy.worldUh, yeah. That rings a bell.
