It’s only been five and a half years for me since the diagnosis, and I still have to remind myself that I’m not the person I thought I was on a daily basis. It is getting easier, and I do think I’d be farther along if the last couple of years hadn’t been so harrowing. It’s just that it’s lonely work, but then I’m scared about what I’ll do to myself to connect with another person. But thank you for reminding me that I have made some great strides, and I have found some cool stuff underneath. I need to hold onto that.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
12.1.2025 20:13Comment on Other People by kiyote23I’ve been in a similar place, friend. Denying who I was and acting a part for others, to package myself into a more socially acceptable “me”. Then realizing what that had been doing to me all those years and working up the courage to dare let the mask slip. And then re-discovering who/what was really underneath. Lotsa processing involved. In my experience, I’m grateful to be able to say that things have gotten easier, but I’ve had 8.5 years thus far to figure things out and get used to it all. You’ll get there. There’s cool stuff underneath. Promise
laughing over here, too.

I’m still struggling with figuring out how to implement something like this, but it has at least caused a shift in not only how I view my present family but also my childhood

1.11.2022 12:26Comment on Family Goals by kiyote23Wow. This is as profound as it is timely. I may share with my family. Thank you for sharing.
1.11.2022 12:19Comment on Family Goals by MyAutisticJournalThank you for the astute observation! Gödel is indeed an opening onto Derridean post-structuralism. It was at a time where the refutation of naive realism a la Russell and the early Wittgenstein opened up the so called linguistic turn in philosophy. The obsession with symbolic representation is thus not only meaning "language" in a literal sense, but for Derrida "language" is rather a more all-encompassing definition of any-symbolic-system-whatever. Also, as a consequence of the symbolic turn, "word games" are more and more considered as 'games' (as in chess) than mere communication. And finally, there is no escape from the notion that meaning is always contextual, always contingent. Meaning always refers to the context in which it is found. And that, in turn depends on how it arises and how people interpret it. There's no such thing as "meaning in itself". Potential explication of the incompleteness that leads to a new vision of language from Schopenhauer's World as Will and Representation: Bubbles: A set of ideas that are similar to each other, often with related implications, that is sometimes connected through their relation to an idea that has been expressed before. Bubbles are often connected by thin strands of contextual, meaning-game induced organization, but never can they coalesce into a "one true center" (a la Eiffeltower; as one of the philosophers famously said: "I chose to sit at that table so that I never had to look at that damned thing again"). If you have questions or comments, please feel free to get in touch. It is always great to see fellow enthusiasts in terms of language and philosophy.
