Is it normal i always get really pissed off by people with autism online?

I know everyone's going to bitch at me but I honestly can't fucking stand it. A lot of the autistic kids I know are FINE in person but for whatever fucking reason the second they go online they feel the need to bitch at me.

I GET IT, you're depressed for no fucking reason.
I GET IT, you get "anxiety" for no fucking reason.
I GET IT, you accidentally guilt trip people and bitch and moan about how you suck and everybody hates you...WHEN THEY REALLY DON'T, for no reason!!!

Like, I get it. You're depressed. I myself have struggled with depression but when autistic people are depressed for no reason it just really bothers me. Even if they're not interacting with me it seems everything they do and say online just pisses me off.

Before you ask, no, I don't hate ANY other group of people like this. I try to be understanding of others, especially those with things that are really out of control and I feel bad but I just can't. They're just so fucking annoying and I have to restrain myself from exploding up on every single one of them. I feel bad, I do, but I never liked anybody who whines and bitches and cries about everybody out to get them - unfortunately I've encountered so many autistic people that are LIKE that, and I can't help but be annoyed by them. IIN?

  • I'm autistic and I have actually noticed this myself but I think I can explain why.
    Not everyone with autism is like this, but the ones who are will be more prone to isolate themselves and resort to internet forums. Unemotional autistics such as myself are more likely to have lives outside the computer and not feel the need to complain constantly.
    Also having autism does make it difficult to process and describe emotions which makes their descriptions of negative emotions seem absurd because they do not understand why they feel this way. This however furthers their issue of social rejection by coming off as someone who is negative to be around because they do not understand how to act and express themselves appropriately.

    I am annoyed by whiney people as well. Non-autistic people are just as prone to feeling like what you're describing. They just understand when they should shut up.

    • Well you're fine. It's not like I meant every autistic person. Because there are people that don't have autism that I really would like to beat in the neck, but it's just the SELECT FEW that are really fucking annoying.

      This girl refuses to practically do anything in fear that it will "cause her anxiety". Call me a cold hearted bastard but I'd smack her across the face if I could. Thanks for explaining it to me, but I still can't help how I feel.

    For the love of God, just ignore them. It's easy. Here's what you do: you go to that little red X in the top corner of your screen, and you click on it. I know it's all red and scary, but it really helps. It's your happiness button!

    Seriously, why the fuck do people let themselves get so wound up over such a tiny thing? It's like you want to be angry! :P

    And honestly? I use the internet a lot, probably too much, and I've never once run into someone like this. Perhaps you're deliberately seeking out these people to allow yourself to direct anger against them instead of directing it against something worth being angry about.

    • I don't "deliberately seek out" these people, who the fuck as time for that? I use a lot of websites where you interact and see a lot of things from people you don't know, and it just happens to be that way. I like helping out people, people with GENUINE issues. When autistic people message me and say "I'm depressed...my life is like a black void...nothing goes good in mylife" and I ask why, they either have none, or a stupid fucking reason.

      Also, they only talk to me when THEY have a problem. Stop using me, I'm not a fucking psychiatrist thank god.
