I’ll tell you what, I’ll take another week of the HIV anyday, but this Autism stuff was the worst. Right now it’s just hives, which for most people would be a total pain in the ass, but when you have CDD you pray for days or weeks when rashes or halitosis are your only worries.
Chronic Disorder Disorder plagues 1 in 6,790,062,216 people, which basically means I’m the only person in the world with this shit. In short, CDD is a disorder where at any given moment you could have any given disorder known to man. The disorders usually only last for 8 days or so, but can last as little as 24 hours, and I think the longest I’ve ever had one for was at summer camp where I endured 3 months of anorexia.
The things you’d think would be the worst really aren’t too bad when only lasting about a week, but the short stints of disorders like diabetes or hair loss can be a total nightmare.
Still I stand behind the statement that I never again want to live with Autism. I’ll take another dose of multiple personalities…hell I’ll even take another couple days of being a harlequin kid. Being Autistic was terrible because I knew everything. Most people think that Autistic people are very smart and that they are special in their own ways, and that they’re really good with numbers and shit like that. However, what nobody REALLY knows is that Autistic people know EVERYTHING! This is why they shake, this is why they have a hard time communicating, and this is partially why they are able to pass school without trying (the other reason being that they are stuck in a class full of REAL retarded kids). Never again do I want to be the knower of all, it’s extremely draining. Can you imagine being an adult, knowing everything in the world, and having people talk to you the same way they talk to babies?
There is nothing more annoying than being the all knowing, not being able to communicate, and having people speaking slowly and saying things like, “Haaaaaay bud…h-o-w-a-r-e-y-o-u?” and then your only capable response is a gentle rocking back and forth that progressively gets more intense and a, “I…I’m-i’m…Hi..I’m. I’m good thank you kindly.” and then having to see people face melt because, “ooooh, you’re SO ADORABLE!”
A week ago I was Autistic, and I knew everything about everything but the only knowledge I obtained from the experience was how much it sucked.
