  1. Because of her autism, music's worldview is really innocent and positive with bright colours and these stupid dances whilst in real life she gets chocked out by her "caretaker" (Music)

  2. Most videos Dhar Mann has on autism have them being these really smart people that solve a test or a spelling bee or win a competition

The autistic person being abused by the caretaker is a common thing.

I'm a 43m and am separated. Believe it or not, my wife systematically isolated and controlled me over the 12 year marriage.

Autistic people & Cluster B Narcissists are a common pair. We get comfort in their social certainty. The relationship can be warped really fast.

She did things to me that I just can't discuss. She warped my mind in ways that are hard to express easily.

Ultimately, when I demanded things change, she used my autism to get me arrested. She knew I was easy to "rile up," and she did that, and then called police.

This sounds very similar to my story. I'm sorry that happened to you.

Thanks, with autism they blame you.

"You shouldn't have acted that way."

All I did was raise my voice to my wife in front of a cop. I went "why the fuck did you call police?"

Boom. Thats probable cause to them.

Social rule: do not raise your voice in front of police. Means your guilty.
