Why you should get a botox, if you are autistic but not disabled by it

The clinic I went to last time was telling women that botox is healthy. It will leave their skin healthier because it relaxes the muscles and much like when we use antidepressants, our skin needs a little medical help to feel relaxed. Obviously this is straight up bullsh!t.

Here's the benefit though. If you have sensory sensitivities, like from Au/DHD, or heavy trauma, you will get that flared up some times. You also might get triggered some days.

With botox, you can still go to work or to gym without getting the inevitable public harassment for having 'mistreated vibe'. The toxin forces your facial muscles to relax, so the pain won't show on your face.

Therapy is infinite and your self-confidence a sin wave not because that's how your brain works, but because as soon as you are unaccompanied while looking like you are tired and in pain, opportunistic abusers will go for it. With neurological illness like autism you get that perpetually every few weeks, forever (and then you get told you are making it up to seek attention).

I am aware that there's some similarity to POC bleaching their skin. For myself, at this point I don't care. If you feel like your resources are finite and on the brink, don't try to do the reasonable thing. Just get botox.

To the love of your life, when you meet her

I don't speak to my family except for legal matters or when someone dies. It's been like this for some fifteen years now, which is about the half of my life. My uncle died, as it turns out. Hadn't thought of him for years. Suddenly I was faced with the gaping difference of my opinion of him as a child versus now, judging from the same facts. Yes! He's dead and I'm going to speak bad about him. Shocking, I know. Earlier this year I met a woman who reminded me of my cousin. I never meet women who remind me of her! A butch but soft-hearted lesbian with a buzz cut. When we were kids everyone thought she was a boy. This woman was just like that, even the stories she shared about her family were quite familiar. It's been years since my cousin got her heart broken. The love of her life, possibly. They were so good together, I enjoyed hanging out with them together more than with each separately. The girlfriend broke off the engagement because my cousin's family...

Character breakdown

A lot in this book is familiar. One of the authors is a soldier, the other a sociologist, so that's a fair combination of hands on and theory. They will usually take a real example from the US army - either training or combat - and show how the character and leadership of the people in charge contributed to either the failure or the success of the project. Army is strictly hierarchical, so it's mostly giving that bad character of the commander eventually leads to character breakdown of the whole unit. People will at best stop communicating, usually start low-key abusing each other in a way that still can pass off as a joke and at worst commit violent crimes and so on. I like the conclusion they make, which is (obviously?) to fucking stay away from people with a characterless sort of behavior. If you work with them, you've got to find something reportable on them to get rid of them. If they are your friends, you need new friends. If they are your entire neighborh...
