I am autistic, and expecting me to prefer asking people to do things and building community, instead of being fine with solitariness and the tools that help me achieve it, feels a bit ableist tbh.

    It's always the same with those "allies". "Conform to our arbitrary rules or we will oppress you again"

    You chose to write a comment to another human being about how you would like to be treated. Imagine if, through doing that, the people you still have to interact with in your daily life learn to actually treat you that way - that too is community. A neighbor getting groceries for you so you don't have to go for an overstimulating store and so you can have them arrive at your door within a one minute interval from 10:00 to 10:01 on tuesday and friday is community. Someone tailoring your shirts so you don't notice any friction against your skin anymore is community. The tools that capitalism can provide are depersonalized, poorly fitting, and often malicious, but a community can work with you can come to understand you and learn to fit your needs better than anything you're likely to be able to buy.

    I literally said that building community is _inconvenient_ (for everyone).

    You literally need community as a great ape of a social species. It doesn’t have to be huge but something fundamental is missing when we don’t have community.

    I'm also autistic. You are, in fact, going to have to interact with other people at some point.
