@filmfreak75@mastodon.social @autistics@fedigroups.social breaks my heart every time i see parents forcing their children to make eye contact. the times ive needed children to face me (because i can't hear what they're saying if they face away) i'll just say something like "hey can you talk to my ear?" and it works.
@aisling @filmfreak75 @autistics Many years ago (long before I knew I was autistic) I went to a lecture that stuck with me (and still does) on autism. She had a few examples of specific people/scenes, from her life as a teacher.
In one instance a child needed to get something mathematical explained to them, and she went "look at me closely" and started explaining. And at the end of the explanation, kid had absolutely no idea what had been said *but* knew that the teacher had a tiny spot on their right eyelid. Because they'd looked at her closely, as she told them.
Another (not related to eye contact) was a student that she had to expand the explanation of "I'm busy teaching" several times, because the things the student saw as important for there to be teachings/class going on weren't always there. Like, sometimes when she taught there was a projector ... but not always. Sometimes the desks were in a row, other times in groups. Etc.

that phrase, “forcing conformity,” it’s awful because people have to conform - but it’s worse that they clearly think they are forcing a conformism to something other than just force. Forced conformity means everyone must use force.
.
Means to an end they think, but the fucking means never end and simply grow and reproduce. They think force is consequence free magic, they think they can force anything, even peace and love and they can’t figure out why it doesn’t work.@punishmenthurts conformity is always forced in all my workplaces
now that i push back on it so much, i’m in the phase of being actively “othered” as a form of retaliation to try to get me back in line
it's not working and some are not happy about that

it’s their disability to be blind to their force.

Yeah, I’m stuck right there.
.
The intentions aren’t personal and aren’t all today, but they’re there. it’s group intent, and a multigenerational function and they’re all bred for this denial, they will not analyze themselves.
.
I feel like I’ve figured it out, but I cannot figure out how to make them realize that they need to know. -
