Porn also counts as looking at naked ladies and pulling your pickle.

Right now it is lent, a time to destroy old habits. Try these things and get back to me. If it doesn't work, well, I have another idea.

I don't look at anyone naked either.

Well that's good, you are already ahead of everyone else. Are you on mental health meds? I'm convinced the ones I'm taking right now are raping my brain, so I wouldn't be surprised if yours did too.

Yeah I'm on some sadly. I really wish I could get off of them, but I honestly need to move out if I want to do that.

I doubt you are stupid. I'm autistic too and in your situation, and I feel artificially stupified.

You can perform introspection, so you are probably the smart kind of autistic like me. Either really stupid or really smart.

Don't give up YET. There is so much we don't know.

Are you stupid? Did the meds make you incurably stupid or just temporarily? Are you stupid because you haven't been taking care of yourself? Are you stupid because you haven't used your brain for a while? Have you spent too much time on internet forums? That will do it. We don't know. Get the facts before you lose hope.

And if you lose hope, contact me. There may be several final things we can try, but I'd rather not before it is clear you are hopelessly fucked.

Yeah there could be a lot of things that could be doing it. I'm in the process of finding a job rn as well.

Also, I probably need to get referred to occupational therapy. I haven't lost hope at all yet BTW. I just probably need to figure out what caused my IQ to go from 96-104 (and this is calculated) to either 84-92 or 88-96.

You're 23, why the fuck is your family policing whether or not you take drugs? I see that they've gone full Brave New World on you. But anyway, what's so difficult about pretending you take them? And is your psychiatrist still taking you off of pills?

I dunno why. A lot of my relatives spanning from immediate to further are pharma shills. My grandfather was a pharmacist. My older sister and a third cousin of mine are EMTs. Just like how many people buy into the porn lie, my family buys into the pharma lie. My aunt and moms second cousin are the same types that would sperg about the covid vaccines aka anyone who doesn't get it is anti vaxx etc. Yeah my psychiatrist has took me off one pill, I might convince her to help me slowly taper the SNRI poison. I need to count the beads and take 10% off every month.

Sounds good. Best of luck.
