My experience of the institutional world is that it is filled with non-autists who are emoting a lot and are trying to manipulate the world into their image rather than trying to line everything up with simplicity. It is exhausting to model and participate in. My worst fear is that when this all goes down someone will tap me on the shoulder and ask me to do a "real job" again. Not sure I am capable of re-entering the structured, timed, organised world.
hahaha - I am literally laughing out loud at this Martin..7 months ago I retired from a very well paying job - I simply could not concentrate on that work - when the important work needed to be done. I actually suffered a little PTSD for a while after retiring - waking up at 3:00 AM thinking OMG I am not prepared for a meeting. Lot's less extra cash - but lot's more joy in my life now - even in the middle of this movie. So I get it!
