X: on Asperger's and inceldom
from The Rexcrim Show Hosted by Mic. in Motion
In which ways should society be more accommodating and how do folks describe their needs? "Inceldom" means different things to different people and some views are more radical and misogynistic than others. I chat with X in terms of his being involuntarily alone and single in context of the neurodevelopmental qualities of Asperger's syndrome. X tells of his struggles with social interaction and nonverbal communication at the ripe age of 22 years as an undergraduate student. We talk about inceldom and the irony of finding community around isolation and concern for “comfort in the suffering". We observe the ease of self-deprecation opposed to the discipline needed to push comfort zones for oneself. We talk about concurrent disorders, experiences of rejection, and the meanings of being a 'weirdo'. X presents as a funny, charming, and honest soul like so many susceptible folks that at one time or another have fallen into the toxic "crab bucket" of self-pity and online groupthink. This one-man-band explains about being shunned and his sense of stigma regarding ableism with introspection on being different.
