I've read the original book. It's basically about Alice interacting with all sorts of characters who speak and think in logical fallacies. Alice feels overwhelmed by this because it doesn't make any sense.
Symbolically, Alice is an autistic girl who is trying to understand normie "logic".
Probably the least crazy character in Wonderland is The Dutchess. At one point, the Dutchess says that the world would be a better place if everyone minded their own business. That's how autistic people often feel. We want to be left alone but our parents keep forcing us to be more social even though being more social sucks.
Normies in the modern world insist that this story is about drugs and/or pedophilia because they're trying to demonize a story that autistic people tend to enjoy.

>In b4 "You should have posted this in /lit/."
I want to talk about the story but I also want this to be another autistic people love thread. This thread would likely get removed from /lit/ for being too off-topic.

i've heard it's about how children in general view the adult world, a bunch of rituals and things which don't make much sense
i've heard other interpretations too, yours is an interesting one

but yeah i don't think it's a drugs/pedophilia story, that's a bad interpretation

Actually she's allegory representative of man entering the industrialized world

It can also be interpreted as a critique of the synthetic nature of the industrialized lifestyle. We get up when it's dark and 55 below to go wander into a blizzard to work. This is just not something a man would ever do unless it was totally necessary before.

There's a lot of layered meaning in there.

You know what OP the autistic read stands too and is now officially canon I'm my interpretation

>chugs crack juice
alright.
I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than having a daugh- oh wait, wrong script. Uhhh...
Oh here we go. Right, so Alice in Wonderland! The whole drug interpretation comes from people who haven't read the original story and either got that tidbit from someone else or heard that one stupid Jefferson Airplane which used Alice's bizarre, colorful imagery as a way to portray what being on drugs is like. I think. I could be wrong there, but the basic idea is Carroll did not intend for drugs to be the main plot of the story. Really, the whole book is a societal satire highlighting the absurdities of the Victorian world by viewing it all through the lens of a child. Whether or not Alice is autistic, I'm afraid I cannot debate.
However, I've been fortunate enough to read Lewis Carroll's diaries, and his obsessions with photography and maths are on full display there. There is a damn good chance Carroll himself was autistic, and in this way I can see the book being used as a tool to elucidate that experience to neurotypical people.

I will note that, I don't know if autism research existed back then in 1800s. The condition isn't new but modern pyschological research and understand is a more recent phenomenon..


I am likely autistic, and I never made that connection. I haven't read the book in a while though.

I am not always against socializing, but that's how I feel sometimes. I don't feel like interacting much with any of the people currently around me.

And within this newfound understanding and humanization of the enemy, i extended forth an official end to all hostilities between down syndrome and autism, effective the moment of signing by the autistic delegation.

Mr. President, please sign this peace accord so that autistics and down syndromes can live in peace once more. We are the same.

No mo wo.

The real enemy has always been the neurotypicals who set us against eachother. The Jews of the chromosomal disposition world.

I curse the normie, I curse the chad

I think this is a big cause of adhd/autism I think parents stress their kids endocrine system to the max at a very young impressionable age (under 3 years) and the brain sort of decides to just withdrawal
>>
Now just imagine if every autistic and down syndrome school shooter had unified and organized instead of throwing their life away in an act of radical but necessary defiance.

We need to think big picho
>>
>>24509159
i dont think thats the only cause.

autism isn't solely related to anti-sociality. the way they think can be different, even if they are social.

They get stressed so young it doesn’t even register as antisocial in their brains, antisocial personality disorders start to form much later and come from an entirely different type of relationship with their parents
