   @hosford42 @pathfinder @actuallyautistic Thank you for sharing that. I feel better knowing it's not just me.
   My former roommmate keaving a hairdryer on as a heater for 3 days was pure torture. It ended in severe meltdown in which I threw a heater at him. He didn't take it, but the hairdryer stopped and this incident was never spoken of. I think I scared him.

     @pathfinder @actuallyautistic I won't say it hasn't crossed my mind, ever. When you're being actively tortured by someone who just scoffs and doubles down when you tell them how much you are suffering, it's hard not to have occasional thoughts of violence.

     I'm sure some non-autistic person will read this and be scandalized because they assume it's minor suffering. It is not. I've said it elsewhere, and I'll say it again: I would rather be punched in the face than forced to listen to a barking dog for an extended time. If I would choose something that undeniably qualifies as physical violence against my person over sensory overload, that makes it very clear the extent to which it makes me suffer.

     @hosford42 @actuallyautistic
     I have seriously considered murdering someone, though.
