AS AN AUTISTIC INDIVIDUAL, I WILL TREAT TURKISH SOCIETY EXACTLY AS IT DESERVES!

 Turkish society’s Stockholm syndrome, narcissism, and love for its own executioners! Turkish society’s masochistic fantasies, which it tries to conceal, while its members only seem to have the courage to exercise their power over disabled people, autistic people, women and animals!

There is cognitive hypocrisy in this society. Look, distinguish between the Turkish nation and society in Turkey. I am Turkish, but I am talking about society in Turkey. I am not talking about the Turkish people or the Turkish nation, because the Turkish people, the Turkish nation, Kurds, Circassians and Laz people do not commit such atrocities!

NO DECENT HUMAN BEING DOES SUCH THINGS!

10 NOVEMBER — WE COMMEMORATE GAZI MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATÜRK!

IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE, YOU GET FUCKED! IF YOU FUCK THEM, YOU GET LOVED!

“A camel loves thorns; people love those who fuck them.”

These words are not merely profanity. They constitute a harsh social criticism of hypocrisy, selfishness and ingratitude in human relationships.

You show some people love, and they treat you as worthless. You make sacrifices, and they take you for granted. You behave respectfully, and they mistake your respect for weakness.

Yet those very same people bow respectfully before those who treat them rudely, humiliate them, oppress them and violate their rights!

A camel loves thorns; people love those who fuck them!

According to the famous story about the camel and the thorn, a camel injures its mouth while eating thorns, confuses the taste of its own blood with that of the thorns, and continues eating them regardless.

This story also serves as a metaphor for human relationships: some people belittle those who value them whilst glorifying those who harm them.

Associated with the concepts of greed and avarice, this story also raises the question of why human beings sometimes become attached to things that are harmful to them.

The famous words attributed to Yaşar Kemal:

“Those good people mounted those beautiful horses and rode away. We were left with inferior iron and the bastards of humanity.”

The verses of poet Bülent Parlak:

“Yet we were honourable people, Matilda.

We would kiss a piece of bread that had fallen to the ground and raise it to our foreheads.

Was it we who became corrupted, or did the world grow smaller?”

And the words of Cem Yılmaz:

“We’re sitting at home doing absolutely nothing, while apparently the whole neighbourhood is having a fucking orgy! Weren’t we supposed to be the marginal ones? What the fuck are you lot doing?!”

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM ASKING!

WEREN’T AUTISTIC PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO BE THE MARGINAL ONES?

WEREN’T DISABLED PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO BE THE MARGINAL ONES?

WEREN’T WE SUPPOSED TO BE THE “DEFECTIVE”, “SICK”, “MAD”, “TROUBLESOME” AND “PROBLEMATIC” PEOPLE?

What labels have you not attached to us over the years?

You belittled us. You excluded us. You tried to dictate what we could do, how we should live and how we ought to behave!

Now I ask you:

LOOK AT THE REPORTS OF MURDERS, TORTURE, BULLYING AND MAFIA CRIME IN TÜRKİYE!

LOOK AT WHAT IS BEING DONE TO AUTISTIC PEOPLE, DISABLED PEOPLE, WOMEN, CHILDREN AND ANIMALS!

Look at the case in Mersin, where a teacher was prosecuted over allegations of violence against a five-year-old autistic child!

According to an Anadolu Agency report dated 11 August 2026, an expert report established that the child had been subjected to violence on different occasions. On 29 September 2026, the case was referred to a high criminal court on charges of ill-treatment amounting to torment.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE MAFIA? ORGANISED CRIME? FRAUD? THREATS? EXTORTION? DRUG TRAFFICKING?

NOW LET ME ASK YOU!

DID WE MURDER AHMET MINGUZZI?

DID WE CARRY OUT THE EVENTS OF 6–7 SEPTEMBER?

DID WE COMMIT THE MARAŞ MASSACRE?

DID WE COMMIT THE ÇORUM MASSACRE?

DID WE COMMIT THE SIVAS MASSACRE?

DID WE COMMIT THE MASSACRES AGAINST ALEVIS?

DID WE MURDER WOMEN?

DID WE TORTURE CHILDREN?

DID WE TORTURE ANIMALS?

DID WE ESTABLISH THE MAFIA?

WEREN’T WE SUPPOSED TO BE ABNORMAL? WEREN’T WE SUPPOSED TO BE PROBLEMATIC?

THE PERPETRATORS OF ALL THESE MURDERS, MASSACRES AND ACTS OF BULLYING CAME FROM AMONG THE VERY PEOPLE YOU PRESENTED TO US AS NORMAL!

TO THOSE WHO DARE TO QUESTION AUTISTIC PEOPLE’S LIVES, PROFESSIONS, INDEPENDENCE AND CHOICE OF MARRIAGE PARTNER!

FIRST CONFRONT THE MURDERS, MASSACRES, TORTURE AND HYPOCRISY WITHIN YOUR OWN SOCIETY!

AUTISM IS NOT A CRIME! DISABILITY IS NOT A CRIME!

MURDER IS A CRIME! TORTURE IS A CRIME! BULLYING IS A CRIME! MASSACRE IS A CRIME!

WE ARE NEITHER ANGELS, NOR DEVILS, NOR ROBOTS! WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS!

WE WILL NOT ASK ANYONE’S PERMISSION TO BE HUMAN!

WE DID NOT STAGE THE MILITARY COUPS! WE AUTISTIC PEOPLE DID NOT CARRY OUT THE 15 JULY COUP ATTEMPT!

DID WE STAGE THE MILITARY COUP OF 27 MAY 1960?

DID WE ISSUE THE MILITARY MEMORANDUM OF 12 MARCH 1971?

DID WE STAGE THE MILITARY COUP OF 12 SEPTEMBER 1980?

DID WE DIRECT THE PROCESS OF 28 FEBRUARY 1997?

DID WE ISSUE THE E-MEMORANDUM OF 27 APRIL 2007?

DID WE AUTISTIC PEOPLE CARRY OUT THE COUP ATTEMPT OF 15 JULY 2016?

NO!

WE DID NOT STAGE THE MILITARY COUPS!

WE AUTISTIC PEOPLE DID NOT CARRY OUT THE 15 JULY COUP ATTEMPT!

Why do you attempt to hold us autistic individuals accountable for the deprivation of people’s freedoms, torture, executions, political bans, coups and military interventions by interfering in our lives?

WE DID NOT ORCHESTRATE THE 17–25 DECEMBER PLOT!

Look at the court rulings and the cases concerning alleged conspiracies that became public!

Look at the files concerning alleged infiltration of state institutions, illegal wiretapping, and organisational networks within the judiciary and police!

WE DID NOT CREATE THE SECTARIANISM AND RELIGIOUS OPPRESSION OF THE PRE-1980 PERIOD!

Remember the sectarian conflicts before 1980!

Remember the attacks against Alevis, Maraş and Çorum!

Remember how people were targeted because of their religious sect!

This is precisely the mentality I oppose: a mentality that humiliates people on the grounds of religion and religious denomination!

WE AUTISTIC PEOPLE DID NOT CREATE THIS SECTARIAN MENTALITY!

WE WERE NOT THE ONES WHO DIVIDED PEOPLE ACCORDING TO THEIR RELIGION, SECT OR BELIEFS!

WE AUTISTIC PEOPLE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MASSACRES OF THE WORLD!

Look at the wars throughout world history!

Look at the genocides!

Look at the massacres!

Look at the religious and sectarian conflicts!

Look at the historical events in which people murdered and tortured one another, destroyed cities and massacred innocent human beings!

YOU CANNOT PLACE THE BLAME FOR ALL THESE MASSACRES UPON US AUTISTIC PEOPLE!

WE AUTISTIC PEOPLE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MURDERS, MASSACRES, COUPS AND ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY OTHERS!

WE DO NOT DESERVE THIS INJUSTICE!

To those who lecture us about being normal!

To those who lecture us about integrating into society!

To those who dare to dictate how we should live, how we should speak, which professions we should pursue, whom we should befriend and whom we should marry!

LOOK AT THIS HISTORY FIRST!

DID WE STAGE THE COUPS?

DID WE EXECUTE PEOPLE?

DID WE COMMIT SECTARIAN MASSACRES?

DID WE MURDER CHILDREN?

DID WE TORTURE HUMAN BEINGS?

Among the very people you presented to us as normal were coup plotters, murderers, torturers, mafia members and organised crime bosses!

Yet you still question our autism!

WE DO NOT DESERVE THIS INJUSTICE!

WE DO NOT DESERVE THIS DISCRIMINATION!

WE DO NOT DESERVE THIS HUMILIATION!

AUTISTIC PEOPLE ARE NOT ANGELS! THEY ARE NOT DEVILS! THEY ARE NOT ROBOTS! THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS AND INDIVIDUALS!

WEREN’T WE SUPPOSED TO BE THE MARGINAL ONES?

WEREN’T WE SUPPOSED TO BE SOCIETY’S PROBLEMATIC PEOPLE?

To those who interfere with an autistic person’s right to speak, think, live independently, pursue a profession, establish a company, write a book and wish to marry!

LOOK AT THESE THINGS FIRST!

Look at violence against women!

Look at the murders of children!

Look at the bullying and torment inflicted upon disabled individuals!

Look at the torture of animals!

Look at the mafia, extortionists, fraudsters, corruption, drug trafficking, human trafficking, sexual abuse and all the reports concerning these crimes!

You dare to declare yourselves normal and us abnormal!

THE PEOPLE YOU CALL NORMAL ALSO INCLUDE THOSE WHO COMMIT THESE CRIMES!

So is being autistic the problem, or is it the act of torturing another human being or an animal?

Is being disabled the problem, or is it murdering, threatening, defrauding and exploiting people?

WHY DO THOSE WHO QUESTION MY AUTISM NOT SHOW THE SAME COURAGE WHEN CONFRONTED WITH THESE CRIMES?

WHY DOES YOUR COURAGE ONLY EXTEND TO AUTISTIC PEOPLE, DISABLED PEOPLE, WOMEN, CHILDREN AND ANIMALS?

Weren’t we supposed to be the marginal ones?

Why is a person’s autism or disability constantly questioned, whilst the hypocrisy, selfishness, corruption and bullying within society are not challenged with the same severity?

There is also that famous saying:

“The state’s wealth is an ocean; anyone who doesn’t help themselves is a fool!”

I have never been part of that mentality.

If I am to be called a “fool” because I have never taken what belongs to others, because I have never infringed upon anyone else’s rights, and because I have chosen to remain honest…

YES, I THANK GOD THAT I AM THAT FOOL!

To me, honesty is not stupidity.

Treating people with respect is not weakness.

Loving, making sacrifices, respecting other people’s rights and having a conscience are not things to be ashamed of.

What truly deserves to be questioned is the mentality that belittles people who possess these values whilst rewarding bullying and selfishness!

AUTISTIC PEOPLE ARE NOT ANGELS! THEY ARE NOT DEVILS! THEY ARE NOT ROBOTS! THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS AND INDIVIDUALS!

Disabled people are not society’s mascots, mannequins or objects upon which others may demonstrate their power!

I say these things based on what I have experienced from childhood until the age of 32.

And I am giving my response through my writings, my documents and my work, Feriköy Ağıdı.

My struggle is not about harming others; it is about defending my own rights, dignity, independence and freedom of expression.

I WILL TREAT YOU EXACTLY AS YOU DESERVE! THERE WILL BE NO POLITENESS, NO COURTESY! LET YOUR FEELINGS BE HURT! LET YOUR PRIDE BE WOUNDED!
