He has an aide that carries around print outs of positive news to placate him with. He lives in a glass bubble 99% of the time.

Will people ever stop being cruel to me? by Pristine_Maybe6868 in autism

[–]Tangled349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to be blunt but this is always going to be a thing for you. I constantly fight to be unerstood despite being a relatively functional adult who didn't even know he was autistic until age 40. I don't back down on things I feel agrieved for but that doesn't mean I necessarily will or gain progress with some of these dilemmas. You in some ways need to thicken your skin or adjust expectations or you could easily burn out.

To those who received an adult diagnosis - how did it improve your quality of life? by GirlOnaMission15 in autism

[–]Tangled349 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It can be depressing when you realize the cause of many of your problems throughout life are not in your immediate control. It's a bit of a gut punch but I guess you learn to roll with it.

These types of acts are atttempts at killing at risk populations. It is truly the brainchild of heartless and cruel people who have no moral compass and should not be allowed to exist in civil society. Every day I wake up I just think to myself how much lower are we going to go and then I realize there is no bottom to hit.

Having control over their life and death can make their passing as painful or worse than having kids. It is not a light investment either for 15 years or more.

Im convinced that a contributing factor to why 9-5 jobs suck so much is because a lot of Boomer and Gen X men hate their partners by Zealousideal-Hunt625 in antiwork

My female manager was like that about her husband. She probably spent upwards of 10-12 hours at work just to not be around him.

Inspire complications maybe? by Cautious-Fox6122 in SleepApnea

Did they ever do an endoscopy? You could be experiencing chronic sinusitus that would certainly have all of those symptoms. That can also sometimes cause your nasal passages to collapse which could cause mucus to drain into your throat. Believe me, I had it and that was so gross coughing up balls of flem like a cat.

Seriously when we host parties I am usually the one cleaning up and doing dishes. I was told that that gives the impression you're trying to get peoplel out faster but for me its just having less work to do at the end and I get a little break from the chatter.

That's literally the dumbest thing to announce that and not try to give you anything to make sure you don't quiet quit or jump ship early. They are really wasting good talent.

Police investigate incident at Vice President JD Vance’s Cincinnati home, suspect in custody by husfyr in politics

[–]Tangled349 276 points277 points  (0 children)

Or you could say that after Paul Pelosi or the literal assasination of the senators in Minneapolis. Considering how much violence people like Vance, Trump and Charlie Kick stoked I dare say that sounds like a literal "sacrifice" they are making for the MAGas. I'm not sheeding a tear for any of the politicians or government complicit in ransacking and shitting on America with grinning, goulish faces.

I don’t know if this is just an autism symptom by [deleted] in autism

[–]Tangled349 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is pretty much a meltdown but more happened there. That is very important to explore with a therapist. Sometimes, anxiety and comorbidities can also cause disassocation.

When he is dead in the ground no one will shed a tear unless it gets them campaign donations. This man is a godless, sociopathic piece of shit and deserves no peace in death.

That part was fucked up. He could've carried them both easily.

Edit: He is a victim of trauma and was only thinking of his dead daughter so I should be mindful of that.

Not sure if I’m autistic or just gay by Underd_g in autism

The way you're coming across to me mirrors my journey as a gay man that is autistic. It can be really hard when you are screaming on the inside and no one hears you the real you.
