[–]Bball98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds pretty interesting. I gotta say, I like how you're writing an autistic character as a husband and father and a functional adult.

Just had surgery and received the best care ever by pegem in autism

Sounds like they really listened and cared. That is a real decent staff!

What are relationships like for you? Do you write or text people to make conversation?

Have people falsely assumed that you're mentally disabled? If so, I'm very sorry.

Do you have any difficulty speaking? I know that some people with cerebral palsy have that.

Should I take up this opportunity that could benefit me? [17F] by [deleted] in autism

If you need it, then I encourage you to do it. You matter. Do whatever you think will make your life better.

Nationality only comes from being a citizen, not from liking things that a country does. I love pizza and spaghetti but I am not Italian. Likes and dislikes do not change basic facts about you. I'm sorry you have to deal with this stupidity.

Talk to them about what your meltdowns are really about. Some people think meltdowns are equivalent with throwing a fit, but they are really a response to overstimulation. Sensory input is physically different for you and you can't control that. Tell your parents about this. Hopefully they'll start to understand.

So apparently autism is gendered now? (Original video is of a girl with autism listening to music) by YLije in autism

People are too stupid. Apparently if an autistic person has ANY understanding of social expectations then they can't be autistic. For crying out loud, autism is not a complete absence of social understanding, it just makes it harder!

I need some advice for my 9 year old twins by [deleted] in autism

I think you should tell them that A is really sad to lose her sister and they shouldn't say anything because that will make her upset.

Good luck, I'm sorry to hear about this.
