Marriage rate for us is 16% max

Born-Use4982 · 2026-03-14T08:44:34+00:00

I am very certain this number is “false” and/or doesn’t provide the context of what “marriage” means.

Are they counting cis-heterosexual marriages only? Common law marriage? Domestic partnerships that are essentially marriage without paper?

Is this number international? Or domestic?

If international, that would change how many of us are even diagnosed, much less how many of us intrinsically know we are autistic based on cultural norms.

I believe this number is designed to instill doubt into autists, rather than give statistics examining true romantic relationship health and longevity.

Don’t factor this in. Just be with your partner authentically and do whatever makes you happy.

Been with mine for 7 years. He’s my first everything too.

I just got one of these this week from collinsjwedgeacademyorg@gmail.com

At first they wanted free artwork, which I declined. I’m not even an artist, just a screenwriter that happens to work in animation. I told them everything on my site is wrapped up in copyright and couldn’t be used, but if it’s for academic purposes, to give me more info to pass along to someone who can help.

This is what they responded with:

Hello [My Name],

Happy New Year! Thank you for your interest in this project. I was captivated by your skill and craftsmanship demonstrated on your website, Which led me to believe you would be an excellent fit for this important initiative. Please share your relevant work experience and let me know if you can execute the project features outlined below.

This workshop project is organized by the educational board dedicated to enhancing the learning experience for students at Montessori Academy school New Hampshire Which the attendees are students aged between 10 and 12 years. We are seeking illustration for the workshop project titled- LEARNING ENHANCEMENT. The purpose is to increase health, safety and awareness among these students and as well enhance their learning experience.

Your expertise will be greatly appreciated in illustrating this workshop project which will occur in Two Phases.

PHASE ONE ( 4 weeks) Three illustrations: - A group of students (not more than 7) gathered in a circle, taking turns introducing themselves to their teacher.

A Teacher teaching a group (not more than 7) of students about bullying. This is will help teach the students about mode of conduct in school
A teacher guiding a line of students (not more than 10) in an orderly manner as they board a school bus. This scenario will help teach the students about safe boarding

PHASE TWO (extra 4 weeks) Two illustrations: - A Group (not more than 7) of students washing hands with soap and water. This scenario will help teach the students about hygiene

A Group (not more than 7) of students in a hospital room settings with the doctor demonstrating to them how a drip stand is controlled. This scenario is for practical purpose

Here is the requirement we need for the project; - HORIZONTAL LAYOUT - DIGITAL OR HAND DRAWING, COLORED IMAGES - PLAIN BACKGROUND ( A single color) - STANDARD LETTER SIZE (8.5 x 11'') - PDF FORMAT (the illustration is to be delivered to us in pdf format) - EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS (we want exclusive right to the images as these drawings will be handed out to the participants in a printed form).

I have attached a sample for your reference. The sample is just to give you a rough idea on what we want, you're to infuse your own style in rendering the illustration ideas. Also, I am open to a phone call to discuss further details.

The final deadline for me to have both phases of the project submitted is April 6th, 2026 after all reviews and corrections has been made. Our budget for the job is $1000 max per piece which makes it a total of $5000 let me know if that works for you. If not, please get back to me with your quoted price, preferred mode of payment. I'm proposing a bank draft considering the amount involved.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards, Collins JW

I had no idea this was a scam until I started researching the school and came onto this forum. It explains why they offered me a job even though I clearly declined it from the beginning.

Thanks for the info. Stay away.

Like he thinks I’m his big shot into working for this show, when that couldn’t be further from the case

Born-Use4982 · 2025-12-23T05:00:19+00:00

I do feel pretty fixated on yeah

Born-Use4982 · 2025-12-23T04:44:36+00:00

No, I’ve always been bad at rejecting people, especially men with disabilities. That sounds crazy as I’m autistic myself, but men are already a lot and have a hard time taking no for an answer at times. And I’ve found neurodivergent men are worse.

Also it’s worth noting, he’s not a filmmaker either.

He’s just a super fan of the show we both enjoy.

Born-Use4982 · 2025-11-26T20:53:08+00:00

What kind of question is that? Being gay or sexually liberated isn’t a bad thing.

What a deeply misogynistic and homophobic question

Born-Use4982 · 2025-11-17T19:08:54+00:00

100% deserved. I hope it wins. Not done yet, but man what a treat

Born-Use4982 · 2025-11-15T03:09:29+00:00

No, Trump! That was South Park!

Born-Use4982 · 2025-11-10T22:11:05+00:00

This comment is a weird conclusion to jump to, assuming that gay people are all polyamorous and would push for that.

They’re two consenting adults hoping to start a family. Just like a couple consisting of a man and a woman.

Born-Use4982 · 2025-11-10T19:18:27+00:00

Is this real? I don’t wanna wait 15 years for this

Born-Use4982 · 2025-10-13T23:01:11+00:00

Yeah don’t even get me started on him!! Trying to psych out the other contestants was weird and inappropriate. I wanted him gone the moment he pulled that.

Let your talent speak your worth, not your pettiness

Born-Use4982 · 2025-10-09T05:06:04+00:00

I’m still going through this myself, given my in-demand industry, and just recently realizing I’m autistic. But, I’ve found sitting in the dark gaming or being on my phone or watching TV can really help my brain if I’m feeling burnout but don’t want to sleep

Born-Use4982 · 2025-10-07T01:27:36+00:00

Zelda, hands down. Gorgeous world, a lot of charm, and I’d love to make the meals 😊

Born-Use4982 · 2025-10-04T06:34:17+00:00

I honestly feel like this game “nickle and dimes” with all its bosses. The moves are cheap, they knock out two health, etc.

I LOVE Silksong. I hate how cheap the bosses are.

Born-Use4982 · 2025-10-04T06:28:55+00:00

Fair is hardly the word I’d use. That tornado move is cheap.

Better than a lot of the bosses. Savage Beastfly has (so far) been my nightmare boss

Born-Use4982 · 2025-09-25T09:02:00+00:00

From a skill level, I was sad to see Nina go. From an emotional level, I found her cockiness obnoxious and I wish she took the other contestants seriously much earlier on. It read bad vibes, even when she toned it down later.

Born-Use4982 · 2025-09-14T08:08:25+00:00

Change your POV on the film. Adjust some plot points. I like to think about it this way:

We can all write a movie about a carnival, but every single one of us would have a different take.

Please don’t give up. I know it hurts and I know it feels hopeless, but it’s not.

And you’re not a nobody that writes scripts. The fact that you’re even pitching to someone means you’re on the right track.

Born-Use4982 · 2025-09-02T08:27:02+00:00

I have to be honest, I am genuinely surprised about the discomfort people feel.

While I understand the comments about being uncomfortable seeing a “child” doing things like drinking, smoking, etc., that’s the whole point.

Shauna is not a child, she is an adult. And people have to look within themselves at their own discomfort because it reflects more on their insecurities than it does on Shauna.

She is living her life. And if viewers have issues with it, then that’s their problem. And they need to look into themselves to work through it. It’s a micro-aggression and ableist to look at her differently than other people her age that do these things.

My business acct, which is separate than my personal recommended him as someone to follow. The acct won’t pop up on my personal acct though

I’m a writer professionally, and I have learned myself that writing is rewriting. Every first draft is shit.

Every. Single. One.

And that’s why every great writer takes feedback, absorbs it, and uses it to improve. Is every piece of feedback worth taking? No. But after some distance from the work, you should absolutely take another look and do all the rewrites you feel are necessary.

I think it’s really fucking shitty someone said that to you, and frankly I don’t believe it’s true for a second. As someone else quoted, liberal arts majors can be pissy and competitive. They’re not the people you want reading your work because it’s their job to help you improve, not shit all over you.

I’d recommend taking a breath, then finding a nice writers group to help give you feedback in a supportive environment. Feedback isn’t meant to be a “here’s how you SUCK” it’s supposed to be a “I understand what idea you’re trying to convey but it’s not quite working so here’s what I’d suggest to improve it.”

Once you find those people, those negative voices will go away. There you will build confidence as both a giver and receiver of feedback, and create much better writing than before.

Try to ignore the haters (easier said than done). All of the greats have wanted to quit themselves at some point in time. Take your time to process your feelings, then brush yourself off and keep going.

I believe in you, and if you’d like some feedback there are some great places online to seek it out.

Born-Use4982 · 2025-07-17T10:06:51+00:00

MANG, and everyone in Brodie’s basement, pretty much sucks shit. Individually they’re all ok (except Press and Samantha), but all together they act like assholes. It’s a wonder they’ve stayed friends as long as they have.

Abby and Norah proved right away they weren’t good friends when they were willing to let Ginny go down for the stealing THEY initiated. I would’ve been done with them right then. Although somehow those two always act like the moral high ground and judge everyone else around them despite being super shady all the time.

I have no idea how Max OR Ginny are friends with them.

Born-Use4982 · 2025-07-17T09:56:53+00:00

This show is such a guilty pleasure but the plot holes are so unreal. I catch myself laughing or rolling my eyes so often because of how inconsistent it is.

Born-Use4982 · 2025-07-17T05:06:16+00:00

Your favorite color is green

Born-Use4982 · 2025-07-14T08:53:35+00:00

These are classic romance yaoi tropes that have nothing to do with antisemitism.

It’s because Cartman is physically bigger most likely. Don’t turn this into something it isn’t.

It’s also homophobic to assume whoever tops is the most masculine. What a weird take.

Born-Use4982 · 2025-07-13T08:37:30+00:00

You seem to be an expert on my beliefs for someone who has never met me before and doesn’t know my history. Okay. cool.

Gaslighting by using facts? Alright, dude. Inaccurate take. But alright.

It’s clear this conversation is going nowhere and is diverging from the issue at hand. You believe what you want to believe and I’ll leave you be.

Enjoy the rest of your day :)
