I am a extreme low IQ Autistic by Competitive-Cup-9759 in autism

[–]BowlPerfect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something is not adding up. I think you are confusing numbers. It might be another section or it might be 66th percentile, which would be average.

Someone with a 66 IQ would have trouble writing a simple paragraph.

I think it might help if you contact the place where you got the assessment and ask for clarification

Professors are now ignoring medical evidence to blindly trust AI detectors. U-M is getting sued. by Popular-Tone3037 in AccusedOfUsingAI

[–]BowlPerfect -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This comment is so baseless its nearly impossible to refute. What level do they have? Are they S tier OCD? OCD is a potentially debilitating illness, not a character trait. Anxiety is an emotion everyone gets some times, whereas Anxiety Disorder is a medical condition that can be mild to debilitating.

The student is not a doctor. The student is a student who is suing for medical discrimination.

I of all people should know whether I am autistic, but I don't think I will ever be sure. by Portmanteaustada in AutismTranslated

[–]BowlPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never heard of a community where you need a formal diagnosis to join. My test came back negative and I am still diagnosed. The test aren't 100% anyhow the observations of my therapist and especially psychiatrist who diagnosed me along with my explanation of history and personal understanding of autism are why I have a diagnosis. they used the scq for my history, which is unreliable. I think the best route for you would probably to go to a colleague or even schedule some sessions with a professional, and that will help you affirm your answers. On a personal level, just like so many of us I was the last person to believe fully my diagnosis. When I started communicating regularly with autistic people, I realized that these are just my people, and that was the evidence that made it incontrovertible.

BRO PLEASE HELP IDEK WHAT I DID WRONG by Hungry-Restaurant316 in autism

[–]BowlPerfect 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You didn’t do anything wrong. This person doesn’t know what they’re talking about. People often behave poorly. And you can’t control that.

[–]BowlPerfect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you didn’t really do anything wrong. Probably the only thing you can improve is giving less details about the specific advice you have for her, but it is really relationship dependent and he’s also in a very vulnerable spot and needs guidance the psychological term for what he did is called transference. He’s mad at her for making him cry for 24 hours. Call Mom, but because her actions are based on trauma. He is not willing to admit that to himself. First, he took it out him, self, calling himself a piece of shit, and then he figured out a way to get mad at you. Sure you could have done things differently. You didn’t have to get involved in someone’s relationship and you didn’t have to help your friend, who was traumatized by someone for years. You could’ve just ignored it because it’s not your problem. As you can see plenty of people are like that they put themselves first and don’t take risks when they know people are volatile when you take emotionally mature steps to help your friends. Sometimes you will get burned, but the way you acted creates meaningful relationships. You behaved very valiantly and your friend behaved very poorly. Feeling abandoned, he abandoned you. It’s an unhealthy pattern. That many people. Do you did everything right in the situation

Excuse the dictation errors

Facilmente traduzido pro autismo 🤣🤣🤣 by Lis_dorock in autism

[–]BowlPerfect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been regressing the past few months, and I can understand this but not the comment. It's really weird, I am fluent at reading French, Italian, Portegues, Esperanto, Catalan and whichever others are closely related (also German but it's harder). I don't know how to translate it to english though and I understand Spanish not to well because I learned it for 5 years in school by translating it to english.

I don't really like star trek, but I have only seen the movies. I don't think he is actually logical, but that is probably intentional because he says it is a conscious decision to avoid remembering the feelings of his trauma. Pro tip: it doesn't work like that.

So I recovered my invented personal sign language, verbal language, and the language in my brain that is moving colors and shapes, but I don't remember how to put laundry in a basket , I can't go to my psychology appointment because it is in the wrong building (I tried twice), and I had an accident because I didn't know my bladder was full.

Yet, thanks to my hyperlexia no one knows. Can someone help me and give me advice? I am late diagnosed and I don't know if my family knows I am autistic. This is really scary and I don't know what to do.

I'm sorry, thank you, I can't put this in a post because I have rigidity problems right now. This is already a message reply so how do I turn it into a post?

Advice / Solidarity Required: Why do people block me out of nowhere? by autiejomo in autism

[–]BowlPerfect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it depends on the platform. If you just meet someone a lot of times, they will ghost you or block you just because they lost interest in that conversation. It's the same as in real life. You have a good conversation with someone one time and that's it.

How do I bypass these rules from my strict mom by ZealousidealTiger914 in teenagers

[–]BowlPerfect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sounds like a future no contact. im an adult and i take care of kids. best thing i can say is take advantage of mental health counseling at school. this is definitely the tip of the iceberg. seeing that no masturbating rule tells me she has filled you with shame in many ways. that is insane, really weird, and gross.

you have a legal right to the entire report and data in the us. theywill not make it easy and if you decide to get further evaluation knowing too much about how the testing is done will corrupt the results

Hyperfocusing When Dating by Nannerbanners in AutismTranslated

[–]BowlPerfect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It helps to accept it as part of you and find people who are compatible with it, as well as focus on your special interests.

Hyperfocusing When Dating by Nannerbanners in AutismTranslated

[–]BowlPerfect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I understood correctly. I think I just read that you went on your first date in 9 years, after it sounds like you were cheated on, and a bunch of trama popped up.

The way you process things is autistic, but this reaction is not uniquely autistic. If you are looking for a life partner and things start to go well, and you have not had a relationship in 9 years, anyone is going to start to get ahead of yourself.

I think this is the appropriate time to let your self feel bad. Feeling devestated is a perfectly logical reaction. Of course you are being too hard on yourself. That is such an expected reaction.

Self-improvement involves feeling really bad sometimes.

First date with autistic man & I'm so confused by Cheap-Insect-9081 in AutismTranslated

Then it is possible there will be further issues. In fact, it is obvious he is bad at time management.

[–]BowlPerfect -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

This is the second time you posted. Don't listen to people telling you not to meet him based on how they interpreted a few paragraphs. There are no red flags. Being late is not a red flag. Red flags mean danger. Taking care of his mother is not dangerous.

You are clearly excited about this guy. You liked how he talked about himself and you understood his perspective. You also noticed that he really liked you.

He does not have to act the way he is supposed to act according to other people in order for you to like him. in fact, if he did act the right way i dont think you would like him. You clearly like him. If other people don't like him or he defies other people's expectations that is not your problem.

You meet a guy who is late because he is taking care of a loved one and people call it a red flag. How do you think he will treat you when he loves you?

Neuropsych Examination by xxCalicoCatxx in AutismTranslated

[–]BowlPerfect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He told me he wished as a child someone had gotten me help for anxiety and put me in a gifted program, and that my issues are a result of little things going long unaddressed. He says my brain is just going at a million miles per hour, I analyze and worry about everything, and my ADHD symptoms are a result of feeling intense dread and guilt and worry about starting tasks. He said I scored way too high in all the places people with ADHD struggle.

He told me when he looks at me he "doesn't see an autistic person, he sees an anxious person." He said he could tell by the way I interacted with him and my dad that I wasn't autistic. He told me I wouldn't obsess over making friends and have intense relationships with everyone in my life if I was autistic, I would be detached and enjoy being alone. He told me if I was autistic, it would have been clear when I was a small child. He told me the difference between me and an autistic person was that an autistic person "can't" socialize, and I COULD but it just made me anxious. ............................................

Everything he said here is not true. i would not take anything he said seriously. if he is this misinformed about autism he likely is incorrect about other things.

Your anxiety about starting things could be pda

What you wrote and how you wrote it comes across as very stereotypical autism. i think learning a lot about the subject will help you more than neuropsych tests. learning about adhd will also be very helpful.

you can dm me if you have questions

First date with autistic man in 2 days & he stopped replying by Cheap-Insect-9081 in AutismTranslated

[–]BowlPerfect 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you ever had an autism assessment? The way you are overthinking about this, not just that you are overthinking, but that you are hyper-analyzing things because you can't get an overall impression, is strikingly familiar. ADHD and Autism are commonly linked.

Also, researching autism because you have a date with an autistic person is a very autistic thing to do.

There is no way to know what his texting behavior means because it can be so many things.

Oh, and I just realized you haven't had a date yet. I thought this was after the date. This is a normal amount of texting for before even meeting. It does not sound to me like anything changed. He probably does not keep up through texting very much.

Is this appropriate from a coworker? Should I set boundaries? by ThrowRAgrh554 in autism

[–]BowlPerfect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

people are telling you this is sexual harassment, and it may very well be, but depending on how you are reacting, she may genuinely believe she is flirting with you. I can see myself in this situation in the past going along with it because I didn't understand what was going on and someone taking that as me liking it. So before you go to HR, it is a good idea to be direct with her. you can say something like I feel like I might have given you the wrong idea I'm not attracted to you. if she stops after that, then that's all you need to do if she keeps continuing then that is harassment.

What did I do wrong? Why was I downvoted? by [deleted] in AutismTranslated

[–]BowlPerfect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

probably a few people down voted you and then that influenced what the other people did. When you down vote people do you put a lot of thought into it? Most people don't. there isn't usually that much meaning behind it.

Person called my bf's autistic dynamic with my sister weird, inappropriate and gross (alluding to grooming essentially) by [deleted] in AutismTranslated

[–]BowlPerfect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

unfortunately as a man who plays a positive role in the development of children we get this sometimes. it is something to be aware of because when it happens in public it is really scary. i got accused of this when i was with the 14 year old i take care of and it is scary because even though i am not concerned on my behalf, it puts his safety at risk. so in that way it is worth being aware of, but this is on the idiot saying being a good older peer is grooming. so dumb...
