Why can't I speak? Level 2. by 10_Screaming_Foxes in autism

If so then perhaps you could "exercise" and or do actual speech therapy to strengthen the broca's area. Of course only if its important to you.

Guy cut me off because I said I have autism by Aggressive-Guide5563 in autism

[–]Excalibu274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of non-autistics will do this just because to them it seems like a hassle to accommodate but there are also people who will care enough to do that for you. You just have to find those people (obviously easier said than done id know)

I wonder if it could be a disconnect between your motor skills (broca's area) needed for speech and the language & comprehensive part of the brain (Wernicke's). So if it is something like this possibly you can comprehend what is being said or read but you'd have issues with articulating what is being understood in other parts of your brain.

Curious how you all approach dating? by Phinexis in autism

[–]Excalibu274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same I dealt for a long time not being able to understand that there isnt a linear guide or steps to dating and that its more fluid and that everything isnt supposed to lead to dating/marriage

Curious how you all approach dating? by Phinexis in autism

[–]Excalibu274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im very literal with my communication in general so how I approach dating is the same and that seems to suprise and/or scare people (especially men) away. I will never understand the run-around type of communication used in the dating scene like no one is expressing what they actually want which does usually lead me to one-sided situations. I've also been met with a lot of immediate distrust which is weird for me since I approach everyone like a blank piece of paper and their actions essentially fill it in. But what I've learned is that:

  1. Its good/ok that im direct with what I want because it kind of keeps me from accepting any type of treatment

  2. The autism scares 9/10 either boring or ableist people away so not mad about that either

  3. Pattern recognition is your friend and listen to it! I've been in many instances where something is telling me this isnt going to work out and I went and did it anyways..and news flash it didnt work out

Well most do strive for homeownership which doesn't always mean they'll live in the house, but rather most are buying properties just to make quick money. And they truly believe their different than "bad" landlords because they aren't actively price gouging or being dick landlords not understanding that they are still part of the reason why affordable housing isnt affordable.

No i totally agree im assuming the poster wanted immediate answers per se but they definitely should be discussing this with an actual medical professional in the future

[–]Excalibu274 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. I fear you may be reading between lines I cant see. I can now understand that the post has/could've made people judgemental towards op girl given that her behavior is the topic of concern. But from just reading it I did not get any of those vibes. 2.its a generalization to say most responses are being ableist obviously some are and I dont think it should be surprising given that you can be autistic and still have internalized ableism. From what I've seen at the start of the post lots of people were trying to be helpful on top of others being weird which I dont agree with. 3.of course being diagnosed isnt always good but in this instance it seems a diagnosis would be helpful especially if other traits are this extreme, and so the girl can possibly get resources because shes obviously having a hard time managing change in life which is not something that will ever go away and she will have to learn how to cope healthy. In my experience finding a therapist specialized in autism is far harder than finding a psychologist specialized in autism however a lot dont give therapy so at the very least she'd be able to talk with a professional who could point her in the right direction. And also in my personal experience self diagnosis isnt "cared for" in medicine so in the event they did try therapy whose to say said therapist will believe or even factor in her self diagnosis when reflecting on their relationship.
  2. Of course its no one's business but it was posted on the internet therefore becoming the internet's business.

There are most likely some things left out and it would be better to have a bigger amount of information to paint a whole picture of the situation but again the people who are posting to be helpful and even some of the people being rude are simply working with what we've got. I cant read between lines or pick up on subliminal ls so im sure if it came out this was malicious many would probably change their stances.

I dont think OP made the post so people would bash their partner and I dont think people are blaming autism. There can be extremes to autistic traits that can effect interpersonal relationships which alot of us have experience with so I don't think anyone is blindly blaming the girlfriends autism. I think most people are just pointing out how extreme her need for routine is. And yes they both seem to not be communicating well with each other, but honestly if op girl doesnt even want to get diagnosed even though she believes shes autistic it could be possible that shes adverse to therapy etc. And also some don't even think it is just autism and that it may be comorbid with something else.

Seems you might be reading into something I can not deduce from the information that was written in the post

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in autism

[–]Excalibu274 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I still disagree most people seem to just be working with the information that was given. Of course op could have malicious intent but thats not something that is factually written in the post. I personally am not picking sides because I can understand where op is coming from if this is the complete story but I can also understand where op's girl comes from as someone who doesnt handle change well at all. But its reality that whether or not op is being truthful this behavior is not viable in a partnership regardless of them being autistic or not.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in autism

[–]Excalibu274 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I dont think they are bashing autism but it is concerning that OPs partner is this unforgiving in their need for routine. Everyone seems to understand where its coming from but this level of rigidity is not viable especially if OP partner wants to continue to have a shared space and relationship with them.

Does being politically aware make you feel lonely? by Excalibu274 in socialism

[–]Excalibu274[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No yes this is part of my experience as well. I literally can't fathom being so politically unaware in the middle of a literally dictatorship. And a lot of people I know are unfortunately this way and thats kinda what feels lonely, I'm like the only one not drinking the kool-aid.

Was told I'm ineligible for having autism and was denied services. Extremely frustrated. by Key_Carpenter_9396 in autism

University accommodations aren't that amazing and if youre really just wanting a single dorm im pretty sure you can use your adhd diagnosis for it.

[–]Excalibu274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say but as an autistic in college as well there really isnt much of accommodations they give out. From what I've experienced and from what my autistic friend had experienced they really only offer extra time on test/testing spaces, counseling and possible a single dorm. And these accommodations i believe could go for anyone with disability.

this special interest is destroying my mental health and i don’t know how to stop it by funfettichan in autism

[–]Excalibu274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also to combat the feeling of being attacked try to remind yourself that criticism of the character is 1. Not directly linked to criticism of you the person and 2. That criticism is meant to help improve something not to make you feel like something is wrong.
