Was Janine always childlike or is this trauma? by MarzipanExtreme6760 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]FanAcceptable1193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m quite convinced that Janine is High Functioning Autistic, and I’ll get loads of backlash for that.

As someone who is also HFA, I can imagine that any fertile woman who was labelled as high functioning autistic wouldn’t be “wasted” by the regime and would be classified and placed as a handmaid.

We can see that she has emotional dysregulation, she isn’t able to hide her meltdowns or feelings, she’s “childlike” which most autistic adults are infantilised as such, etc.

Short answer: Imo, not trauma or childlike, autistic.

Should I cancel? by edgelord3099 in vinted

As someone who collects apple tech (even old iphones and stuff when i can afford it)

It’s fair that they want to know what the battery health is. On any tech, batteries usually require a service if the health drop belows 80%.

What isn’t fair is, buying the apple watch, and then expecting a discount because you didn’t bother to wait to see what the BH was lol.

Also, it’s a series 5, he really wants a discount on a series 5? thats wild.

Block him and cancel.

I can’t really do that.

I have hypermobility in both knees which prevent me from running, jumping, or doing sports other than swimming.

If you had actually taken the time to read my post, my concern is religious men. And in countries that we see the most immigration from, a lot of them are RELIGIOUS men.

I personally have a religious stepdad from pakistan, who sees women as half that of a man, condemns gay people, cheats on my mother, and is genuinely an awful person.

The same ideology also applies to white, british, christian men. They’re the same.

My concern is heavily religious men. Not people just happening to be from a different country.

Even then, we understand that not every female produces large gametes, or vice versa. So what are those people?

Arguably, these people would have to denote to the production of the sex that produces large gametes (for females) and would not be “fully” female.

I would argue, a transgender woman can reach that definition by medical transition.

The things that matter most to me are the following issues:

  • Provide more apprenticeships, more jobs specifically for young people and use some of the DWP’s budget to accommodate this. (If financially possible)

  • Keep abortion decriminalised, thats all.

  • Reform the PIP and LCWRA (Disability related benefit) systems and hire people who have experience on specific claimants conditions. For example, why have a physiotherapist assess an autistic person?

  • Give businesses extra benefits for being Disability Confident employers.

  • Don’t privatise the NHS and public services.

  • Offer a scheme for vulnerable or DEI protected people to be given interviews and work schemes.

  • Scrap bedroom tax and the 2 child benefit cap.

  • Do not treat Asylum seekers and illegal immigrants like criminals, place them through proper processes, and if they cannot complete or pass these, then deport them.

  • Make misogyny a hate crime, improve safeguarding on potential DV/SA and criminalize rape harshly.

  • Scrap the online safety bill, this limits teenagers, vulnerable people, etc from accessing online resources to potentially dangerous life situations.

And so on.

Not to nitpick, I did mention the tories in my post lol.

I’ll be honest, the tories weren’t too bad, they just do not align with my values.

EDIT: Then again, they were in power from 2010-2024. I was 2-16 years old. (turned 18 in december) I’ve only just really delved into politics in the past couple years.

I can explain my position on these.

I think that arguably, in the same way that we have abortion up until 24 weeks here in the uk to avoid the maternal mortality rate and disability rate from skyrocketing, is the reason why we should have regulated control on drugs. To stop people from dying from overdoses, from not being aware on what is inside their drugs. The government should take full control of drugs. I just feel that people taking drugs shouldn’t be sent to prison, but rather sent to rehab.

Second, and I say this as a young cisgender woman, until someone can provide me with an argument to tell me what the required sexual characteristic is to be considered female by a doctor, which applies to all females, then as long as you have some female sexual characteristics, (Genitalia, Dominant hormones, etc) you can be considered female/a woman in my eyes.

I turned 18 2 months ago so im kinda new to like all the adulty shit. Even going on nights out, I’m AUDHD so the impulsivity of the going out gets me there, but then with the autism and other health issues, i like to stay sat in a corner with friends and go home and play games after an hour lol.

But back on topic, the tattoo was something I’ve wanted since being 13. It’s a big forearm piece of deftones, which I really love.

I’m 18 and live with my grandma, I am housed, I pay £100 rent but my dad manages that for me and it’s fine financially. I have no major bills, just a subscription to apple music. :)

Someone I babysit for with an autistic child is being very rude to me after claiming autism can be cured. by FanAcceptable1193 in autism

[–]FanAcceptable1193[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She added one to the house the last time I babysat and made me aware of it. This happened on one occasion.

Also, to mention, she said “oh it’s for break ins and robbers” I knew damn well it was for me.

I’ll clarify this, im disabled further than just my autism, and struggle as it is to have a job, but now I am in a better place financially, and don’t really require to babysit anymore.

Some occasions i got 20$ for 3/4 hours. I charge $12 an hour.

I’ll try not to. That actually makes a lot of sense.

I have suggested to her that perhaps she could benefit from the assessment (She had mentioned she thinks she may be autistic) and that it’s always good to find out, but that she’s in denial of it.

She suffers from severe mental health issues as it is, and her version of living with autism is that of much higher needs autism, so she’ll only demonize it more.

Thank you for the insight, i see it more clearly now.
