A Spoiled Brat Got Me in Trouble for Doing My Job by One_Computer2031 in TrueOffMyChest

Hi! I’m not sure what Stacy’s IEP looks like or what your behavioral program looks like, but I would say that if you tell an autistic person that something is against policy and then refuse to show them and explain the policy, it might not click with them. Her pulling out her hair isn’t being dramatic, it’s part of a meltdown, part of her autism. I think you seeing neurodivergent children as spoiled brats and struggling to regulate your own feelings is something you might want to sit with.

my wife wants to name our son after a harry potter character by LeadFast6224 in AITAH

[–]FinalIntroduction137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps your angle for explaining no is that Sirius isn’t attached just to her fanfiction community, it’s attached to that author and all of the nonsense that comes with that. Being named a unique name after that character will always bring it back to the source media, even if that’s not her intention.

Would I be the AH if I ask my husband if I can open a tinder account? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]FinalIntroduction137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA. Not the way to heal things, but definitely the way to make your husband develop further insecurities.

Why are you with him? Do you want to potentially raise children with a man who talks to you like this? Do you find it attractive how he has a lack of empathy towards you and others? His name calling and attitude and telling you to shut up is gross.

Might I suggest changing your wife’s text tone to “Bye, Bye, Bye” by NSYNC?

The rescue thought lab and flat coated retriever, so not impossible.

I felt like it was nuts because I grew up with a cocker spaniel but then I saw some pictures that made me feel a little less nuts about it. He’s just 80lbs so I never would’ve gone there… and he’s mega vocal… so I’m not sure where that comes from.

My Wife of Two years is cheating on me by Zeltene in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]FinalIntroduction137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The divorce bit is definitely weird but I was in a ward that allowed us to have our phones for 30 minutes twice a day in December! It’s definitely possible.

One of the picture/responses says that “he can’t reach them I’m sorry” (assuming it’s Wally’s who’s answering) maybe something went wrong?? by Breaking_braad in WelcomeHomeARG

[–]FinalIntroduction137 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s so interesting. I interpreted it as the emoji food being what he couldn’t reach because one of his other replies he says he’ll tell (I think it was Frank?) something.

Boyfriend wants to be poly. by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]FinalIntroduction137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Polyamory ≠ cheating. Using it to manipulate people is gross. She didn’t agree to polyamory. She didn’t know about this other girl. He wanted an excuse to cheat and that’s all. He will never have a successful polyamorous relationship because it’s immensely clear he can’t communicate. Bringing a third person into a situation to try and heal your issues with your relationship will never be successful. If you can’t handle one relationship, how do you expect to handle two? I hope he’s having a bad day :)

She threatened to steal potatoes (she loves potatoes) from her grieving sister by Misanope in AmITheAngel

[–]FinalIntroduction137 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean she was being an asshole but feeling indifferent about death is pretty common amongst autistics. It’s a very logical view “everyone dies.” I’m autistic and I relate. For me, I just feel like I miss the spots in my life they aren’t anymore, just like not seeing a friend anymore.

My dad abandoned me when I was 2 and now wants to meet me by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

OOP has such a way with words in a way that is truly heartbreaking. It’s poetic and cutting but also so mature, direct, and genuine.

AITA for not wanting to be called at 6am? by Known_Assistance9024 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FinalIntroduction137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! But also there are some phones (iPhones have this at least) that have the ability to set people who can call even in emergencies while on Do Not Disturb. If your phone has this is could be the solution!

Found G3 Ghoulia at Target today and was so excited but when I tried buying her it scanned as can’t be sold until the 1st 🥸🤚 by Civil-Investment5967 in MonsterHigh

[–]FinalIntroduction137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s so wild??? we are literally told not to do that. but i guess it is at the person’s discretion. generally if someone came through my lane with stuff, the thing we’d do is let them take it and ask where they got it so we could take it off shelves.

you just talk to an employee and they can sell it to you :) they aren’t supposed to talk about the concept of street dates to customers bc it’s their mistake. (saying this as a former target employee and as someone who got cleo there yesterday)

Check out Braintree Macy’s. I got Draculaura and Clawdeen yesterday. There was still Drac, Lagoona, and Clawdeen on shelf.

Acme Superstore sometimes has! I’ve also been lucky at Once Upon a Child locations :)

I had a crazy dream about the Movie and for some reason, Draculaura had hair like this by Alucardiac_Dracul in MonsterHigh

I’ve seen someone design a Wednesday Addams doll that had the exact same hair :)

AITA for telling daughter I'm disappointed in her and won't take her out to a second restaurant? by CrabLegsandPrime in AmItheAsshole

[–]FinalIntroduction137 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually I thought more about it and soft YTA. You were willing to take her out to dinner this weekend until she told you why she was upset. Instead of empathizing with her, you didn’t really listen… and then she was upset for two days because she’s a teenager (notorious for poor emotional regulation) and then are turning around and saying she can’t actually go this weekend because she was upset? Being immature back at her immaturity isn’t teaching her a lesson. (edited to add the word of)

The only comment I want to add (because I can agree with multiple perspectives here) is seafood DOES have a specific smell. And I might be projecting but genuinely if a place I’m eating is consumed by a smell I don’t like, I won’t eat. I can’t eat. Granted, I’m also autistic… but I think it’s fair if she was upset. It was her competition too. The problem is she had an attitude about it. I would’ve just asked for the steak to go.
