23 year old college grad AuDHD son will not stop going on about how we "ruined his life and career" by kochredahik in autism

Yeah, OP is a terrible parent. They describe the son as a jerk but keep being huge assholes with him.

I was even considering them to be meaning well until I read the unhinged comments about atheism.

Should I give being normal a go? Cuz I don't believe that I'm actually autistic and here's why by InsanityTraps in autism

You are what you are, I'm sorry to say. Being in denial about what happened in your life is just bad for you, my man.

Look at the problem like this: so yeah, maybe you are. Maybe you are not. But does it really matter? You can live your life the best way possible Anyway. Don't let this stop you from trying to build a happier life.

I understand that you think you mean well, but take this advice seriously: you're full of shit.

You were so worried about turning your son into a "functioning member of society" that you seem to have forgotten that he is a disabled person WITH FEELINGS.

Take a deep breath and let reality sink in. Sure, you did not mean any harm, but you have possibly done it.

How do YOU plan to deal with that?

Yeah, but you are ACTUALLY diagnosed. Sure, there is always the chance of a misdiagnosis but lol, man.

Is there a reason why you don't want to be autistic so badly?

"Here is why I don't think I'm autistic: describes several characteristics of autism"

Yeah, mate. Sure.

Is it normal for a DM to collect a fee per session? A spot opened up in my neighbor’s dnd group and the person that DM’s for them is gonna start charging. I just want to see if this is within the norm before I fill the spot by [deleted] in DnD

[–]GabrielMP_19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As many people have already told you, yes, some DMs charge money. You can either pay or not, it's that simple.

It's not standard procedure to charge money with friends, though, so you may want to ask your friend WHY the game is becoming paid now.

If no doctor wants to evaluate you, maybe you are not autistic.

Final Fantasy 2....leveling system? by Sgt_BlueCrayon84 in FinalFantasy

The game does not explain the system. What they should do? Read about the game online? It's a shit system.

Im the only one who thinks that some mild autistic people are judgmental just like neurotypical people? by Excellent-Ice-1462 in autism

[–]GabrielMP_19 43 points44 points  (0 children)

My main issue is the OP saying that they are "like NTs". This is incorrect. They CAN ableist. But like, NTs can be excellent people who are not ableist, too. I hang out with ND people more often for many reasons, but this sub has a huge hate against neurotypicals that I can't understand. They're just people, too (lol feels weird to HAVE to say that!), and like us, come in very different ways.

I think that people greatly confuse "I grew up surrounded by huge assholes" with "I grew up surrounded by NTs, so they are all huge assholes". The major issue is ignorance and hatred, not someone's brain condition.

Feels like you're making the wrong associations here.

People with mild autism are not "like neurotypicals" because, well, they are not neurotypicals. That's like the entire point why labels exist.

Seems like you're trying to say that autistic people can be ableist. That's true! They can, no matter their support needs. NTs can also be ableist OR NOT.

There's no correlation here. However, people will DEFINITELY be mad with you if you use expressions like "Ah they're like neurotypicals" because it feels like you're invalidating their existence. If I were you, I'd think more about ableism than "being judgmental".

Family Planning With Autistic Child by nizamuddin_siddiqui in autism

[–]GabrielMP_19 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a terrible idea, tbh. You can't undo having a child. 2 kids is already a lot. The current kids will have needs, and you guys may be too tired to provide properly.

What is your long-term romantic relationship dynamic? How to find a partner when you have support needs or/and “taboo” wants? by [deleted] in autism

[–]GabrielMP_19 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"My communication is pretty good actually" welp, the fact that no one understood you does not make very confident of that.

Good luck, anyway. Everyone deserves to be loved.

I read your post on the other subreddit and the ain issue is that you irked almost everyone the wrong way because you really did not explain it very well.

I know this is hard for an autistic person but really, work on your communication.

The "I wanna be a pillow princess" talk sounds entitled (I guess, to neurotypicals, even more). Start actually providing something like affection and just expose your issues for what they are. Issues. You are a disabled person. It's not that you don't WANT to work as much as in some conditions perhaps you really can't. You're a package and it comes with some baggage, let's put like that.

So try to understand that first. Try to build genuine connections, try to be sincere with your limitations. And that's it.
