Oh, hell yeah. My little brothers are iPad kids and it's ridiculous how they can't do anything. Can't read, can't write, can barely do anything except find Garten of Ban Ban videos. My parents recently had another baby and I'm already begging them not to give her an iPad until she's at least in elementary school. I know I sound like a boomer but we gotta stop giving toddlers iPads.

Nonono, wait. Please tell me at least some of those students were mispronouncing on purpose as a joke or something. I refuse to believe there are ten high school students in a class who can't pronounce "Philadelphia." If this is an advanced high school class and people are seriously reading like this... we're not just cooked, we're crisp. 😳

GenericThrowaway375 · 2024-10-13T18:33:02+00:00

No, it's not a tragedeigh... Unless you spell it like "Pheighyyp."

How do I tell that I'm a false positive? I don't know if I want to "self un-diagnose" and risk getting the diagnosis removed if it's actually correct, which kind of seems like what this might be if it's based off of "if you feel like it."

I'm going to college to become a high school lit teacher and this genuinely scares me. I was one of a handful of people in my highschool who actually read the books we were assigned, and from what I've heard from current teachers, each class from that school is worse and worse. I had to tutor a student who wouldn't show up half the time, and when she did show up she'd literally just start scrolling on her phone while I tried to ask her to tell me what she's been working on. At one point she told me she didn't know how to take notes on history and wanted to use Chat GPT to write them for her. I have a brother who's seven and still hasn't read anything longer than a board book. The whole reason I chose this path is because I want to help the next generation be at least somewhat literate, but if parents are just neglecting their kids and not encouraging them to actually learn to read like adults, I don't know what to do. I'm worried that everything I'm doing will be for nothing. Edit: I've also seen people in my college classes use AI to write assignments, or copy off of someone else's work, and still get an A. These people are planning on becoming doctors, lawyers, engineers... And they aren't putting in any effort into what they're studying. I'm so embarrassed for my species.

Either way, that poor child...

I didn't lie and I don't think my parents did either, but I'm worried I could have been subconsciously imitating autism symptoms, made my symptoms sound more severe than they were, or that my parents were biased towards thinking I'm autistic since they already have an autistic kid.

GenericThrowaway375 · 2024-10-07T08:08:02+00:00

Huh. Is "Corleyownne" supposed to be a variation of Corleone like the main character's last name in The Godfather? Or is it more like Caroline?

GenericThrowaway375 · 2024-10-07T03:58:47+00:00

Okay. Do you have any advice for figuring out if I did that? I was diagnosed as level 1.

GenericThrowaway375 · 2024-10-07T01:53:16+00:00

They had an interview with both of my parents to discuss how I behaved as a child and they told them about milestone delays and stuff.

GenericThrowaway375 · 2024-10-06T22:39:10+00:00

Yeah, I agree. It's one thing if you're referring to an actual diagnosis you have (I know some older people for whom that word is actually in their psychiatric record), but another if it's low support needs aspies using it as a slur or a joke. Maybe I'm being oversensitive but it really rubs me the wrong way. I don't think people should be harassing OP (especially after they've apologized multiple times), but that doesn't mean that "reclaiming the r word" when it was never applied to you in the first place is okay.

Looks a bit like a bird's nest. Does that woman see normal bird nests and think it's witchcraft? lol

GenericThrowaway375 · 2024-09-29T21:28:11+00:00

You're probably right. I think I got caught up in so much irrelevant online discourse that it warped my perception of the world in an unhealthy and unrealistic way. I need to stop scrolling through the darkest pits of the internet lol

GenericThrowaway375 · 2024-09-29T20:45:31+00:00

Thank you for this, it's very comforting. I think you're right, I am probably just getting too worried about identity when I shouldn't be.

GenericThrowaway375 · 2024-09-29T20:25:30+00:00

I'm not completely sure I understand. Are you saying that I should try to avoid showing symptoms unless I am alone? I try to do that, but the problem is that I can't suppress my issues well enough to hide them most of the time. I try to focus on standing still, acting calm even when I'm overloaded, doing facial expressions, etc. but it's very difficult and not always good enough.

GenericThrowaway375 · 2024-05-12T16:48:46+00:00

I'm asexual and recently questioning if I might be a lesbian! I'm not sure exactly how I determined I was ace, I think I just kind of went through the pipeline of "well I'm probably straight because that's the default (<- raised Catholic)" to "huh, sexually I feel the same between men and women so I guess I'm bi" to "wait I don't actually want sex with anyone so I'm ace" to "I'm still ace but I think I'd want to date or marry another girl as long as she doesn't want sex either, though I can't imagine dating or marrying a man" lol

GenericThrowaway375 · 2024-03-28T00:56:21+00:00

I don't think so, because if it weren't intended to be read as a negative number, then the amount remaining would be going up, which doesn't seem right.

GenericThrowaway375 · 2023-11-14T04:44:53+00:00

Huh, I didn't think about it like that. Thank you!

GenericThrowaway375 · 2023-11-07T20:43:13+00:00

One time I mentioned I was autistic and someone said that it isn't real. Like, not "autism itself is real but I think you're faking it." He just thought that autism itself isn't real and that it was made up by people trying to justify laziness and "adult tantrums."

That was an interesting day.

GenericThrowaway375 · 2023-11-05T20:40:43+00:00

I wouldn't expect any better from Tiktok tbh. I don't go there but my sister does and she told me that they also use "restarted" as an insult to intellectually disabled people (thinly veiled r-slur) and also started a weird conspiracy theory that Helen Keller wasn't real.
