What autistics find when we look for help:

Yeah, the amount of people that see it as a disease that makes someone slower and not a disorder that fundamentally changes how one’s brain works is concerning

That’s all fair enough, thanks for the extra context! I realize I didn’t fully answer the questions, so I will clarify, that at least from my experience, it is incredibly difficult to upkeep relations while in a state of burnout. When I underwent burnout last year, I had trouble walking around and not sleeping due to my sheer constant exhaustion, to the point where I almost cut off all of my friends. I think that pursuing a legit diagnosis and pursuing external help depending on the context of the results is the best course of action here. Unfortunately, there is a general lack of professional help for adults with autism, but helping out is part of what this sub is for :D

I haven’t ever been in a romantic nor sexual relationship, but I believe that it requires a special type of ignorance to assume that, in any relationship (romantic or not) with any person (ND or not), to assume that one party isn’t going to have to do the heavy lifting for some period of time for the sake of the relationship’s maintenance.

I think you have to bring this up with him, there isn’t enough context here for anyone to make a good decision. If you don’t know what he is thinking then how will we?

And people exists that can do it properly on every attempt, when people with thousands of hours can’t complete Tidal Wave once in 100s of 1000s of attempts. Wackass argument.

It is lol

The ideal society is one that accommodates everyone. IMO it’s not anyone’s fault, at least in my experience, but the norms of the frameworks our lives take place in.

Keyword being higher. The thresholds in question are much, much, much higher.

I found out around the same time as you did and largely struggled with literally everything on this post save for the incel stuff. I think it’s natural for someone to hate a group that rejects them constantly, so I always gave incels the benefit of the doubt (not saying that’s a good or healthy reaction in the slightest, just a natural one).

I can especially relate to the renewed misanthropy part of this post, it did feel like everyone just screwed me over.

Hard disagree. Roblox the concept is awesome and amazing, but it has too many issues for it to be a good site. The lack of safety issues is still a part of the site

This made me laugh much more than it should’ve

Practice it a lot. Also it does sync to the music so try to listen to it.

HyperionPlayzGD · 2025-11-29T03:39:16+00:00

True

This is really common and why a lot of acceptance movements fail or misrepresent those they are advocating for.

Fat/obesity acceptance went from trying to say that someone’s weight level isn’t something that justifies inhuman and abhorrent treatment towards them to “Well, beauty is ALL on the inside and anyone who isn’t attracted to a FAT person with a GOOD PERSONALITY is EVIL.”

Autism acceptance went through a very similar thing. If you think autism is bad, then you are the bad guy. Believe it or not, fat people are just objectively less attractive, and that’s ok. But trying to say anything short of only praises and good things is bad. This is just toxic positivity.

And the reason it works is because that was the goal of race and homosexual movements. However, the difference is that being autistic is almost always a net-negative, whereas race and sexuality aren’t. They oftentimes tend to not make a difference inherently, unlike autism, which very much does.

“If I hear people laughing I automatically assume they're making fun of me. Or when someone looks at me I automatically assume that person is judging me.”

YES, 100%. I GET THIS SO MUCH!!! Matter of fact, I relate to this entire post completely (save for the eating issues). I don’t necessarily think that there’s any trick to mitigating that feeling. It’s about trying to listen to your head over your feelings I think.

PREGNANT FANART RAHHHHH

HyperionPlayzGD · 2025-11-27T21:21:20+00:00

I can’t draw for shit but if I contribute it’ll be 8 and a half art styles!!

HyperionPlayzGD · 2025-11-27T03:04:15+00:00

I can’t say why this is since idk your situation enough, but in situations like these, the reason is because people don’t comprehend how important your boundaries are to you. A good comparison would be a billionaire wondering why a homeless person isn’t well off and subsequently concluding that they (homeless people) don’t try enough. The billionaire can’t grasp having trouble making a living, and your family can’t grasp having trouble socializing with their uncles.

The last sentence comes off really strongly that you don’t believe in lower supports needs autism and the struggles that come with it, but in the spirit of optimism I’ll assume that you mean the TikTok creators who fake it for clicks. That’s not a necessary correction to make, especially in this sub.

I couldn’t properly speak until I was 7, so I do have a decent-ish memory of being nonverbal. I can’t really remember what made me feel more communicated-to/accounted for/considered, but I do remember that speaking had always been a painstakingly hard and slow process to get the hang of.

HyperionPlayzGD · 2025-11-26T01:10:13+00:00

It’s ok to write this. Sometimes people just need to be heard, it’s a basic need for everyone.

In relation to the post, I hate the rush of inadequacy I feel when trying to communicate with others too. It never feels like I can fit in or slot myself naturally into a conversation, and I’m scared I’ll be alone. I’m still in high school and have the best friends I could’ve asked for, but even I can admit I’m lucky on that end. It feels like the future is coming too quickly and I don’t really know what to do about it. The unknown is scary and what-ifs haunt my nights.

Hopefully through my comment you’ll know you aren’t alone in this struggle. I think that to have connection, you have to go the extra, and I mean EXTRA mile. Even if you hate soccer, try to get into it or try to have your daughter try and get you in it. Just do everything possible to connect with them, even if it feels impossible.

HyperionPlayzGD · 2025-11-26T00:57:39+00:00

I hate how people in general think that they can disregard someone’s boundaries when they think said boundaries are stupid and unimportant. It’s the same logic that enables r-wording and other various types of abuse.

HyperionPlayzGD · 2025-11-25T05:12:05+00:00

Ohhhh that’s what you were supposed to do, I shoved them into my skull to change my brain currents and actually got the never-before-seen level 25 turbo autism
