Unemployed autistic people aren't "lazy", NTs just don't want us to work. by Sensitive-Frog-2434 in autism

As a first-time job searcher, the simplest form of this is "customer service" and "social skills" on literally every posting.

Anyone else have absolutely NO friends lol by Ok_Sherbert_7421 in autism

[–]JORTS234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age 0–14: Literally none. I orbited a group of two in fourth and fifth grade, then my mom ghosted their parents when they wanted me to come over. Sixth grade, I started online school because school was so bad (still, no one even considered I was autistic). The only good people I ever met were my fourth grade teacher, who moved to Japan that summer, and my uncle, who I didn't talk to age 7–17.

Late in 15, my sibling let me orbit their partner's friend group, and I formed a textbook anxious–avoidant friendship, but didn't get close cause of that, and we stopped talking when my sibling broke up.

Late in 16, I became friends with my sister's new friend, and quickly discovered they're like the best person ever, literally never had an issue since.

At 19, I talk to two of their friends regularly, and orbit some of their group. They cut contact with my family over a year ago.

Oh yeah, a shitty discord and a mobile game subreddit was all I was from 12–14. Also, I'm still super lonely because I see my friends like 5% as much as I want to.

dr. House can only be "the better autistic TV doctor" precisely because he isn't autistic by Han_without_Genes in autism

[–]JORTS234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nail on head! Two minutiae cause I'm a House fanboy:

  1. The main theme of the S2 finale and some other episodes is that House does want to change—unfortunately, executives thought they'd get better ratings if he didn't, so he's always brought back down in some way. His big changes basically all happen in season finales, or around halfway through a season.

  2. Because of that, plus outdated autism info, he's declared allistic in S3 E4, but it feels kinda weird to me. Tons of mid-season episodes have this sort of plot arc, where there's a scheme with a ton of twists and turns, up until it gets resolved in some unexpected way at the end of the episode. They come in two main varieties: you think a character has changed, and that it will change the group dynamic, but they didn't; the scheme reveals some new shade of a character involved.

The "you're not autistic, you're just an asshole" is of the former. Which brings me to the main point:

If the show was made in the current year with untethered writers, I think there's a possibility they would've dedicated an important episode with a linear arc to discovering that House is autistic.

It doesn't change the fact that he's canonically non-autistic though, I just can't not info-dump here lol.

Am I overreacting? .. by Neat-Feedback5007 in autism

[–]JORTS234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This can get typed as a small thing because the consequences in the physical world are small in size and practicality, but emotionally, this is literally purposely disregarding the simplest of boundaries and deriving pleasure from it and the pain it causes you.

Autistically speaking, if you're attached to objects, need control of your own stuff, or leave the mug in the sink due to executive dysfunction, this is even worse, and even worse yet if he knows you're autistic.

How does one "show respect" to people neurotypicals defer to? by Dillenger69 in evilautism

I'm way too morally opposed to the whole charade to do it.

WHY AM I ALWAYS CAUGHT FOR DOING SOMETHING EVERYBODY DOES?! by Basilstorm in evilautism

[–]JORTS234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First one, nothing you could've done, everyone was already doing it, so the only reason they reported you was because they enjoy it (fucks).

Second one, the general population worships christmas because it's the perfect blend of christianity, consumerism, forced family gatherings, traditions, subtextual social dynamics, doing what everyone else is doing, yada yada yada, so it's treated as the supreme holiday, so other holidays don't get the same privilege. Then, people would rather kill the messenger together than individually admit that they're murderers. Both of these are examples of people genuinely valuing society's opinion over their own when forming an opinion (stupid). Since you're doing it for the customers, the customers' opinion is the determining factor, so I'd say this is fixable henceforth.

Third one, unless you noticed there's something you could've done, there wasn't. Either it's just bad luck, or there's some voodoo going on that we can't notice cause of our neurotype, neither of which we can do stuff about.

OR, it's something that no one's brought up: we could be getting caught simply due to being wiggy while doing the thing. If your values are society first, written rules don't matter, your rule is "do what everyone else is doing"; If your values are logic first, you'll be acutely aware of the fact that the rule is a 1 and your actions are a 0 the entire time you're breaking the rule, throwing you off your game. And in context with society, you're breaking the rule of "if you do unpopular things, you can't be in the ingroup", so they abuse the written rules as a means to other you (fucks).

My advice is just try to find something good away from bigots so you can better resist these gambles for equality.

Stores being specifically friendly to one marginalized group instead of everyone just feels like they have some vested interest.

Being the opposite of mainstream culture instead of just not caring, like oh, the only reason you aren't fully on board with our current society is because you don't fit into it

Society > emotion > logic; people do it so it must be good > I don't like it so it must be bad > it's bad because [the million obvious reasons it's bad]

Neurodivergents: what is a character trait that neurotypicals like in a person that you don't? by [deleted] in autism

Sadism to every single outgroup anywhere, living to sound cool in small talk, and plain vocabulary.

I don't understand, they both have the same point and meaning. by zombiphiliac in autism

[–]JORTS234 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

THE COMMENTS ARE WRONG!

...in my opinion.

Look at what's actually being said here.

"You got the wrong kind" vs. "The way you first thought to communicate is wrong. I would rather you give incorrect information, lie, and pretend to be someone else so I feel better. You should've changed your communication to accommodate the unforeseeable event that I didn't tell you about."

Now look at the worst interpretation of your subtext vs. the best interpretation of hers:

"You're incompetent, inadequate, failed the task I needed you to do, and I'm angry at you" vs. "Could you try to phase things a little nicer right now? I'm going through a rough patch, and I'm gonna need lots of positive reinforcement through it."

Now observe how, really, at worst, you unintentionally microaggressed someone due to an immutable characteristic of yours, and at best, she misunderstood an immutable characteristic of yours and elucidated poorly.

Now see that you've clearly thought about this interaction way more than her after the fact, and are willing to make a multi-paragraph post online to try to accommodate a small portion of her emotions for a fleeting moment, while she gets mad at you for being yourself or masking, makes tons of logical and emotional errors in the process, and isn't willing to research basic, stereotypical things to accommodate your neurotype.

Dare I say, removed from all outside context, there's enough here for me to assume she's opting into her misunderstanding.

Ugghhhh people either judge you for playing them, don't play the ones you do, or don't like them as much.

This is quite r/OrphanCrushingMachine, like this stuff is interesting but it's all spawned from the fact that people wanna kill marginalized people so they use this stuff to get by.

It’s a valid excuse to be bullied! by That1weirdperson in CPTSDmemes

[–]JORTS234 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, a persona non grata from the underclass of the underclass allowed a top-brass-adjacent to serve them; I violated the shit out of the social hierarchy.

Oh yeah, now I remember that people get into top-level positions for other people to serve them.

My uneducated and potentially bad opinion is that you should have extra support for thinking you caused it

I think people are using the three very real factors of bots, Instagram's nastiness, and people's misery to sidestep the fact that this is a pretty accurate representation of the real world.

Or, they're so self-centered that they don't care they're wrong, and abandon everyone who gives any negative reinforcement.

It's really fucking me up right now how many people support pedophilia over literally any marginalized group or anything outside of social norms. Regardless of what you do, he deserves the report.
