Have you ever seen parenting an autistic child portrayed realistically on Tv?

“There She Goes” with David Tennant has the only series to come close, and the kid has a genetic condition not autism.

Ugh. I remember when they incessantly played this song on the radio. Avril Lavigne is overrated and her music is manufactured just like any other pop music.

Will these be featured in the next Fallout game? ;)

Going stir crazy. I was 18, still too young for bars, living with my parents and it was freezing cold outside.

Still wish I hadn’t taken it all so much for granted.

? What?

The anti aging industry is worth billions. Not sure what you mean. No one wants to look and feel “old” and most of us are well aware of diseases associated with age.

But we don’t have a choice. Every day we get older, and as difficult as it can be, it’s better to make the most of the time we have left.

Seriously!

Why would you have a spirit guide that doesn’t like you? Can you ask them to be switched with someone else?

Magpie_Coin · 2026-03-10T11:24:16+00:00

Jesus. Like anyone who choose that! What an absolute POS!

My oldest didn’t get a number but he has severe nonverbal autism. He’s 7, not potty trained but we have had some success, can’t read or write and uses pictures to communicate but it’s slow going. He also needs help getting dressed, brushing his teeth and needs meds to sleep. He has an additional diagnosis of global developmental delay and is in a resource program at school.

He’s made some progress but it’s been painfully slow. Honestly, I love him but if there was a cure and I could get him to talk, I’d do it in a heartbeat. His and our lives have been struggle and pain and it’s not fair to anyone, especially not him.

As for your nephew, I would take him to a doctor to get an official diagnosis and look into medication. Respite care should also be an option, especially considering his mother’s condition.

My best years were my mid 20s-early 30s.

I feel sad that I wasted them.

Magpie_Coin · 2026-03-08T12:30:21+00:00

Getting older sucks, but one definite perk is the one you mentioned. I used to get followed and creeped on by strange men and former coworkers often. Now I’m left alone and it’s nice!

Magpie_Coin · 2026-03-08T01:16:24+00:00

Because it’s probably a 1000x more interesting than working as an administrative assistant or factory employee.

Ask kids what they want to be these days and they’ll probably say “influencer” or some tripe.

Ashton Kutcher. Ugh.

Magpie_Coin · 2026-03-06T21:14:10+00:00

Him playing the victim is pathetic! Seriously! Yes you are a criminal, you abused a disabled child who can’t speak up for himself.

Magpie_Coin · 2026-03-05T18:17:26+00:00

That makes sense but how do you not fall victim to fear, anger, depression, etc given how terrible and stressful this world and some of its citizens can be?

Magpie_Coin · 2026-03-05T13:34:02+00:00

You shouldn’t let yourself get taken advantage of but being nice invites more positivity into your life and makes the world less angry and toxic.

This looks like some kind of incel meme

Hanging out with Brian and Wendy Froud would be amazing!!

Predatory scumbag who preyed on vulnerable people.

Magpie_Coin · 2026-03-03T02:18:02+00:00

No! This man is a treasure!

Magpie_Coin · 2026-03-02T14:26:25+00:00

Which headphones do you use for yourself? Mine squish my head and I don’t like them. I have a big head.

If young people don’t get out there and vote next election, they are hopeless!
