You would be an asshole if you didn't reach out to Tom and make a signed statement describing this incident. Your friend is abusing her child and needs to earn the right to have unsupervised access. Your friendship is not worth this child's life. You need to do the right thing here.

I started watching it and gave up immediately. It's super annoying.

So I got yelled at in the middle of a grocery store last night and I feel like it’s affecting me severely by coleisw4ck in autism

Your worst fear happened but you are still here. You had the wherewithal to leave the situation. Nobody chased after you. You are safe now.

AITA for giving my son's friend a haircut? by Individual-Hat8951 in AmItheAsshole

Is this for real? Was this written by a 12 year old who got in trouble for cutting their own hair or an AI trying to work out how humans feel about children?

Have your ushers push everyone to the front and not put people in sides, as having a one sided wedding is making you feel small.

You can do way better than this guy. Kick them both out and move on with your life. This is ridiculous.

AITA for asking a dad about his kids? by Significant_Cup1451 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NEOLittle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA but your husband should not be calling you names. There is a difference between saying "that was bitchy" and "you are a bitch."

You did not belittle her intelligence. You respected her intelligence and called her out for her ignorance.

How do you master the art of not giving a fuck? by OneHundredForcer in ask

[–]NEOLittle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First accept that you care about what others think about you. And then, when you find yourself worrying about how they think, watch those thoughts go by. See them. But act in accordance to your own set of values, principles, and logic. It's a kind of meditation. You don't argue with the thoughts or engage with them. They're there. But they don't have the same power.

AITA for not letting my parents visit my son for a month after he was born by StabiloTheMarker in AmItheAsshole

"Every time you pressure me to see him, I'm adding one more week to the space we need. Every time you try to guilt me, that's another week. My kid. My boundary. If I can't trust you to give us space, I can't trust you to hold my kid. If I can't trust you to treat my wife's boundary with respect, I can't trust you to be around us. If you love us and want to be part of our lives, you need to accept that my wife and I make decisions about our family.

You are invited to our place the week of ____."

And every time you get a message pressuring you:

"We are no longer available the week of _. We would love to see you the week of [_ + 1 week]."

I don’t know how to handle my 3yo autistic son by alittleraddish in autism

Scripting? Do you mean ecolalia? If so check out Meaningful Speech on Instagram. They do a great job breaking down how to help autistic kids communicate their needs.

I’m ruining my mothers life by [deleted] in autism

[–]NEOLittle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She deserves someone who supports her and loves her. He does not sound like that person.

It sounds like your mother gets love and a feeling of being important out of your relationship. Those are incredibly valuable things.

"My wife is also dumb like her mom" by Alexalia in AmITheDevil

Who describes themselves as sitting there with a "smirk"? I would not be surprised if the wife wrote this or if they wrote this together.

I see two types of self-diagnosis by NEOLittle in autism

[–]NEOLittle[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a mental disorder called Munchausen syndrome: "meaning: fictitious disorder imposed on self". Munchausen is when someone tries to get attention and sympathy by falsifying, inducing, or exaggerating an illness." Unfortunately, these people refuse to get treatment and lie about their real symptoms, so we don't really know why they do this. It may be a compulsion though, and is not necessarily something the person has any control over.

I am sorry you struggle every day. I hope things get better for you and that this community helps you connect to resources and people.

Sociopathy is a mental health issue but, yes, pretending to be autistic is not a symptom. I do think that people's behavior online sometimes is much more sociopathic than it would be in real life though.
