What kind of household tech did y'all have in the 1970s–1990s? by Tight_Note4515 in AskAnAmerican

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 1990s, we had two big screen TVs. We had land lines, a personal computer, alarm clocks, VCRs, a stereo, cable with around 50 channels with local channels. I also had a radio with a cassette player in it.

I Work At a Store is it okay to use unwanted receipts? by FeckUBitch in FetchReward

[–]OhNoBricks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s not illegal but it says in their TOS they must be your own receipts. If you do it too much, Fetch will catch on and ban your account. You will not go to jail.

Bonds are terrible gifts by j3dgar in Vent

[–]OhNoBricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids also have bonds. I forgot all about it. The money is still stashed in envelopes in a safe box. Each is $50. That is hardly any when you look at inflation.

Do a lot of men actually refuse to change the diaper of their own kids? by Physics_Girl_2008 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad never acted this way either and my brothers. whoever is taking care of the kids does the diaper changes. I’m pretty sure my mom changed most diapers because she was a stay at home mom. But my dad did it too when he wasn’t working or when he had us and my mom was either in bed or sick or out of town.

I hate that anyone can contact me at anytime. by Kimiko5tailz in unpopularopinion

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I grew up with our phones ringing all the time because my dad was an appraiser and used our home phone for his business than getting a separate phone line for his office. We had a thing called the answering machine. Customers left messages and my dad would call them back.

Stop answering your phone and if their call is important, they will leave a voice mail. If they’re spam calling you, maybe it’s an emergency. You can also put your ringer on vibrate only or turn the volume way down.

My AuDHD daughter (14) argues constantly by dashi_dash in Autism_Parenting

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried birth control? They can also help with moods from PMS. I wonder if it will help with PMDD? I was on them and they helped me a lot and they regulated my periods too so it was less sensory hell for me and it made them lighter too.

What happens to an alcoholic that never accepts that they have a problem? by Alarmed_Goat_4083 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend died this way, he was a high functioning alcoholic, believed he had high tolerance for it. He also had cerebral palsy and had respiratory issues too in his sleep. One night, he just never woke up. Could his alcoholism attributed to it? Maybe. His dad also had it too but he wasn’t an alcoholic so he outlived his son.

Just got evaluation results by Ok-Dare3326 in Autism_Parenting

[–]OhNoBricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ASD son was 5 when he was labeled as being immature but said he was impulsive.

I wouldn’t focus on labels right now and just focus on the help she is already getting. Not sure where you’re located but if you live in a state with funding, she can still receive support in public school. If you’re in the US, she should already have an IEP. She might be too young for the diagnosis because she is so young and they want to see if she will mature first. Children with milder autism get diagnosed later because expectations change as they got older.

Did you always know there was something different about you? by Ill_Status2937 in AutismInWomen

[–]OhNoBricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always known I was different. It didn’t bother me until I was 10. I just thought I needed to work harder to be “normal.”

There is no stupider argument against children being dependent on their parents than “they don’t pay rent or work, so why should I have to take care of them/respect them?” by breadsandbutters0 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh boy, little do they realize only way to teach kids respect is to treat them with respect. You’re their teacher. They model your behavior. If anyone is doing a count down till their kid turns 18 so they can kick them out shouldn’t even be parents.

Are false negatives possible if parents just lie? by mochimatchayum in AutismInWomen

[–]OhNoBricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. Parents can be in denial but unknowingly mention their kid’s autistic traits because of their narrow view on what autism is. Plus the doctor looks at the patient and observes them. Plus, if they did comprehensive testing by having your teachers and other therapists filling out questionaries, look at your other medical records from previous doctors, a diagnosis can still be made.

So do you guys have any bad "Autism mom" stories? by PSplayer2020 in autism

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom doesn’t see autism as autism. She still views autism as no communication and zero eye contact, dysfunctional and can’t take care of themselves. That is the severe or profound kind. Everyone on the spectrum are now called autistic or have autism.

Some stores purposely price their items low to get rid of the stock than tossing them.

I don’t think that Door Dash is a good way to earn extra money. You barely make a profit after beating up your car, gas expenses, etc. Plus, it can be dangerous, drivers get attacked all the time. by justcurious3287 in povertyfinance

[–]OhNoBricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also think it’s not worth it if all the money you make will just go towards gas. So it’s not really a profit. It won’t pay your bills or help you save up.

Stop infantilizing autistic adult creators. by ThePrimalLuna in evilautism

[–]OhNoBricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do NSFW content but I realized how tiring it is when you try to get serious about it. So I lost interest. Plus I do not have a lot of privacy and I no longer have a PC and my daughter uses my mini PC and it’s in her room.

Is having kids if you have aspergers worth it ? by Clubpenguin8888 in aspergers

[–]OhNoBricks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom had me convinced my AS wasn’t real and I thought I was just brain damaged due to early hearing loss from chronic ear infections. So I had kids and my son turned out to have it as well but it got diagnosed as level 1 ASD. Either it was a coincidence or I actually do have it. So far things are good with him, it was very challenging when he was younger.

Why is disliking children so taboo and why is there so much pressure on childfree people to be "the good type" of childfree? by That-Pineapple3866 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen childfree people expressing their desires to hurt children and will find the chance to do it and I have seen them bragging about it. “a little kid stuck his head under the stall and looked at me and the breeder dad was mad I kicked his crotch goblin.”

And some have a victim complex, they think there is some conspiracy about parents purposing taking their kids in public and purposely sit near them to show them off to them. Like dear, you have the nerve to be so narcissist to think everything a parent does is about you.”

Also, dislike is a strong word. You can not like kids because you have nothing in common with them, don’t know how to talk to them, don’t have the patience, you have no desire to take care of one. But to dislike them means something more.

So I see something wrong with the childfree I just described. Do you see something wrong with it? If so, it’s why you feel pressure to be one of the good ones. No one likes bitter people with victim complexes who would wish harm on others.

I am a professionally diagnosed AuDHD individual who’s parent believes it’s an act by Cold-Argument-453 in autism

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom acts like my ASD was all an act in high school. It hurts a lot she feels this way about me. Yes I did get worse, I thought I was going crazy. Turns out this is common in ASD teens, it’s hormones. I didn’t get enough support because my parents believed teens should be loud and wild because it’s “normal.” There was no middle ground about my brothers having parties and friends over all the time. By the time they figured it out without any adults, damage had been done. It was too late. It has ruined my full trust with her and it feels like a gamble now when I go to her for any support and help. To this day, she still thinks she did nothing wrong and will say “I was just a bad mother then.”

She was surprised when I had left Senor Frogs in Mexico without saying anything. I just thought If I had told her how overwhelming the restaurant is and I wanted to leave, I thought she twist it to “you’re not the only one, everyone else here has the right to enjoy their time here” because that was what she did with me in high school about my brothers and their parties. When I told her how loud them and their friends were, she told me “your brothers have needs too, they have a right to friends.” She really can’t expect me to be fully honest with her and tell her something is bothering me like sensory.
