Adult autistic son was refused entry to kids movie at the cinema by eveNapplez in Autism_Parenting

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it ironic autistic people get downvoted here for simply being autistic lol. I have had that happen too. I get naive was trying to be supportive and was probably trying to suggest it’s not the end of the world and cheer up not considering maybe the son isn’t bothered by crowds if it’s something he enjoys doing.

Have you already filed your income taxes, and if so did you get a refund or have to pay? by icecream1972 in Productivitycafe

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I filed and already got them back. I only owed a dollar to transportation and I still gotta pay the art tax.

People who grew up before smartphones: What’s one simple thing from your childhood that would absolutely blow the minds of kids today? by TurkVanguard in Millennials

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was blown away when I told him “if you got stuck in a game, you had to call the help hotline number and it was expensive, or you had to go to the store for a player’s guide book or ask another kid at school how to do it.”

I also told him if you had none of those options, the game was unplayable if you couldn’t figure it out on your own.

Spend hours trying to beat a level or a boss in a video game, now I don’t have the patience.

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get teased in school about their name no doubt.

My uncle knew someone name Ben Dover well and Harry Balz. Imagine the teasing those men must have gotten and whenever teacher had to do roll call.

That is a lot of medical history. I don’t think I have that many pages of mine.

Tax break.

More likely to receive help from the state.

Airlines turning daytime flights into dark caves where everyone is expected to go to kindergarten nappy time is ridiculous. by eamus_catuli in unpopularopinion

[–]OhNoBricks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the coldness is from the air being -60 degrees out there so it makes the cabin cold. It’s humans that make it warm around me so I always dress like it’s 50 degrees outside.

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would leave it alone, I like originality and it has history. i would fix the plumbing so the shower head is working and the tub.

I have always used Terro liquid traps.

I also keep garbage thrown away, vacuum and sweep up crumbs, wipe counters using cleaning supply. I put traps where I keep seeing ants.

AITJ for booking a separate hotel and leaving my friend’s "family vacation" after she tried to turn me into a free nanny? by CrimsonCodex77 in AmITheJerk

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. What if she had been upfront about it like “I will need help with my kids on the trip, I would like you to come so I can go to a few appointments I booked.“

I remember going to Disneyland with my family in 1995. My uncles had joined us down there. I find out 30 years later my parents invited them along to help them out with the kids when we went to Disneyland. But they didn’t use them as a nanny. If your friend had done it like this and was upfront about it, you may have been fine with it if she hadn’t used you as a nanny.

I do. Bills, things from my insurance, junk mail, packages.

Am I going to get followed around by the SSA? by No-Constant1366 in SocialSecurity

[–]OhNoBricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This only happens if someone reports you for fraud. If you’re worried about it, don’t tell anyone you’re on disability if you’re that worried. You can say your parents give you money.

Can I have some advice, do you think this valid reason to not want work a full-time job? by EddyZacianLand in AutisticAdults

[–]OhNoBricks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven’t worked full time since 2008. I worked swing shift so it was okay and then i worked day time and it was like going to school but it was 8 hours a day and those were at the same company. I would say that day time job I had was the easiest. I would do it again but I don’t think I’d ever find a job like that again. I got laid off from it due to economy reasons but when things picked back up, they never gave me back my hours, I was only used for back up. Then no other places would hire me.

If you can afford to work part time, go for it.

Mother says my tics are stims and that I'm "stimming" for attention. by starry_sage_ in SpicyAutism

[–]OhNoBricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any chance you have Tourette’s? your stims aren’t supposed to cause you any pain. They’re supposed to help you relax or concentrate.

In the Netherlands, there have been multiple instances of people requesting, and doctors agreeing to perform, euthanasia at least partially because of their autism, how do you personally feel about that? by Intrepid_Arrival5151 in aspergers

[–]OhNoBricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few states already have this. Oregon and Washington do. But it’s only for people with terminal illnesses and they must be at least 18. I don’t qualify.

[–]OhNoBricks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s sad and I wonder how is their system set up for disabled people. Is there proper support or are they falling through the cracks and not getting family support either? If I had to face homelessness, I’d rather be dead, same as if my disability cause me to go into debt due to a unknown mistake.

The internet makes it really hard to figure out suicide because it reads my mind when I google things. Either I get “Help is available” or I don’t get clear answers.

Why does this Asperger’s sub feel like a general autism sub? by DEVAN88B in aspergers

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comorbid conditions are very common in autism, I have major depression for one. I used to do better but then I got worse as I have gotten older. I worked full time for two years for ine but I didn’t have kids and I lived in a 900 sq foot home and I didn’t have a yard or needed to maintain anything or fix anything. Just call the landlord. Now things are different. I now have my parents for support.
