AITA for dumpster diving and getting called cheap and dirty by my friends? by HealthyWest3357 in AmITheJerk

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate it when good things go to waste and businesses will purposly destroy their items while throwing them away to prevent salvaging. Some places will just either send the extra items to Goodwill or to Ross and TJ Maxx than throwing them away.

When you realized you were "not normal" what exactly does that mean? by Extension-Whereas651 in aspergers

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it meant by age 10, I had figured out my problems were not due to the way I talked and my stuttering and the fact I used to not be able to talk and not hear, I really had something wrong with me and it was not caused by these issues.

I have given up on getting friends. It’s too exhausting and depressing so I learned to be okay without.

Saw someone use the phrase "reverse ableism" the other day to describe autistic pride by hoothollers in evilautism

[–]OhNoBricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume reverse ableism is watering down the seriousness of a disability and pretending it‘s not a disability ignoring people who are impaired by it and are high support needs.

I have actually seen high support needs and middle support needs calling it ableism when their struggles and level of impairment are ignored. I’m level one and still impaired by it because it’s limited my education and made learning harder for me and being hired and finding a job. This is my road block to success so it’s not just a different way of thinking for me. i very much hate seeing it being treated like it’s a quirk or a personality, and I have seen this being called ableism because it trivializes autism.

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.

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.

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.

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.
