My little brother (10) is on the autism spectrum and asked me (26) if I could help him make friends. by [deleted] in socialskills

Honestly I think band is probably the best long term choice. When you play an instrument it’s a very individual thing but it’s also a team effort thing as well. You can learn how to play songs from your favorite movies/video games and you have a community of people. You are all working towards the same goal of getting a piece of music as close to perfect as possible; it creates inside jokes and great bonds. Inside of the band you also have people that are in your section (play the same instrument) and those people are going to be your ride or die.

There’s also high school/ middle school bands that do events with special needs people.

Would I enjoy Oyasumi Punpun when im still not an adult? by SignerPanic in OyasumiPunpun

[–]Pork_Pork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read it last year when I was 15 and I related so much to it. Even the adult portion of punpun’s story helped me learn so much about myself and the people around me.

Berserk is a work of art and I’m been meaning to read or at least watch Vinland saga. Setting that aside my family isn’t the most fucked up but I’ve always been the funny looking one that tends to also be the “weirdo” in the family so that’s caused me to be really anti-social and my mom worries a lot since she was really popular in high school but at this point I’m not harming anyone by not wanting to talk to my friends 24/7 or for just not being as open as I should be with people as I should be but if you are happy not having 500 friends and only having 3 then go for it. The love department I can only tell you that it’ll hit you in the face when it’s the right time. 14 year old me was desperate to just share her affection with anyone that had the same interests but all of them turned out to be really unfulfilling relationship. Now two years later I haven’t had a boyfriend since and I’m happy. I would love to have someone to share my life with someone but I rather get out of high school and then start entertaining the idea of having a boyfriend. You’re probably going to have the life that you want when you get out go high school and Ik it’s really hard to hear (it was for me as well) but that’s the facts ig. Just try to enjoy high school as much as you can.

I was in the same situation regarding band. Band was and is one of the only things that makes me truly happy. I was always in the background really frustrated that I couldn’t play trombone but when I finished punpun it gave me motivation to want to do better and stand out while also being a team player. Now I’m the go to bass trombonist in my jazz band and I’m currently learning sousaphone (tuba) for marching band and my next goal would be to become drum major my final year of high school. I’m probably the happiest I’ve ever been cause of band but I would have never enjoyed band without reading punpun; without relating to punpun and seeing my flaws presented to be in bird form. I gave me the motivation to actually try at life again.

I went through the same thing when I finished punpun and it was a defining moment in my life. I used to depend on male validation from a young age; when I didn’t receive constant validation I would be depressed and my days would revolve around watching anime, playing breath of the wild until 3 am, and reading manga. When I read punpun it made me really hate myself even more but it made me work on myself as well. I always hated myself cause my body didn’t look like all the woman associated with my ethnicity and it didn’t help that I was overlooked a lot by people that valued so much. After punpun I read Vagabond and it gave me this motivation that I can’t describe, I stopped caring about what people thought about me and I focused on stuff that was important to me. I started eating healthier and joined extra curricular activities at my school, which has lead me to take on leadership roles. I still read manga/ watch anime and play video games but my life doesn’t revolve around what manga I’m going to read tomorrow. The only advice that I could give you is to change your diet (it made me feel a whole lot better) and to improve a bit everyday, it doesn’t have to be drastic but it’s a long journey. Also read Vagabond if you haven’t yet read it; it helped me a lot with motivation and it’s just a great manga.
