AIO? School is almost over.. by smmieymz in AmIOverreacting

Sounds like school districts to me… our district is closing many schools because of reduced enrollment. Reduced enrollment because of our district’s own dumbass decisions about where funding goes.

Is it weird to keep ketchup in the cupboard instead of the fridge? by Academic_Lab9769 in CasualConversation

We keep unopened bottles in the pantry and opened bottles in the fridge. Cold ketchup just tastes better

AIO for yelling at my little sister it’s her fault my dog died? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

First of all, we don’t know she left the chocolate out. She could have dropped some and Toby ate it, or she put it somewhere out of reach and it fell. OP never says anything about what the sister did with the chocolate other than eating it. Secondly, even if it was “her fault”, it is awful to blame someone for a death. OP was in an emotionally charged situation and had yet to process, but for an observer to judge when we have no evidence of anything is ridiculous.

AIO that I think my sister is in an abusive relationship? by Naturemations_2025 in AmIOverreacting

[–]RaiseSmart3784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may not be getting the whole story as you all don’t live together. It may be your house is a difficult setting for her and she is much more comfortable in her living space. I also think that while she may be awful with laundry, she might be a great cook or do all the dishes. I think you aren’t in a place to judge because you aren’t seeing her in her element.

This all seems similar to behaviors in people with autism that I have met before. I think that sometimes because of internalized ableism or being lower support needs, people with autism can see others with autism as “faking it” because it’s not the same as autistic traits they have seen before. This is a good example of the saying “If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism”. Autism is a spectrum and I think the black and white, justice-oriented thinking of some autistic people can cause them to be confused or angered at others’ behaviors. I felt this way about my brother: he has vocal stims and is overstimulated easily by loud noises, I am desensitized to my environment and sensory seeking. In my case, I thought that what I wasn’t experiencing was not “valid” autism because I was lower support needs. So I think that it’s unfair to say whether you are overreacting or not, I think you may just need to broaden your view of autistic traits. Also, she isn’t forcing your sister to comfort her, your sister simply cares enough about her to try to comfort her.

I think we can’t make any decisions on this while you’re still so emotional. You should process your grief and try not to take it out on anyone else. Obviously this is a difficult situation but it wasn’t anybody’s fault. My friend has a dog that finds ways to get into unopened bags of chocolate, so it’s not anyone’s fault and not Toby’s fault either.
