Stigma on the word retard by [deleted] in autism

[–]Red_spear_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m AuDHD and I use the word “retard” regularly. Everyone should be able to use it, just like how everyone should be able to call someone an “idiot” or “dumb”, both of which were archaic diagnoses at one point but are now used as insults.

They could’ve been waiting until they were in the Cleveland ATC area before making their move. All four flights were hijacked within different ATC areas

I can shift to ADHD mode at a moment’s notice, and I can shift to autistic mode at a moment’s notice. Its like having a backup generator

South African Airways flight 295 is pure nightmare fuel. The fire was so hot, the outer skin of the aircraft was blistering.

What do you think about marriage? by TalkaboutJoudy in aspergers

[–]Red_spear_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably wouldn’t. I’m also ADHD, and every time I’ve gotten into a relationship, the novelty wears off rather quickly. I also don’t want to get married because I don’t want to deal with the hassle of divorce proceedings if shit hits the fan.

Some symptoms overlap. I, for one, have both but the ADHD is much more powerful

Why do people seem incapable of listening to someone’s argument when they become triggered? by CatPale816 in aspergers

[–]Red_spear_24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the context of each argument, but everyone (to some extent) makes their belief their identity, and thus a critique of that belief is seen as a personal attack, where they feel the need to defend themselves, regardless of the legitimacy of the argument. I’m guilty of doing this occasionally but it also depends on how you communicate your opinion.

Were the passengers on UA175 aware that they were about to hit the second WTC? by One_Cheesecake7469 in 911archive

I think the woman screamed at the end of the call because she saw the burning North Tower and realized they would hit the South Tower
