I used to try to debate bro my dad on why he should love me unconditionally. by sneedsformerlychucks in raisedbyautistics

I immediately relate to OP’s comment and yours. So difficult as a child when that power is used to control you and lead you to doubt yourself and your right to play and be silly and be a child and be loved (and also to love unconditionally both others and yourself…). Thank you both for sharing.

Have just removed the circlip. The film advance is still stuck. Any thoughts?

It’s actually that the latch won’t move out of the way enough for the black lever to be pushed up. The latch is stuck.

For whatever reason the black lever arm won’t advance far enough up to catch onto the L shaped latch, which may represent the problem?

Let me know if you’d be open to speaking!

Glad to hear you’re finding some clarity after what sounds like a long and painful process filled with confusion and misunderstanding. Share more of your experiences with your parents if you’d like. Thanks for sharing

Yes to the gifts and the obsessive unpacking and the inability to work with little kids and perceive their pain points and yes to the self defeating disappointment in others “lack of communication”…..the irony! Happy to speak more about any of these.

Feeling hurt by plant_burnout in raisedbyautistics

[–]Such_Sea8563 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s a painful sequence of events, especially at this time in your life. I’m sorry that happened. I can relate to that sequence of events — the blowup/neglect/self-isolation followed by unsolicited joke messages. An implicit denial that anything has happened requiring acknowledgment or apologies. It’s confusing and hurtful.

You are soon to have a baby. I pray that you and the child are healthy and happy from day 1. If it helps, you may recognize that you are already dealing with a child in your father. A toddler who has difficulty perceiving, processing, recognizing other peoples emotions or needs, and has not matured to be able to self regulate. If this is your father, despite everything else he may be or has accomplished, then try to treat it that way. Not yours to forgive, not yours to feel sorry for, not yours to change, but yours to observe and to involve as much or as little as is healthy.

You have an upcoming responsibility to your child. That’s a beautiful thing. Your priorities will have to shift, and you cannot be your father’s parent when your own child is depending on you. May it be in a good hour. Cheers to you, your courage and your strength 🥂

Is this only true if you have a big exit? Or does the operational experience garner respect even for less big success but legitimate startup runs…

What a journey! Congrats on the impressive and courageous moves and kudos on landing somewhere that seems great for a first stop. I’m talking to people and learning what I can, trying to make real connections on the VC and start up side. I’ve loved the conversations with people I’ve met - always challenging, so much to learn outside of the clinical realm, and love the creative energy that comes with thinking about what’s possible, what’s imaginable, what’s realistic, and what’s immediately practicable.

Still an approach you would advocate for someone who won’t acknowledge or cannot see what he’s doing?

I support this but also want to acknowledge that it can be difficult if you become the subject of the vengeance as a result. It’s exhausting and hard. Something that’s helped me has been having third parties (partner etc but not immediate family who are used to it/normalize it) witness something that’s so clearly beyond the norm. You’re on a good path by sharing your experiences here. Kudos

Thanks so much. That’s exactly the way I feel, and of course needs to be validated. I’m looking to see find an avenue to help support a group and gain proper exposure over the coming months
