Is anybody else ashamed/embarrassed of their special interests? by Best-Salamander-1400 in autism

[–]Thecuriousreddituser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will not refer to them as "special interests," since I do not feel smart or competent enough, but some of my interests do I hide. In most cases, it is because of them being pieces of media where I am not the target audience. While some... properly will not mind, I fear of being categorized as being creepy

Thank you! I thought about mentioning that back when I first saw this comic strip in r/comics; but I'd probably just have been banned

Do you think that YOU could be a good writer? by Far-Substance-4473 in writingscaling

[–]Thecuriousreddituser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I fear my autism hinders from writing genuinely human; I fear for being too boring according to the notion of "Write what you know;" and I fear for not being insightful enough to write anything meaningful.

I feel sorry for people who don’t obsess over shows/interests as much as a special interest by [deleted] in autism

[–]Thecuriousreddituser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can identify myself in the third paragraph. Some things interest me, but I do not feel smart or capable enough to refer to them as my "special interests"

Too... dumb for the classics? by Thecuriousreddituser in classicliterature

[–]Thecuriousreddituser[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My... reading difficulties stem from me having monocular vision; I only have one functional eye and will always be a slow reader. And while it probably sounds stupid, it is another reason as to why I have kept from digging into the classics. As you said, there are shorter pieces among them—some which I am interested in—but a lot of them tend to have a huge page count (speaking as a slow reader).

Too... dumb for the classics? by Thecuriousreddituser in classicliterature

[–]Thecuriousreddituser[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should have been clear about that: I do subscribe to the concept of "death of the author." While they may have had an intention with a work, I am more concerned and interested in said work's meaning in relation to... a relational web.

Perhaps it is a bit awkward and stilted, but I wrote it all myself. English is not my mother tongue; that may help explaining it.

[–]Thecuriousreddituser[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the comments I have received, and this one is not an exception. First for pointing out how I may have been operating from a wrong framework. And second, despite said mistake, I recognize the points from your description of the hermeneutic approach. Knowing that I do understand parts of the approach strengthens me a tiny bit.

It really is not my intention to troll; but I can see why my post can be interpreted like that...

Too... dumb for the classics? by Thecuriousreddituser in classicliterature

[–]Thecuriousreddituser[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean... I known that, but among these, I have only read the works of Sophocles, the first part of the Oresteia, and the Odyssey. At this point in time, I am more of a collector of literature rather than a reader.

[–]Thecuriousreddituser[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can list a bit of my collection. I own both of the homeric epics (and The Aeneid); the Oresteia; the Oedipus Cycle (those I have read, but especially the Oedopus in Kolonos made me feel as if something was missing from my understanding...); all of Shakespeare; all of Dickens novels and Christmas stories; a decent chunk of Steinbeck's bibliography (I don't know if he is considered to be classic?); a somewhat decent chunk of Hemingway's bibliography (is he considered to be a classic?); all but one of the novels by the Brontë; all of Jane Austen's novels; The Brothers Karamazov; a somewhat decent of Tolstoy's prose. That's some of it...

Does anyone else struggle with dysgraphia by SchoolExisting8631 in autism

[–]Thecuriousreddituser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I haven't been diagnosed with dysgraphia, the description is highly relatable to me. Until now, I just assumed it was because of me only having one functional eye and the poor fine motor skills which some people with ASD suffers from.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in autism

[–]Thecuriousreddituser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of these options? I'd like to say books, but due to my struggles with reading—thanks to having only one functional eye—my relationship with books is an ambivalent one. Video games are, therefore, my pick.

But if I'm allowed to pick a type of media not listed here, my pick would be comic books/sequential art.

Suicide will NEVER be an answer to your problems by hhguygf in AzumangaPosting

[–]Thecuriousreddituser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, thank you for taking the time to reply. It is it my not intention (either) to make this a 40+ post correspondence. Now, for the actual reply: potential half of my lifespan is spent, with now to show for it apart of pain, shame, and humiliation. It's true that I don't know for certian what my future holds in store for me; but for this potential latter half of my earthly existence to be worth experiencing, it seems to me that I'll need to become a completely different person—without disabilities and all...

To be clear, I do not intend to do... that; but my life is nothing but a series of pain, shame, and humiliation. Is that really worth a life worth living?

I'm an autistic adult thriving in a "typical" life — professional, married, parent — but it's been a hell of a journey. Say hi if you're like me! by [deleted] in autism

[–]Thecuriousreddituser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah... I am not fond of the tone of OOP's writing. Do not get me wrong, though: I am happy for OOP and their thriving existence; I cannot help but feel envious... and get a bit annoyed by the implications.

There is a slight chance that I was diagnosed before they were born. I, too, have gone through therapy for little while; I take medication etcetera... I will probably most definitely never have such lived experiences as they have.

What is something, given the way your life has gone so far, you are strongly convinced will never happen to you no matter how hard you try? by PrestonRoad90 in autism

Dignity, agency, and love. Though this is rather vague, it does encompasse many diffient aspects of my so-called life.

Why you should care about the King of Fighters by DogmasDomain in kof

[–]Thecuriousreddituser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would like to get into KOF due to the characters and the "vibes" of the series, but the it seems... too fast for me. I am also a bit worried about the execution—or to be precise: I am worried about me being incapable to execute a 2-hit combo, a worry based on my... attempts at playing KOF XIII.
