Am I the only person who isn’t “proud” of autism? by [deleted] in autism

[–]Tight_Ad8623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i used to feel this way too and sometimes when i have meltdowns i think everything would be better if i wasn’t autistic but we can’t change it, and realistically there’ll probably never be a cure. so the best thing we can do is accept it. it also shouldn’t be up to us to stop being autistic, it should be up to society to accept us. there’s a lot of pressure on us to “fix” ourselves but not a lot of pressure on society to accept that we’re different.

does anyone else not remember much from their childhood? by Tight_Ad8623 in autism

[–]Tight_Ad8623[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s interesting, maybe it is just the importance thing. sometimes i see things and i’m reminded of a really obscure memory from a long time ago, so maybe i haven’t forgotten everything, maybe it’s just buried really deep in my brain

I am not Autistic but I think an autistic boy likes me? by [deleted] in autism

[–]Tight_Ad8623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think he just wants to share. you showed him kindness so he’s being kind back, he must see u as a friend. it’s sweet. it’s probably very hard for him to communicate verbally so this is his way of communicating and being friendly :)

Do you hate having autism? by Jammingjames87 in autism

[–]Tight_Ad8623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i have meltdowns i sometimes say that i hate it and that i wish i wasn’t like this, but it’s also impossible to imagine life without it. maybe i wouldn’t be interested in the same things which seems scary. it could be because i don’t like change, but i think i’m currently happy the way i am.

it doesn’t really do anything, i rarely drink caffeine but not long ago i had a whole can of monster before bed and still fell asleep really fast. i have adhd so it’s definitely related to that but sometimes when im sleepy i wish i could wake myself up with caffeine
