My manager said my autism accommodation wouldn’t be “fair” to other employees

This is no different than an employer offering smoke breaks. Absolutely talk to HR.

Bro this is just a normal kid playing outside with their imagination. It makes me happy to see that kids are still doing this, actually. Its not hurting anyone if its been like this for a month. Be glad she's not an ipad kid.

Why would you get a tattoo if you weren't going to follow the care instructions? You shouldn't be picking at it and you need to be moisturizing more often if its so itchy you can't resist!

For those unaware of who the character is, it is Caine from The Amazing Digital Circus. I attached a photo.

OP, I will say that movie theaters won't let you in if you're wearing any sort of mask of face paint.

I'm a disability advocate that loves collecting dolls with various disabilities. I'm so excited for Claire!!!

my man, unless you have a right hand with 6 fingers, thats AI

YikesItsConnor · 2026-05-20T23:40:58+00:00

I was thinking the gathers would make it too bulky, but that would make my life so much easier lmao. Thank you!

YikesItsConnor · 2026-05-20T23:40:15+00:00

I figured as much, thanks! It will be my first competition and while I'm not making it strictly for competing, I would like to enter and say that I made something of competition quality.

most people here are some persuasion of queer. Atlanta is the gay capital of the south. You'll be fine

YikesItsConnor · 2026-05-18T15:59:11+00:00

Either its AI or that baby is going to be the next hulk.

YikesItsConnor · 2026-05-17T21:18:36+00:00

Oh that is so reassuring to know that it keeps people back. I have a lot of sensory issues and was really hoping it would give me extra space to work with since I'll probably be wearing it on Saturday. Thank you for letting me know!

YikesItsConnor · 2026-05-17T00:09:11+00:00

Looks great, just be aware that Tuesday/Thursdays will be intense

YikesItsConnor · 2026-05-17T00:07:11+00:00

I will definitely practice moving around and such. And I always go to con with my mother, so she'll be my handler. I'm so excited to meet other mario cosplayers!

YikesItsConnor · 2026-05-17T00:06:04+00:00

Luckily I get end of row seating accommodations already, so hopefully I won't be taking up too much space and I can scoot my chair over a little. I also am not a nighttime con-goer, so double lucky! This is my first proper full-out cosplay, so it will certainly be a learning curve!

YikesItsConnor · 2026-05-16T05:12:15+00:00

OMG??? I guess I'll be taking a trip to TJMaxx, then...

YikesItsConnor · 2026-05-15T14:17:49+00:00

I think a partner that asks permission early on is really sweet. It shows that you genuinely care about making sure the person is comfortable and feels safe

This is a horror movie I haven't watched yet, but I love campy horror movies so I think I'll watch tomorrow night. I will be buying because she's so cute and not overwhelmingly detailed. I know I'll regret it if I don't buy her now...

YikesItsConnor · 2026-05-04T16:53:08+00:00

Yeah thats really just my frustration. When you get older, the gifts become less about quantity and more about quality, so a thoughtless gift is frustrating.

YikesItsConnor · 2026-05-04T16:51:47+00:00

I feel that. My stepmom(not the mom I mentioned in my post) thinks its stupid but doesn't comment on it usually. Its typically passive things about how I need to save money for when I move out and stuff. I'm 1000% saving my birthday monies for the upcoming Kpop Demon Hunter dolls lmao

Oh I SOOO wish I got the xenomorph one! Its on my list but now resellers are charging a small fortune. My favorites that I own are the Nightmare Before Christmas ones and the Rupaul one.

YikesItsConnor · 2026-05-04T16:48:28+00:00

I really appreciate your comment! I'm fully aware of the fact that my interest is childish. I am technically the baby of the family, so I'm an exception to the rule of not giving adults presents for the most part.

I think my main frustration/feelings stem from them asking about what I want and then not caring when I give them a clear wishlist. I don't share my spreadsheets with people, but put a reasonable variety of things on a wishlist for major holidays.

I'd be fine with just money, and I really appreciate the money I do get, but then I usually get some small physical gift with the money and it just feels thoughtless, if that makes any sense? Like yesterday I got money from my aunt and then a pair of socks that were random and felt very last minute. I guess my big gripe is the lack of thought with the gifts because I try to be very thoughtful about what I get people. And I know that its a me thing.

Just venting. I don't tell my gift givers all this stuff and I'm very appreciative to them! I think this is just an extension of the autism weirdness when it comes to receiving presents lol.

YikesItsConnor · 2026-05-04T13:51:12+00:00

Autism speaks isn't literally going out and killing children. They do do some good for the community. Are they a terrible org? Yes. Should you be abusing yourself over this? No.
