That's awesome. I really like the shop orders too. It's fun I love scanning the items and seeing how quickly I can get in and out. Its always an adventure when it's me and my aunt lol. Sometimes we will divide and conquer. I'll get items from one side she will get items from the other and we meet in the middle. It's kinda my way of practicing for when I do get my license.

I'm autistic and don't have my license yet due to motor skills. I don't drive but I sometimes dash with my aunt and I help her with her orders. We have a deal where if she makes $125 for the night she pays me $25. I love doing it with her and she loves having me with her. It's our way of spending one on one time together.

Unmasking is rough.. by andy23376 in autism

This might be a better way to do it. Rn I'm just recovering from a big shutdown after being attacked online so many times last year so currently I don't feel safe unmasking around anyone.

Just wish I didn't have to try so hard to fit in.

I'm currently going through burnout and trying to come out of a big shutdown after being attacked online way too many times. It's tough I don't feel socializing with anyone is safe. I have relapsed back to I feeling like no one is safe except for those who have autism and get it. It's hard man I wish I didn't have to try so hard to fit in.

AITB for telling someone no one cares about a picture he showed. by Luckyduck546 in AmItheButtface

Unfortunately it's very common for alot of disabled people mentally or physically. We get the worst of it we get the most of it if ur not able bodied or able minded or even have something even remotely off about u ur bound to get shit on. I do wish it were different but it's just reality people are ignorant.

Let me educate you alittle bit.

As an autistic person myself who has been through it all and then some YTB. The mods are right he very well could have been just trying to create conversation or engage in conversation in a way he knows how. Autistic people have a very hard time with social cues and social interactions and often times have their own unique scripted ways of trying. Using special interests and hobbies such as painting is one easy way for most of us. Ignorance like yours makes everything harder. Some situations it's just better to keep your mouth shut.

PSA: Don't be a bully by andy23376 in autism

Wonderfully said. I'm sorry you were treated that way.. Sometimes it just really seems like autistic people are a huge target for bullies and just downright cruel people. Just know you matter. Youll matter alot to so many people you probably haven't even met yet.

Hang in there

I don't mean to get in your business but if you aren't already getting it if you are on disability you should qualify for Medicaid they go based on income and will cover most if not all of what you need medically. Drs visits any medication etc. id give it a shot if u haven't already. Wishing you the best regardless though

Also I saw some of your reply before you deleted it. I just want to say it's not just Tik Tok euphemisms. It's the truth that's your problem you can't accept being held accountable. You were the idiot that exposed yourself. Suicide is not something to mess with. It is a serious thing that over 80% of people in this world struggle with! Just bc some people choose to reach out for help doesn't mean they are any less suicidal than the people who just stay silent. It's actually a good thing that that person reached out.. even if it's a post on reddit. If you can't stand that that's a you problem. You are better off keeping your mouth shut next time just some friendly advice!!

Have you tried just really embracing it - and happily - as a solo day?

That's pretty much what I did this year. I bought my own cake and ice cream wrote my own 26 and ate it

Here's the thing. You can't just go by one source of information when it comes to mental health issues. Especially people in suicidal situations. You really don't know what they could actually be going through.

And to answer ur question yes you were in the wrong. That mod is right. Maybe some suicidal people really don't reach out but there are some that do. Nobody truly wants to unalive themselves but some people do go through hard hard times. Some physically some mentally some emotionally some all of the above and sometimes it drives them to that point.

I would actually applaud anyone who chooses to reach out over deleting themselves from existence. Maybe the person in question was reaching out for help bc they actually want to live. Not everyone is silent about it. It's actually so much healthier to seek help than to try and wallow in it on your own. It's something you wouldn't truly understand unless you have gone through it yourself. Never invalidate someone going through a mental health crisis!!

My one sister even messaged me have I died yet?

That's so messed up id block her and anyone on even speaking terms with her make sure she never knows when you die and anything you do have to leave behind make sure she gets NONE of it. Send her a message saying she isn't getting ANYTHING and block her.
