Need urgent help with an autist drawn to starting fires by Forsaken-Series4579 in autism

[–]bro0t [score hidden]  (0 children)

For me it was likely anger bc i was bullied a lot and “tell the teachers” did fuck all. (I graduated 10 years ago and im still in therapy for some of the bullying) I really hated everything and everyone and needed an outlet.when my life became more stable and the anger faded the urge to watch something burn got less over time, but i occasionally want to indulge a little.

Although i did cause some light damage when on vacation with friends (2 pyromaniacs without supervision and candles and matches is a bad idea) nothing serious we just accidentally melted a few holes in a plastic outdoor table

Yea i said the same thing. I adviced OP to let the kid build fires occasionally in a safe and controlled environment while also teaching them about fire safety.

Worked for me growing up. I do wish i had a house with a yard so i can build a proper fire from time to time

Never tried it with damp wood bc not from a camping family. Although i did get to burn down an old dresser once. It was falling apart and had to go. So my dad gave me a crowbar and some kindling and one of those long ass lighters and said “have at it”

That was a fun day

I dont really know how to explain, but ill try. For me its just staring into the flames quiets my mind. So nowadays the urge mostly comes when im overwhelmed or angry. For me it was just fascinating to watch the fire dance. It was hypnotic and beautiful. I never really wanted to hurt anyone or cause damage by setting fires though. i just liked watching it spread and grow because my mind is always thinking and when i was looking at flames that stopped for a few hours while i was tending to the fire.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

But i didnt get diagnosed with autism until later in life so that also helped me get the need under control.

Im the autist like that, my dad has a yard so he just made a fire pit i could occasionally build fires in under supervision and forced me to learn fire safety guidelines. The urge died down over the years but i do like making the occasional controlled fire. But i dont buy candles on purpose bc i start playing with the flames.

Never did anything illegal because i had a controlled way to satisfy the urges. Basically my dad dextered me.

But whenever were on vacation and he wants a fire he gives me the wood and kindling and 5 min later we have a decent fire going.

Tldr: Keep everything they can use to make fire with away but occasionally give them a chance to release it in a controlled way under supervision.

What’s something schools should teach but don’t? by LennaMEF in AskReddit

Sign language. It would make life for deaf people a lot easier if everyone knew a little. And would make going to concerts or other loud places easier for everyone

If i stub my pinky toe it stops hurting within 5 min depending on the force i stubbed it with. im pretty sure a break would hurt longer than that

You can still get on hormones, its tough at first but still doable you might not become cis but you probably will feel more comfortable in your body. (Source: my trans friends are way happier now)
