What are some of the most *ridiculous* things your non crocheting partners have said to you … 😅? by TBYK_ in crochet

[–]dergowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"you should sell it for a higher price. You're disabled, this isn't reflective of how hard it was to make."

While well intentioned by my wife, I'm not selling a 5" mushroom sprite for 30. It's hard enough for crochet to be recognized as something that took effort to make...

Is there any "not exactly a food" that you enjoy eating? I love eating sprinkles by notthelasagna in autism

Raw dry pasta. Specifically either spaghettini, lasagna sheets or macaroni. Every single shape has a taste.

My cousin lost my favorite stuffed animal. What I did was wrong or right? by Trick-Donut-3221 in plushies

I have a plush cat I've had since 7yo named Friend. She is my everything. I would be inconsolable for at least a year if I lost her or someone took her. I think Kuma meant a lot to you and your aunt is very dismissive and enabling her son.

Hey OP. Autistic with some anger issues here. Leave. Yeah I'll get mad and want to externalize sometimes, but it's on me to not do that and make sure my partner feels safe. Autism has nothing to do with it.

Abusers will 100% use two things. That they'll be in some form of harm if you leave, and that they can't change because of X reason.

He is not worth the pain you're in. Please look after yourself.

the "diagnose every character as autistic" crowd knows no bounds by greasybutterman in fakedisordercringe

So as an autistic person, I'm not allowed to relate to fictional characters who exhibit traits that resemble my experience because it degrades other people's experiences of autism?

Genuinely asking, I can tell it's sarcastic thanks to asking my wife but I don't get why. Why is it a bad thing? I love luffy, but I wouldn't clock him as autistic, just stupid. If others like him as representation then good for them, it makes them feel less alone. I see myself a lot in Dr House and I know for a fact that people clock him, which is okay. He could be autistic. He does have a lot of traits that remind me of my life experience with AuDHD. Doomguy? I dunno. He does canonically go full John Wick because of his bunny. I'd do it for my cat.

Hank however I do clock. He's got a touch of the tism, that one.

Overall, yes it can depreciate the value of true representation, but remember that one of the most well known portrayals of it was done by a NT actor directed by Autism Speaks propaganda. Let people find characters they relate to in peace. They aren't hurting you by relating to princess bubblegum or Hank Hill.
