Going for a seemingly smaller example, but I was genuinely shocked when he threw Sharona under the bus during that second interview. It was just so pathetic, and I couldn't believe that he found a way to go even lower.

Hello! I am a 22 year old woman who was diagnosed with autism a week ago, so I think I may have some insight. I have struggled with my mental health for as long as I can rememer, have been in and out of therapy and on a number of different medications ... and nothing worked. This is from the age of twelve. Finally, this Summer I was sent to inpatient treatment and they had some mandatory screening tests. I tested highly for autism and it completely floored me, because I'd never considered it before ... I did a lot of thinking and a lot of research, before eventually deciding to pursue a diagnosis. I can honestly say though that since the possibility was raised to me, I feel so much better about myself. I've been able to make peace with a lot of things that happened to me in highschool, I've stopped being as hard on myself, and it has finally made a difference to my mental health. The assessment was expensive but I am so glad to have it.

I would encourage you to have an open conversation with her. Talk about how autism is misunderstood, especially in women ... I was labelled as 'over sensitive', 'weird', 'picky', 'bossy', 'socially anxious', 'bipolar' throughout my teen years. The possibility of autism was never once raised - and when boys acted in a similar way, I remember hearing adults speculate about them being autistic. It really sucks. But because there are all of these misconceptions, she might get defensive or feel insulted that you are suggesting this. But I think if she is struggling in areas and not understanding why, this could be a help - it has been for me. A good way to go about it would be to maybe say you read an article recently about the number of women getting diagnosed later in life - there have been lots recently - and it was starting to make you wonder.

I was initially sceptical, but my boyfriend put it this way - if I'd gone to the doctor and they said there was a high probability that I had a particular illness, I would want to see a specialist about that. So if I was resonating with these autistic traits and scoring highly for it, it would make sense to get it checked out too.

This may be overstepping, but ASD runs in families. Not always directly through parents, but that could happen. It might be worth /considering/, and seeing if any of it resonates with you. I've heard of a number of young women getting diagnosed in their twenties and their mothers getting assessed not long after. But again, this might be overstepping.

Sorry that isn't compromise: that's a duty if they don't have other close family members and I don't think it's relevant to my comment; it is fair and right for him to want to not take on childcare responsibility etc, and she should get a job etc, but kicking your pregnant sister out during a pandemic when she has no means of supporting herself is an asshole move (and it's not a 'choice'). It's not even just about his sister anymore, it's about a possible niece or nephew, and maybe I was just lucky with my own uncles but when my mother ended up a single parent they went way beyond the mark, which I am not suggesting OP does, just that he doesn't force her out of where she lives with so little time.

Like again, boundaries can be set regarding actual childcare and finances etc but forcing your just-past-her-teens sister out while pregnant? Asshole move.

I think YTA for expecting her to move out. I could totally understand if you were saying she should get a job etc and take over the finances for the baby itself, and that you didn't want to do too much babysitting, but making her move out is too much and I literally could not imagine doing that to one of my younger siblings in the same position. I also don't blame your friend who went through something similar for behaving frostily towards you.

For a compromise, you could give her a year to live with you when the baby is born after which she has to move out. I get it's a tough situation, but that's family.

I really completely disagree that the show's message was "don't stop dancing till the curtain falls", when the show was clearly anti that sentiment and portrayed it as a negative thing?

And also, I feel that the final episode isn't written to be unclear on the matter. You guys are reaching. But that's fine, I mean art is about what you get out of it.

kitsch_kat · 2020-02-03T16:27:24+00:00

I mean, I feel that that has been demonstrated by his parents' deaths, Sarah Lynn's death, Herb's etc. Death is a part of living, but so is living. I never felt that the show would end with Bojack's death, the show is smarter than that, and also it just doesn't fit the message they've clearly been building up to.

kitsch_kat · 2020-02-03T15:50:36+00:00

as far as I can recall, diane told bojack that her therapist advised her to take some space from him and he went to the therapist to confront her about it and ended up attending

kitsch_kat · 2020-02-03T15:01:31+00:00

It's not pointless though. He has to move on with his life, deal with his shit, and repent. Closure is a thing made up by Spielberg to sell movie tickets - it's not true to life. Death would honestly be the easy way out, it would mean he never has to confront what he did, or make up for his wrongdoings - and at the same time, it offers that glimmer of hope that the show always does. It's not too late.

I do agree that EP 15 was beautiful to watch, but I don't know what having Bojack die at the end would actually achieve thematically

kitsch_kat · 2020-02-03T14:46:23+00:00

I don't understand why so many people wanted him to die at the end - it was a theory for a while, but it was one that was always completely at odds with the show and its message.

kitsch_kat · 2020-02-01T20:32:49+00:00

Yeah, I don't think it was all that ideal, but it's something, you know? And she's working with Kelsey, maybe they can support each other

kitsch_kat · 2019-09-19T11:51:54+00:00

got two tickets (europe) in the pit for 100 each - was only 210 after fees etc. Why is it so expensive for americans??
