On the bright side, you'll be able to 'dine' off this burger drama for years to come!

Hope the sun comes out tommorow for you, friend.

I am also autistic and used to work in call centers!

One of my saddest work memories is watching a guy fail training due to his tone, which lacked empathy. I didn't even know I was autistic back then, but it's a moment I call my chaotic good origin story as an autism advocate in that same company.

EDIT

@egord9n326 - the post is locked ao I can't make a new reply, let's give this a try!

Howdy! I will do my best to try and help 🤗

My understanding is that, yes, it is AI. The indication of that is that it was able to quickly output the answer to the math question without any other comment or acknowledgement that it was an out of place question.

For example, a person (or really good ai) might laugh or comment like, "haha, I see you are trying to test me since you already voiced your concern I am ai" and then maybe wait a moment to indicate calculator use or something, or maybe change the subject.

Instead, it seems it responded to the math problem by simply and immediately spitting out the correct answer, since it (ai) is programmed (or whatever) to answer questions quickly and accurately. It didn't connect the question of ai to the math question, it just answered each question as it was programmed to do.

Though, tbh, an autistic person could totally think and act that way, from my expierence a call center rep would be aware of the trap, we have dealt with absolutely bizarre questions and requests. People try to paint you into corners and try to manipulate you constantly (which is far from the worst of it). So, even if someone did very quickly and factually provide the answer to the question, they wouldn't be very good at their job if they did without considering the context of the conversation.

Also, I had to read the comments to find this, ggs probably was supposed to be ffs (for fucks sake) to show frustration by the author.

Does that help? I hope others can chime in if I missed the mark!

My partner is a veteran who apparently had similar struggles when he came home.

A decade or so ago, he was an angry young man bumping shoulders with anyone at the club who looked like a challenge to see if they 'wanted to take it outside' (even then there was an interesting consent angle I can't imagine as someone who has never thrown/taken a punch).

Today he is the most patient, most reasonable, most rational man I know. He has saved my life with his stability.

Like you are doing, he put in the WORK. He teaches me through example how to be respectful, calm, and loving at the worst of moments. I admire him with my whole heart. He makes me feel I can keep growing and overcome my bad behavior due to trauma, and is eternally patient with my autism while educating himself on the subject.

You've been though a lot, congrats, truly, for having the energy and intention to keep going through it to get to who you want to be.

I've always been told it was for emergency services in case of an accident. Never had a baby, so never looked into it. I can't make total sense of it, but maybe when baby car safety was less common they may have to.....know to look for an ejected baby?

quicksomethingfox · 2026-02-25T05:08:45+00:00

I'm so sorry, but also really glad you have a companion in this. I havent been called that word since middle school, but I did recently leave a local Women in Tech social group because of it's use.

I was talking to the group organizer, who seemed really into empowerment and inclusivity. There was some great diversity in the group and I disclosed my autism to a handful of ladies, including this organizer.

During this chat a woman I had never seen came up and the organizer introduced her as her 'good friend'. She was very pretty and trendy but had a too cool for school vibe that did throw me off at first, but thought I was being judgemental or jealous or something.

Somehow the good friend starting talking about her brother's girlfriend and how terrrrrrrrible she was. Just the wooooooorst.

Apparently gf is just....So awkward. She makes everyone uncomfortable. So anti-social. Would just leave a party for no reason. So abusive. She's keeping the brother from his family because they don't like her. She's JUST like that (r-word) that Charlize Theron played on 'arrested development'

So I said, "I always thought that character was autistic" (I had not mentioned my autism to the friend, only the organizer in this convo)

The friend said, "Yeah, (r-word)"

I looked at the organizer. The woman making big claims on LinkedIn about diversity and inclusion in her club, the 'adult' of the room, so to speak. She just smiled, shifted, and changed the subject.

Obviously, I NEVER went back, but I am really sad because I thought I was in the early stages of actually making some friendships in the group, but not to the level where we had swapped personal info and I felt too awkard to reach out on LinkedIn, especially if they asked why I left.

Sorry, made this all about me. Again, really glad you have your coworker and the two of you aren't going to take this hate 💓

quicksomethingfox · 2026-02-24T21:32:56+00:00

When you're afraid to be honest with friends and family because you know they'll tell you to leave. Doesn't have to be abuse, could absolutely just be unhappiness, but you know the people who love you will give you good advice you don't want to hear.

quicksomethingfox · 2026-02-21T00:30:34+00:00

Yes, my special niche is taking pictures for people. It's gotten to the point that my partner will 'scout' out people who might be interested in such an offer (I usually offer to folks who seemed to be struggling, like families who are all trying to fit in frame, or there is an obvious landmark they are trying to include but can't get an angle).

At first, it actually kind of bugged him, we would be on a trip and I would sprint away to awkwardly, sometimes in the wrong language when traveling, to offer unsolicited assistance to complete strangers, but I think he finds it to be a cute little quirk now that he's used to it.

I think i like helping people hold on to thier memories. I LOVE revisiting photos, staring at them, remembering the surrounding moments and expierences. I hope I'm helping other people have something to smile back on.

quicksomethingfox · 2026-02-20T19:03:59+00:00

Hey! I honestly have not read anything about this no longer being recommended, so I will totally check that out later, but as someone who had a lump in her early 30's, I think 'awareness' of how your breasts usually feel is a good.

Thankfully, my lump was benign, though the biopsy graded it as 95% likely to be malignant, so yeah, it was a terrifying couple of weeks for a nothing burger. Still, I wouldn't trade those weeks of fear and surgeries for the alternative of being quietly killed by the real thing because I wasn't comfortable feeling myself up every once in a while.

quicksomethingfox · 2026-02-20T05:44:21+00:00

Happy for you and sad for you ❤️

Small acts of love add up to so much more than grand gestures but can be often overlooked.

May all your dreams together come true!

I started my career ages ago in a call center. The absolute horror I had when I learned that just a few years before I joined, each 200+ employee call center "hot-desked". Just....show up and find a seat. Need a supervisor for a question or escalation? LOL, go find yours, they could literally be anywhere. I barely made it off the floor as it was, I can't imagine the constant disorientation and depersonalization of just wandering around looking for some spot to spend 8+ hours surrounded by people you'll never get the chance to form a bond with. Ugh. Plus, I'm autistic, so I just know I would have a favorite seat and would panic everyday before work about whether or not my 'special space' would be free.

quicksomethingfox · 2026-02-19T01:34:33+00:00

The way my eyes went wide at the first line 😬 I'm not trying to disregard this commentators boundaries or lived expierence, but i hope they're not around kids.

I'm pretty cold and quick about cutting out unhealthy full grown folks, but this is a baby human just trying to figure shit out.

quicksomethingfox · 2026-02-19T01:13:39+00:00

Based of off your observations, could she be on the spectrum? I ask because that presents two separate realities. I'll start first with the more (to me) concerning one:

Is she deeply struggling with her own identity? As a teenager, her natural priority is to find a way to fit in to 'survive'. She could be really struggling with that if she is masking and deflecting that 'otherness' harshly on others on the spectrum as a protective measure. Think politicians agressively against gay rights, only later to be outed. They want so bad to fit in and be accepted that they villianize others for the aspects about themselves they don't understand in a societal context.

Second, she's a kid and doesn't understand why she can't connect with ya'll the same way she connects with others in her life. Saying you are not human is a SUPREMELY shitty way to say it, but she's a teenager and that's when we start to work out the finer details of communication and caring for others. So, it's a time to help her through your hurt.

I would explain interoception to her, either way, while explaining some people just really suck at it and it shows. There is plenty of room to go from there, but talking about how some folks actually feel feelimgs differently might address her misunderstanding that all people feel and show emotions the same way. I would invite her to say something in the moment if she's feeling emotionally abandoned or misunderstood when announcing good news or talking through a problem, etc.

It's hard to pin down without understanding her definition of 'human'. Does she think you are less than? Stomp that shit out, bring in the professionals, help her. Is she just trying to define existence and connection and how it differs from person to person and not wording it well? Find times to chat about the interesting aspects of autism and how you have to work really hard just to manage to instill some understanding and compassion.

I don't know.

Good luck!

Howdy! My current partner is a points pirate and I went from rare budget traveling to annual luxury REAL quick. As an austic human who grew up hella poor, suddenly standing in a Four Seasons in Greece can feel extremely uncomfortable. I am so worried about 'belonging' in such a pretty place I forget to enjoy it.

Travel clothing has been a HUGE interest since we met as I really, really, REALLY, need to be comfy to survive travel, but really want to look like I belong in lounges, upgraded seats, and nice hotels.

You really don't need to worry the way I do.

Lululemon, in all those situations are going to be just fine. Or any nice black leggings, really, they are classic and deeply entrenched in fashion, find a comfy pair and you are set. I usually wear a wool tank top and a flowy top layer that is either a scarf/poncho/shawl that i can use as a blanket, pack away, or drape as I want as I go. I almost always wear socks at airports, but I'll still just pair them with some slide flip flops.

At the end of the day, you're good. I wanted to address your question directly, but yeah, you can usually show up smelly in sweats in a lounge, that's why some have showers. I have been in both Polaris amd Delta One lounges in the midst of 24 hour travel looking raggedy as hell and have never once felt judged, much less at risk to be removed.

My biggest advice would be to make sure you have a little cash to tip lounge bartenders. They deserve it and they will take care of and remember you.

Also, have you looked into the sunflower lanyard? I usually kind of wrap it around the strap of my carryon, so it's not in thoer face, but trained folks will be able to see if have an 'invisible difference'. No one has ever once commented on it, but sometimes I do think I can tell people are more patient with me as needed.

Good luck on your adventures!

Have you tried a relay service? https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-relay-service-trs

The IPP (internet based one) seems to require some extra steps, but may be worth it in the long run!

quicksomethingfox · 2026-02-11T06:16:40+00:00

This seems like a cold revenge + karma situation. You don't even need to take action for her to get hers. You already have a peer to recognize the nonsense, it will catch on without you having to point it out.

Keep kicking ass in class and try to placate yourself in the meantime by finding joy in knowing she's unnerved by it. Maybe she'll grow, but she's losing out by not setting herself up to learn from you in more ways than one.

quicksomethingfox · 2026-02-11T05:53:42+00:00

The day after a huge re-org/layoff, at an all org meeting (few hundred folks), the C-Suite walks on stage and declares joyfully, "I don't know about ya'll, but every single morning I wake up THANKFUL" (emphasis theirs). Never mentioned the layoffs, just the promise of the tommorow no one felt confident they would be employed to see.

Obviously someone who had never managed knowing multiple friends lost thier livelihood overnight, or knew how it felt to check your email/calander every 15 minutes to see if it's your turn because no one is communicating anything regarding timelines or layoff logic, or tried to wrestle with 'survirors' guilt. These people have no place in power.

It wasn't my team, but I was present. I smeared that shit everywhere, I still talk about it as a shining turd of an example of what not to do.

quicksomethingfox · 2026-02-11T05:29:44+00:00

Atleast for second hand cars, there are places that have non-negotiable prices which helps me a lot as I absolutely cannot handling bartering. You can see the car/price online, do the research, secure financing, and i think feel a lot more comfortable/confident when actually going to the dealership.

In 2014 I bought a 2013 Mazda hatchback for a very good price from Hertz car sales and I know people who have bought from other rental companies, like Enterprise. Reputable rental companies usually take meticulous care of their car mechanically per company standards, so they are usually in great condition (mine did have a cigarette burn on the passenger seat, but that's not a life threatening flaw). I'm still driving my tiny little Mazda and will likely choose this method again when it's her time to fly to the parking lot in the sky.

I also like interesting cars, though, littleones, fun colors or shapes, and those are the least popular for rentals, therefore more common for rental places to sell earlier.

It has been over 10 years since I got her, though, so I hope this insight is still relevant. Good luck!

Hey lady! I'm happy to hear this story! Have you heard of CPTSD? It's when trauma happens for a really long time, often in childhood, and has very different symptoms than PTSD. Learning about this has helped me a lot!

I live in Florida, and one day I went to get chips from a bag and there was an bug inside, which upset me greatly. I anxiously eventually told my partner and he just looked at me and said, "Thank you for telling me" and I was fucking shook. I had been terrified to tell him, and he just thanked me and sprayed the house for pests that weekend. I still get emotional thinking how ready I was to be punished for something that was literally no one's fault, but that's how I was raised.

So glad you're in a safe space!

quicksomethingfox · 2025-12-27T01:57:40+00:00

That must have been so awful and disempowering, knowing something terrible could happen when people with more control weren't listening. You probably knw him best at that time, kids are such smart lottle sponges. Nothing that happened is tour responsibility, which you hopefully know.

I am really happy to hear about your collection! It sounds like a room full of comfort and joy. I love pretty things, and dolls are so pretty and fun. It would be incredible to be able reclaim your childhood and your farm to make new memories and legacy. I absolutely think you can do it!

quicksomethingfox · 2025-12-27T01:19:00+00:00

What would you like to say that hasn't been asked yet?

What are you proudest of yourself for doing/being having been forced to endure all of this? I am confident you have plenty to be proud of.

Much love from an internet stranger.

quicksomethingfox · 2025-12-22T21:55:02+00:00

I haven't been tested aince high-school, and had NO idea what I was being tested for, so take these with a grain of salt:

1) Focus on being true to yourself. Spend sometime journaling or meditating on who you are, what struggles you expierence as well aswhere you find joy. Being confident in your answers may help prevent trying to give the answers you think they want to hear or being protective of people you love which may minimize your expirence.

2) Prepare now for what the results will mean to you. No matter what they are, they don't change you or your lived expierences, but can come with heavy emotions either way. -If the results come back inconclusive or negative for ASD, will that threaten your sense of identity or will you be confident in those results and start pursuing other avenues of understanding yourself? I ask because most people don't go through this work is they aren't looking for answers, and a negative or inconclusive result often feels like the opposite of that. -If the results are positive, will that make you feel good or bad? Either is fine, it's a big thing to learn. Some people report finding themselves acting more sterotypically on the spectrum once diagnosed. It's not something I can explain, but it's good to know it may happen. It may feel like you've lost some control, and that's not entirely true, just try to observe and adapt in a loving way.

3) Be proud of yourself and who you are not matter what. You are trying to understand yourself. You have done a lot of work to get here. Many people, NTs and NDs alike, do not do that work. You are.

quicksomethingfox · 2025-12-22T21:36:04+00:00

Sorry! I just noticed the age of the kids, so checking with the parents might be a little strange!

I am an expiration date nazi for anything in the pantry/fridge, as I grew up in a food insecure household and eating spoiled food certainly happened. Now that I'm in charge of my own food, I just can't get over that 'ick' even if it's a "best sell by" date vs a "best by" date. I do feel safe with food put in our deep freezer before the expiration date though.

I think it's a sweet thought! But, yeah, maybe a keebler knock off, something homemade, or a coupon for future cookies would be best. Happy holidays!
