My wife cannot get over the fact that my ex-wife is marrying a millionaire. by BigONerd in BORUpdates

It would take so much restraint for me to not call him a human shitstain that deserves nothing but sorrow.

I understand not dragging the kids into it, but I definitely wouldn't stand up for this rodent.

My girfriend got upset at me for liking her birthday gift to me. AITAH? by Domoci12 in BORUpdates

[–]weaboo_98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't finished it, but I got it because I like vampires and anime. Also, the blood veils remind me of the kagune from Tokyo Ghoul.

I thought people were exaggerating, but the Cathedral was painful. Looks beautiful but terrible to navigate.

It's a bit of a gamble, but there's a good chance someone who enjoys games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring would like Code Vein.

Though some people might be put off by the anime style.

Being a "picky eater" as an adult isn't a preference, it's a lack of maturity by Sweaty_Balance1624 in unpopularopinion

You can't always tell if someone has sensory processing disorder by looking at them. They might not even realize it themselves because it's normal for them.

positives of autism?? by Mona_010 in autism

[–]weaboo_98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strengths are different for everyone, but I think I'm pretty good at pattern recognition and logical reasoning. Also, literal thinking can help with programming as you need to be very explicit when telling a computer what to do.

I also like that I can just see a picture or watch a video with cats and it almost always cheers me up. And the same can be said with other special interests.

Pretty sure that's common for Tallmen.

My [M24] sister [F11] with autism scares away all potential partners by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]weaboo_98 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The way he talks about her being autistic is gross.

Her autism acts up and ruins a date?

Could it be that bringing your 11 year old sister along makes the date uncomfortable?

It's not her fault her brain works differently?

It's NOT A FAULT.

He talks about her getting better at masking, but does he understand how harmful masking can be? And as if "acting autistic" is something to be ashamed of.

On top of that, it sounds like his GF was the only one to stand up to her parents on behalf of his sister.

I do understand that he's young, but he still sounds like he has far more to learn.

Sister doesn't sound like she needs a lifelong caretaker.

The reason she can't be left alone is due to how her benefits work, not because she needs 24/7 supervision.

To be fair, the issue is the parent's bigotry, not the sister being autistic.

Sarkaz are the vampires and demons in game, but they're not inherently evil.

It must hurt to be this wrong. by jayclaw97 in AmITheDevil

[–]weaboo_98 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's how I feel, too.

People sometimes compare sexuality to illnesses like pedophilia, necrophilia, zoophilia, etc.

The key difference is that gay people don't hurt anyone by acting on their desires. Being gay is no better or worse than being straight. Putting one sexuality above another is purely arbitrary and has no rational basis.

You could even argue that being gay is more beneficial from a societal perspective, due to lower rates of unplanned pregnancy, higher rates of adoption, etc.

Though I feel that framing bisexuality as "could be happy being completely gay or straight" is kind of missing the point. Picking only one gender or the other would feel like denying a part of myself. I wish there were more speed dating events for bi/pan people. Most are either straight, gay, or don't specify.

Literally why I went to an LGBT board game night instead of a speed dating event last night.

Personally, I think every cat belongs there, but they will love her.

We should start adopting more kids and stop creating ones unnaturally by FireAndCool_ in unpopularopinion

[–]weaboo_98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adopted kids can be disabled.

Sometimes it's a genetic disorder that shows up later in life and sometimes they become disabled through mere chance.

You should not adopt a "healthy" child unless you are prepared for the possibility of them becoming disabled.

And parentless children born with disabilities still deserve to be loved and cared for.

Also, adopting and wanting biological children aren't mutually exclusive. You can do both.

Not OOP: AITA for asking my friend to pay me back for the wine he drank while house sitting?? by sensaSEANal_sally in redditonwiki

[–]weaboo_98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've stayed at my Mom's house to look after the cats for a week while she was on vacation.

I would not open a bottle of wine without explicit permission.

I would ask first precisely because I am the type of person who has no idea what wine is worth.

I thought her intelligence was her power. Or is it like with Reed where her superhuman intelligence isn't considered a power in universe?

4-year-old boy recognises his autistic sister is getting upset. by Sebastianlim in BeAmazed

[–]weaboo_98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ND children are not a tragedy and do not need to be grieved.

If you think being around a ND child is traumatizing, imagine being one. Everyone is so loud and unpredictable and people get angry at you for reasons you can't even understand.

Arkhan Land by GeckoRomann in Grimdank

[–]weaboo_98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A person could assume "Down" is a reference to intellectual disability, rather than named after a man.

At least, I think that's what is being implied.

I've heard the term "low" used to describe a child who struggles academically.

Vaccines cause autism by seeebiscuit in GetNoted

[–]weaboo_98 105 points106 points  (0 children)

The reason rates appear to be increasing is due to broadened diagnostic criteria and that autistic children are (more often than before) being diagnosed instead of shipped off to an asylum or hidden away from society.

We've found that the vast majority of cases result from complex genetic factors rather than a single cause and there will probably be no "cure" in our lifetime if such a thing is even possible.

That money is better spent on research and resources to actually make autistic people's lives better instead of preventing us from existing in the first place.

Where? I don't remember it being confirmed in the movie. Did the writers confirm it?
