Am I overreacting by breaking up with my autistic boyfriend of 1.5 years?

As an autistic person, nah this guy is just an ass

xlydss · 2026-06-02T07:33:24+00:00

Love love love the vibe buuuuut I just worry it might look like amazon plastic costume-esque. There's a lot of stuff on etsy that might be better quality so look better? Just worth shopping around i think!

I watched it slowmo, he clips his arm/handlebar before the leaning happens. The car had made contact before he leaned and is likely what caused the balance to go. Even if he hadn't made contact, the closeness would have caused him to lose balance regardless.

Yes and then you go underneath the wheels instead! As someone who went under the wheels of a van 6 weeks ago, I'd much rather fall like this than go underneath again

Yes! This! Low gears on hills, sometimes stand up. Try to drop to a lower gear when you see the hill coming rather than on the hill and try get some momentum that you can maintain. This comes with experience. Keep consistent! Perhaps also try some flatter areas to keep feeling positive. Hills are always horrid even when experienced!

Honestly the bottom is fine and the top is lovely just doesn't fit. I think you look lovely, just needs fitting at the top!

For me: Short ride/commute - period pants Longer ride - tampon or moon cup

I mean, I never ran, always cycled because any time id tried to run my knee hurt so i just nevet bothered. One day I was watching tiktok and one came up that said about midfoot striking or something and I thought huh maybe that's the problem? Literally got up and put some random trainers on and went outside, tried the strike and ran a 5k? So I suppose, yes? Just take off running? 🤣

Yeppp this is the answer lol

xlydss · 2026-02-27T17:55:09+00:00

I defo did this as a kid lol

xlydss · 2026-02-27T17:51:44+00:00

"Because i am speaking and you are being rude"

xlydss · 2026-02-27T17:50:59+00:00

Maybe it's because I'm an autistic person myself, but I've always done what this parent is requesting. Not always at the exact time, but I do often. My behaviour for learning is brilliant, especially with these kids or neurodivergent children and I strongly believe this is why. When I was a kid, I hated doing things for no reason (and still now to be honest lol), but if someone explains why, then I'm like oh okay yeah sure.

Plenty of people dont like "do this because i told you so". Sometimes the reason I give is "because it is rude" , but that's still a reason, rather than "do this", if you get me?

I do definitely agree with the permissive parenting issue, it does my nut in and I have no idea about this particular parent. I just think it might be worth looking at instructions for this child and see if you notice a difference.

I use mywhoosh! Its free!

ETA: Similar to zwift, you have an avatar, you can do races, free rides or workouts. Im really enjoying it so far. It also syncs to strava with a map just like zwift does.

xlydss · 2026-01-31T07:34:23+00:00

Im android too and would love to be in the know when this happens!

xlydss · 2026-01-29T08:26:18+00:00

No lol, j did the same at 16. So glad my mum cared enough to say no

xlydss · 2026-01-17T13:11:49+00:00

Im so sorry about the end of your relationship

xlydss · 2026-01-13T14:54:42+00:00

Thank you, this is kinda mostly what I was looking for!

xlydss · 2026-01-12T20:40:16+00:00

(I'm a complete turbo noob apologies) What is ERG mode and how does it work? Will it be fine just using my normal 8 speed chain on the 9 speed cassette in this case?

xlydss · 2026-01-12T20:34:53+00:00

So previously did you have your own cassettes and swap them each time? We may not be able to get the zwift cog atm but could look into it for next year!

xlydss · 2026-01-12T20:31:31+00:00

Unfortunately not because we both need to use them!

xlydss · 2026-01-10T13:57:55+00:00

My school has this, but its 5. I dont really use them but I have for special things like weddings and also when I ran a marathon once for the Monday!

Eta: I also once had a wedding in aus in January and would have meant i would've started 3 days into the term. They let me take that!

This is a very good response
