Autism

I'm an Autistic 29 year old guy who can do everything normally, but I can really struggle with finding a job and keeping a job. Hearing what RFK Jr. had to say about the Autistic community, we need to show up on the streets to show that we can stand up on our own have our voices be heard loud and clear. The Trump admin wants to make it sound like they have good intentions for us, but that is not the case! We already live difficult lives fitting into society as we can do just about everything by ourselves but still be socially different. It's not supposed to be a curse, but it is. I didn't go for the April 5th or April 19th protests. I also feel left out not attending any of the BLM protests back in 2020 while all my other family members got to attend one. I live in Portland, a very politically active city.

Do you know any autistic/ND streamers who play and stream games? Can you share if you know?

Currently living with parents but I'd like to know how to become independent so I can fall back on that knowledge in future

If location is relevant, I live in Australia

Had a talk with my friend. He is going to try to be cleaner. So progress. My wife and I are not used to having people over too often and definitely not staying with us.

I have had about four hours of sleep. I have a house guest that is a slob. I have had to clean my coffee table four times now and put back in it's place. And vacuum things up twice. I love my friend but I'm starting to have meltdowns. I'm trying to hide them which I know just makes things worse.

Have to take my kitten to the vet to get neutered today. Feel so bad for him. He doesn't understand why he can't have food or water.

Honestly fuck Hink.

A few years ago it was okay. But ever since they removed unlimited likes and the ability to see when one was last online its just terrible. Not to mention the big ghosting going on.

Anyone have an alternative? I want to connect with more NDs :(

Howdy.

Anyone else watch Katelynn Partlow on YouTube? Pops up in my feed a lot. I like her. She is a YouTuber who is autistic and focuses on autism.

I just wanted to thank everyone for keeping this a welcoming and civil place.

I watch Late Night talk shows (Stephen Colbert, The Daily Show, Last Week Tonight) in the morning when I get up. I think this habit started when I was pirating the Daily Show back in 2006.

Hello All,

Hope you are all doing well despite the current circumstances of the world. Given that society is in a fair amount of turmoil, this is a great time to open up a discussion about the perception of others and how our autism shapes that view.

There have been times in my life where colleagues, friends, classmates/peers start off with an initally positive rapport that is unfortunately shredded at a later date. In the past, this has led to bullying in the workplace and strained interpersonal relationships. When there are other clearly neurodiverse individuals sharing the room with me, oftentimes crude comparisons are made to minimize both myself and the other person.

It's a bit confusing why this happens so often, but I'd imagine that when I get more comfortable, parts of the mask come off. Another guess would be that I may be socially blind to certain actions that may alter one's perception.

Wanted to see if any of you relate to this, as it would be a great discussion item to see how others feel. Wishing you all the best.

It is no longer Taco Tuesday.
