  • I thought it was weird that I still like watching classic TV shows, cartoons, kids shows and some anime as a adult until I found out it's quite common for adult autistics to do so. So once again I don't feel weird.

    My father who I am pretty sure is undiagnosed ASD1 does the exact same thing (and so do I). The last time I visited him, he gave me a 15 minute monologue on why Gunsmoke is OBJECTIVELY the best TV show ever and it is perfectly logical to watch its episodes on a loop for 30 years. Super endearing, really!

    I am the same way, and i don't care either way. Life is hard enough as it is and if something brings me joy i will keep doing it
    Two a company. Three a crowd. That is a lie. At least if I try to hang out a solo friend of the opposite gender. Now with a third person it does not matter the gender male or female. Once I did go out to lunch with two of my female friends. Even was invited in mostly girls group at church and home with other men.

    That's so cool! With me that saying rings true, as I was usually the odd one out

    I was always when I was younger. It finally feels great being accepted, especially by women. I hope the same happens to you.

    maybe one day!
    I'm always a nervous wreck when my friends have to fly somewhere thinking they might not come back which is quite often mainly because of their stupid jobs because there employers never think of a thing called VoIP and zoom exists in 2024 and it's not 2005 anymore.
    How can a site like quora be as toxic with profanities like reddit when it suppose to be a support site to ask questions? To make matters worse like reddit search engines like Google index it for support.
    My casual friend is going to now be my former friend after I sent the latest stupid trauma dump message to her about people smoking in the park bothers me every time I tried to read my Bible. It happened every time I try to read it.

    All is good. Once again I blew it out of proportion. She was so busy last night with her hectic job.i think she works at home a lot she had her phone on silent. I feel stupid as usual. But I still had to ask her a question about contacting another friend I know.

    Tony, that's good news. Now you have more evidence that the next time you feel this way, there may be no need to worry. And we have this info, too, so that we can remind you not to worry. ☺️

    I just read a quote on Facebook that said "We suffer more often in our imagination than in reality"
    Closing my reddit account how? Removing reddit from Google search results because I am sick of the profane results. The last straw was allowing one of the threads about autism to be uncensored and allowing a particular vulgarity in the usernames with even mods allowed to use it even in religions forums.
    PS. Also Quora which I also want to block is pretty profane for a site that supposedly asks questions.

    Doesn't sound very positive there

    It never is. I don't blame the users. I blame the lack of moderation which makes the users do whatever they want. Since the moderators can obviously curse too even in their user names then you know the users can be out of control. What pushes me over the edge is allowing in on the religious and spiritual reddits.

    I think if you don't have basic etiquette rules like no swearing it can lead.to other behaviour issues too. Give an inch people take a mile.

    Sounds like it's a younger user base over there maybe.. Web 2.0.. Web 1.0 is where it's at!
    My casual female friend was baptized today. I was there for her like she was for me. I even got her a gift which you know what it is that she is thankful and is going to read and keep close to her.
    I told my Thursday life group how thankful that we been together for two years and we have not left like other groups who stop attending. I made two of my female friends cry that they held back their tears.
    Lately my groups have been flaking with no shows except me and the leaders or cancelling all together. I am getting tired of it. Only the old people older than me seem to be commented to bother to show at yoga at least up but it's frustrated that the younger people don't care to commit to groups anymore.

    You have to accept that people's lives can get busy. Especially when work and family can so easily alter their intended schedules compared to those who aren't employed or are retired.
    How can so many people think traveling in a tube in the sky is safer then in the ground in an automobile? Makes no sense people have warped minds. Even boats are escapable.

    Why do I have a fear since I never fly and my friends fly all the time?

    Whenever a plane crashes, it is big news. You hear about it for months.

    A car crashes daily. You maybe get an article.
    Why does Reddit allow profanities out of control? I say okay if it was not for search engines pulling in queries for results from Reddit. Even innocent search results like weight loss will pull in profane results from Reddit. Thank goodness I have my APF and an Android device with Kiwi Browser.

    Also even there Christian forums allow the f word. Don't get me started on the constant porn on there which is too easy to find.

    Redditors suck

    No moderation is what sucks.
    What's up with YouTube lately recommending videos from women like health, self confident and even yoga which would be fine if it did not have profane constant titles It's getting real annoying playing wack a mole not recommended banishing and thumbs down the videos.

    There is another one that just greatly offended me, I did search for it.

    It was calming and everything then it showed a rude word that I hate to see or hear yes the actual word. I am getting tired of YouTube. The nasty only comment I read is mine. Be welcomed to leave and thumb down a negative comment to @thejuice it would be great and make me happy. YouTube is turning into Tiktok.

    That's very bad

    Thanks mods for removing it. I did not mean to offend others as it's very deceiving video.
    I will never in my life go back to academics and step into an physical classroom in my lifetime due to the trauma of being ostracized. If I ever went back it'll be virtual only at the comfort of my home.
    I finally understand what a platonic friendship is. Not what those dumb women or a standard Google search gives you that makes it out to be which is almost borderline romantic. Just a standard mutual friendship which I have with my female friend.

    Yes. You will experience a deeper friendship with the men in your church, so I encourage you to lean into that. The good news is that it is part of the Christian mandate that these same men help and support you. There is no worry about keeping up appropriate appearances.

    I have and I am doing that. Thanks. I am thankful to have friends of both genders whether we hang out solo in groups it doesn't matter.

    You may not feel this all the time, but you are an inspiration, Tony. I have worked with literal billionaires and they do not show the same kind of open attitude as you do.
    I now can't sleep thinking how girls treated me 28 years ago by ignoring me in college, walking away, talking to others and giving me dirty looks.

    Girls can be mean. I had a young girl stick her tongue out at me when l was very young, and l still remember it. I think we are very sensitive. We have to kinda get tougher.

    I remember a girl at a party came and said hi, i tried to talk but she just gave me a cringe then walked away lol. I left the party and played computer games instead 😂

    Don't start on the crap on the four girls asking me where the bathroom was at a Christmas party. This happened in my early 20s when I left the first church and backslided because of this. It is way back at the start of my post history.
    I wish I would have listened to the right advice that when a woman approaches you for a conversation she is only being nice. Not pursuing anything romantic, platonic or otherwise.

    When I go to cafe/ bar I'm trying to push past comfort zone and sit on the high stools near the bar and smile and nod at people. Instead of going to the corner with my phone or book. I'm also on the till at charity shop. Nerve wracking!

    That's great. I try to smile but when I am not happy it's harder and I don't most of the time.

    Yes I try to smile even though my brain is as flat as a pancake..
    Slowly telling everyone I trust I am autistic has been great as they all been saying that we love you, support you, welcome you, are not mad at you and won't leave you.

    Tony! This is a sign of healthy experimentation with emotional boundaries and I think you are going to keep on making progress.

    You're doing great. Congratulations! I bet it feels pretty good.
