How has lack of education affected your experience with autism?
  • I had a similar experience and I dropped out of high school at 14 for a GED because I couldn't handle it another day. And then college at 22. And then another university at 31. Now I still struggle with the most basic things because I'm only just figuring out why I didn't get to learn how to deal with trying to exist growing up. It's very hard and as an adult there's even less help. I'm very lucky to have an understanding partner and a good therapist because I have no other friends or family and I spiral often. If only someone had told me as a kid, I can't say I'd be that much different now, but at least I wouldn't be spending so much energy on trying to figure out what all went wrong back then and maybe I'd have some skills that makes functioning or communicating a little easier.

  • The internet is great again, thanks to all of you 🙂
  • I guess I'm older but I feel like it ruins it. The context matters most and I'd rather add context than a tag if I have to. Part of the joke is people missing the context when it's obvious to others. I'm not sure there's much point in sarcasm if you're spelling it out.

  • Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?
  • I'll stop reddit on my phone entirely when rif dies and I'll only do the occasional checking of a couple of subs on old.reddit after that. Right now I'm there just long enough to remember how bad it has gotten and then I come back here for immediate relief.
