I stopped by a post office to drop off a package. The guy scans and says.
"Oh theres an extra fee now over the hollidays."
I'm confused but ask.
"Oh how much." And he just starts laughing.
"Omg you belived me?!! Haha you're so cute and gullible. You can't just trust strangers!"
God I hate jok
I just had a phone call (scary, I know) to set up an appointment with someone to get assessed. They said a psychologist would be best. It’s happening soon and I’m nervous. I don’t care if I get diagnosed or not I’m just scared because I’ve heard horror stories of people with super ignorant and old s
Greetings, fellow autistics of reddit.
I'm 17 and I live in the UK. I'm in y12 and I'm autistic & ADHD.
A few years ago, I started a Neurodiversity club with my friends and the SENco of my school (who is my actual queen), basically just as a place for the younger students to come in and talk about
Me and my friend are both AuDHD but in a very conflicting way. When I start telling them about something, I feel a compulsion to say it in full from beginning to end while including as many relevant details as possible. My friend's similar in the sense that they compulsively spend just as long telli
Hey everyone,
Just started a new job this week after 8 months of sick leave. Left my previous employer after a really rough time – discrimination, being pushed out despite solid performance, and having my basic rights ignored. Finally got out, landed a step-up role in leadership.
Objectively the n
Both me and my mom believe I have anemia. I’ve done some research and I believe I am low in iron. I don’t have many foods I dislike and my favorite foods are vegetables and fruits

It's not really the review itself I'm upset about and moreso the comments on it. I don't like how people describe people who enjoyed this movie as manchildren. I understand the movie has its flaws but you can criticize a
My wife took the RADS test with her therapist and scored very high, but is needing to get an official diagnosis. The problem is.. she does not talk to new people especially doctors, and absolutely does not do video visits. (We have a medical POA is I can speak with her doctors) My question is… is it
My partner (late twenties) was diagnosed a few years ago.
Back when I knew him as a friend before we started dating, he used to withdraw every now and then for a few months. I used to assume he was just busy, but then he later told me that he goes through periods of low lows when he just disappear
Yeah so I'm getting close to my forties and meeting people organically just has not been working. I can get some casual fun but nothing serious long-term and I'm hoping to change that before I get too old and ugly.
Any tips? I'm not too bad physically, I can kick over my head but my social credit
I (diagnosed autistic) suspect I may have been misdiagnosed. I’m unsure of the diagnosis and spiraling. My family does not think I have any personality disorder. I have mental health issues, I know that, I’m just unsure I meet criteria for any personality disorder. My therapist is telling me that it

While Three Days Grace does not have a song explicitly written about autism, many listeners in the neurodivergent community find that "Animal I Have Become" resonates deeply with the experience of nonverbal or nonspeaking people, particularly regarding sensory overstimulation and the frustration of
This one goes out to my son.
You. are. not. invisible.
I see you growing every day,
I see you learning everyday,
I see your struggles and your successes,
I love how you paint and how you play piano.
I love how you smile and how you brighten up my day.
Because of you, I can see the world in
Hi! I'm writing this through a translator, and I hope it's clear what I'm saying. I have self-diagnosed autism, but I have a lot of symptoms, especially since I was two years old. I've read a lot about autism, including autism in women. I've also visited a psychiatrist about this, but we only talke
19M and o guess we all struggle with making friends. I just have this constant need for validation, people talking to me and having loads of friends but I never put in the effort.
I’ve got a ND friend group and one friend here one there but that’s it pretty much.
I’d love to learn how to make mo

So I’m in high school and if you know how high schools are you know that you might be targeted/bullied if you wear ear defenders. Since I have high functioning autism most people don’t realize it so they would make fun of me so getting to the point how might you conceal ear defenders. Btw my school
Serving in the military with an autistic child raises a lot of unique problems, but there are a lot of resources available. Just wanted to spotlight this sometimes overlooked community.
My 19 month old hasn’t started walking, started coming up holding furniture since a month. He never really crawled, bum scooting since 11 month old and do this really fast. He was late to sit on his own from lying too around 11 months. Yesterday got on couch for the first time. He can’t walk and is
Are you guys similar to me on this point?
I recently showed to some friends and later to my mother one of my most intense interest because they asked me to and it made me very uncomfortable.
It’s like this a huge part of myself they never saw and I suddenly have to share that very intimate passion

I’ve never been in a relationship, and I’m scared of something that feels ugly to admit. I’m afraid that if I fall in love and get married, I won’t be able to handle my partner aging and becoming less physically attractive.

A young autistic man was once told he would never develop past a certain level. Today, he’s a published novelist.
But his story isn’t just about what’s possible. It raises a bigger question that I don’t think gets talked about enough:

Hi!
I'm new to all this, I've been diagnosed a week ago. I wanna ask you something about relationship. Everytime I have a new relationship, I begin to test a partner.
What does it mean?
He/she say something and I answer in angry way, I'm mean without any other reason. Other situation: I said to

“It’s just a joke” I KNOW! I genuinely know, when it’s with people I know, when they joke. But that doesn’t mean I like it. Specifically rude jokes. I don’t have to like it!
However, aside from rude jokes, I was told that i take things too seriously. Like it could be a regular ass conversation and
Hello fellow humans,
As the title reads, I am a male human in my late 30s and have recently been diagnosed with what i am told is level 1 ASD, I was also told there were just a couple of exceptions that kept it from being level 2. I as well have ADHD and substance abuse disorder (in remission).

If anyone saw a post from me an hour ago, I deleted it since I realized it wasn't productive at all and I realize in hindsight I was ultimately mourning that I didn't get the optimal outcome that I wanted when I was younger. That detail is important and will briefly come up here, but it won't be an
I know some people don’t like this show for various reasons but I enjoy it. On the other hand it’s makes me upset often. It seems a lot of the people on the show who have autism come from loving supportive families who adore their kids. I’m level 2 and I had to find out I was autistic myself. This s
Its a thought that I had today.
Maybe its just because I'm jaded and depressed but I've lost the point of media. Like at least back in the day watching the "hot" series on TV guaranteed that most other people had seen the most recent episode and you could talk about it. I think the last cultural
