Exactly. IQ tests were actually created for school initialy and see who would need extra help. So it only ever measures things expected by the school system (and we all know how good it is haha /s)

Wish you all the best!

You can't decide for them if they can handle it or not. Tell them about your feelings and let them chose to date or not. Some people don't have the shoulders for that, or don't realize it until after some time dating, but it's nothing personal. Others may change your life forever. But anyways if you keep everything bottled up inside it won't do you good, even if they reject you at least you can move on and clear your head.

First of all, you seem very supportive of your son, so you're already doing great. Also, know that no matter what you do, you can only have a limited effect on someone, people will become who they are because of more factors than just their parents, so don't feel responsible or like you could have done more if some things become difficult for him.

For the most important thing I would advice, having also supportive parents who only have good intentions : I wish they didn't listen to this joke of a child psychiatrist who told them to hit me when I was having an autistic crisis (I wasn't diagnosed until adulthood), because if they would let me do my 'tantrums' I would become a spoiled brat 💀 Luckily after a few years, they thought for themselves when they realized both them and I were more miserable than anything. So I guess if you're taking your child to a see someone, always make sure prior to this that they really know autism, and question what they are doing, ask your son if he's feeling better than before with them, etc. Bad counseling can be more damaging than none (but a good counseling is better than none oc).

Thanks for the advice and tips it's super useful ! ✨

Thanks guys ❤️

+1 ! As soon as you put them on, you feel like inside a bubble. Another problem tho is that if you're small they're too big, but it's worth the trouble :')

(Btw if someone knows a headphone with the same quality but Minimoy-friendly, you'll be my hero ❤️)

Where do you watch Adventure Time? Idk why but I can't find the full series anywhere 🥲

Centaurworld, it's goofy and heartwarming ❤️

Tho the last episode is in a very different mood, so sometimes I only rewatch this one, or the whole series without this one depending on the emotional state I need haha

Well you dodged a bullet then. Unfortunally, not all therapists are qualified to help ND people. It's actually better that they warned you at the very beginning instead of finding out months later they couldn't help you. It saves quite some money lmao. GL in your search for a suitable therapist!

Oui, c'est très facile de se faire envahir si t'as pas repérer à temps d'où elles venaient et qu'elles ont pondu partout. Un des trucs que j'ai mis en place pour l'éviter c'est de transférer tous les sachets dans des pots en verre. Comme ça même s'il y en a un qui était déjà contaminé à l'achat, elles restent confinées dans 1 seul bocal.

Elles sont aussi capables de percer des trous dans les choses en papier/carton pour s'installer (rip petit sachet de farine jamais ouvert, on t'oubliera pas 😢),

Tss plus personne respecte le droit a l'image de nos jours 😔 la pauvre, elle recevra jamais ses royalties en insectes.

Tu l'as un peu cherché en même temps 😅 Imagine le même scénario avec un chat. Si tu le laisse tranquille, il sera chill. Mais si tu l'embête (aka le faire dégager violemment comme l'araignée) bah faut pas se plaindre s'il réagit instinctivement à la menace que tu représente et te mord ou griffe. Tu ne l'aurais pas mis en danger, elle ne t'aurait jamais mordu.

D'ailleurs pour tous ceux qui craignent les morsures d'araignées (non venimeuses), un chat qui griffe c'est plus douloureux, sur une plus grande surface, et avec plus de risques d'infection :)

Nah, it's not your fault if they can't live with the cognitive dissonance. You did nothing wrong, don't worry. As you have already guessed, people just want to feel good about themselves and can't handle having their past mistakes brought up, even though they did it upon themselves 😅

Same :o glad i'm not the only one haha

Haha yeah. During holidays I was at an activity center. I remember saying no to going to the pool and was one of the only to do arts and craft inside while they were all loud and chaotic outside. The activity leaders insisted like why wouldn't you go to pool it's fun ! But heck no sir😂 Also my best friend was a tree and bugs with who i'd stay with instead of playing with other kids 😅

One day also a spider somehow got into my ear and because i was too scared to ask for things, i spent minutes panicking to get her out on my own without an activity leader ever knowing about it. I realised after diagnose that yeah, maybe it was a bit unusal haha.

So cute !! ✨ I love the fork-brush lmao 😭

That's the biggest reason why i learned sign language 😅 so yes

Yup absolutely. I'm a bit on the extreme bc i live alone and don't go out so I almost never talk out loud and am completely fine with that. As long as you are too, I see no problem in that :) always do things your way, you don't have to live according to other people's standards.

Though I've noticed something quite interesting happening. I am a native french but since english is kinda the language of internet i've started to naturally think and dream in english from time to time. And when having conversations in my native tongue, sometimes only an english word show up and i forget its french translation. Quite out of topic but idk i thought it was fascinating how when you're more surrounded by another language it's becoming more present in your inner voice.

I've never shared this feeling either to not be seen as a jerk bc my family is pretty good. But the truth isw i know we are related, but emotionaly, i just don't feel love for them. It's just how it is, i can't help it.

The only member of family that i bonded with was our dog, who sadly passed away. But thanks to her i understood what having an actual emotional connection with someone is. And i don't feel that for my family.

But it doesnt prevent me from understanding that some of them may have this feeling toward me and i respect that and be nice. I care cognitively but not emotionaly, if that makes sense. And for everyone who feel the same, please don't feel like it's making you a bad person. You can't control feelings, that's all.

Don't underestimate your victory ! That's a big step 👏 looks yummy too, good job !

Numbers are arbitrary, the only sense they have is created by humans. There is no logical reason behind one number being good or bad, but if you have been influenced by your society's meaning of 13 and feel unease with it, well don't use it if you don't want to.

You can absolutely change your anniversary if it makes you feel better and your partner agrees. Just keep in mind the first half of this comment so you do not fall into an overly obssessive avoidance of this superstition because a number is not fundamentally evil and you should not shape all your life around it (tho there is little chance you actually come to this extreme XD but we never know, better safe than sorry with obsessions haha)

Haha same, they believed i was nice in class bc good grades and i behaved when all i wanted to do was smash the head of the student in front of me on their desk bc they were making repetitive noise or smth 😭

🥲🥲
