  • As a parent of two kids on the spectrum my messaging has been just this with a resounding “there are legions of autistic people that are NOT represented. Ever.”

    Every representation of autistic people you see in the media, or chatting with online are the exception and the fact that they collectively shit on the fact that there are many isolated and struggling is goddamn frustrating.

    If you’re autistic and on Lemmy I’m proud of you. My youngest son can’t manage his own diabetes, can’t wipe his ass, needs help showering, has worsening anxiety and ADHD. I could go on.

    As a parent I’m supposed to defer to that representation in the media or on Lemmy because “they’re autistic bro.” disgusts me.

    My final takeaway. Fuck the DSM V for making Asperger’s the same as Autism. It isn’t. It hurts both parties but I’d argue it hurts Autistic people far more than Asperger’s people.

    Why are you so horny to paint a brush that all landlords are evil and “eat the rich”?

    What I’m horny for is understanding that situations may be complex and idiots willing to espouse a novel are probably the ones that might have the issue lol

    Edit - and it wasn’t her house ya dillhole but of course that would involve actual willingness to understand the situation. She moved in prior to me buying the house.



  • I rent out my basement at well under market value to an older lady that was in the house when I bought it.

    I understand the post was made as a generalization but some landlords aren’t bad and some situations are better than the alternatives.

    Would you rather I kick out my tenant and god knows where she would live or maybe she becomes homeless?
