| 42516 | Asperger's | I haven't really talked about it a lot, but yes, I am also somebody on the autism spectrum. I was diagnosed since I was at the age of two. It's something I generally kept hidden from the world, and I try to pass off a "neurotypical" to others. But as life went on, and became more open about having autism, I learned that it's better to be open about it, then to sweep it under the rug and pretend that it doesn't exist. Yes, I may get people stereotyping me, and think that I'm somebody who likes to follow Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction, get off to closing logos, or compare me to Chris Chan. But I'd rather have that, then to pretend I'm not on the spectrum.<br><br>That's not to say it doesn't set me back in any way. It has definitely affected my social life. I always struggled with making friends. I have a few, but I was left in an isolating environment for a long time where I lived in an apartment in a city where I didn't know anybody at all. Throughout the eight years I lived there, I didn't make a single friend. Granted, the fortunes for that changed during the final year I lived there, and there was a group of people I hung out with. But by then, it was too late. My grandfather, who owned the apartment where I lived, no longer wanted me to live there, and, long story short, I moved back to the town I lived in previously. Still live independently, I'm still not living with my mom anymore, nor would I ever want to move back, due to how much she's been on a mental decline that makes her unbearable for anyone to put up with. Plus, going eight years without making new friends in a city I moved to was absolutely unacceptable in my eyes. If I want to grow as a person, I have to do better than that, and living almost a decade without any new friendships is doing a huge disservice in my eyes.<div><br></div><div>It's also because of my autism that I think I'm never going to be in a relationship. Yes, I know people would go around making remarks about how I'm still a virgin at 28, and yes, I do know for a fact that people who are virgins in their 20s have serious psychological issues, which honestly, I probably do. But it's a fact: the majority of people with autism don't date. It's not that they don't want to date, although there's probably some that really don't, but in most cases, they literally can't. There's been actual studies that have shown that 90% of people on the autism spectrum never get married. And I was recently on a private Facebook group run by a fake dating coach who claims to be the world's best dating coach for people with neurodiversities, and he turned out to be a scam artist trying to take advantage of one of the biggest vulnerabilities to people on the spectrum. I was going to make it a goal to learn to accept that I'm never going to date and get married, but since I moved back to my old town, I decided to give myself another chance. Granted, I'm more than likely not going to get anywhere for those of you who probably think I'm too delusional to think I will. But one can dream, right? </div> | blueluigi | Apr 09, 2019 |  |
| 42515 | Wrestlemania | 35 was definitely a let down this year. It had some good energy at the beginning, but they saved literally all the poor matches for the end.<div><br></div><div>On the bright side, I only got the winner of two matches wrong. This has been my best prediction card yet.</div> | Rick Ace Rhodes | Apr 09, 2019 | |
