Problem is, it sets up a nasty standard where we're expected to take a joke about us being gimps. It's nice and all, but a complicated thing

I know him! He goes to my university and came to one of my classes to speak about what it's like to have CP. Super cool guy.

He's gay. It should be DP, not CP.

I am disappointed by the community. Just because he isn disabled and gay they stop? It's a cool guy, okay, but it's not equal

How do you fall off stairs when you are crippled as fuck and cant walk?
PolkaNeverDies
It's possible to fall out of your wheelchair. Plus some people can walk a couple steps, even if they mostly need a wheelchair.

olegh
And then you feel worthless for feeling like a turd when people that are objectively worse off still seem to manage this "life"-thing better
A lesson I learnt when getting used to being disabled was that it's all relative. Don't feel bad about this. Your problems count.
If you break your arm in one place, and I break mine in two, that doesn't mean you loose the right to feel bad for yourself.

If you're going to post a pic for roasting, you need to ba able to laugh at yourself. The sign doesn't say "tell me I'm pretty".
I was reacting to the use of the word "considering". This guy doesn't appear emotionally or mentally crippled at all.
Obviously, but most people don't ever hold up the "roast me" sign for a reason. Everybody knows about it by now.

All I'm hearing from this is I'm going to get cancer for being a good person.

Genetics are a bitch. Also, chances are if you live a long life either organ failure or cancer will get you. Definitely goes for pets.
IsDisassembled
Fuck I'm basically expecting it with my family history.
Meh, cancer is super prevalent nowadays, something close to 1 in 3 will deal with it in one form or another, (not always deadly)...but...
...there's just something about mortality, it brings clarity to how we behave as humans, (for many, for some it just made them meaner).

Hardships are the sandpaper of life; it is rough, but it makes for a beautiful and refined finish.

On the flipside, many terrible people got that way because they had really shitty things happen to them in life.
shiftingillusion
Too true. But people don't want to think that deep. They just want to label you an asshole and ostracize you...
Yeah, but it's also important to remember that nothing excuses shitty behavior. You are, ultimately, always responsible for your actions.
Empathy requires sharpening but too much force will snap off the ability to feel for others. Too tortured of a metaphor?
Not at all. I've never heard that before and it's a beautiful way to describe it.
Thanks.

I can get jokes if I'm reading them, but I can't pick up on sarcasm or jokes irl
I have similar trouble, it's like I innately assume everyone is being straightforward with me.

Foxhack
So is... any sort of touch forbidden? (insert emoji with raised eyebrows here 'cause I'm too fucking lazy to look for it)
Emojis don't work here anyway.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'm okay with minimal contact, like high fives or poking, but I don't like people putting their arm around me or hugging me 1/2
And strangely enough, I'm okay with sex, at least while it's happening, but I get super uncomfortable and need to be alone afterwards. 2/2
Interesting. I was kinda like you, until I got to college and met some really touchy girls who liked to hug me for some reason. They 1/2
made me more used to being touched, though I still can't stand some people touching me at all. I suppose I was more 'cause of anxiety 2/3

I have a friend with mild autism. Doesn't affect him that much but sometimes we have to remind him his autism is showing 1/2
"Be careful, your autism is showing" kinda thing and he's fine with it for clarification 2/2
So am I. A lot of people get mad at my friends when they remind me that I'm shaking my hands in public or pinching myself, then I 1/2
Feel even worse because I want to confront that person and tell them that I appreciate my friends doing that because it helps. 2/3
But I am horrible at confronting people so I just say "it's okay"
I don't know you and will never meet you, but now I all I wanna do is poke you.
Poking is fine honestly, I'm used to that. But when someone puts an arm around me or wants to hug, I don't like that. High fives are cool.

I would be uncomfortable if a stranger wanted to hug me too.

Hey! High functioning bipolarism here! Hooray for functioning!

High-functioning ASD AND type-2 bipolar here. Did you guys fusion-ha or something?
It's definitely a reason i have a good sense of humor?
flamingflamingo
what's all this 'high functioning' crap? i feel like that's just code word for "self diagnosed disorders"
High functioning as in I can function in society without needing constant care, and I can "fake it". But, as my coworkers have put, 1/2
When I don't have my work/customer service personality going, I am told there's something very "off" about me.
iloveserotonin
It's not.
High-functioning as in able to express as neurotypical, for the most part. Given enough or particular stressors, I can and will regress 1/2
I know what it means. I have a friend who's high functioning autistic. But I've been hearing introverts self describe with it for years.
back to innate behaviours instead of the learned ones I use in day to day life. And no, I am not self-diagnosed, I was diagnosed as both 2/3

Yeah, as someone with ADD: I'm the first to make joke. Fuck, I bought a god damn shirt with a pun about it! (They say I have ADHD, they 1/
don't understa-... Oh look. A squirrel!) (I have ADD not ADHD but I have squirrels so it fitted too well XD.) Anyway: as someone with that2/
it hurts far more when they try to "protect" you and tell you "it's not a problem, it's an oportunity" (no you bitch, it's a fucking 3/
problem. I'd know. I didn't get diagnosed until multiple years into my bachelor and it had been fucking me over till then. It's a fucking 4/
issue and now that I know how medication works I know that without it I can't fucking think straight, it's that simple.) Really, just 5/

Its all 'ADHD' now, you'd just be 'inattentive type' :)
Oh, cool! Then the shirt's accurate. Thanks for the info, I'm not very up-to-date on classification.

Yeah there are 3 dsm dx types: ADHD predominantly inattentive, ADHD predominantly hyperactive/impulsive, and ADHD combined type.

May be a broad question, but what is it like? That is, how does your condition affect you day to day in general? Honestly curious.
squishofdoom
I have Aspergers, which is high-functioning autism. Everything is black and white, good or bad, yes or no. No inbetween. (1)
Most people have their one thing that they obsess over; for me, it's video games, and by extension computers. (2)
I also obsess over one game at a time, playing it to death for days on end, until i beat it or get sick of it. Then i move on to another.(3)
I dont understand social customs, instinctive things like smiling, or nodding your head, or body language. I had to learn it and fake it.(4)
adcunicorn
Do a post about it, a lot of ppl would probably be interested ^^
That's actually a good idea. I have a feeling that (even with myself) there's a ton of misinformation we assume to be true.
crispygrapes
No we wouldn't.
Didn't know we had a fucking imgur king who speaks for everyone on this site.
I'm kind of against doing that. I'm not an activist, I'm not passionate or let it define me. Now a post about what music means to me. Yes.
Raithlyn
Are... are you me?
Music? What kind? My brother's an amazing musician, who happens to be on the spectrum. It's rare to find someone who does both.
I like pop punk, metalcore, djent, and whatever you would classify Thrice as. I love Thrice. Unhealthy obsession. I have a tattoo.
Tbh. I am just really curious about all neurological problems since it affects everything, I'd love to see any kind of story,opinion etc.
At least for me, I have no experience being anything other than me. So I'm not sure what all is different, until someone tells me.

When my son was going through the diagnosis process, I recognized so much of myself in it. I desperately want to "want" to snuggle my kids

and partner. It is frustrating for me; is it for you?
ImGonnaRickRollYou
I have to force it. Best girlfriend I ever had, we would sit on separate couches and play video games. I can sleep whenever I have to 1/2

Sleep in a bed with a girl. I just want to leave and I sweat.

I have a friend with mild autism. Doesn't affect him that much but sometimes we have to remind him his autism is showing 1/2
TakeMeToFrontPageAndBackFiveTimesADay
"Be careful, your autism is showing" kinda thing and he's fine with it for clarification 2/2
ImGonnaRickRollYou
So am I. A lot of people get mad at my friends when they remind me that I'm shaking my hands in public or pinching myself, then I 1/2
ImGonnaRickRollYou
Feel even worse because I want to confront that person and tell them that I appreciate my friends doing that because it helps. 2/3
ImGonnaRickRollYou
But I am horrible at confronting people so I just say "it's okay"

I don't know you and will never meet you, but now I all I wanna do is poke you.
ImGonnaRickRollYou
Poking is fine honestly, I'm used to that. But when someone puts an arm around me or wants to hug, I don't like that. High fives are cool.
KaitlynTheSeaDragon
I would be uncomfortable if a stranger wanted to hug me too.

Hey! High functioning bipolarism here! Hooray for functioning!
LunaLuscus
High-functioning ASD AND type-2 bipolar here. Did you guys fusion-ha or something?
phiandpiexplaineverything
It's definitely a reason i have a good sense of humor?
flamingflamingo
what's all this 'high functioning' crap? i feel like that's just code word for "self diagnosed disorders"
ImGonnaRickRollYou
High functioning as in I can function in society without needing constant care, and I can "fake it". But, as my coworkers have put, 1/2
ImGonnaRickRollYou
When I don't have my work/customer service personality going, I am told there's something very "off" about me.
iloveserotonin
It's not.
LunaLuscus
High-functioning as in able to express as neurotypical, for the most part. Given enough or particular stressors, I can and will regress 1/2
flamingflamingo
I know what it means. I have a friend who's high functioning autistic. But I've been hearing introverts self describe with it for years.
LunaLuscus
back to innate behaviours instead of the learned ones I use in day to day life. And no, I am not self-diagnosed, I was diagnosed as both 2/3

I got a joke for you, what did the French waiter say to the autistic man? He said "Can I take your order?"

Wrong: French waiters speak in French #smarts

not if they're working in English speaking countries.

Yeah, as someone with ADD: I'm the first to make joke. Fuck, I bought a god damn shirt with a pun about it! (They say I have ADHD, they 1/
RealFuckinNito
don't understa-... Oh look. A squirrel!) (I have ADD not ADHD but I have squirrels so it fitted too well XD.) Anyway: as someone with that2/
RealFuckinNito
it hurts far more when they try to "protect" you and tell you "it's not a problem, it's an oportunity" (no you bitch, it's a fucking 3/
RealFuckinNito
problem. I'd know. I didn't get diagnosed until multiple years into my bachelor and it had been fucking me over till then. It's a fucking 4/
RealFuckinNito
issue and now that I know how medication works I know that without it I can't fucking think straight, it's that simple.) Really, just 5/
quicktrickbrickstack
Its all 'ADHD' now, you'd just be 'inattentive type' :)
RealFuckinNito
Oh, cool! Then the shirt's accurate. Thanks for the info, I'm not very up-to-date on classification.
MrRemy
Yeah there are 3 dsm dx types: ADHD predominantly inattentive, ADHD predominantly hyperactive/impulsive, and ADHD combined type.

May be a broad question, but what is it like? That is, how does your condition affect you day to day in general? Honestly curious.
squishofdoom
I have Aspergers, which is high-functioning autism. Everything is black and white, good or bad, yes or no. No inbetween. (1)
squishofdoom
Most people have their one thing that they obsess over; for me, it's video games, and by extension computers. (2)
squishofdoom
I also obsess over one game at a time, playing it to death for days on end, until i beat it or get sick of it. Then i move on to another.(3)
squishofdoom
I dont understand social customs, instinctive things like smiling, or nodding your head, or body language. I had to learn it and fake it.(4)
adcunicorn
Do a post about it, a lot of ppl would probably be interested ^^
fuckyouandyourwittyusername
That's actually a good idea. I have a feeling that (even with myself) there's a ton of misinformation we assume to be true.
crispygrapes
No we wouldn't.
adcunicorn
Didn't know we had a fucking imgur king who speaks for everyone on this site.
ImGonnaRickRollYou
I'm kind of against doing that. I'm not an activist, I'm not passionate or let it define me. Now a post about what music means to me. Yes.
Raithlyn
Are... are you me?
PolkaNeverDies
Music? What kind? My brother's an amazing musician, who happens to be on the spectrum. It's rare to find someone who does both.
ImGonnaRickRollYou
I like pop punk, metalcore, djent, and whatever you would classify Thrice as. I love Thrice. Unhealthy obsession. I have a tattoo.
adcunicorn
Tbh. I am just really curious about all neurological problems since it affects everything, I'd love to see any kind of story,opinion etc.
Raithlyn
At least for me, I have no experience being anything other than me. So I'm not sure what all is different, until someone tells me.
ImGonnaRickRollYou
^ That.
LameclestheLame
Yeah, it's not like our autism senses are tingling :/
