There is a frustratingly high percentage of posts on here of quite common experiences that are claimed as "autistic" experiences.
Angryhumanoid The autistic experience of being told the thing that happens to you and that feels especially bad or frustrating is normal, so STFU about it. As if finding shit everyone around you sees as normal insufferable isn't part of the autistic experience.
Are you seriously upset that nonautistic people have a similar negative experience as autistic people? What a wild thing to be angry about, autism or not
lostcarcosan@lemmy.today No. I'm not upset at all. Why do you choose to read my comment as I were? I thumbed my nose at someone who dripped in with nothing to contribute other than being a jerkass prick, but that's different from being upset.
Are you supporting the little whiny one?
