  • This dude is reaching soooo hard to make it sound sinister. I thought it was just a cute lesson about the importance of vaccination. I don’t know what they were saying but it was pretty clear what the message was based on the animations. The kid was scared of the needle and wanted to skip it, but was shown a lesson about what germs can do and how important it is to have immunity. Then he decides to toughen up and get the shot. This is literally a good thing to show to children???





  • I’m in a similar situation and I don’t think I can mentally handle work, so I’m trying to convince my family to let me be a kind of house spouse or something (which I will also probably kinda suck at but at least I will be somewhat useful instead of just doing nothing and endlessly failing at being a wage slave?)

    It’s really amazing, I was “fine” (looking back:not really) all throughout school because I got such good grades, all the adults hyping me up making it sound like I’m gonna “go places”. I literally cannot function lol. I am perpetually burnt out all the time just from existing.

    If not for the pity and generosity of my mother, I would likely be homeless. I’m sorry, I wish I had advice. I read somewhere that 80% of autistic people are unemployed. Idk how accurate that is, but given how hard it is for us to keep up with the NTs, I wouldn’t be surprised.








  • Yeah I initially got a compsci degree (while very lib/not caring) thinking this will be the thing that is easiest to do while making a comfortable amount of money to survive (already hated capitalism before I knew what it was).

    Turns out it’s not even easy, it’s ridiculously competitive now. Then, as I learned more, I started to hate it. 90% of jobs here are either: Raytheon/Lockheed shit, or health insurance (let’s create a way to deny your claims with x% more efficiency!)

    That plus my significant issues (might be autistic or something) means I might just give up on work entirely.
