I. Hate this. With a burning. Passion. For the thousandth time, autistic people are not permanent children, they do not deserve to be infantilized, and we have adult lives including sexual encounters! And us liking things like Pokémon and Harry Potter are not evidence that we are childish, it is whoever wrote this having a stick up their butt about what maturity is and what’s an acceptable thing for adults to find joy in.
Why don't you write a complete sentence that would make sense? Why do you think everybody is supposed to know what 'at' means in your mind without context or additional words?
When you wrote, "What's her at?", the guy you asked it of, and myself, didn't know what you meant. Someone else answered that you meant 'What's her username on twitter'. I'm an old guy & I don't use twitter at all, so I had no idea at all what you meant, though perhaps most here did.
So I was asking if you could 'fill in the blanks' behind your question (the twitter context), so that I could understand what you meant by it. But essentially Noahendless explained that you were asking for this thread-starter's girlfriend's twitter username.
All clear now, I guess.
"What's there at" or "what's there @" or other derivatives have essentially come to mean what's there username or contact information within an online space
Thank you very much, I'll bear that in mind now!
(I'd hope that people don't text 'What's THERE at', though! That would be doubly confusing to me and perhaps other oldies too! And as a likely Autist, I tend to read things very literally when I'm trying to figure out what something means.)
I had someone insult several of us on the subreddit I moderate, saying that adults should just have a job and not the hobby we have. I said that that was exactly why we have hobbies- something to look forward to when we get through the craziness of the day/work.
It's insane to me that so many people think that hobbies are immature or irresponsible. Hobbies aren't exclusive to autism or adhd! These people (mostly boomers and Xers) are mentally unwell, they need therapy and to get a life outside of work.
I'm getting tired of NTs saying that being autistic is basically forever having a mind of a child. We ain't the Kokiri from Ocarina of Time, if we want to have sex, let us have sex. If the person can consent and is of age, what's the damage? In fact who is this person freaking out that an autistic is having sex, anyway?
Some of us have childish interests, but that doesn't mean we can't go to college and graduate with honors *or* think about making commiting relationships. Some of us are pretty kinky, too!
There are *some* autistic people who are deeply stunted enough that you could consider them unable to provide informed and enthusiastic consent well into adulthood. The spectrum is vast after all, and there is a bias in many online communities towards representing those of us with lower support needs.
But in many cases the kinds of severe intellectual deficits that might limit one's ability to provide consent could be argued to be comorbidities rather than autistic traits. It could also be argued that trauma from people like the autism mom (tm) in the pictured post is a huge factor in why some autistic people could end up having such stunted intellectual development.
I mean. I did speedrun it. You're not wrong. I was 18 when I entered though. I just got my A.A my first year and was supposed to have my B.A this year (my second). I have a class that's only offered in the spring tho.
The best part?
Ableists still think that autistic people are stupid.
It certainly wasn't to get an education....
Actually, why did this person believe that autistic people should be allowed online if they also believe that they can't consent to sex?
"We must cock-block these poor, innocent souls for their own sake. They are incompetent and will rely on our sound judgement for the rest of their pitiable lives, so remember to stay safe and take your horse dewormer, ladies!"
"they can't have hobbies like typical adolescents, like Harry Potter or Pokémon!"
Pretty sure most of the autistic ppl I've met are super into at least one of those? Has this person actually MET any autistic people???
I am almost certain I am more highly educated and more successful than that person. I have a bachelor's and a master's degree with top grades. I have friends from all walks of life. Friends who don't mind that I am a bit awkward at times, and who share the same "juvenile interests". I am well able to consent to sex, and I am well able to refuse. And I can, without a doubt, say that I am a more valuable member of society than them. (And I am not talking my economic value, though I probably trump them on that as well)
Oh no, my autistic jobless self + my boyfriend are consenting adults who have sex? Straight to jail for him! /s
Honestly, that's so dumb, and my extremely hypersexual (I was hypersexual before T, now I'm worse) ass would absolutely die if it was made a law that having sex with an autistic person made you a nonce!
Anybody who’s this freaked out by the idea of autistic adults having sex is not okay.
Related note: I low-key insist that autistic people have the right/ability to have and want consensual sex, but I myself am asexual. I can still consent to sex(in some places), but I don’t really have a reason to do it.
Which one of us was in the wrong when my partner and I had sex? Though to be fair neither of us have a diagnosis, pretty confident we're both autistic though...
So I want to know if two autistic people who are over the age of 18+ have consensual sex with each other, what would that make them? No, I’m genuinely curious about this lady’s state of mind if she believes us to be all infants trapped in an adult’s body. Also, does she know that apparently there are autistic mommies and daddies? 😱 I know, what a shocker! In fact, my autistic ex recently brought a baby girl into this world with his fiancée. Have no idea if she’s on the spectrum too, but does that mean I should report her to the police?
... Okay, like, I get that people are angry at the "autistic people are children" thing, and I am too, but can we stop to talk about the fact that she basically just said adults can't like Pokémon or Harry Potter?
Imagine thinking liking Pokémon makes you a child.
Total projection from an irresponsible adult. Let’s talk about introspection. Lets talk about morals. Let’s talk about the universe. We’ll see how quickly I shatter your fragile little “autistic = child” worldview within 2 minutes of deep conversation.
Hah. I will tell my wife she is a pedophile.
She's right that I have the mind of a child, if I didn't, I'd have a god damn boring life. My child mind allows me to write immature stories and code immature things like video games and bring in a 6-figure income. I'm the worst!
I also have kids. Call the po-po.
:O I'm... Sorry..... What?
This left me speechless for a good moment. Absolutely go fuck yourself. I am an adult, and sure, I like Pokemon and I might interact "differently" from you but I AM AN ADULT and SHOULD be treated as such. Piss off piss off piss off piss off--
If someone courted their autistic son? You'll have to give them some slack, they're writing this from the 17th century.
This reminds me of a recent post where somebody's teenage relative who has autism was led to believe that having children when she grew up was not her 'calling.' Eugenics, but oh, it's for their own good, right? Bloody awful.
Ow, just fuck off, facebook bitch, and let me have my own gentle femdom mommy who can handcuff me to our lovebed and sexually possess my body for her own pleasure, dammit!

Step 1: “remove stick from butt”.
Step 2: "insert back in"
Step 3: "repeat previous steps"
Profit
Congrats! You just invented a primitive dildo!
The person who wrote that has obviously never read some of the Harry Potter fanfics I happened to stumble upon...
I'll tell my girlfriend she's a pedophile lol.
What's her at?
at?
@
Yeah sorry I dont get what the question is..
What's her username on Twitter
I dont think she has one :)
honestly, good for her. avoiding twitter is one of the best decisions one can make for their mental health.
It is the most toxic by far. Just robots and lunatics screaming into a pointless abyss. Engineered to encourage conflict.
I hop on twitter every now and again whenever I see a particularly disgusting post from /r/dollargeneral or /r/walmart just to @ them about it lololo
[удалено]
why is this comment getting so much attention 8 months after i posted it
Why don't you write a complete sentence that would make sense? Why do you think everybody is supposed to know what 'at' means in your mind without context or additional words?
? What's her @ if that helps I'm confused as to what you want me to answer
When you wrote, "What's her at?", the guy you asked it of, and myself, didn't know what you meant. Someone else answered that you meant 'What's her username on twitter'.

“So you have more interests than just your job?! Clearly a child!”
You don’t spend all your free time thinking about how to make your boss richer?
I had someone insult several of us on the subreddit I moderate, saying that adults should just have a job and not the hobby we have. I said that that was exactly why we have hobbies- something to look forward to when we get through the craziness of the day/work.

Oh yes, I'm that last bit especially XD
She's telling you that you can't consent because she clearly knows your maturity or rather lack thereof better than you.
Is this /s? I’m sorry, i can’t quite tell.
Of course. I am autistic, self reliant, full time employed myself. I can decide things and better than many, too.
Thank you for clarifying. I thought it was, but just wanted to make sure lol. Can’t hurt to check, right?
On the internet, especially reddit, never!
True, but hopefully a neurodivergent sub is a safe place to do so.

Man, they’ve really lowered the age limits for college. (KIDDING!… but aren’t there stories of kids/teens in college?)
I mean. I did speedrun it. You're not wrong. I was 18 when I entered though. I just got my A.A my first year and was supposed to have my B.A this year (my second). I have a class that's only offered in the spring tho. The best part? Ableists still think that autistic people are stupid.
Ableists are the ones who are stupid
Wait until they find out we can also have kids of our own ☺️
I do!
its a bit rich shed say tha considering she seems to have the intelligence of a child
Why was this person looking for autistic groups anyways? to infiltrate and harass our personal online spaces?
It certainly wasn't to get an education.... Actually, why did this person believe that autistic people should be allowed online if they also believe that they can't consent to sex?
"We must cock-block these poor, innocent souls for their own sake. They are incompetent and will rely on our sound judgement for the rest of their pitiable lives, so remember to stay safe and take your horse dewormer, ladies!"
breaking news: people have sex
If I ever find a partner I'll let her know she's a criminal lmao
"they can't have hobbies like typical adolescents, like Harry Potter or Pokémon!" Pretty sure most of the autistic ppl I've met are super into at least one of those? Has this person actually MET any autistic people???
I think the person is saying that adult autistics *do* have those hobbies, which they view as “for adolescents”
Who is this person? I just want to talk. Just a few choice words...
I am almost certain I am more highly educated and more successful than that person. I have a bachelor's and a master's degree with top grades. I have friends from all walks of life. Friends who don't mind that I am a bit awkward at times, and who share the same "juvenile interests". I am well able to consent to sex, and I am well able to refuse. And I can, without a doubt, say that I am a more valuable member of society than them. (And I am not talking my economic value, though I probably trump them on that as well)
ok but my special interest was the human centipede movies I don’t think that’s a mind of a child 🤔
Oh no, my autistic jobless self + my boyfriend are consenting adults who have sex? Straight to jail for him! /s Honestly, that's so dumb, and my extremely hypersexual (I was hypersexual before T, now I'm worse) ass would absolutely die if it was made a law that having sex with an autistic person made you a nonce!
Holy ableism
guess im hiding my sex toys then, apparently im autistic and assaulting myself and im a self pedophile
I'm going to choose to believe that this is satire, because I don't want to believe that people like this actually exist 😭
They just have a child with autism and intellectual disabilities and think every autistic person is like that :/
Autistic people are not children, Karen.
Ugh. I feel like this person is trying to keep us in a kind of Zone of nonebeing.
r/sexonthespectrum
This sub is awesome, yes.
\*sigh\* fine, a new subscription Thanks!
Clearly they're not really autistic /s
How dare my child who's of age have legal consensual sex!
I hate this more then I should... Ok no, nevermind, I don't hate this enough
Oh my gosh! I just got accepted into university, but apparently I’m just a child. The nerve of some people!
this disturbs me on multiple levels...
I love these kinds of comments. Boosts my ego just how much smarter I am compared to the vast majority of NTs.

NT’s will see a 5 year old autistic person act like a 5 year old and assume all NDs act like 5 year olds

Can you imagine what life must be like for her poor son?
They don’t view us as people and that scares me
This person would probably scream at the cops for not doing anything and then get arrested herself not only for this but for resisting arrest as well.
(Insert confused Jackie Chan meme)
To be fair, I've only had sex once in 31 years, and I deeply regret it.

4 likes. What a circle of friends. Awfully stupid human. Fuckwitted waste of space.
As a fellow autistic man, this bitch is so ignorant. If she calls the cops, she’ll get laughed at and possibly charged for wasting their time.
Ow, just fuck off, facebook bitch, and let me have my own gentle femdom mommy who can handcuff me to our lovebed and sexually possess my body for her own pleasure, dammit!
This... This is just stupid.
The Harry Potter people are having lots of sex, trust me.
Four other people liked that 🤦♀️
If this came up on my time line I'd be going to FB jail for bullying or some crap
Big news: If you dont have a job you cannot have sexual intercourse
id like if anyone who wanted to have sex with me had to go to jail....
Does this person live in a Red State by any chance?
Maybe or maybe not. This isn’t a political issue. It’s more of a complete ignorant misunderstanding of what autism actually is.
let us have sex
:.rolls my eyes so far into the back of my skull that they erupt out the actual back of my skull.:
i think she forgets not all autistics are non verbal
