    Anyone interested in Spider-Man?

    I’m having a huge fixation on Spider-Man right now because I recently watched Across the Spider-Verse and read Marvel Zombies. Peter in Marvel Zombies is such a fascinating character, and I could talk about him a lot. I might rewatch the MCU Spider-Man films since I recently saw the other...

    I hate fireworks. Hopefully the day goes by fast.

    Stress over job hunting

    I have zero self-confidence but thank you!

    Stress over job hunting

    Maybe—I’ll try looking into it if my current endeavors don’t work out :)))

    Stress over job hunting

    Ha, yeah, I try. I work at a small convenience store on my university campus during the school year, and I don’t have to deal with that as much. It’s a small store, and people just get what they want and leave. The expectations is much different in these retail settings, and man. I’m not a...

    Stress over job hunting

    Yeah, maybe. The last interview said that the job I applied for was no longer available, and the other available positions were full-time so I had to move on. Not to mention that they were in the meat department, and I wouldn't trust me, a depressed and auDHD person, to operate a meat slicer...

    Stress over job hunting

    I didn’t work through high school, mostly because it was COVID times. But right before college, I applied to an on-campus convenience store job that I like. It is stressful for me to interact with so many people, but a lot of fun things happen when you’re surrounded by college students...

    Stress over job hunting

    I’m a university student, and I didn’t take summer classes so I applied to several part time retail jobs. It’s frustrating how almost none of them ever called/contacted me back. And I was rejected by one, and I’ll see of the other calls me back or not within maybe 5 or so hours. It’s eating...

    How do I convince my doubtful parents of my autism?

    I understand where you’re coming from. yeah, my parents are caught up on how they missed all of the signs and such while I was growing up. They’re probably just bothered because it came out all of the sudden.

    Hello, everynyan

    I’m from the US, it’s just that my parents are Vietnamese immigrants. I went to a counselor at my university who specializes in diagnosing autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. She wrote me up an extensive report so I should just sit through it with my parents at some point, but it’s a...

    How do I convince my doubtful parents of my autism?

    I have tried before—the day after I told them, I had a call with them since I was away at college at the time. I tried my best to explain that nothing has changed except for me getting the diagnosis, and it’s something I’ve always had and is. But I don’t think they believe me or fully...

    How do I convince my doubtful parents of my autism?

    Yeah, I’m lucky to have support from my friends. But I’m still dependent on my family and are around them a lot, so it’d be nice if they could try and understand. They don’t have the best perception of mental illnesses or just “not being fully normal” in any form, and it’s hard to have both of...

    How do I convince my doubtful parents of my autism?

    Possibly my maternal grandmother and mother. But they’ve never been diagnosed and probably never will because of the stigmatism behind it/their own views. As for autism in Vietnamese, it does contain the word “bệnh,” which usually means “sick” in the sense of a physical illness (a cold or a...

    Hello, everynyan

    My parents basically consider any difference mentally to be bad. I think they consider my autism to be a liability and something “not fully normal,” so it’s bad in their eyes.

    How do I convince my doubtful parents of my autism?

    Hi, so I was diagnosed with autism back in March this year. It’s a big deal to me because I’m only being diagnosed now as an adult in college. At this point, I’ve much accepted it along with my friends. Receiving the accommodations I needed was life-changing. However, it’s difficult for my...
