Or it is time to have that ADHD diagnosed.
I seriously hope you're joking around.
Why? Dude is probably actually autistic.
Do you just assume autistic cause people are weird?
Not every autistic person is bad at social. And as an actual autistic person who wouldn't dream of acting like that, I take offense to people dubbing everything they find odd or socially unacceptable as autism.
"Regular difficulties in social interaction or communication" is litterally a symptom for autism, my dude.
But but ... What about mah outrage?
Yes, I'm well aware of that. I went through the whole diagnosis process.
But, it's not always a symptom. You don't have to tick every box in the symptom list. Some autistic people have that symptom, some don't. None autistic people can have social issues too, it gets kinda tiring seeing every social issue being labelled as autism.
It's probably because you're autistic that you only think of this as odd and not for the specific case being presented.
I was using odd as a catchall term, plus I was tired and couldn't think of better phrasing. And I was using it to try and question why is it generally a common thing to label something as autism just because it isn't a socially 'acceptable' response.
Non autistic people can be just as socially inept. And not every autistic person is socially inept. So it's just tedious seeing a lot of stuff labelled as autism, when it could be a plethora of other things.
Real life shock to learn the empathy that online interactions lack.
*unecessery emotions that suck anyways\s
Women, "I miscarried last week, my husband and I have been trying for years and we really thought this was it."
Men, "You think that's bad? Have you been to the DMV?".
Poor anon. Should've said that research found miscarriages to be more common than previously believed and that this specific one likely wasn't the first and definitely not the last.
It's these little details that make all the difference...
"I know this is awful, but it'll probably happen again."
I don't know, chief. Probably not the best approach.
Comment was sarcastic and dunking on op for being socially stunted.
Lol anon's a dumbass. I work in healthcare and miscarriages are pretty common and for most people it's pretty easy to get pregnant again, by the story she wasn't admitted to the hospital so the pregnancy couldn't be very far. So it's not that big of a deal. That said, even if it isn't a big deal if you see someone crying you don't crack jokes lol. Have some tact and empathy. All that if the story was real, which it isn't.
The problem was the joke sucked. He should have reported her for murder to the government of Alabama, as a prank.
