This is the type of autistic shit I pulled off as a kid and still no one cared.

As an autistic parent i wouldn’t argue if my kid did this, secretly i would be proud for showing critical thinking skills.

Not my inner child crying because someone would be proud of stuff like that. 🥺😩

Why weren't you my parent?

When I was about 3-4 I hated clothes and wanted to be naked all the time. One day I was in the kitchen wearing my preferred outfit when my mom told me to put some clothes on. I went into my room and soon returned with one sock.

Does one sock count as clothes? Is it just a cloth? What is a cloth? Can I become a cloth?

All kids do this, it's not an autistic thing.

[–] 3laws -1 points 2 years ago

There's a really long argument with tons of science to back it up to be made here. Also, there's a clear threshold when kids stop doing similar stuff and very contextual scenarios when it's very clear that not "all kids".

But you do you and I'll do my AuDHD shenanigans.

I can hear my mom yell at me, "You're letting all the air out!"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Before air conditioning, it was, "You're letting the bugs in!".

I mean, it's not really malicious.

I liked how maliciouscompliance on Reddit was text-based and not just a bunch of pictures.

Do you mind letting us know why? This is something we might change in future, depending on what everyone thinks, so if you have a strong opinion either way we'd love to know.
