@Autistic_Lauren Almost unconditionally. I'm just cursed with the fact that another part of my brain hates the constant deep talks and often needs a conversation on the level of "Hahahaha!!! He got hit in the head with a coconut!" in order to get out of being so deep in my head
@NoNonsenseND They however have used my autism as an attempt to dissuade a child from misbehaving implying that I'm living in poverty (SSDI/SSI) because i didn't behave. They also specifically referenced how I was often starving due to poverty but offered no real help.
2/2
@NoNonsenseND Mixed bag. Fam can be supportive but makes no attempt to hear my voice. They vaguely understand autism but make no attempt to understand my autism. Also they've made no real attempts to learn about my special/personal interests over a decade.

@Autistic_Lauren Been told I lack imagination. I point out that that they never asked about my interests/dreams ... like my D&D characters that I've spent 100s/1000s hours on between playing/writing/DMing.
I always end it with, "if you actually knew me, you'd be able to name 4 of my characters"
I just announced Dark Deity 3 on Saturday, and now there is a Nintendo Direct tomorrow, so I need your help!
I need to find as many Fire Emblem fans as possible before Fortune's Weave buries me, so like/retweet this if you love Fire Emblem!
I'm making this game for YOU!
@NoNonsenseND@at_psychologist Does anyone else get "lost in translation" too?
I had to talk to NT's earlier about lived experience, for the first 75% of it, I translated fine but the last 25% i dont even know what I said, but everyone seems to acknowledge the points I made.
its weird as hell
Today, February 16, 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of CyberConnect2.
To commemorate, we will begin development of .hack//Z.E.R.O., a new original game. This title will be fully self-published by CyberConnect2, from planning to development to release.

My therapist told me:
“When a person grows up feeling unseen, they learn to love by over-giving. They pour into everyone else, hoping that, one day, someone will finally pour back into them. So they become the care taker. The fixer. The one who shows up, even when no one shows up for them.”
And the hardest part? Deep down, they're not trying to be strong. They're just waiting for someone to do for them what they've spent their whole life doing for everyone else.
I actually don't want to climb any corporate ladders. I don't care about job titles. I don't need accolades.
I just want to have income to fund my lifestyle, not be depressed, help other people, and be around good humans.
Suicidal ideation, for many, isn't about death.
It's about relief.
From shame.
From feeling overwhelmed constantly. From feeling like a fucking burden.
The goal isn't always "not wanting to be alive"
It's just not wanting to live like this.
@broadwaybabyto I literally told profs and classmates "I would never entrust my, or another disabled persons care, to effectively any of the students and it should alarm them that the vast majority of students are uneducated when it comes to working with disabilities slash neurodivergent."

@broadwaybabyto What bothers me is that a vast majority of counseling students seemingly have zero intentions on working with minorities and even fewer have a basic understanding of how hard life is with so little resources.

@DisabledDoctor I wanted out of legislated poverty but now im not sure what ill do since Social Security is a poverty trap and being a counselor is/was my dream.
Maybe a state job, idk? But its pretty bleak ... sadly.
3/3
@DisabledDoctor Academia is not capable of supporting autistic folks and has no idea how to honor their voices let alone listen.
The system is FUBAR and it really shouldnt be. Its not that hard to listen to what someone actually wants and respect it.
The system abandoned me too sadly.
