Autism is a spectrum though. It presents differently in different people. There isnt a ‘one way’ to identify it, and i can understand the parents’ reluctance to find out, even if i disagree with their position.

aaannddd you know what else im gonna do?

Im gonna hit ya…

…aaaanddd youre gonna fall down…

MEAT!

This is great. But he hasnt yet recognised that it might be his behavior that is pushing people away.

Yup. Im like you in that regard.

Thats great! Thanks for sharing. Trying to show him that skills are like tools - the more collect, the more you have, and the more likely it will be that suddenly it seems you have a tool for everything, and people either start thinking youre a genius, or start to take advantage of you. Difference is, having the tools means you can choose.

Ya. I took that as ‘develop a talent, eventually people will notice’. Glad you found your thing. Tried the usual sports and pastimes. He gets duscouraged easily, but am trying to show him the grind is oart of the process of getting good, and that moat of us arent naturally talented. Its a long road ahead.

Functioning well in a social environment. The person has withdrawn from everything, preferring to game in the room. How to foster and maintain healthy social relationships.

Ze-bra, like le in french and bra like a piece of lingerie.

I sometimes need someone to do my homework for me. - OP, probably.

I worry about the state of the next generations. Imagine being 20 with no real skills to speak of, while at the same time complaining loudly why no one will hire you. Only the complaint was coaxed out of an LLM for the right online impact, because hey, karma, right?

It already does. Im sure most of the political subs are frequented by bots. Itll peak during the midterms.

What a strange Outlook!

Reminds me of the time the POTUS said he wasnt a rapist, nor a paedophile…

Got a new Brother and its been a welcome addition to the family, no doubt.
