Nope, not ok.
Doctors told me I have autism a year ago, I told my family, they thought I was delusional and insane and tried to force me into a mental asylum in the middle of nowhere.
Got all my stuff, put it in my car... got mugged, car got stolen, spent a year homeless. Credit ruined, everything I have ever owned is gone, and the best part was all the rest of my friends and family either didnt believe me when I told them what was happening to me, thought I was insane... or were too busy to handle all my drama right now.
At least I can write on lemmy I guess.
I wish there was more I could do for you than just sit here and talk to you.
Well, thanks!
I would do a Go Fund Me or something like that but I am too worried they would find me.
How does it go from "the doctor's tell me I have autism" to "you're delusional and insane"? That can't be the only thing that happened, I mean that you told your family?
My father is a delusional QTard who believes that Tom Hanks' son kills eats and rapes children for adrenochrome, believes that ANTIFA did Jan 6th, and took great pride in showing me where and how he assembles firearms without serial numbers. Also he drank and drove so much he had to have an interlock device on his car for 7 years.
My brother, who I was living with, barely passed high school as he was spending all his time going to raves, doing so much MDMA/Ecstasy that he gave himself Serotonin Shock Syndrome, believes Shadow People are real, believes he can see peoples 'auras', was constantly pressuring me into doing hallucinogenic mushrooms, and believes it is funny to gaslight his schizoeffective girlfriend by telling her that everything that she did or said to him in the past 30 minutes /did not actually happen/, and then go 'haha just kidding, love you babe smooch'
My mother has a neurological disorder, spent her childhood doing any random drugs anyone would hand her on the street, and just generally speaking has the emotional and intellectual capacity of an 8 year old.
I would go on but I think you get the idea.
Quite literally by the time I was a preteen I was placed into an advanced education track at my middle school, and would come home to my entire family having insane emotional breakdowns and fights with each other all the time, and I actually just went online and to the library, learned basic psychology and would have to stop all their arguments via de escalation and leading group therapy sessions, basically everyday, until I gave up and just moved the family computer into my room and put headphones on.
Took me 34 years and nearly dying many times now to realize my family has always been completely insane, and they are incapable of changing.
This is not a healthy environment for neurotypical people. You are basically Matilda. ;) I hope you find a safe home and safe space and keep away from these people.
Hah, Matilda, no one has ever called me that before. =)
Yeah, I plan on never speaking to any of them ever again. I would prefer they think I am dead, as they are dead to me.
Aha also I cannot help myself with a nitpick:
Autistic people are neurodiverse, as well as I think uh ADHD and schizoid types and i think there is one other major one.
Normies are neurotypical, lol.
Akshually, its 'neurodivergent'.
Sorry ๐ญ
Neurospicy
Haha, counter-nitpicked! =)
Yeah I was gonna say its not healthy for neurotypical people, let alone someone nerodivergent like you. :)
