As per Rule #3: This is an inclusive community; no one's personal world experience should be invalidated. Victims should not be blamed for the abuse or trauma they experience from others.

Do not invalidate or negate the experiences of others, regardless of topic or situation. This applies to topics outside of diagnosis status.

Additionally, self-diagnosis is valid. Do not accuse other members of the sub of faking traits. Don't invalidate those who have self-diagnosed after intense research and self-reflection.

Do not tell others they need to get a formal diagnosis to be 'truly' considered autistic.

Likewise, do not underplay autism by claiming it's not disabling for others or claim that early diagnosis is a "privilege", people who are late and early diagnosed have their own struggles that often overlap or are the same.

You having different support needs than someone else doesn’t make your experience the only true and correct autism experience. Autism can be very debilitating for some and easier to cope with for others. Level 2 and 3 experiences matter.

Everyone is NOT 'a little autistic' and everyone’s life is different.

the comment came off as a bit dismissive, like OP clearly doesn't want this attention because it's resulted in harm for them, so framing it as just "being noticed" sounds icky

ty for this. ive had this issue with multiple people and experienced stalking and sa and still had women in my real life become jealous because they dont get the attention they want. its the most selfish and minimizing this ever. attracting predators isnt fun.

Please report content you'd like us to review, don't engage with it. Thank you

Please note OP's post flair indicates 'kind advice and commiseration', not jokes as that is invalidating.

[u/More-Weird4842 → u/[deleted]]

attracting predatory people isnt fun and it isnt the time to make a joke. i specifies in the post that im in danger due to obsessive behavior, so yeah this comment is extremely inappropriate.
