Ive been diagnosed for 5 years now, the walk was so hard especially at the end, but I was in a wheelchair this time last year, and i wanted to be able to go on walks in the summertime, I did pool therapy and pots friendly training along with a lot of diet changes and continuous liquid IV supplements, not everyone gets better and its not required for a happy fulfilling life, but this is a big step for me that I am so grateful I could accomplish, I hope everyone gets there next big step this year, whether thats diagnosis, acceptance, or growth

I am diagnosed with Autism, I usually only read reddit posts and I don’t often post at all, when I do post it’s usually small comments or questions, I have never posted anything blatantly mean or hurtful, and I always read the rules of the sub before I post, and my posts, 9/10 times will get taken down by mods, or I get so many awful mean comments completely misunderstanding what I was asking that I take it down myself to avoid harassment.

I often don’t understand how to respond and behave in social situations and I thought I could handle a simple post on a platform. I’ve had this app for 3 years and every now and then I want to use it to interact with people who have similar interests as me.

I just feel like such a failure, I have so few IRL friends due to many factors and I can’t even use an app to talk to people.

I posted in a cooking sub about a recipe I thought was really interesting because it didn’t follow any traditional cooking advice, and used american cheese chunks dissolved in water to thicken a corn soup (which I thought was weird) I wanted to see other peoples reactions to it, it got taken down.

Am I so socially inept I can’t figure out how to use a simple app????

This is a post about me feeling socially inadequate, this is my first time posting in this sub and I have never had a bad experience with the mods here.

Hi everyone! I already posted something similar in /Norfolk I just got a temporary position (10 months) in Portsmouth and I have already figured out most people don't recommend living there. I am looking in surrounding areas and at apt reviews and it seems every single apartment complex (virginia beach, churchland, norfolk/bayview area) is either $2300+ for a tiny one-bedroom, or infested with roaches and rats and bugs and mold with homeless people shooting at you constantly.

This is my first time moving to a bigger city, I have lived in a small suburb in Mississippi for years. Has anyone sucessfully rented an apartment for under 1600 and not died of rat-given plague or 30 gunshot wounds? I'm sure most reviews are overblown but I've never done anything like this before. Can anyone offer advice, apartment building recs, or any kind of encouragment, im at a loss
