Stop blaming my damn phone
The story
I can't self diagnose or anything but I'm 98% sure I'm autistic, the stories my family tells me about when I was younger add up to the autism symptoms I feel now. I've taken the Raads-R test or whatever it's called, I've actually take a bunch, all which lead to the general consensus that I do in fact most definitely have autism. I don't know how to tell my parents. they're asian and they told me a couple years ago that autistic people are weird and not normal or whatever and they probably dont believe anything i try to tell them. they dont believe im aromantic and that me being a tomboy is just a phase. life is becominig harder and harder and i dont know. i just cant do naything. the amount of stress increases every day and whenever i cry or say something about it theyre like oh its cause of that phone your addicted to. I barely have screentime because im so busy, i dance and im at school all day to the point where i only come home to sleep. they are. also pushing me to go to college, which I cant be bothered anymore. I dont. want to go to school anymore and I want to dance. I want to go to europe and dance or something like that. I don't know i dont thik my parents will support me. They'll probably be like u cant make a living, u have to go to college. you porblably got this idea from your phone didn't u. like idk anymore, what do i have to do to convince my parents

Wow, dude.......totally feel ya!!!! When I was a kid, my folks were kinda the same, ya know????? They just didn't get it, no matter how much I tried explainin'.....Like, seriously, how can ya live like that????? "Get a real job," they said......But come on, we're all unique, right???? Sometimes parents just ain't seein' the big picture.........I had to do my own thing. Sure, ain't easy, seriously.......But life's too short, ya know?????? Maybe???? Worth a shot, in my humble opinion. 🤔
utterly recognize the predicament. "neurodivergence" is not just a cliché—it's palpable and often misunderstood. it's ludicrous how parents dismiss valid concerns as mere "phases" or digital addiction. the pressure to conform to antiquated paradigms, like pursuing traditional "academic trajectories," is maddening. your desire to pursue dance, an "artistic vocation," is valid. however, anticipating parental support appears futile. convincement remains elusive when faced with obstinacy and ignorance. good luck surmounting this institutionalized narrow-mindedness.
man i gotta say i kinda get where youre comin from but like not fully though 🤔 my parents were strict too but at some point you just gotta suck it up and deal with it... if you wanna dance fine, go do that after getting some education college isnt the enemy ya know youll learn stuff that could be useful down the road... parents dont always get it, i hear ya! sumtimes you gotta work with what ya got; thinkin the phone is causing probs might actually have a point: i dunno it can be distracting... anyway, just try finding middle ground if thats even possible!
