I've been thinking on how I'd be without my autism. It kinda makes me feel bad thinking about though...
Without those mistakes you would have never came to this realization! You needed to make those small mistakes to shift your perspective. Hopefully you can learn to forgive yourself so it doesn't weigh heavy on your mind.snip
same **** happens when I tell my mom I want to get the J&J vaccine. she's like "I really wouldn't get it if I were you, lots of people have died" like ma if it was that dangerous they would not administer it to students on campus so easily, I absolutely guarantee it. I'm signing up to get the vaccine probably this Sunday (forgot to mention, the university/public health dept. is distributing the vaccines) and she absolutely hates it but idc.Every time I see people being happy to get vaccinated, I can't help but feel a little down because I know I wouldn't be able to get it even if I wanted to. With a family who is against vaccines due to misinformation, it makes it hard for me to truly voice my thoughts to them. I only said I wouldn't be getting it to avoid arguments. As a matter of fact, I want to get a shot to prove them wrong that the vaccine against the virus works. It's way better than catching it and having long-term symptoms. Thanks a lot, Facebook.![]()
What really annoys me the most is that the people against it really try to make things look bad from their perspective and are being overdramatic about it. It's really important to do deep research on stuff that is credible and look at the full story with critical thinking involved. The ignorance of some people is infuriating...same **** happens when I tell my mom I want to get the J&J vaccine. she's like "I really wouldn't get it if I were you, lots of people have died" like ma if it was that dangerous they would not administer it to students on campus so easily, I absolutely guarantee it.

she also said yesterday "people have been getting really ill after the second dose" but the thing is the J&J vaccine is only one dose, but then she was like "YEAH THEY'LL TELL YOU THAT INITIALLY AND THEN AFTERWARD TELL YOU TO COME BACK FOR A SECOND DOSE" like is she really that ****ing paranoid about it?? I have no clue what kind of bs she's been reading on fb but she's driving me insane.
(she was prob also getting the vaccine confused with the other two vaccines, which do require two doses. but I know plenty of people, including multiple on this forum, who have gotten one of the two dose vaccines and they're perfectly fine)
