Nweintraub 630 Posted September 14, 2018 So, I'm pretty sure I first logged in around development of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, & some of the things I said were not very nice. Of course, this is because I was new, & I was scared, & one thing that everyone needs to know about me being autistic is that I'm not always aware of my actions' cause & affect, I truly do not mean any harm. It's just that I've had to deal with a majority of personal things in the past, like getting picked on at school more than twice, moving from Monroe to Baywood Heights, fearing I may not see my friends again, as well as the death of my Golden Retriever, Daisy, in 2015, & even losing my grandmother in 2017 due to terminal cancer. Now, my cat, Justin has a tumor on his right-front leg that's starting to burst through his skin, & he'll be treated on Monday, but even then, I'm worried about whether or not we have to choose between amputating said leg, removing only part of the tumor, or even as far as putting him to sleep, just like Daisy. So, with that in mind, even though that's no excuse, I still would like to apologize. I'm sorry. 11 1 2 Yessie Maltese, Titan3S, EchoFox23* and 11 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoraDaxjer28 263 Posted September 14, 2018 I am so sorry for your grandmother and your pets. I comprehend extremely well how challenging it is to have Autism. I have had it my whole life and even had to overcome discrimination through it. It is a pleasure to see you again, fellow Keyblader. I Sincerely Hope things start looking up for you very, very, very soon. In the meantime, always remember what King Mickey said, "There's always a Door to the Light'". 1 BennyJibCF reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vaude 535 Posted September 14, 2018 It seems that you have lived a hard-knock life, Nweintraub, and I'm very sorry to hear about the difficulties that you have already faced and are facing. Autism, wherever you are on the spectrum, is a challenge, though I'm sure a good number of people would forgive you for whatever happened years ago. Regardless, I hope you will stay positive even as troubles assail you, and that you continue to be a valuable and courteous member of our community. Best of wishes to you and your cat Justin. I pray things will get better for the both of you. 1 RuddnioJib reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyranto Rex 277 Posted September 15, 2018 I'm autistic too so I get that feeling. It's harder to judge interactions online than in regular life, and sometimes I think about stuff that has happened years ago and I cringe, even though it does not really matter anymore. Best of luck to you and your cat. 1 1 Scottler and BennyJibCF reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's harder to judge interactions online than in regular life, and sometimes I think about stuff that has happened years ago and I cringe, even though it does not really matter anymore. Best of luck to you and your cat. You think about things from the past & it makes you cringe, regardless of whether or not it has any point? OMG, I have that problem too! I've had it for the longest time! 1 1 Tyranto Rex and BennyJibCF reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ventus_ 396 Posted October 19, 2018 I don't have autism and have a limited understanding of the condition due to having casually met/interacted with a couple of people on the spectrum, namely, an overseas friend I met through my best friend and another friend's older brother. Nonetheless, I have a metaphorical rap sheet of coming across as rude and/or disrespectful either because of poor wording that I am unaware of or simply blunt expression of opinion. Thus far in my 4-years with KH13, there has been but a single incident here when I had my name changed from Final Rest to Ventus_, @Lea will recall. So autism aside, I've been where you are @Nweintraub and faced harsh consequences from some recipients while others were understanding and forgiving and the former leaves me feeling quite small. It's near impossible to judge tone in text, I can just imagine how much harder autism must make it and no one is perfect regardless but the above statement regarding the single incident I had here on KH13, is a credit to the improvement I've made in the past decade. Due to my experiences, I appreciate heartfelt/remorseful apologies. I commend you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
