r/AutisticAdults

I need to vent somewhere because I am losing my mind hahah.

I live in a 10 unit apartment building. Our property manager is a nightmare to deal with. He constantly enters the apartments no notice, refuses to repair things, and retaliates against tenants. We're so sick of it SIX of us got together and wrote a group email to his bosses (it's a large property management company). They just kept insisting he can't help how he acts because he's autistic. I replied and was like...I am also autistic? Being autistic does not prevent you from being able to follow the law? And they were like oh okay as an autistic person you must understand how he struggles with empathy and to fit in socially. It's not our place to judge him.

WHAT THE HELL. I want to yeet myself out the window. I am so exhausted by these people.

Being autistic is not an excuse for breaking state laws repeatedly and entering single women's apartments with no notice??? REPEATEDLY??? Including on weekends????

My phone is dry, i've been crying, its my birthday and arguably the hardest day of the year for me. Every year i dread this moment because its a reminder of how lonely and miserable i am. Its a day made to celebrate my existence and theres not much to celebrate. Do you guys reading could wish me an happy birthday ? It would mean a lot

edit: i can't even respond to you all because i received so many happy birthday messages, but i read them all and will continue to read them all. I'm so thankfull, glad and moved that so many strangers took some time out of their busy days to wish me an happy birthday. Thank you to everyone who said they were with me, who encouraged me to go do something out and who said i was enough and loved. Thank you also to everyone who shared their similar and difficult experiences with birthdays. I'm really sorry you're also going through this but at the same time i'm relieved i'm not alone. I know it may see futile and trivial but i often feel like I barely even exist in this world and reading all your messages made me feel like a person again. Thank you for so much for your kindness, your understanding, your word of encouragment and for acknowledging me, it really means a whole whole lot.

Some people find me funny, even hilarious just by saying normal stuff. I'm not sure if it's my voice or the lack of expression on my face when I say stuff. I can seem overly excited about situations with a O_O face. At times people find funny my tone of voice, which may sound too serious. Other times I say philosophical stuff, basically thinking out loud which makes people burst into laughter, even if I was far from trying to be funny.

Like, seriously, I am terrible at getting jokes or making up jokes, but I do have a rich creativity for stories.

Is being unintentionally funny a neurodivergent thing?
