I am so happy to see you
The whole "adhd as a crutch" argument is just like telling someone with glasses that they're cheating to get super vision or telling someone in a wheel chair to stop being lazy and walk.
it's especially rich because often some of the worst critics are people who are -undiagnosed themselves-. Like "how dare that person get accommodations/medication to help with their brain bees! They should just learn to horribly repress and mask until it makes them bitter like a normal person, like me!". Like... yeesh
But my glasses DO give me super vision. 🥸
Someone actually told me to walk one day - I can get up, I can't walk, but someone saw me get up and thought I could walk...
Well, it was embarrassing for them when I said "Well, do you wanna see me crawl on the floor? I can do that! That's the only way I can move without a wheelchair"
ADHD people get more time, people that need glasses are moved closer to the chalkboard, and people with wheelchairs get the best spots in a parking lot garage or otherwise.
There is no difference. They need additional aid, so they get it
@@fredskull1618 ok cyclops from x-men
"[X] is just a crutch!" Yes. Yes it is. And a crutch is something that some people OBJECTIVELY NEED in order to move around.
Litteraly.
Last year, I slammed my foot; I was already in my 30s, but lived with my parents for a few monthes while I was searching a home to buy. My foot wasn't broken (I think... no one wanted to drive me to the hospital), but it hurt so much I couldn't walk. I had to BEG my mother for a few days so she would buy me crutches. x) I couldn't go buy them myself, as I couldn't walk, let alone drive.
PS: I live in a country with very good healthcare. So, going to the hospital or having medicaments is never expensive. But, my mom, who is a nurse, never accepts that my brother, my father and I can be sick. The all world can be sick, but not us. x)
Well yes but actually no
If I had a broken leg and no crutch I could move around
It wouldn't be easy and it would be slow as hell.
But I could crawl and move still.
Maybe 'move around with dignity' may have been better phrasing
Yep
I wonder if the people that say that would change their mind if they broke a leg :)
Agreed! Like, "[Accommodation] is a crutch!", So you agree, they're walking through life with a proverbial broken leg and will require help throughout their life?
I’m Christian. When someone asks if I found Jesus, I want to reply, “I didn’t know he was missing.” A pagan friend, when her grandmother asked about her relationship with Jesus, replied, “I don’t know what you’ve heard but we met briefly at a party but nothing else happened. I don’t know who keeps spreading those silly rumors.” 😂🤣😂
I hope you got a friend named Jesus and could just call them going "OH MY GOD ARE YOU MISSING!?"
That is a brilliant response! LOL
This reminds me pf that pne meme where the people asked the old woman "have you found Jesus" and jesus is just hiding behind her curtains lol
Whenever someone brings up Jesus I say: Please don't mention my ex he was abusive
@@anonymousCAT420 also a brilliant comeback
13:06 "So youre just fine with being a virgin forever?" has GOT to be one of the biggest projections of the dudes own insecurities he could have possibly made.
I wouldn't be surprised if HE was a virgin.
@@BoxOfToasters Oh 100%.
And hey, so am I, nothing wrong with that.
Nothing wrong with feeling insecure about it either, society works pretty hard to make sure you will be.
Projecting that insecurity onto others, however? Thats a bit weak, no?
the best comeback to "how do you know if you are asexual if you've never had sex" is "how do you know you're NOT asexual if you've never had sex" because that guy so clearly values sex highly.
Yeah, it's so obviously projection. Like why yes, I am just fine with getting what I want.
@@navareeves8976 I like repeating people's questions back to them word for word. Straight guy asks me how I know I don't like penis if I've never had it? I'm asking him how he knows he doesn't like it if he's never had it. Apparently that's offensive. Like yeah, so why'd you ask it?
The best response to "Maybe you haven't met the right person yet" I have heard it's "Have you ever wanted to duck a Cactus? No? Maybe you haven't met the right Cactus yet"
Yeah, IS my Go to answer to that bs
I am stealing that
I met the right cactus. 💕
Personally I like to make it more personal by asking their sexuality, then turning on them. Ie. If they're a straight cis man "How do you know you're straight if you've never been bent over a table and taken to Broke Back Mountain by Daddy?"
They take it far more seriously when it's their own sexuality being called into question rather than using a funny but unrealistic analogy.
@@parishthewolf1508i heard your cactus is a prick
Utah has set up a tipline to report trans people for using
“The wrong bathroom”.
Yes, you can attach images.
Definitely don’t find it and spam it with memes and “other” images.
Can you provide a link? I totally won't spam it with my fanfic collection.
Edit: I just found out they require an email so I'm not sure I want to do it. Maybe I should make a throw away email for stuff like this.
Edit 2: Believable made up stories about fake trans people are apparently better than shitpost, as they waste resources, so I may do it instead.
Could we get a link for ease of "reporting"
thank you for this 🙏
Wouldn't it be a shame if we all just so happened to send photos of the state lawmakers that think its ok to take pictures of people in the bathroom. deffinitely don't do that
@@aidennevada243 The Humanist Report’s latest video on the subject has the lin:k in his description
I'm the person who mailed the 'cursed doll' to my kiddo. I was so happy when I heard my story being read out by The Click, & even happier that I made him laugh.
Today is a good day.
I live with kiddo now & the porch pirates are starting up again. I'm thinking about recreating 'The Package' with the addition of a geotracker so if it gets returned I can keep returning the doll to them to really drive the point home.
Omg, i would love to see more posts from you. The cursed doll was genius (and hilarious).
Omg!
No joke, you're honestly one of my favorite people right now. That story was incredible!😂
Mark Rober has some interesting videos on how to deal with porch pirates ;)
Omg, a geo-tracker to keep returning the doll? 😈 even better leave the salt in the package and put the "Notes with words like "thought you could stop me?" I totally would, especially if i had the language base you had 🤣
@@Rapr-kh6it Kiddo was rather irritated about the salt. They said it got everywhere & it took forever to get it out of her hair & dress. Said they were sweeping up salt for days.
@@KiboSanti I love Mark Rober. He's amazing.
The "Why are you wearing a mask" people are so obnoxious. It's all freedom and personal choices until someone makes a different choice than they would themselves.
Regarding the bullies: It's a US thing.
In most schools, the policy is to punish everyone involved in an altercation, no matter who is at fault. Supposedly, it's to deter it from happening at all.
As a side benefit, the school doesn't need to do any due diligence to determine who's at fault!
Yep, and on top of that, it usually ends up making the situation far worse for the person getting bullied because it does nothing to actually deter the bully from bullying. They just keep doing it, knowing thst the victim likely won't report again because they won't want to get in trouble themselves.
@@CryptidCritter Either that, or the victim goes all in because they realize that if they're gonna get in trouble no matter what they do, they may as well make it worth the trouble.
Yeah, I was bullied quite frequently until high school. And I would always get in trouble for standing up for myself. Sometimes even worse trouble than my bully.
I remember a school in my area had to go back on the zero tolerance policy after a group of three bullies all beat up this one kid on three different days. Since the school didn’t want to use their brain, they just suspended the victim because he was “involved” in three separate fights. Everyone called them out on their bullshit and they had to change their policy to avoid people from abusing this loophole.
meanwhile in the UK where they only punish the person bullied or maybe that was just the horrible school I went to
7:42 the analogy is even worse, because literal crutches also exist to help people with medical conditions get through life more easily. They exist to create "equal footing." (Puns fully intended)
It's actually even worser (I know) than that, since crutches are most often a temporary aid to aid you while you get better (learn ways to manage life in this context). That story is literally like someone telling their kid to walk off a broken leg.
True. It's of cause not meant to be taken literally but I see your point.
I wonder if the people that say that would change their mind if they broke a leg :)
Unrelated, but amazing PFP.
"you're just using that as a crutch" is such a dumb comment. YES, CRUTCHES ARE IMPORTANT TO FUCTION, why do you think i'm using them??.
I swear imagine seeing someone with a broken leg walking with crutches and telling them "you're just using crutches, stop". it makes no sense
Grannies are supposed to be supportive? My grandma was a verbal assassin.
One time my office had a Valentines day event and gave everyone a piece of pink construction paper to make a valentine with. I made an anatomical heart. I used the pink of the paper for my mid tones, markers for the darker colors and white pen for the highlights. It was GORGEOUS.
I showed it to my grandmother and she, the verbal assassin, said, and I quote: "Can't you make a pretty one?"
It still hurts.
Anatomical heart cards sound amazing! I'd have admired the commitment to detail and the effort! Hearts a extremely tough to draw.
Your granma might be a verbal assassin but if you assassinate them all, there's nobody left to cheer with you and dance on all these silly victory corpses you earned. There's a time and place for everything.
You made a witty and creative card c: I think you deserve a smile and a compliment for that 🧡 wish I could give ya an anatomical heart emoji for it ;b but even the emojis are simpletons ;b /lh
Yeah, my one grandma was a total sweetheart, the other thought there should be "open season" on trans people (yes, like open season on deer). Yeah, what a shock, I never came out to her and definitely skipped her funeral. If only hell was real.
my grandmother told my cousin on her 18th birthday that she was an ugly baby
I'm sorry that happened. Your heart sounds amazing! One of my grandmothers is also a bit like that. My other grandmother, who unfortunately passed when I was 9, was loving and kind from what I can remember. I hope you find someone who can be a kind grandmother to you one day
Babyklappen (babyhatches) are like a small door (sometimes a drawer like hatch) you can open to place your baby in a safe warm place anonymously. So mothers who want to keep it a secret can give away their babys without the need to throw them in a dumpster or put them on some stairs. The babies are safe and warm and the baby hatches normally give a signal to the next hospital. They are found in germany at hospitals but sometimes also at churches, fire departments and even police stations. They are meant to keep the baby safe while the mother will be anonymous the mothers won't throw them away where the baby will die.
Probably one of the best things invented in the last 30 years.
That…. That sounds incredible! Why can’t this be more commonplace?
That sort of thing has been around forever. What we really need is good access to and education around contraception, good publicly funded access to termination of unwanted pregnancies, good publicly funded health care through pregnancy, and good financial and social support for all parents, even the young and unmarried ones. Nobody should be in a situation of bringing a child into the world and then not having the resources or mental space to raise it.
It's not a new invention or concept. It was around even in the Middle Ages, people (women) could leave newborns in churches and abbots anonymously and the church would take them in and raise them. This was mostly to avoid the only other alternative... to kill the baby by throwing them in the local river. It's also why the family name Abbott exists; they are the descendants of such children.
The US has these too, at fire stations!
@tealkerberus748 part of the issue, not the whole issue, is the decline of the extended family and the rise of the nuclear one. "It takes a village to raise a child" isn't just a cute expression. It's a universal truth.
I once heard a comment that still makes me giggle. “My Dad always looks at me and says ‘One man’s trash is another man’s treasure’ and I still maintain that it’s the weirdest way to find out you’re adopted.”
😂 Oh, my god.
That's traumatizingly wholesome.
I think our dad's would be friends
This is almost on the same level as an adoptive family using a Mafia-esque blood ritual and backing it up with the "blood is thicker than water" saying.
I love that!
what part of drugging someone against there will isn't forced?
my mind boggles at the mental gymnastics of others.
I think he meant because they won't struggle. Ugh, feel dirty just thinking about it.
Maybe they think it's only if violence is involved ignoring how 'consensual [forcing]' is a legal term (if this id in america)
Tldr consensual forcing is when someone agrees because of an impairing substance not because they want it.
NEVER have your first time with someone inebriated
Some people are just crazy or stupid
Redefining both r-wording and the concept of something being forced in what I was gonna call one smooth motion, but really it's about as smooth as sandpaper. Just because it doesn't involve literal physical force (which what he advocates still does to some extent, for reasons I'd rather not describe in any detail) doesn't mean it's not forced on someone.
Yah, those date r*pe drugs are heavy coercion, forcing the victim into a vulnerable state whether they wouldn't resist if they wanted to. I hate that some university guys have practically gotten away with r*pe because some idiot judge doesn't want to "ruin their future." There was another guy recently who was sentenced to something like 1 year, but then the judge decided that was too harsh and he rescinded it. Yah, the judge was totally recalled, but sadly the damage was done.

My own personal TraumatizeThemBack story is from when I was a freshman in high school...a 13yr old goth girl with undiagnosed ASD and resting murder-face for reference😅 I was in the middle of the cafeteria when one of the popular girls in my grade turned to me and loudly asked whether I was a virgin or not, to which I replied (after blandly staring at her for so long she started looking visibly uncomfortable) "How about instead of playing 'Piss Off the Goth', how about we play 'Kill the Munchkin'?", and to this day I have never seen a white girl go so pale so quick as I did that day😂 Our next period was English and Shortie (this girl's legitimate nickname given the fact she was all of 4'9") immediately ran to tell our English teacher what I had said (with no mention of her own provocation)...our teacher literally laughed in Shortie's face and told her that's what she gets for picking a fight outside her weight class 🤣 good thing I had already enamored myself to all my teachers as their most diligent student so they knew I only "sharpened my talons on my victims" (a word-for-word quote from my Math teacher) when provoked 😈

@@jessicaolson490 I agree with you and just want to add a fun, personal anecdote.
My father is hetero and he actually did have sex with a guy once, purely to make sure he REALLY isn't into it and isn't just missing out because of social pressure.
This was HIS PERSONAL decision and NOTHING ELSE would have been ok, this is ABSOLUTELY NOT what anyone has to do!! Just don't get me wrong!
I just find it funny, because, well, it kinda is?
Bigotry is a lifestyle choice. We have to think about the children because we live in really dangerous times.
Imagine if one day you see your child being happy with their partner but they use pronounces !!! I could never handle so much sin
It's sad how unironically true your comment is.
It’s depressing that in the 21st century that people still see being LGBTQ+ as a mental illness. The hatred is heartbreaking

For the ace person getting punished, it seemed more like a punishment for screaming next to the chickens who probably got scared, since the punishment was just to not sit with the chickens for some time. If the screaming happened somewhere else, with no chickens to scare, they might not have gotten punished

The "piss girl" one is both heroic and absolutely horrendous. I'm glad the teacher got fired. It reminded me of a stunt like this when I was in highschool, we had a bio teacher who was... Let's say it was the first teacher I actually got into arguments with because she is a moron. One day, a classmate wanted to pee, and the teacher would not want to let her go. The classmate insisted, teacher got angry, classmate said "okay, I'll pee on the floor then" and actually started to get up like she would do it x') Teacher let her go. Because we were petty fucks, an other classmate said he also wanted to pee, teacher slammed her hand on the desk (she liked to do that), and said something along the lines of "you'll go pee when you're green in the face bc you can't keep it in anymore!" (translated, we're French). The guy said with an exquisite poker face "I'm black, you couldn't tell if I turned green, that's racist" 😂 That was a fun day
Beautiful! I can't translate the thing she said about being green in the face (I'm french too), can you tell me the sentence in french?

The 'as a crutch' comment just reminded me that when I told my mother my doctor was recommending I look into getting a wheelchair, she said she didn't want me to as it'd be a crutch....I pointed out I cannot walk without crutches and the pressure was destroying my shoulders hence wheelchair.
Like, wtf??
Oof, that sucks. My friend (who lives on her own but mainly funded by her mother) ended up having me buy her a power chair and then gradually paying me back so she could get one behind her mother's back. Keeps it in storage or at a friend's when her mom visits.
One of my favorite stories involving a baby was from a friend of mine. It was shortly after she had the baby, first time taking him out of the house. She was in Walmart buying things, and of course, every random person is obsessing about the baby. She's frustrated by the endless questions, and had finally had enough.
Near the end of the shopping trip, a kid (could be young teen, could be younger, she didn't remember) looks in the stroller and sees the covered up little bundle and was like "Is that a baby?" And my friend was like "No, it's a Velociraptor." Kid goes "Really" Friend "Yep, careful, he bites."
And at that exact moment, her baby grunts and stretches a little. Kid apparently ran off screaming.
I got tired of people asking me (homosexual male) if I thought they were attractive or if I'm sure I'm gay or what or how do I know I'm gay, so I just now started going: "why? you interested?"
As a lesbian bartender, I get an unreasonable amount of cishet men flirting, getting rejected, and then promptly asking if they're attractive to me.
I've just started saying "No!" while looking them straight in the eye before starting to list of different things they can do to improve on their appearance, usually involving simple things like "take a shower", "put some effort into dressing up" or "brush your teeth"
It's especially fun when it's clear they already do all that, and I get to act confused and go "Really?", implying it doesn't show.
Always makes my day!

If you have enough arguments with yourself in the shower, eventually you might come up with enough comebacks to use one at the right moment in real life. It's just argument training.
That is basically how I go through life with everything. every new conversation, everything I have to say that I've never said before, every new situation in which I have to talk in I practise beforehand when I'm alone. I use it as preperation for possible conversations/things I might have to say at some point.
I also do that to regualte emotions (specifically anger) and because while regulating I actually figure out what I wanna tell that person, how to say it and what to answer them so I actually am prepared for comebacks. hehe :D
(Also if I don't practise talking I'm absolutely incapable of forming any kind of sense-making-sentence. xD ^^)

@@JuBenjiiiiiI do that too. I think I'm mostly being paranoid, but whenever I need to have a serious talk or an argument with someone, I prepare beforehand for my comebacks.
I have a few shirts that have my favorite comebacks. "I had a brain tumor, I'm allowed to do weird things" is today's shirt. Another reads "I had brain surgery, what's your excuse?" These shirts take the words right out of my mouth.

If a teacher won't let you go to the bathroom, just go anyway. What is she gonna do, tackle you?
Or if you have zero shame whatsoever, piss yourself right then and there.
If she did in this case, she would have gotten peed on. Petty revenge as well as traumatizing them back.
I had one teacher try to stop me leaving (I have autism and I didn't often use my IEP). I just left and told my case manager (for those who don't know, tldr person in charge of your IEP and helping make sure it's good) about it. Needless to say that teacher never questioned me again. From what I know basically it was the teachers only warning. They were told because nothing bad happened they would get one warning
I used to HAVE to go right now. My teachers got informed & respected it. I came home in different clothes at least one day a week even with that in Element School. I'm better now thank goodness.
I'm pretty sure one of the previous videos had the story of someone who just stood up and wet their pants in front of the class. After that, the teacher told them to just leave if they had to use the bathroom.
Most of my teachers luckily didn't care much beyond us being quick and not making much noise.
As a teacher from Europe, I'm terrified of American public education. Kids are *shocker* just smaller humans and have bodily functions. When we have a test week, we have hallway surveillance to keep an eye on the hallway and bathrooms to make sure ALL kids can go to the bathroom without issues. What a weird thing to happen, wtf.
Yep, can confirm that in America there are three types of classes: Honors classes, classes with horrible teachers, and classes with horrible students.

@@thatweirdgay-69420 What?
The girl who wet herself during the test reminds me of elementary school me- When I was little, I couldn't hold it because I was prone to chronic UTIs that were debilitatingly painful. I had to stay home for days and do my schoolwork at home because of how painful it was. I could hardly get up to eat most days when I had them.
My mother refused to acknowledge that this was a severe condition, and so she dealt with it on her own and never took me to a doctor. According to her, her home remedy of making me chug cranberry juice and getting up to use the restroom every 15 minutes worked just fine.
I only had it checked out when I was taken out of her custody and had to see a doctor for a mandated health exam. I no longer struggle with that problem.
Anyway. Many teachers I had didn't believe me when I said I couldn't hold it, and as a result I'd end up wetting myself in class. Every time this happened, I'd go straight to the nurse's office, but the principal would have me sit in his office on a plastic chair and eat my lunch early while my parents were called so I didn't have to feel embarrassed with other kids seeing me sitting in my own piss.
Eventually, the principal just wrote up his own condition for me that I could go to the bathroom every hour regardless of who else was in there or if I had a pass to avoid this happening at all. Thanks to his actions as well, I wasn't bullied outside of first grade and my chronic UTIs weren't as frequent anymore. I ended up doing better in school (especially 3rd and 4th grade) because I wasn't missing entire weeks of class due to the painful UTIs.
Even though I didn't have medical notice giving me those accommodations, the principal was an amazing man who stepped up and made a terrible situation so much more tolerable.
Leaking personal medical info should've gotten her fired on its own, but I probably would've done it as "I'm really upset she said such things - I would've hoped that as a relapsing alcoholic she would've been more empathetic to my situation" like "oh, sorry, I assumed the rest of the school staff would've already been informed about it, my bad"
6:40 a personal favorite dark humor joke of mine goes, "What is a reverse exorcism", "It's when the demon tells the priest to get out of the child"
While we're on the subject, if you don't pay the exorcist, do you get repossessed?

In America you get into trouble for retaliating.
You can bully someone, and it's ok. You just can't defend yourself.
Its sadly why we have so many school problems.
The Tinfoil Hat crowd believes that's deliberate. They think the system wants kids indoctrinated to be passive victims, who keep their heads down, work hard, and don't ask questions.
It's seen as easier to just punish everyone involved rather than doing any form of investigating. It promotes Teachers and School Staff being stupid. Which is ironic considering schools are meant to be places of learning and education
It's a "don't rock the boat, don't be different, and for God's sake, don't be disabled!" Those things are all considered punishable offenses to the general population. It's unhinged.
When my older sister was in Kindergarten she was suspended from the bus for a week because an older child had been bullying her and my sister slugged the girl. Bully was 3 or 4 yrs older, so think an 8 or 9 yr old bullying a 5 yr old. Only my sister got in trouble. Mom had to drive her to and from school for a week. I think the older girl thought twice about bullying her again though.
@@Just1Norayou’d think that’s the one time the school would actually step in, because it’s a 9 year-old being mean to a 5 year-old, and it happened on the bus - yk, a major vehicle for accessibility, so that parents can actually uphold the law? The sort of thing that honestly should have gotten that school in a lot of legal trouble?
The emotion you describe, of realising just too late what the perfect response to someone would have been, has a name in French. It's called "l'esprit de l'escalier" - literally "staircase wit", because it comes into your head just as you're going downstairs from that dazzling occasion in the grand hotel or wherever.
18:44 Both my grannies would applaud your 13-16 year old self. Mainly my Dutch lesbian granny, but also my Irish ally granny. I've just come back from my Dutch lesbian granny, and she had said such nice things about my Irish ally granny. Apparently she and my grandfather sent them a lovely letter with lots of money (very typical for her) to them for their wedding. They used it to go on honeymoon to Barcelona and sent a letter back thanking her and my grandfather.
Of course all the other people who gave gifts too, but it makes for a less good story if we include all that.
My Irish ally granny was also So Embarrassed and Ashamed when her county didn't vote in favor of legalizing gay marriage. It was so sweet.
I'll miss her.
As an Irish lesbian I am so proud 😭😭
I’m glad my family are also allies, although your granny was a trailblazer 😭
Wish I had an LGBT+ cousin, but i AM the gay cousin 🥲
Wow wholesome, take my like.

America sounds horrific. What kind of country doesn't allow children access to a toilet without a special medical pass?
Not all of America. It just depends on whether where you live is red or blue or independent.
@@pyxilate4855that’s not quite right, it’s down to power-tripping teachers regardless of political party. i went to school my entire life just outside of NYC (about as blue as you can get) and there were many many teachers who wouldn’t allow bathroom breaks. it’s all just insecurity, they need to feel powerful by exerting control over teenagers
@@pyxilate4855why tf do political parties have that power
@@pyxilate4855 It's not about politics it's about a power trip. I grew up in a VERY red state and it always depended on the teacher. Our school planners had a "hall pass" page that only had TWO passes per class per semester, so in essence, only 18 passes for the ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR! Most teachers ignored that and created their own passes so that students could go when they needed to, but there were always a few teachers who very much does the 2 a semester pass rule. I had one that tried to not let me go to the bathroom, so I threatened to drop my pants a change my pad right there in my classroom. She let me go and never tried to stop me going to the bathroom again.
I live in America and some teachers have this stupid "leave your phone with me while I go thing." I didn't trust leaving my phone on a table, so I couldn't go use the bathroom. And when I have to go I move, a lot. He did end up letting me go. Most teachers only let one person go at a time. Some even have gendered passes. Thinking back on it, it's weird but so common. Apparently my Mom had to use the bathroom so bad once that she almost died.
Okay, as a Christian, I LOVE the sense of humour of the "friendly neighbourhood cripple." I also really love that the lady eventually found it funny.

I was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD when I was very young and struggled through school and university. My parents didn't tell me until I was out of college for the same "use it as a crutch"
I have Autism and ADHD, I think my mom might have withheld my ADHD diagnosis from me as I only found out when I read through some medical file and idk how long it had been there; I had an IEP and knew most of what was on there like extra time on tests but my mom chose not to tell me that I had something on there that allowed me a bigger window of being late for class without getting in trouble because she thought I would abuse it (I am pretty punctual, pretty sure it was only there because there was one class I routinely was late for because the way my routine was I had to go to my locker that was at like the complete opposite side of the school and then to the class which was back the other way which was basically impossible to do in the time between bells, I probably should have changed my routine of going to my locker then and had the books for it on me but my autism refused to allow that to change). At one point I walked in the door of this extremely strict teacher like three seconds after the bell and she told me I had after school detention with her for being late, I was practically having a panic attack over it and I couldn’t defend myself by notifying her that my IEP allowed that because I didn’t know that. Luckily when I showed up to her classroom after school she told me she’d let me off with a warning and I could go home, looking back idk if she was just being nice or if she saw my IEP and realized she wasn’t allowed to punish me for being barely late.
My mom didn’t tell me when I got my autism diagnosis or my depression diagnosis. I heard about autism because I overheard her telling my sister, and I heard about depression when my therapist went over all my diagnoses with me :/
@@The-one-and-only-Fruitcake Why is your diagnosis your sister’s business but not yours??? And I can’t even imagine struggling with depression but not knowing you have it just to find out you were already diagnosed and just never told, that really sucks.
@@aceofspades8474 i have no idea, i don’t think my mom was being malicious and instead just assumed my therapist would tell me, and i think my therapist expected my mom to tell me lol. Still kind of annoying
You having a diagnosis and your parents not telling you is a whole other level of bad parenting! As an adult I went to see a therapist: My parents were super ashamed and thought I am plain crazzy. I struggled a lot with cronic depressions from age 11onward. As a 42 years old I got a ADHD diagnosis. I am cinvinced had I known that I have ADHD earlier I had not have any depressions, or at least not as many and not as bad.
Yes! I love this stories.
My responses to acephobes are a mix of "have you tried [insert horizontal tango of AS's oposite sexuality]?" to "do you want to hug a cactus? how are you so sure you don't want to hug a cactus if you haven't tried?" and the last resort "why are you so obsessed with people's personal life? that's creeps behaviour". Only if the person refuses to learn or keeps up with the questioning.

Thanks to Click and OT, I got to do a mini 'traumatize then back' a couple years ago
An older dude I was working with (mid 20s to my then 17) was making small talk while we were in the same area - when I told him I was gay, he stated "how do you know you dont like guys if youve never been with one, ive dated plenty of women who told me they were lesbians" - thanks to Click and OT, I was armed and ready - "you do you know you don't like guys if you've never been with one" - he got flustered and tried to argue how 'that was different' and how 'women like to use being lesbian as an excuse' or something - also tried to argue being gay/trans was a trauma response😒
According to my friends, he was flirting with me prior to this, but I tend to be super oblivious to flirting from anyone - mans was apparently AP/IB graduate (harder versions of classes) and I was currently working towards getting my IB diploma so I thought we could talk smart (in my IB classes, the few guys had little to no toxic masculinity and could engage in convos around sexuality like a normal person so I wasn't expecting that comment to traumatize lmao)
Mans was not ready for the convos or AFAB nonbinary or asexuality if he panics about having weird comments thrown back at him
If being LGBTQ+ was a trauma response (I know it's not, just going off of their stupidity), then we should be much more concerned about who's abusing so many people than why a person won't "play with you". I'm also confused about what they would consider abuse.
Edit: Also, that's funny
I get that/do that a lot as an aroace gal. Love turning the tables on them, parroting their own words back. "But how can you be sure that you aren't into girls Michaela, have you tried dating them? You should just keep an open mind instead of closing yourself off, you never know..." etc.

If someone had made that rohypnol "joke" at my workplace, I would have made sure I knew their name, the name of the person they were talking to, the name of their supervisor, and gone immediately to HR to file a complaint about sexism, a hostile work environment, and fear for my own safety in working along side someone has such a casual, and possibly positive opinion of substances used for "date-r***", as these could also be used in the workplace where people share coffee pots and often leave drinks at their workplace while completing tasks away from their desks.
Yes!! I kept thinking, "Go to HR!!!"
"date-r***" is not a thing, that's just called r*** lol

Re: getting in trouble for defending yourself, yeah here in the states you're literally not allowed to defend yourself against bullies. I distinctly remember the school resource officer (in the states, schools have a police officer on grounds at all times) having a talk with students about how "there's no such thing as 'self defense'". I remember because as someone who's been bullied all my life, it made me LIVID.
I'm sorry, what!? A literal Police Officer told a bunch of children that Self-Defense doesn't exist!? I mean, I live in the States as well, but I have never been told this growing up! What!?
I mean, I've had the "zero tolerance policy" and all that, I mean specifically 'self-defense does not exist'.

When I was a teacher, I always let my students go to the bathroom whenever they wanted.
As I was the "nice and naive teacher", they just had a walk in the school.
I quit after a few years because I had absolutely no authority. But I still think I was right to let the students go to the bathroom, never my hard tests just to make students "respect" me, and other techniques my coworkers told me to use, in order to help me with my non-authority.
This! You don't have to ask because they can't forbid it. It's your basic right as a human
16:08 When I was going to school, a lot of schools here in the US would have "Zero tolerance" policies when it came to fights. Basically, they didn't care if there was a clear instigator, everyone who was involved got in trouble, even if one person never threw a punch. It was very unfair, and some bullies would abuse it just to get their targets in trouble as well.
Yep. My schools would even apply that to anyone "who ran to watch the fight", aka anyone in the immediate vicinity. Fight broke out in the hallway during passing time? Woop woop, guess detention is in the auditorium that day. Someone literally got thrown onto your lunch? Detention.
Yeah. I have friends who have had autism and ADHD and anxiety, depression, a whole buttload of things that vary between friends be hidden from them for YEARS. One of my old friends a while back had autism for SEVEN YEARS before being told. Their father forced their mom not to say anything because he would he "labeled autistic." They were also diagnosed with anxiety at 7 but it was hidden from medical files because it would "make them anxious." His dad also cut off their hair because it was an "unattractive texture for a lady" (it was curly.) The panic attacks and breakdowns my friend Elijah had were UNREAL. All of this because "it would be too stressful" or "the label is stupid" or some bs like that.

"He never made that comment again."
A bit of background: Here in The Netherlands, until a few years ago there used an orchestra entirely made up of physically and mentally handicapped people called 'Josti Band'. They weren't that great but they had a lot of fun playing. They sold out large venues with relative ease. But as a result the name Josti became somewhat of a slur.
So I have this colleague who has clearly reached his intellectual peak three to four decades ago. He often tries to pull himself up by dragging others down. A few years ago I was his target. When I entered the break room he was already there eating his toasti/grilled cheese sandwich. I snatch a brownie from the table while I pour myself some coffee.
"Ha ha. A downie with a brownie." He jokes.
I turn around; "And Josti with a Tosti."
He was flabbergasted while another colleague nearly soiled himself.
He never made that joke again.

After Covid restrictions began to lift, I was still wearing a mask due to panic attacks I'd get without it. My roommate and I were in the drive-thru for McDonald's and a group of teens two cars ahead of us were acting nuts. They were running around all the cars and honking and beating on windows and such. I was very annoyed as it was hard to keep track of all of them so we wouldn't accidentally hit one. Finally, just as we get up to the order board, one of the teens turn to me and yell out "Why are you wearing a mask?" I yelled back "I have Covid!" (which was a lie, I never got Covid). But the look of fear that crossed that kid's face as he ducked back into the car and rolled the window up quick was hilarious. I felt justified in my response, as he had been harassing everyone in line as it was. The lady taking our order never batted an eye when we showed up at the window. But I politely informed her that I'd lied to get the kid to go away. I wore it for mental comfort. She smiled and thanked me for my order. HOWEVER< I do applaud MYSELF in my mind. Does that count? LOL.
Yes, yes that definitely counts. You have every right to be proud of yourself for handling that situation like you did. Kudos!

My parents didnt tell me about my autism diagnosis i got as a small child. At all. Their reasoning was that they wanted me 'to live a normal life.'
I struggled to make friends, struggled with academics as soon as the work load increased, struggled to understand why i couldnt talk to people properly or why i got so obsessed with things (i had genuinely EVERY SINGLE scooby doo movie as a kid). And my parents were like 'oh youre just an old soul!!!' I still feel so cheated sometimes, because if i had known about my diagnosis and had gotten accomodations in middle school maybe id be in a higher math track instead of begging to be brought down because i wasnt able to understand how the math was being taught on my own.
If any parents are reading this and their children get diagnosed as neurodivergent, please tell them and help them out. Their childhoods will be a lot happier if they get the support they need.

The ADHD story reminded me of my own experience with autism. The doctor said that he thinks I have it at an appointment when I was around two years old, and my dad strongly fought against it with the doctor. His reasoning? I was able to emotionally connect with people.
Me being able to have a meaningful relationship with someone was the sole reason that, to this day, my dad doubted I had autism, even when i was diagnosed AGAIN at 17.
And this is a man who usually does his research on things, so I was flabbergasted.

Because they're not smart.
They're trying to sleep with the women they typically ask that to. In their minds, they wanna fuck this girl, but girl says she's Lesbian. So he says "but how do you know you're lesbian if you haven't slept with guy?", because it's an invitation. He's actually saying "You haven't slept with the right guy yet, I am the right guy", because a lot of dudes think they're gigachads who can be the ones to change a woman's mind. That's the logic behind that argument.
I've been told not to use my autism "as a crutch" when I informed them of symptoms of Autism- even the most known symptoms
My parents didn't tell me I was diagnosed with Asperger's at 5 (it was still called Asperger's back then), apparently my Dad was afraid I would "think [I] was special". That's been a theme with him, and is also the reason I wasn't skipped ahead several years like the school, therapists, whomever recommended. My Mom only told me last year. I'm 40. So much of my life would have been different, so much different, but I guess that's the case with practically everything. Still, I have to wonder about the things that have affected me most, y'know?
Also there's a good chance the dollar in the story at 26:30 had drugs folded up in it. That would have been a reason for panic.

This is why a lot of people teach their kids to fight back because thats the only way to get the bully to stop & you're gonna get in trouble anyways
As a teacher myself I feel ashamed of these behaviours mentioned in this video... But sadly I have made experiences with colleagues who are ... not very sensible to put it nicely. I think the biggest problem is when teachers view their students as "enemies": "We against them." Sadly some students and parents have this view, too.
7:18 a similar thing happened to me but the reason was actually bc my parents didn’t want me on meds and now I can’t take the meds bc I’m not used to taking a lot of pills. Putting me on meds sooner would have probably helped me take pills in general. Later in my life I started hiding any pills I was given bc I couldn’t stand the texture and pills always made me gag/choke.
Hell yeah! Once when I was in high school a group of girls kept bullied me and asking weird questions about me being bi such as 'how do you do it with a girl?', I honestly didn't know because I was innocent then. I was annoyed and merely said: "Why, wanna do it you creep?" Really loudly and clearly. Everyone ignored them for the next few weeks and it was GREAT.
The teacher telling the school about the poster's mental health issues gave me flashbacks to my youth, for background context, I was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism, that caused me to need many surgeries as a child, heart issues, lung issues and amongst other complications, a life expectancy of about 20 years old, I am currently typing this a month away from my 27th birthday, so when I was in the 9th grade, I started in a Clinical Trial and I had to go to the hospital once a week to receive an infusion of the enzyme my body cannot make and potentially save my life (It works, I am still on the medication to this day), so every week I would miss Wednesdays in school. I was already struggling with math (since then I've been diagnosed with Dyscalculia) and I was failing, so my algebra teacher decided to call my mother and tell her to pull me out of this trial because I was failing Algebra. My mother responded to her saying "My daughter's ability to live, is more important than her ability to find X" and hung up on her
Good for your mama!
How someone who is a teacher can be so stupid is beyond me. Isn't being alive a mandatory first step for being able to do algebra? I would think so at least. 😉
Happy for you that the medication works! 🎉
What a poopy teacher. Congrats for making it this far! May there be many more years in store for you!

As someone who grew up in NC, the church story hits so hard
My family was loosely catholic, but my dad and I are agnostic. A bunch of kids in school started asking why I didn't go to their church, repeatedly. Then later years they decided to try and use atheist as if it were an insult, so I corrected them since I liked using words correctly, and it became a massive discussion for the stupid 8th graders we all were.
Eventually I went to their church (dad's girlfriend made me), then stopped, and it started back up again. Though there was one kid who pressed "Why'd you stop coming to my church"
"Because you annoy me all week and I need more than 1 day break from you"
And that's how I made friends with his sister, since she laughed so hard she choked on her pizza.

11:54 I'm always a bit taken aback by the idea of ANYONE listening to a teacher when you have a real bathroom emergency, even if I know we're all different, I was a straight A's type of student and VERY adamant about it because I had a scholarship in which I depended on to still be able to go to that school, which not only made me very studious but also in general very abiding by the rules as I was in general kind of terrified of loosing my scholarship by getting into trouble
But once I *really* had to go to the bathroom and the classroom was being kind of rowdy (not me of course) but I'm guessing that had the teacher a bit on an edge, because despite me being quiet and never giving her trouble she just said no when I asked, I tried to reason a bit with her by explaining I really had to go but she didn't want to hear to what I had to say at which point I just stood up, looked her in the eye and said "I'm not asking permission, I'm informing you" and left the classroom
By the time I came back she had regained a bit of more control over the classroom, we just looked at each other for a second, she looked away and I went back to my seat
I was afraid to retaliate against authority, but I'd be DARNED if I was gonna have such drastic consequences by having an unreasonable conversation
I do really feel for OP tho, I'm sure it being medical didn't give them the space or time to discuss much, and honestly how DARES that woman, with that attitude surely she WOULD have given her trouble had OP done what I did, glad their parents had their back in the end
8:49 Hey, just a reminder to anyone who sees this: A teacher, substitute or not, who refuses to let you do something clearly stated in your accommodations, is not just an asshole; they are *LITERALLY BREAKING THE LAW*
I don’t remember for sure what specific type of law it is, but I’m *pretty* sure it’s federal law. So yeah, if a teacher doesn’t let you use your accommodations, at the very least report them to their boss (and make sure to point out in the conversation that not allowing you your accommodations is illegal).
I honestly doubt the US has those sorts of laws, given how much they hate children after they're born. Probably a *literally-the-rest-of-the-entire-civilized-world* thing.
Sadly, in the U.S., we have a no violence policy in our schools were, even if you're just defending yourself against a bully you'd still get in trouble for it. I think it's was made to prevent fighting in schools. However, even back when I went to school even I thought that rule was stupid because I thought it encouraged people not defending themselves even after getting bullied for it. Keep in mind, I'm an autistic person who likes rules and even I can't stand that stupid policy that basically lets bully's get away with stuff because they know you will get in trouble if you defend yourself.
The other problem that can arise from "zero tolerance" policies as they are is that the bully's victim just might let loose and make that trouble they're gonna get into worth it. Saw a situation when I was in high school where the bully ended up getting a broken nose and several lost teeth because the normally meek guy had had enough and decided to make his trip to detention worth it.
Every time I hear about someone getting in trouble for self defense because of a zero tolerance policy the bully who started it goes unpunished, so apparently they have plenty of tolerance of violence but zero tolerance for self defense.
@@LloydTheZephyrianyep, this was my and my dad's policy when I went to highschool. Don't start a fight, but you better make sure you finish it. Though I was more prone to threatening to stab people with pencils when they shoved their hands in my face and touched my stuff. (Didn't realize I was neurodivergent at the time and was reacting to being overstimulated)
Yep. I have multiple stories of dealing with zero tolerance bs with my kids, ranging from my getting detention in HS for screaming at a girl who wouldn't stop harassing me to most recent, my son getting detention for making the "finger guns" gesture. It just condones bullying.
@@LloydTheZephyrian We're proud of you,normally meek guy! May you have a good life!
13:51 Also, my bf is trans/Genderfluid and whenever someone says "whats in your pants?" He says "My phone!" Because he doesnt have pockets and keeps his phone in the waistband of his pants so ppl cant take it
You bf is valid
When you cause someone to break out the fictional languages you know you're in trouble
In my experience in the US, the person defending themselves often gets in MORE trouble than the bully. As someone who was suspended for "fighting" i.e. fighting BACK on more than one occasion, I can confidently say it's pretty common. Now I have kids in the school system who have also gotten in trouble for standing up to bullies. My daughter got in trouble for threatening to fight back when her friend was getting picked on. My daughter stepped in and said she'd fight them with her friend if they kept it up, and she's the one who got in trouble. To the point where her friend's mom and I moved both girls to a different school because they weren't protecting this little girl, and if our girls fired back they got lunch detention. It's some ol' bullshit.
I never live in the US, but there was also a "0 tolerance policy" at my school.
I've been bullied at school from my 12yo to my 17yo. I fought back just once (slapped once the bully in her face; but very midly because she was so tall I could barely touch her ^^). The bully told the P.E. teacher, who came to me, when I was in the changing room with my classmates.
I had no friend. There were no witnesses. I told no one was happened. But the classmates were shocked (like: SHE slapped someone?) and then, they all started to lie, saying they witnessed what happened, and that I didn't slapp the bully. I don't know if the teacher bought it, but I had no problem (and I still don't understand why my classmates, who didn't like me, stood for me).
My younger brother started to be bullied, but he immediately fought back; I think he broke his bully's nose. My mom was called by the school, the told that no one helped me for YEARS, that she approves what my brother did; he still had detention but she negociated the date, so the detention would be after the exams. At least my brother fought hard enough to make instantanely stop all bullying against him.
I thought in the USA defending oneself even with extreme violence is always allowed.
@@turkoositerapsidi That's actually a really common misconception. There are way too many women in prison for shooting their abuser when they are afraid he's going to kill them. Schools don't generally support self-defense in my experience. They punish the victim just as hard as the bully, if the bully get punished at all.
I have friends that have had to take their kids out of school and put them in online classes because the bullying has been so bad.
@@AmberBoBamber9681 Oh I see, that doesn't sound nice, if the wrong doer is not punished, but the victim is.
But what about all the guns then that usaians carrying around all day then?
@@turkoositerapsidi There are a lot of gunowners in the US, but the majority of us don't carry guns around. Most guns here are for hunting, though I live in a very red state, so there are more personal protection handguns carried here. The people walking around carrying assault rifles are actually pretty uncommon for the most part.
In a lot of cases, self-defense is a get out of jail free card, but in just as many, it's incredibly hard to prove that lethal force was necessary. Because my family leans very right, I grew up around guns. Mostly hunting rifles and some handguns we'd take to the shooting range. I've taken enhanced concealed carry courses and have my license to carry even though you don't need one in Idaho (where I live). One of the things they stress in that course is that the second you draw a gun, it's considered lethal force, and you need to be 100% sure you're ready to follow through, and that it's necessary, and that if you shoot someone, don't talk to anyone until you have a lawyer present, because it's very hard to prove self-defense. If you say the wrong thing to first responders, you're screwed.
Sorry for the book. There's a lot more nuance than the media on either side like to portray. Guns are a problem here, but it's not at cut and dry as a lot of people think.
The ADHD story really resonates with me. When I had to go to a psychologist my parents and the psychologist refused to let me see my diagnoses. My therapist was horrified years later when I brought it up, finally having realized that it’s not normal.
16:33 US schools don't care about students being bullied until they retaliate. The adults typically say things like "toughen up," "it builds character," "I went through it, stop being a wimp," etc... When the bullied kid either retaliates or literally defends themselves from getting beat on, suddenly it's "Zero Tolerance" and "you should've told someone..." Yet, no one can understand why so many "lone wolves" have "mental health" issues in the school system.
15:15 Bad teacher, the sexually harassed student should NOT be the one punished after FINSLLY losing their patience.
When I came out as Aroace my friend said that wasn’t a real thing. I made her watch a video on it and know she’s accepting of it.
I never came out in real life. No one would understand. I know the answrer would be: "you just didn't found the right one".
I'm glad it worked out for you!
Jw, did u show her the jaiden animations coming our vid?
Hey Click, my emotional support demon arrived few days ago and I took him to a psychiatrist visit. Really helped me mentally lol >:]
(I have no other reason to say this aside from the fact that I’m really happy and glad that I had found the channel)
That's amazing. I squeezed mine to crap dueimh both of my wisdom tooth extractions at the end of last year.
I got mine last month!
my mum never told me i had autism, I only started seeing signs at age 16-17, told her I think I might be autistic (I think that's how it went down) and she just said that I was diagnosed at age 6, I'm 18 now
other possible way I found out was I was making a list of disorders I have and asked her what I have-
30:00 that one rings home. When I was 15, I developped severe anorexia and depression (these I've likely had since childhood, but have never been adressed), was also hospitalized for it. It seemed like everyone knew. I guess the shool board might have been at a loss on how to deal with it. Apparently one teacher had talked about me and my issues in front of the whole class as, albeit with good intentions and expaining how my situation was serious etc. I have allways been bullied a lot too. Had 2 other teachers ask me about my eating habits in front of the whole class... I was so used to "being stripped of all rightts of privacy" because of my problems by family members and teachers that I thoughtit was normal and deserved. I was guilt-tripped anyway from both sides. Looking back it's a wonder how I graduated without losing a year. I lost one trimester (that's how school years are segmented in Luxembourg) due to hospitalisation, but since my grades were generally good, they just pondered the other two for that year.
These were really hard times. And the general memory is pretty hazy.
Ah yes, and have (further. I was later diagnosed with cPTSD as well. Does not come from nothing...) abuse as a cure for mental health and ED, had that from my grandfather. "You move in here for two weeks an I'll cure you"
I feel sorry for OP, so much. But damn, they had the guts to get that teacher what they deserved.
I was a skin picker too-very severe. I used tools(pins n tweezers) n didn’t pay attention to cleanliness. (I’ve struggled w depression my whole life.) I developed a spinal infection from staph entering my bloodstream. The small town ER I went to told me I was a drug addict (clean UAs-not an addict!) n not to come back there looking for drugs!
Long story short: I am now a paralyzed double amputee bc of their belief in my imaginary drug addiction. Dw, they paid, but I sure would rather have had my mobility back
My parents didn’t want me to get formally diagnosed with ASD because they “didn’t want me to use it as a crutch”.
The stupid thing is that ASD isn't a crutch, the actual crutch is the accommodations made for people with the diagnosis. So withholding a diagnosis is more like keeping crutches away from someone who needs them and expecting them to hobble around, then wondering why they aren't doing as well as everyone else.
@@ferretqueen2908 It didn’t help that I was bullied a lot as a “weird kid” growing up.
Example: I don’t like being poked and in middle school, this one girl, in my history class, kept poking me in the side which made me jump. And she would laugh. It got to a point where I almost bashed her in the head with my binder to make her stop. But one of my friends had seen me on the verge of a meltdown and she had to be the one to take action and swap seats with me. I’m telling you this cuz without that formal diagnosis, I was just seen as that one weird kid that was fun to make mad for no reason whatsoever.
I wish my parents got me diagnosed earlier because maybe accommodations could have been made to prevent situations like this.
I have a cousin in my family who always used to go on about how her kids were so much better since they didn't come from a divorced household. Did it all through my childhood. Fast forward to a couple years ago, her precious son got arrested for naughties with an under-aged girl. When the news broke about what happened, the first thing out of my mouth in front of her was "At least I don't have to inform the neighbors when I move in."
I told my kids that if they were denied bathroom access to go anyway and I would handle any issues with the school. It's cruel to force someone to possibly soil themselves, especially in a group setting because of a power trip.
I am particularly triggered by this issue because I have serious medical issues that make access to bathrooms critical. Urgency and pain are horrible enough. Unnecessarily making life even harder by denying bathroom access over a power trip is just cruelty. There's already too much unnecessary negativity surrounding bodily functions.
