As an autistic daughter myself, I can relate to this on another level. I am now 15 years old and I'm not allowed to cook, only bake. I'm definitely not allowed to touch the knife, I still have parental controls on my devices even though I was supposed to be able to decide whether I wanted to manage my own account or not on my 13th birthday. My mom packs my lunch, definitely invades my privacy and also talks about my autism in a way that gives me insecurities just like the part in the video where Lauren's mom tried to tell her why she can't have a boyfriend. Honestly, I almost teared up watching this because it's the most relatable thing I've ever seen in my life. This video is just so heartwarming. I also just feel like my mom doesn't trust me. She doesn't even let me go outside by myself unless I have to walk home from my coding class and she only allows that because my little brother walks with me + she makes me text her to assure her that I am ok. Honestly, even though this is just a story, I'm so glad that everything turned out well for Lauren because I don't know if it will be the same for me. Me and my mom had a talk today and she is definitely ok with me going to college once I graduate hs but I feel like she wants me to stay near home and start with community college before transferring. She said that I would need to stay and "grow up more" because I can't do my laundry, I can't cook and I am terrible at cleaning (I wonder why). Also, I would need a job which is a big change. At this point, this video just reminds me of my mom and I'm scared that she might stalk me like that too. Honestly, I don't know anything anymore. If you're not autistic then pls don't judge us. I feel overwhelmed constantly because of having to worry about not only what my mom would say but what other people would think. We are aware of our condition because we hear a lot from our parents. I know this is messy but If you actually read up to here, then thank you for reading my tedtalk.
I’m so sorry you have to go through this please talk to your mother and ask her to respect your personal space and tell her that you are more capable of doing things
A good idea might be to show her this video then or at least tell her about what happens in it then link it to how she’s been treating you, hopefully she can learn from that?
That mom's crossing boundaries with her daughter. No wonder she moved out. Just because you have a child with a disability, that doesn't mean you get to make his or her life any harder.
My mom did this to me too even though I'm not Autistic. I was claimed to have Mr. But I don't have that. Even one of my friends said that...Dcd is horribly under diagnosed because over 27 symptoms and signs exist in my life. It's horrible that parents never truly support people who really want to be independent...
I can totally relate. Although I was never diagnosed with ASD, I have eccentricities and obsessions. I always felt like my whole life was a perpetual adolescent in the eyes of my family. On one hand, they treated me like a handicap; yet, they had high expectations for me. They wanted me to have the trappings of adulthood but felt that I wasn't ready for certain milestones, e.g., getting married and having a child (but I did all of that very much to their chagrin). They were total control freaks which pissed me off. Many times, I stopped talking to them. They couldn't understand why I needed validation. If they wondered why, all they had to do was look in the mirror.
And I got my own helicopter parent and that exact parent is always so bothered by my interests of cats and how I wanna keep him or her safe from dangerous household everyday products like perfumes and things like that but I’m just trying to make sure my kitten child will be safe before I get to having him or her on the flip side after graduating I always thought to work at an animal shelter then from there a cafe with cats but since I’m autistic I’ve been held back from such a thing
The message of personal growth and overcoming challenges despite having autism is inspirational. It encourages everyone to live their life freely beyond the limitations imposed by others.
I'm autistic myself and in the past I've had issues with the way Dhar Mann has portrayed autism in the past. Far too often he would rely on stereotypes, portray the characters in perfect at everything, or it would come off as tasteless like the case of recreating the incident of Myka and James Stauffer rehoming an autistic orphan. Yeah, still haven't forgotten that one. But this video though. Oh boy this video. I really have to speak my mind on this one. This video was really good. I really got behind this story and I really appreciate how Lauren was portrayed here. I found her struggles very relatable to the first time I moved out of home, when others would tell us it was a bad idea. And my god the emotion with the scene of her Dad really tugged at the heartstrings. The autistic elements wasn't perfect, like that line "I'm more than just my autism". But at the very least it's showing how much Dhar Mann has improved since he first started doing these videos.
I agree, I’m autistic myself and I’m glad their was a video that was so close to home in the fact of others treating me different at school. The others wasn’t really close to home to me as people suffer differently with autism! X
I am not autistic , but seeing Dhar Mann create videos including autism and other disabilities it’s extremely heartwarming ! We need more videos like this 😊

I'm 23 years old, and my mom never got this overprotective when she found out I had autism when I was a baby. She didn't do parental controls on any of my devices, nor did she ever do the whole gps tracker thing. She, thankfully trusts me to limit myself on my phone, which is why I set timers on my apps. and when the timer is up, it's up. To anyone who has been treated like this, I am so sorry. Here's something that might make you all feel better: Psalm 94:18-When I said, my foot is slipping, your love, Lord, supported me.
My mother suddenly became like this when I got diagnosed with autism at 15, she was never like this before the diagnosis. I was lucky that my parents were divorced and I could go to my dad's house and ditch her. It's incredibly uncomfortable to see others treated like this with no escape, even just in a RUclips video.
@@mayyace in rare cases, there are people who would apologize. It may be due to not being well informed. They see just the types of autism where they would need to be taken care of. They don't see the other types where they can live a functional life if given proper guidance and learning what works for that person. I am sorry you had to go through similar with your mother though. I hope all is going better for you. ^_^

I understand how you feel. As i became an adult I've actually been less embarrassed and more open about the fact that i have autism but I'm also aware that it is and will always be a factor in my life. It's especially prevolent in social situations, and all my previous "friends" have abandoned me for one reason or another. It's hard, but it's who i am and i don't want to feel bad about it anymore. I hope you get to a place where you feel the same way.
@@Aroaceenby I had the same problem with friends too! And as my 3 other schools wouldn’t except me for who I am I’ve had to move schools 5 times. But I’m more open for my autism than I use to be. Have a magnificent day and weekend!
I can’t believe her mom controlled her life like that. I have autism too my mom never did anything like she did to Lauren. I bet she was the one that found away to reject her from the art college. I can’t believe she talked to Bradley and told him and Lauren to go their separate ways. All because of Autism?! I have autism and everyone treats me the same way as they do everyone else. So yeah Lauren is like everyone else we all are. Disability or not we are like everyone else everyone of us. If her mom was that upset about Lauren leaving her after her father died because she felt like she was going to be alone why didn’t she tell her that before? You should always talk with your kids if you feel that way but don’t keep them back from their dreams. Kids will always visit their parents and never be gone forever when they leave. At least they were able to talk and forgive each other.
Exactly! And such a mother is a control freak. SHE wants to be the one in control of Lauren's life and SHE wants to be the only one in charge. She is a possessive mother who thinks of Lauren has her extension and this is HORRIBLE. I would rather that we drop the autism label except for severe cases (we can call that mental retardation if you want). Bring back the R word and stop the PC junk.
Literally manipulated her daughter. What a physco. She didn't give up I cant believe I'm so mad over acting but yea this was an amazing message and video I'm glad everything worked out cuz she and many other autistic ppl are capable of so many things and their dreams ❤
32:29, that’s literally breaking and entering sweetheart. Also can I just say how relatable Lauren is in this? Like I have autism and the mood swings, miniature “panic” attacks, negative thinking & isolation are just some of the things that people, especially me, can relate to.
Same! I feel like one thing goes wrong, and I feel like there's a curse over my head. It makes me want to sink into full on meltdown mode. Spending time in nature really helps to keep me grounded.
for the first time, i respected how Dharr Mann potrays autism with no typical stereotypes ❤ This video is close to my heart and ease my soul that i am more than my spectrum❤ good job!
I have autism myself. Us autistic people are not perfect at everything. However, people don't know what we're capable of doing. They will soon realize the strengths, abilities and positives autistic people. I don't speak for one autistic person, I speak for every autistic warrior right round the world. It will take more than autism to stop us.
Even though I don’t have this exact autism, I can definitely relate to Lauren’s struggles and difficulties adjusting to new things throughout this video. But the important thing is that no matter how difficult it was, she never gave up, and she developed new skills as well as handle stressful situations with ease. This has to be one of my favorite videos from Dhar Mann so far. Awesome job on this one Dhar Mann Studios!
This is the realest story I’ve ever seen and relates to me soo much. It just motivates me to keep going, since I have autism and have a lot of love in art. It’s like the video I needed to see someday, and that’s today.
as an almost 15-year old, my mom does my hair every morning, my parents cook for me, the other day when i started crying about having 1 pimple on my cheek, my mom helped me put on some kinda cream while i was IN TEARS😭 i really love my parents, sometimes i forget how grateful i should be to have nice parents
I’m autistic and my mom is protective of me. She refused to let me to go university cause she thought people would take advantage of me which wasn’t the case. Now I’m older and do things on my own. I proved her wrong. For all the autism parents: you’re doing a lot more damage than good when coddling your special need kids.
@@anonymous-s5y3 good! I’m glad he didn’t hold you back from pursing your dreams. You can do whatever you want to do, if not better than anyone else. Remember that.
As a person with autism, I know what you're saying. In my childhood days, the lab scientists said that I couldn't make it to education, but I proved them wrong. I'm an adult and able to learn and work hard.
Her mom shouldn't be shutting her in like that, and the girl should make her own choices. (Edit) ty for 88 likes yall didnt really need to do that but ty.
calling the cops would Never be a good idea. they usually side with the parents. In their eyes. a parent is never wrong. cops can also help parents to oppress their own kids. and no one sees anything wrong with it.
Even the number ‘18’ itself screams responsibilities. The reason why Lauren was so disorganised in the first place was all her mums fault for not letting her do anything. Just because someone is autistic, doesn’t mean they should take any less responsibilities. I’m an autistic 16 year old and my parents have let me make my own decisions for years now and rarely ever hold me back from doing anything, proof that having an autistic son/daughter IS NOT AN EXCUSE
39:42 listen I know you want to protect your daughter because her father passed away but this is not what the father wanted he probably once his daughter to live her own life
Lots of episodes are not realistic anyways. But the whole video shows that infantilization is real for autistic people and I cannot stomach that women are especially prone to it.
This is literally how narcissistic moms be, just straight up demons, don't wanna see anyone else happy and just care about nothing but dragging others into darkness with them. I may not relate to having autism but ik what it's like growing up with a controlling mom(especially when they take advantage of their disabled children) I can go on and on but this video is merely scratching the surface, super relatable.
It's bad enough to be unlucky enough to date a controlling partner , & worse still if it happens to be one of your family members. Unfortunately, even your family members can be controlling, Isolate you, Treat you like a child, Doesn't let you have any freedom & independence, Controls the purse strings, I've got some of my own to add , Yep, Controls who you associate with, & the kind of people to associate with, Controls your hobbies, (eg sketching, like, dictate what kind of people you have in your artwork), Controls what you buy, (e.g. your family member or partner gets mad when you buy , say a 100th pair of shoes for example), Checks your phone or emails, Tells you what to eat, wear, & when to eat, wear, bathe, & sleep, & wake up, With a toxic family member/partner , you're way better off without them. All they do is make you miserable, & drag you down in to their toxic little world. That's what Lauren's mom did to her in that storyline.
As someone with autism, my mom fully supports me and my dreams. She doesnt baby me but she also is understanding of my needs. She also recently got diagnosed with autism so i think thats part of it. But it pains me to see that some parents are like this. Disabilities make things tough sure, but that doesnt mean anyone with them are helpless. Theres aton of people who have done great things even while they have disabilities! For anyone who is struggling with parents like this, or just struggling with their disabilities in general; your doing great. Dont think that this will hold you back, if you believe in something, you'll reach your goal!
I’m a 30 year old autistic who’s struggled with depression and anxiety for six years, but I have a job, a bus pass, a bank account, I know how to cook, clean, tidy up, do chores and everything by myself, but I have never been mollycoddled in my life. But I often have my own dreams too, but most of them died with covid and the loss of my grandfather and other friends. I struggle to hold myself together, but o have friends and family to help me. I feel sorry for you in every way, Lauren, I know what it feels like. Besides, that dummy who badmouthed should have gotten a kick up the backside.
Fr. My school lunches are actually pretty good. But it’s the fact that we only get like 22 min to eat. PLUS, they almost NEVER shut up in those mics at lunch.
I don’t think I’ve seen a more relatable Dhar Mann video. My name is Olivia, I’m Autistic, I just graduated this year, I have never had a job before, never dated, although.. my mom and dad want me to go back to high school for an extra year instead of college. They think I have so much more to learn. I am dreading going back because my one friend that I had at school got in a fight and she was 2 years behind me. So she’s going to be there. I sobbed yesterday because I just cannot see her or talk to her again… but I really don’t wanna disappoint my parents. I’m stuck between 2 predicaments… and school starts in like a week.. I’m so panicked, I can’t make up my mind, they say it’s fine if I don’t go back, but when they told me that, they sounded very angry/disappointed. I don’t know what to do. I just can’t go back… Any advice please?..
Our moms might care about us but they can’t control us bc we have our own life this what we are here for moms love us as much as we do but this one is overprotective and controlling this girl stands up to her mom we all should be like her. This is true abt how we can learn ourselves
John 14:8 - If God is all you have, you have all you need. Psalm 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Romans 8:18 - The Pain You've Been Feeling Can't Compare To The Joy That's Coming. Exodus 14:14 - The Lord Will Fight For You , You Just Need To Be Still. Jesus loves you all✝️💟 May God guide you throughout your whole entire life and lead you to the right path of life‼️
Thank God for the sister, the dad, the boyfriend, and the people in the art gallery for believing in Lauren and giving her a chance to fulfill her potential. And I'm glad the mom eventually learned her lesson. This is a very wholesome and beautiful video. I only wish we could see how far her relationship with the boyfriend went
I loved how she was able to get her mom to understand and to paint her dad and it made me think of what happened to me with my dad when my mom and uncle died but I hope that this video will help me feel more connected with family even though I miss my Mom calling me honey bunny I've always felt her connecting with me every day 😭❤
As an autistic person, this touched me. Plus, it made me thankful that my strict tiger mother at least gave me some independence. Robbing an autistic person of capability and independence will create lifetime issues.

This mom is extremely manipulative. She was telling her daughter she can’t live a normal life because of the autism. And tbh, autism makes life better in some cases. It’s not always a downside. I’m glad the daughter came to her senses and decided to spread out her wings and not stay cocooned.
That is the PROBLEM. And we can thank propaganda for that. Propaganda is what tells us that people with autism/ADHD are less mature and prone to making bad decisions. This is the problem.
I have autism and I’m happy to say that I enjoy this video and I really love the quote. “If you always keep a bird in a cage, it’ll never learn to fly.” Plus, the actress who plays Lauren really did a great job acting. Plus, she’s beautiful and talented.
Just because someone has a disability doesn't mean they have a problem. They can learn and do amazing things, just like the Good Doctor television show. He became a doctor, a great doctor!❤😂🎉
This is a good video my mom does this to me even though I’m not autistic because everyday when I get ready for school I’m not even allowed to brush my own hair and my privacy is always getting invaded and when I turn 18 I’m now scared that my mom will stalk me like that too

It's especially prevolent in social situations, and all my previous "friends" have abandoned me for one reason or another. It's hard, but it's who i am and i don't want to feel bad about it anymore. I hope you get to a place where you feel the same way.
@@Aroaceenby I had the same problem with friends too!
And as my 3 other schools wouldn’t except me for who I am I’ve had to move schools 5 times.
But I’m more open for my autism than I use to be.
Have a magnificent day and weekend!
bro i swear if she says “oH mY LiTtle hOnEy bOnnY!” one more time i’m going to crash out 😭

It’s just acting

Like let her do her own thing
dhar just keeps dropping bangers nonstop "If you always keep a bird in a cage, it'll never learn to fly." is the best quote ive heard im not gonna lie
I can’t believe her mom controlled her life like that. I have autism too my mom never did anything like she did to Lauren. I bet she was the one that found away to reject her from the art college. I can’t believe she talked to Bradley and told him and Lauren to go their separate ways. All because of Autism?! I have autism and everyone treats me the same way as they do everyone else. So yeah Lauren is like everyone else we all are. Disability or not we are like everyone else everyone of us. If her mom was that upset about Lauren leaving her after her father died because she felt like she was going to be alone why didn’t she tell her that before? You should always talk with your kids if you feel that way but don’t keep them back from their dreams. Kids will always visit their parents and never be gone forever when they leave. At least they were able to talk and forgive each other.
I can't agree more than what you say.
Exactly! And such a mother is a control freak. SHE wants to be the one in control of Lauren's life and SHE wants to be the only one in charge. She is a possessive mother who thinks of Lauren has her extension and this is HORRIBLE.
I would rather that we drop the autism label except for severe cases (we can call that mental retardation if you want). Bring back the R word and stop the PC junk.
41:38 why am I crying😭😭😭
Literally manipulated her daughter. What a physco. She didn't give up I cant believe I'm so mad over acting but yea this was an amazing message and video I'm glad everything worked out cuz she and many other autistic ppl are capable of so many things and their dreams ❤
My parents were the same way and my step parents too.
That was beautiful. It's nice to see the mom FINALLY gets the message of everything she's done.
Yep, but a little late though, she Should've supported her right from "day one" when she was getting in to her teenage years.
That's years too late.
@@juliebrickley2562 That's true.
32:29, that’s literally breaking and entering sweetheart.
Also can I just say how relatable Lauren is in this? Like I have autism and the mood swings, miniature “panic” attacks, negative thinking & isolation are just some of the things that people, especially me, can relate to.
Finally someone points out that she broke into her home (twice). Gotta love that she also tracks her phone without her consent too :D
Me too.
Same here!
Same! I feel like one thing goes wrong, and I feel like there's a curse over my head. It makes me want to sink into full on meltdown mode. Spending time in nature really helps to keep me grounded.
Same I have autism too and I always want to do things and I'm always hyper
right now, this girl is fitting the role so much, i get her so much, and this girl deserves a few friends that support her as her
Bradley is such an amazing and understanding person 😊😊
I haven't watched it yet but can you inform me of who Bradley is? I will watch it in the morning because it's almost midnight lol

I have autism myself. Us autistic people are not perfect at everything. However, people don't know what we're capable of doing. They will soon realize the strengths, abilities and positives autistic people. I don't speak for one autistic person, I speak for every autistic warrior right round the world. It will take more than autism to stop us.
Correct. It's not about disability, it's about Ability. That's our saying at my work. I am high functioning Autism myself, have an MBA, and a success.
Amen ❤
Hi, I'm not an autistic child but I love you guys,you all are special ❤
I agree we are more capable than what people think
HELL YEAH!!! HELL YEAH!!! So am I under the spectrum, fellow warrior.
22:27 THE WAY HE SAID TANJIRO KAMADO 😭
Thank you. you get me🤣
same
I agree
I never let my autism stop me from living my life and doing tough tasks. My parents were always supportive.
Even though I don’t have this exact autism, I can definitely relate to Lauren’s struggles and difficulties adjusting to new things throughout this video. But the important thing is that no matter how difficult it was, she never gave up, and she developed new skills as well as handle stressful situations with ease. This has to be one of my favorite videos from Dhar Mann so far. Awesome job on this one Dhar Mann Studios!
'' if you keep a bird 🐦 in a cage it will never learn to fly '' honestly I've never heard that one before but I love it very much 👍🏾 👌🏽
ffrrr

Love this ❤😊
Stop there beautiful.. Olivia is stunning, and even if your autistic doesn’t mean u can do anything u want in life, she is so pretty!
Olivia is the older sister..
@@Hollygirl328 yeah Lauren can do anything. It doesn’t matter that she’s autistic.
And even if you're* Autistic.
This is the realest story I’ve ever seen and relates to me soo much. It just motivates me to keep going, since I have autism and have a lot of love in art. It’s like the video I needed to see someday, and that’s today.
as an almost 15-year old, my mom does my hair every morning, my parents cook for me, the other day when i started crying about having 1 pimple on my cheek, my mom helped me put on some kinda cream while i was IN TEARS😭 i really love my parents, sometimes i forget how grateful i should be to have nice parents
I’m autistic and my mom is protective of me. She refused to let me to go university cause she thought people would take advantage of me which wasn’t the case. Now I’m older and do things on my own. I proved her wrong. For all the autism parents: you’re doing a lot more damage than good when coddling your special need kids.
i love you
@@RyantheMVP45 thank you soo much!
I am lucky that my dad did let me go to university and I start my last year of University tomorrow even if I am autistic
@@anonymous-s5y3 good! I’m glad he didn’t hold you back from pursing your dreams. You can do whatever you want to do, if not better than anyone else. Remember that.
As a person with autism, I know what you're saying. In my childhood days, the lab scientists said that I couldn't make it to education, but I proved them wrong. I'm an adult and able to learn and work hard.
Her mom shouldn't be shutting her in like that, and the girl should make her own choices. (Edit) ty for 88 likes yall didnt really need to do that but ty.
Lauren does have a point.
Womp womp
In that storyline,
Lauren's mom was just a manipulative bullying cow!

Lauren could have just called the cops on Mom for breaking and entering and she wouldn’t have to see her again.
I agree but she cant call the cops on her own mother
@@chad-pro-v1pno she literally can
@@bella.loveschannie exactly
calling the cops would Never be a good idea. they usually side with the parents.
In their eyes. a parent is never wrong.
cops can also help parents to oppress their own kids. and no one sees anything wrong with it.
@@lauren-qb9cfnot if you have proof of it
Even the number ‘18’ itself screams responsibilities. The reason why Lauren was so disorganised in the first place was all her mums fault for not letting her do anything. Just because someone is autistic, doesn’t mean they should take any less responsibilities. I’m an autistic 16 year old and my parents have let me make my own decisions for years now and rarely ever hold me back from doing anything, proof that having an autistic son/daughter IS NOT AN EXCUSE
Fr!

Frrrrr
This!! I have 4 on the spectrum and they are not allowed to use it as a crutch. Exceptions but no excuses
One of the best movies I've ever seen. Thanks for the good work. I love all of you.
39:42 listen I know you want to protect your daughter because her father passed away but this is not what the father wanted he probably once his daughter to live her own life
Its a script..
@@RyannDiamond yea its not real...
Lots of episodes are not realistic anyways. But the whole video shows that infantilization is real for autistic people and I cannot stomach that women are especially prone to it.
I'm just making a point
This is literally how narcissistic moms be, just straight up demons, don't wanna see anyone else happy and just care about nothing but dragging others into darkness with them. I may not relate to having autism but ik what it's like growing up with a controlling mom(especially when they take advantage of their disabled children) I can go on and on but this video is merely scratching the surface, super relatable.
It's bad enough to be unlucky enough to date a controlling partner , & worse still if it happens to be one of your family members.
Unfortunately, even your family members can be controlling, Isolate you,
Treat you like a child,
Doesn't let you have any freedom & independence,
Controls the purse strings,
I've got some of my own to add ,
Yep,
Controls who you associate with, & the kind of people to associate with,
Controls your hobbies, (eg sketching, like, dictate what kind of people you have in your artwork),
Controls what you buy,
(e.g. your family member or partner gets mad when you buy , say a 100th pair of shoes for example),
Checks your phone or emails,
Tells you what to eat, wear, & when to eat, wear, bathe, & sleep, & wake up,
With a toxic family member/partner , you're way better off without them.
All they do is make you miserable, & drag you down in to their toxic little world.
That's what Lauren's mom did to her in that storyline.
@@juliebrickley2562 straight truth.
“Wow, you’re really good at your job…”

As someone with autism, my mom fully supports me and my dreams. She doesnt baby me but she also is understanding of my needs. She also recently got diagnosed with autism so i think thats part of it. But it pains me to see that some parents are like this. Disabilities make things tough sure, but that doesnt mean anyone with them are helpless. Theres aton of people who have done great things even while they have disabilities! For anyone who is struggling with parents like this, or just struggling with their disabilities in general; your doing great. Dont think that this will hold you back, if you believe in something, you'll reach your goal!
I have autism so I completely understand everything that happens in this amazing story Dhar so thank you so much for making this video ❤
I Dont have autism but i don’t bully them, syndromes r just a superpower💖
I’m a 30 year old autistic who’s struggled with depression and anxiety for six years, but I have a job, a bus pass, a bank account, I know how to cook, clean, tidy up, do chores and everything by myself, but I have never been mollycoddled in my life. But I often have my own dreams too, but most of them died with covid and the loss of my grandfather and other friends. I struggle to hold myself together, but o have friends and family to help me. I feel sorry for you in every way, Lauren, I know what it feels like. Besides, that dummy who badmouthed should have gotten a kick up the backside.
I'm so sorry. I'm sure you still have dreams, maybe different ones but dreams. Keep the faith and pursue them. Wishing you blessings and happiness 😊
Strengths and abilities are always the hardest to reinforce for sure.
uhm its cause youre 30
If yall think the mom is a bad no she is not cause in real life she is soooo kind but same with the girls
those girls are bullying her when its literally the mom's fault. Honestly the worst mom i've ever seen
Yeah she’s way overboard!
good intentions, bad outcomes.
Ntm on the mom she didn’t know
At least she learn her lessons
She thinks she can handle it while nope my brother is like her so I understand what she needs and you are right girly pops

My name is Olivia, I’m Autistic, I just graduated this year, I have never had a job before, never dated, although..
my mom and dad want me to go back to high school for an extra year instead of college. They think I have so much more to learn. I am dreading going back because my one friend that I had at school got in a fight and she was 2 years behind me. So she’s going to be there. I sobbed yesterday because I just cannot see her or talk to her again… but I really don’t wanna disappoint my parents. I’m stuck between 2 predicaments… and school starts in like a week.. I’m so panicked, I can’t make up my mind, they say it’s fine if I don’t go back, but when they told me that, they sounded very angry/disappointed.
I don’t know what to do.
I just can’t go back…
Any advice please?..
Don't give up yet you'll push through and survive
hi i just saw this a month later and, maybe u should go to college!
Our moms might care about us but they can’t control us bc we have our own life this what we are here for moms love us as much as we do but this one is overprotective and controlling this girl stands up to her mom we all should be like her. This is true abt how we can learn ourselves

As an autistic person, this touched me. Plus, it made me thankful that my strict tiger mother at least gave me some independence. Robbing an autistic person of capability and independence will create lifetime issues.

This mom is extremely manipulative. She was telling her daughter she can’t live a normal life because of the autism. And tbh, autism makes life better in some cases. It’s not always a downside. I’m glad the daughter came to her senses and decided to spread out her wings and not stay cocooned.

Why didn’t the mom worry about herself? Focus on yourself!
That is the PROBLEM. And we can thank propaganda for that. Propaganda is what tells us that people with autism/ADHD are less mature and prone to making bad decisions. This is the problem.
That's not right
Being autistic doesnt mean parents need to be so overbearing. If they treat you like any other child you easily become independent
