People who criticise autistic folk who do not work. Every autism case is different, and if a person with autism seems capable but unable to work then it's their business and shouldn't be shamed.

People might say that because everything seems to be an autism trait these days.When people say "Aren't we all just a little autistic?" If that was true, why are autistic people treated so badly?
Yes, this really does people with anxiety disorder no good at all.The fact that just getting a sniffle now is basically "Quick! Write your will while you still can!"
Like when we get a heatwave in the summer and people blame global warming rather than the fact that it is summer. We've had hot summers forever.Or that any change in the weather is basically a sign of the apocalypse.
Yes, it gets on my nerves too.Being reminded every 30 seconds about climate change, the housing crisis, the new pandemics we're going to have, the Second Great Depression WWIII, life is hopeless we're all doomed pass the cyanide please. I guess we would have been better off if the world really had ended in 2012.
Yes, like everything causes cancer. People have been eating sugar for years. When my mum was a kid she'd buy lots of sweets and chocolate from the sweet shop after school, probably way more than I had as a kid (and I did eat sweets and chocolate a lot). Eating sweets and chocolate isn't good for you as such but it's better than smoking.Hearing how every food I eat is going to end up killing me. The way the world is going why should I care anymore? I'm lucky I have food at all in this day and age. And a place I can afford to live in.
^ RELATED to above post: ^ The confounding subtlties of the Englsih langage yields situations ripe for being misunderstood, miscontrued, and ripe for a pet peeve.One of my worst pet peeves is 'fisselig'.
The German word 'fisselig' (pronounced as "fhistle fish" ) conveys a temporary state of inexactitude and sloppiness that is elicited by another person's nagging.
From the book, 'They Have a Word For It' by Howard Rhinegold.
Oh yes.When people dither near zebra crossings, so when you're approaching a zebra crossing in a car you feel you have to stop because you don't know what they're doing.
People online who get offended when you correct their spelling. I know it can be understandable for people to get offended, but I'd rather people correct me if I made a spelling mistake. I remember years ago I thought 'decent' was spelt 'descent', and I kept spelling it that way on an internet forum. I later found out for myself how it was supposed to be spelt, but felt irritated that nobody on the internet bothered to correct me. I felt embarrassed too, continuously using an incorrect spelling that meant something else. I think it's helpful to correct people's spellings, as it may be useful for them.
Ah, I never knew that. But it wasn't a spelling mistake as such. I remember on another forum this guy was normally a good speller but could never spell "nervous" right, it was always "nurvous". I don't know why, but it just got to me, being so he used the word a lot, and being so he spelt all other words correctly I couldn't get why he could never seem to spell "nervous".As an American, I immediately noticed that you used the word "spelt" as the past tense for "spell." Spelt means a kind of hulled wheat to Americans. But I know that "spelt" is the common word in the UK for the past tense of the word "spell" whereas here, we'd say "spelled". I like spotting these little differences between the language of our two countries.
haha, you said brain fartbrain fart
Neither did I until about 10 minutes ago lol.I just didn't know it was also done for spelled/spelt.
