It wasn’t a pharmacist, just a regular cvs employee but yeah I 100% believe that

What? They’re just curious about more detail, hence why they said “do you mind”, to be extra polite They’re trying to be conversational and inviting you to share more

No, we believe you, I’m just curious

A lot of us autistic folks have been pressured to share more info before people believe us about the discrimination we go through. Basically a lot of people pressure us to “prove” it. I have had to deal with that a lot. This is an anonymous app. I don’t always know people’s intentions.

Thank you for clarifying your intentions. People in my queer community in my city have not been the kindest and have pressured me to “prove” myself that discrimination happened to me so I just was not sure your intentions of asking that question

I don’t feel comfortable sharing more in detail right now

Also no offense intended. I just really need a break from thinking about this right now

Okay, I can understand your trepidation. I’m autistic too, if it helps any. I just wanted to be explicit that this person has good intentions. Maybe my “what” was a little too rude, I got protective of them.

Damn OK. Feel better. Though I do still wanna know eventually because I’m nosy.

Don’t want to press OP for details since they stated they’re not comfortable sharing but I’m also an autistic pharmacy tech

I understand that a lot of people are curious and possibly nosey, but these days I no longer feel comfortable disclosing in detail about traumatic things that happen to me unless I know someone actually wants to know because they care about me. I am just tired of sharing things just so people can be entertained by shit. I have been burned way too much by this

Also no offense, but none of us are entitled to have certain information about each other just because we are curious and I think that’s a good reminder. Sometimes I think our curiosity can get the best of us. And we are all strangers on this app. There was no way for you to automatically know that person had good intentions without them clarifying.

I mean… I can’t for certain tell that that’s what the asker meant, but it seemed rather obvious to me. And if that’s not what they meant, a lot of people would also be curious in a concerned, sympathetic way that I interpreted it in. Hence all the upvotes. I’m sorry you had to experience this whole trauma regardless.

Just because something is obvious to you doesn’t mean it is for everyone. Autism is a spectrum and some of us have gone through a lot of fucked up bullshit and trauma. Having upvotes in here doesn’t mean much to me. My experiences and feelings are still valid and no one is entitled to pry into my life just because they are curious.

We are gonna have to agree to disagree on this. Right after going through trauma, I am not always going to want to share every single specific nitty gritty aspect of my experience. This is also a super public YY space. Not everyone that is here is a good person here and it’s not irrational of me to ask clarifying questions. I have experienced autism hate in this group from folks that aren’t even autistic.

That’s totally fine, and makes sense, but then why did you post about it on yikyak? People are asking you about it bc you’re in the neurodivergent community, and we care about the members of our community - but if you don’t want to talk about it with people that you’re not close to, why post it to people who you’re not close to?

I don’t have a ton of people I’m close to where I live. I am allowed to post things here AND I am also allowed to have my own boundaries around not wanting to disclose more than I’m comfortable with. You are not entitled to anyone’s personal info even if you are curious. Not everyone on this group is supportive. I have literally encountered autism hate, especially as someone that has higher support needs.

Seriously the entitlement people have here is not ok. It’s not ok to pressure people to share things they aren’t cool with literally right after going through a traumatic experience. Not everyone that is here is supportive to people that are autistic. This is a public group. Anyone is allowed to share they have gone through a shitty ableist experience without being pressured to share more than they are comfortable with and if you can understand that then you aren’t a supportive or safe person
