  • Two ways: we either travel to an island with my brother and his partner (who’s also autistic). On this island fireworks are banned pretty much everywhere and we spend the evening like every other night of the year.

    Or we stay home and spend the evening like every other night of the year but I’m wearing earplugs and noise cancelling headphones.

    Yes, we get asked to celebrate with other people but we decided it’s just not worth it a couple years ago.














  • It’s fine to care about privacy but not citing a source will usually lead to people doubting the content. This is also why most people here discuss the form instead of the content because they don’t even know how truthful it is.

    The article does quote a study but doesn’t cite the source so we can’t even be certain the study that has been mentioned in the comments is the one the article is about.

    I understand that you were excited about the discovery and wanted to share it and it hurts that people don’t share your excitement but criticise the form of your post. This is why I’m trying to explain why people reacted that way.


  • It would have made everything easier if you had simply noted from which newspaper you took the picture.

    Just because an article gives a summary of a scientific study doesn’t mean that it’s believable. Cherry picking is a thing, especially in today’s political climate. So knowing which newspaper published (and probably paid the person making) the summary helps a lot to judge its quality.
