Whether it’s foot in mouth, a sudden heavy subject, or some utter nonsense that you don’t know how to process, what’s something that’s come up in an otherwise alright conversation that’s stopped it dead in its track for both of you?

    That’s one of the more insidious parts of that whole “conspiracy” (more like grift, but that’s splitting hairs…)

    It’s got to be hard enough raising a severely autistic kid without piling on the guilt that you may have caused it through well-intentioned actions. Even if you don’t really believe it, it’s pretty fucked to have to live with a shred of “what if…?” all because of one lying asshole and a bunch of easily-manipulated idiots.

      Yea … I hadn’t thought about that aspect of the conspiracy theory before (which in hindsight feels dumb). Thanks!

        Just to be clear, I wasn’t implying you were in the wrong necessarily, so hopefully it didn’t come across that way!
