Are you retarded if you don’t know how to use a washing machine?
I don’t know how to use it.

Just ask someone to show you. Nobody is born knowing how to use machinery. I didn't learn to use a washing machine till I was 18.  :viking:

I don't know how to do it even at this age, I'm afraid to fuck up while doing it, I also don't know how to pay the rent either, so I'm a mama's boy and will be so for many more years.

Even though aspies usually age slower than NT's, it doesn't mean they're retarded.

How old are you? You can learn this stuff at any age. I was 22 when I moved out of my parents' house,
and I had to ask one of my roommates if I'd written the rent check correctly. I learned by asking and by doing.

Be a man General Razorbeard. Take on the role and wear it as best you can. Fake it til you make it.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

I learned to use the washing machine last year.

Just ask your parents to ask you how to use it , they'll be willing to teach im sure.
I'll just diagnose myself as Goddess of the Universe and have done with it. Hell with autism!  :green: :zoinks:

nice is just something written on biscuits.

No one is retarded for not knowing things.

Knowing you don't know, and ask for directions is good.

Hiding that you don't know it is silly.

So, you are already half way. Acknowledging this is a skill you don't know yet.




And if it is comforting for you. I explained a new washing machine to someone way over 40 this year. He got lost in the options of the new one. So, I wrote him down the two options he might need for washing.

Ask your parents to write down step by step what things to do for a white and a coloured washing, and you are ready to do it on your own.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

I didn't learn til I left home, which was at age 38.

And personally, I don't care.

I still don't drive a car, and there are hundreds of things I "should" know by this age but don't know. That's OK, I know I'm not dumb.  8)
