Did lockdown make people more autistic or sm

I think people are more awkward and socially reserved than they were before this has just got rlly weird. Feel bad for young children with lots of energy and desire to explore rn

    I'm taking offense to that crap, lockdown does not make anyone autistic and I think you're very foolish/ignorant for saying that.

      I have to agree and must say I dislike when people throw it around as a slurr. I use to have a guy at my work who would make fun of me when I spoke too proper or used too many big words. He would say I was "being autistic". Said he was qualified to say so since he went to school for environmental science.

        I'm not going to brawl so put your fists down, I absolutely will not go and to waste my time going all the way in a place in Wales ( who do you think I am? ). Brawling with random people isn't the right answer and won't solve anything.

        Not to mention if you meant bad social skills then you could've written that, I know I'm not perfect but I take a lot of posts that people write a lot differently and so do other people. I have no problem in you explaining things but I have a problem if you're not being specific.

          Nobody in their right mind ever goes to Cardiff if they can possibly avoid it.

        • ah alright normaljudge64 it's ok if you didn't get it, it's my bad. The internet is a big place and i guess we need to make ourselves understood.

          the offer to brawl is still there though, especially if you are french or english. <3

        Bahahahaha best response ever.

        By the way, he has like 2 teeth, smokes copious amounts of methamphetamine & thinks the moon doesn't exist or something. I'm pretty sure he warms himself by sleeping under a pile of dead possums, beer cans & rotten kebab wrappers, but I'm glad he's blessed us with advice on appropriate child rearing techniques

        This site, I swear to God

          Thanks a lot, The moon is real though. Im just not retarted enough to believe people went to space to make this video:

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJUdH3uWkFI

          If you think those people are in space you're a fucking moron and Santa Claus is gonna visit you for sure in a coulple of days.

          Other than that I dont really have a comeback for anything else there. I can get like $5 for the beer cans I have over here tomorow if I really wanted to.

            Is the moon real, though? Do you have proof...proof that wasn't orchestrated by the government? I think not

              Dont be an idiot. You really think they went to space to make that stupid christmas video? Bruh fuck the government, it's obvious what you're looking at. If you think thats a video of people in space you have mental problems.

              Do you think Blues Clues is a real dog? They get $52 million a day to "go to space."

      I think they tried to write smth but I guess they probably didn't do a good job at spelling that.

      I assume OP meant: "Did lockdown make people more autistic or sadomasochistic?"

      They probably couldn't figure out how to spell the last word.

    Probably. Social skills need to be used to be kept fresh.

    I think the virus, quarantine, and social distancing have made people more awkward, because of the lack of interaction that isolation brings.

    Well, speaking for myself, the lockdown has seen me under fire from more people in my neighborhood for living alone.

    Forced to stay home, with probably nothing better to do about their boredom, their focus turned on me. At first the gossip was somewhat innocuous, just about me living in a big house alone. Then it started to bite when I started overhearing some of them making derogatory remarks about my loner lifestyle. This went on for several weeks under lockdown and only lessened after the lockdown restrictions were lifted, when businesses reopened and people started to go to work again.

    This experience has made me more socially distant to people in my neighborhood in general.

    You can't be MORE autistic, I think....

    It definitely is a bad state for mental health, that's for sure.

    Mix a little OCD with some social anxiety, a bit of germaphobia, some job loss, add a dash of social isolation & a sprinkle of family members dieing & yeah, people have gone nutso

    I definitely have...maybe I'm getting a bit autistic hahahaha

    ARTISTIC. I spelled it wrong

    No. People have always been autistically antisocial. Atleast here in Scandinavia.
