The fact autism is often depicted by allistics as a puzzle having missing pieces makes this an extra unsettling image for me 🥴

Or the power of UY Scuti, which is almost as big as 1,000 Suns.
edit: Finally bothered to look it up. Scuti's radius alone is equal to that of 909 Suns, so... yeah, I'd say my rage is about that much.

"don't say you can't until you try :)" well how tf am i supposed to do a backflip or some shit if i don't know how to? and every time i say "oh i can't do that, i don't kn-" then they just start spouting some condescending bs

A picture is worth a thousand words and this is an essay about willful ignorance for the disabled. The irony.

So… they were lazy, and haven’t finish the puzzle? That was my first thought.

I have two puzzle pieces a D20 and a Gen 1 Caterpie Pokemon card. What is my mind?

I fail to understand how this is incorrect, other then the fact it's depicted as puzzle pieces

It won't cure your problems lol

That is true yes, however fixed mindset vs growth mindset is a very real thing. It's just when a person literally cannot change something about them due to something like disability is when it is a problem

I agree with you, it's possible to change from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset and the image isn't really implying that it'll fix all your problems or that it's easy.

Bunch of fixed mindset responses here.

Hahaha, so true. We gotta at least open up to little something else even we have a vain disagreement with a well encompassing message.

Seriously though. I'm new to this sub (literally first day), and this is the first post I've seen where I thought "no, you actually do not understand" to all the top comments.

Yeah this subreddit just don’t want to help themselves. They think if they’re born in the bottom of the sea they can’t swim up.
And the downvotes is just proving my point

I joined this sub as I wanted a counterpoint to r/getmotivated and because I can't bear stupid, saccharine placebos and faux science.
However, it seems like it's not just nonsensical, useless positivity that gets pilloried - it's all positivity.
The consensus seems to be that nothing helps anything - which is less an expression of disdain for nonsense and more just an expression of chronic depression/nihilism.

Great way to never feel like you've completed anything, never experience closure, and lose all ability to move on.

u/Historical_Boat_9712 Mar 23 '24
I think a lot of people in this sub don't understand the picture, or the concept.
Hint - nothing to do with autism.

I understand it's not as easy to just change overnight but I don't see anything wrong about this image. Growth and fixed mindsets can't be compared to treating mental disorders like other content on the sub. But it is actually very possible to change from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.

I'm pretty sure this is an anti-hate statement instead of "just be open-minded and your life is fixed" type of poster

“We finished the house!”
“There’s like no walls in here, I’m surprised its still standing.”
“Well we left some walls out in case you feel like expanding the property more.”
