Your Autistic Life FR/EN/ES

I just saw an ad for tutoring Algebra 1. In it the parent was talking about how the tutoring should aim to get their daughter into virology, get ER experience and go to a prestigious medical school.

Algebra 1.

I get it. I've helped nurses and guys in the trades pass math requirements that they needed for professional goals.

Fine.

But all this talk of what their daughter would do, if only she got the right Algebra 1 tutoring is a huge red flag.

Toxic parents.

I'll note that there was zero talk about what the girl actually wanted to do with her life. It wasn't "she's passionate about virology." It really felt like parental projection.
