To me, being autistic is having your environment randomly attack you at all times.

YES. I need to know the answers to why things are the way they are. And why we don’t change/fix things.

ppl who don't get cats will try to argue that cats don't love you meanwhile cats will cry and cry and cry and cry like the world is ending until you hold them like a baby and give them a kissy on their perfect lil forehead

Me: "I'm just going into the shops for a few minutes. I don't need my noise cancelling headphones. I'll be fine."

Morgan Freeman Voiceover: "She was not, in fact, fine."

Honestly, I don’t think autistic people are bad at small talk; I think it’s that we don’t need it.

The point of small talk is to judge whether or not you vibe w/ someone without having to be direct about it and thus risking hurting their feelings.

But autistic people don’t need that. We’re naturally wired to take people as they are and be honest about what we think & feel, and we tend to prefer the same from others.

So our struggle with small talk isn’t because we’re lacking a necessary skill, it’s because the skill is irrelevant to our natural social experience.

My autistic arse would be eternally greatful if modern technology stopped adjusting its brightness automatically instead of staying at the level I set it to

question: do ppl ACTUALLY say things they don’t mean when they’re angry? or is that just an excuse after letting something true slip? i wouldn’t ever say something i don’t mean in anger, so the concept confuses me.

but something was said to me that is bothering me, though apparently was said in an argument and wasn’t meant. but i don’t rlly believe it wasn’t like, deep down true thoughts/feelings??? anyone have any insight? anyone say things they don’t mean in anger?

Como todos deberían actuar 🥺

my mom told my eye doctor i was on the spectrum and for the rest of the appointment he :

- avoided making eye contact with me

- spoke with more specific instructions when he was asking me to do something

- when he spoke to me he sat right next to me facing forward, instead of towards me

it was very very /pos 😊

My sister sent this to me and was like "This is you".

Yes.

Yes, I can verify that this is, in fact, me.

Neurodivergent culture is fearing independence but also wanting it so bad.
