#I think it's because of my autism (undiagnosed)

[plaguedoctormemes]

People making fun of tone tags really fucked me up. For awhile it felt like everyone i knew and follow was using them and even though *some* people were kind of annoying about them it really did help me pick up tone and intent over text

But since everyone kind of threw a fit and decided “uhmm tone tags actually ARENT helpful and are MORE confusing than just using your words!” I feel like I have a much harder time trying to intuit intent over text than ever before (from people I don’t know very very well).

Like i feel like the point of people complaining was that “hey tone tags arent all that helpful for some people, so let’s be more clear about what we’re talking about, be less overly-friendly towards people we don’t know, and if anything just state our intent” but that didn’t happen!

And now it’s really got me thinking that I might have autism because this along with a lot of other shit going on in my life I’m starting to realize I may have an issue I have been simply chalking up to undiagnosed ADHD for over 15 years.

I'd like to thank the Fenton family are master manipulators and Danny has learned from his family some know about their manipulative tendencies more than others in the family such as:

Jack Fenton:

He is blissfully unaware of his belated manipulation almost annoyingly so (scratch almost it's totally annoying) he uses his adorable naivety to play into people's hearts to get exactly what he wants which is partly why they're OSHA violation filled house still stands on city blocks

Danny blessed with his mother's youth and soft round facial features aid him in this respect Jack didn't outright teach him how to be manipulative in this tactic Danny just kind of picked it up by watching silently taking notes throughout his life

Madison Fenton:

Maddie is terrifying when it comes to her manipulation she has the smile of a goddess but the aura of an overprotective mother Bear. Not only is she a black belt in karate but she also knows how to use what's most closest to her and burn everything to the ground before your eyes in order to avenge her family's honor and or pride

Danny learns how to be just as overprotective if not more and maybe a bit overbearing over his found family after the accident. so scared that he might lose them with all the misfortune he attracts on a daily basis He's come close to pulling what his mother does when burning the things of Vlad loves most before his eyes but he can't bring himself to do it knowing that thing Vlad knows most is his own mother and he knows he wouldn't be able to hurt her hard enough to hurt Vlad without hurting himself in the process He's not willing to take that sacrifice

Jasmine Fenton

Jazz is much like her mother in the respect of being overprotective just not as much as Danny (post accident) or Maddie unlike her mother Jasmine prefers a more psychological root as her first action instead of a physical one at an early age Jasmine started to hyper fixate on The psychological aspect of manipulation thus she has thrown herself into studies and all the ways to tear a man apart from the mind alone she can be almost sadistic in this respect if it includes avenging a family member (mostly Danny or Danny's found family) she can be downright terrifying this becomes even more apparent when she becomes Justice of the Ghost Kings high council because her ghostly ability includes illusions and the mind and that can only lead to breaking a man beyond repair

Danny being raised by his older sister due to his parents accidental neglect knows far more about the human brain than anything else. He knows how to tear apart a man from the mind as well this only gets worse post accident because not only can he take apart your mind with psychological warfare but some of his threats won't be as baseless he could threaten to rip out your heart before the accident but he couldn't actually do that until post accident All intake is for him to go intangible place a hand on your beating heart and whisper the threat and you'd be psychologically scarred for years

(Jazz has watched him do this to people! She is incredibly proud!)

Chuck McGill neurodivergent real?!!

That sad realization that not only did the undiagnosed autism lead to me not realizing my "friends" were actually bullying me the whole time I knew them but I was also unintentionally doing something similar to neurotypical friends because I didn't understand how we thought differently

[flaskuwu]

ignore this I just need to vent somewhere so I don’t go insane ^_^”*

i dont know much about trigun but i think it would be silly if vash and knives (they are brothers?) or vash and wolfwood (lovers? enemies? idk) were drawn like that barbie and ken mugshot meme. From what you post Mr Vash Stampede just seems like ken. little silly guy

YOU HAVE THE MOST PERFECT TIMING WITH THIS EVER I'm literally in the middle of drawing a picture of knives and vash that looks like this.

theyre brothers your honor

So cracking open the crate of 'actually I had childhood trauma all along!' was unexpected. But now a lot of shit makes a bunch of sense.

ok so my talk with my dad actually went... really well? i spoke to him about my doctor's visit while we were hiking since that is the peak time for conveying information to him and right away way he just kind of. accepted that i was autistic and probably need some kind of help for it?? and then we spent the whole hike talking about autism??? so... mission accomplished!

[senseiwu]

Can't really relate to a lot of those "WHICH OF THESE COOL TOYS DID YOU HAVE" because 1. poor 2. we weren't allowed to have fun, apparently

i feel like the meaning of irony is more lost between different generations than between autistics and allistics. like i sometimes will not get a general ironic comment someone made which i should understand, but it’s so far and between (not that i interact much) that i can count it on my fingers every month (and it’s rare enough to make me notice, but i know it’s because i’m autistic and my head is somewhere else at the moment someone makes an ironic remark).

but it’s more common for baby boomers to not catch gen z irony than for us autistic zoomers to not catch irony inside our own generational culture (whatever it is). i think it’s a bit like masking or learning allistic communication, it’s something we know how to do because we spend a lot of time perfecting it, and sometimes it just starts occurring naturally to us, like learning a new language (though we “speak” it in a different way, which is why the result of learning to mask might be catching on even more social cues than allistics normally do).

i don’t know. just something i realized. gen z is naturally more ironic so does not understanding irony even apply to autistic diagnosis anymore? being a different neurotype, i think autism and its traits manifest in different ways across cultures and times, and it’s just that white male boomer/gen x autism was observed first, so it’s what we thought it was at first.

(examples of what i struggle with include “scripted” communication and what it means, but i wouldn’t list irony among the things i specifically struggle with because i am autistic. i know i might occasionally not get irony because i’m autistic, but it’s just not a trait, it’s due to something else. though you know maybe and just maybe gen z doesn’t use irony as part of scripted communication but rather in its true, sincere form, to actually express ourselves, and it’s just that autistic boomers/gen x/gen y? can’t understand communication to convey something else, as it’s a trait of autism, not intrinsically irony, and irony is one of the tools boomers and older generations use for social cues and nothing else, so they don’t actually get irony outside of social cues. worth to note that gen z is post-ironic so yeah i don’t know how any of this is relevant to my main point follow for more ritalin takes)

-- headcanon: dante's memory is very bad even on good days where they can actually remember bits and pieces of what the other sinners are like.

it's more or less a side effect of losing their memory (plus getting clocked round the head once or twice by ishmael in the april fool's day event [midspring night's dream] ), although there may be debate on whether or not their memory was naturally always this bad, even without the head replacement, and they figured out ways to keep track of things despite it.

sometimes they forget their own name, and it scares the hell out of them. if they can't remember who they are, currently, then how the hell do they expect to remember who they were?
