#i might just be autistic though

[failing-at-failing]

Never will I forget the time an old man came into my work, and I went through my usual set of small talk and at the end of it he was like "Do you want to know an animal fact?" And IM INSANE ABOUT ANIMALS- SO of course I was like "Yes, please!" So he tells me the fastest animal in the world is a Panther. And that is just wrong? Even if you look at mammals, i think he meant a cheetah? He's in the middle of giving me a Google review and I of course think "well he obviously is miss guided, and as a fellow animal lover, he will want to know the correct answer! So I tell him the correct answer, and he looks so stunned, and then HE DELETES HIS REVIEW INFRONT OF ME!! I'll never forget you sir, and you false animal knowledge love. Is you masculinity truely that injured to be corrected once?

Y'all I just watched Jaiden Animations' video about learning she has ADHD and man... some of that stuff just hit me hard. The having to tie yourself down to work, the being relatively okay in school until college, the wondering if a doctor would just say, "It's a you problem, go away"—geez that resonated. I'm glad she finally got a diagnosis and Adderall and learned how to work best with herself though! I hope things start to turn out better for her as time goes on

sometimes people who struggle like to make jokes or find positives about their condition that causes them to struggle so they can escape the constant negative and struggle. sometimes autistic people will say things like "the 'tism" or use the "autism creature" or say their autism helped them have a *positive trait* to feel better about their struggles. because living your life only focusing on the struggles and negatives is depressing and makes it hard to want to live, even if those struggle take up 100% of your life and you can't actually escape them. sometimes any little seemingly positive thing can help a lot.

but there's so many other autistic people that hate when we do that and call it "reducing autism to a cute trendy thing" and say it takes away from *their* struggles and is bad and shouldn't be used. maybe *you* want to only focus on your struggles, but some people can't live in constant negative and need some positive or to find ways to make their condition more positive so they can feel better about living with their struggles. life is hard. I take anything I can get.

I cant get jobs. I can't make and keep friends. I can't get help and support for doing "normal" things so sometimes I go weeks without being able to shower and without eating more than a bowl of cereal a day. most times can't even do things I like. struggle to communicate. have meltdowns. i'll never be able to live independently. I struggle a lot. but instead of sitting here always depressed and having no motivation to live, i'd rather try to joke about "my 'tism is acting up again" when i'm struggling (just an example. don't think I ever actually used the 'tism thing but i saw others use it) or say "i'm just being a creature" when I need to stay in my dark room because everything is too much and I personally find it cute to be a little creature meant in a positive way. i'm not actually downplaying mine or anyone else's struggles. I still acknowledge them and that silly jokes dont make them go away. i'm not trying to be trendy. i'm not doing any of the things people say we do by making silly little jokes. i'm using the silly little jokes to convince myself life can be a little more than pointless, painful garbage all the time.

Tbh the only way to write me as a fictional character is to give me Autistic Rizz and then make a running gag out of the fact that people keep falling for me when I absolutely do not want that. Need at least one gif of tiny low quality me going "BWAAAH?!?!!" and my arms windmilling as I stumble backwards from a love confession. Need the style to briefly become graphite horror manga after someone says "Vibes, there's something I need to tell you...". Et Cetera. And they all fall for me explicitly because I enthusiastically engage with their infodumps.

here to teach you tone tags as i whole heartedly belive they would fix your autistic ass

these are things you add onto the end of a sentence online so someone can read teh tone of the sentence cuz that can be difficult to convey online

/j = joking /srs = being serious /hj = half joking /pos = in a positive way /neg = in a negative way /sarc or /s = being sarcastic /nf = not forced or no pressure

those r all teh ones i can think of YOU'RE WELCOME

I’m literally too old to have ‘Autism’ but okay.

But- nevertheless, thanks for explaining. I can finally understand what you people are saying.

just randomly remembered that during my like 10+ attempts at the shadow yukiko fight i more or less consistently ran out of revival beads so yosuke was just dead (well unconscious but whatever) on the ground for like half the fight gfhfjvhfhfhd-

this might seem like a kinda weird shout but just give me a sec ok..

is Jamie Tartt autistic?

like his internalisation of certain things he's been taught (both neg from his dad and later more helpful from ted, sharon, Roy the team, etc)... his unusual understanding of social stuff... taking things very literally... his facts and almost stimmy bounciness that have only really started to show up since he's felt a little more safe and loved.... correcting 'ironic' like nah I'm being hypocritical.... like...

idk maybe I'm way off base but my autieHDar has been pinging... anyone else??

i'm rewatching hannibal and its such a rich portrait of the infantilisation (yet also exploitation) of autistic adults. like will graham really is out here fighting for autonomy and peer respect and mutual empathy and just a goddamn ounce of understanding and he's doing it all while his brain is cooking in its own juices and his new best friend/therapist is trying to figure out if he wants to fuck him, kill him, eat him, or all three but if so which order.

It's funny how long lasting base coat and top coat won't stop Essie polishes from chipping the next day, meanwhile I have to soak my nails with clips three(!) times total to be rid of all the Holo Taco polish, and can go for two whole weeks before the first tiny chips start to appear + seven days without base or top coat!

need to be so fr for a second I was always hesitant to watch Gundam because I wanted to be daring and be a mecha fan to not watch the big stuff but also Gundam fans legitimately fucking scare me with how they can get but I’m glad I now seen the light and watched like- 3 eps of G Gundam this is good graaaaah
