Every other week I come home horribly upset because someone at work keeps scolding me and I rant and rave about how I try to explain my process but she won’t listen, or I try and ask her for her process but she doesn’t understand, or I don’t get why she contradicts herself when she talks, or I stand there and just feel stupid while she nags me,

And I stop

And I go: “it’s the autism isn’t it”

And my partner, having heard this now a dozen times in three months, sighs, and tells me:

“YES”

#autism #bluestonehieroglyphs #i mean I’m relatively to this autism thing I assumed I was weird because I was under socialized not the other way around #turns out it’s almost textbook autism except I never learned the coping mechanisms #a lot of ppl figure it out in their teens but I was too busy running half marathons and being horrifically depressed to notice #and then I went to college and just found a home w what I realize now are a bunch of weirdos (affectionate)#but I am sorely unprepared for the real world neurotyoical workplace it literally drives me insane
