Google how to stop thinking about fictional character at the function

[autisticlee]

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.

Being ace* and having sex as a special interest is so fun. Like yes let’s do it for science. Experimenting in the bedroom with a lab report, peer reviewed article and a control group.

Oh!!! I was the one who asked about age. I wanted to invite you to the discord server. SADLY, you're too young so you can't go to our nightclub 😔 (I'd suspected it before that you were young so I wanted to make sure pff)

But I suppose you can let this mean whenever you're old enough you can jump in! >:) ... Just not for now 🔫‼️

IM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!! Alas, time has beaten me to the punch once again…. 💔💔

Not otherkin but I believe in their beliefs almost solely bcos describing tender actions as 'human' ticks me off. 'The act of impulsive communal creation is so human' ywah well I bet some lizards could do that. And pretty well too

[mars-ipan]

honestly i don’t really think any mental illnesses have been like “destigmatized”- not fully at least. i think the stigma has just changed from demonization to “that’s not a real problem get over it god”

[transgender-scout]

[thatskindasapphic]

Note for Writers that have ADHD and/or Autism:

It is okay if your conversations go off course from the main topic that it was supposed to, or if it just trails off, since that is how Normal Conversations™️ work in the real world.

It’s really interesting to look back and see how those conversations evolved from topic to topic- I’ve typically noticed it’s by someone referring to something that reminds them of the current topic. Or something happens elsewhere and they start commenting on it.

On the other side, conversations trailing off isn’t a sign of the people not liking each other (though it often can be), it might just be that they ran out of topics to talk about and are just chilling together in silence. When I think of it like that, I like to imagine two southern farmers sitting out on the porch, watching the fields, just sitting around on rocking chairs, occasionally commenting on something happening in front of them, but just chillin’ together in silence. ”Companionable Silence”, this is called. “Awkward Silence” is when two people run out of topic to talk about but still want to talk about something, but don’t have the courage to actually say something, so it’s just unresolved tension in the air until something happens or they leave unsatisfied.

imagine being like. human. i'm just a silly little creature. happy cryptid. occasionally a very sad cryptid who ponders its own existence and questions his sanity but. that's mostly during the winter months. we do not speak of the winter months. except for the fact that we are in them and. fuck never mind. i just need some tea and a bit of will wood to ensure my serotonin levels go back to normal and i can be. happy cryptid

If anyone was wondering, I was not able to successfully parlay this into becoming my spouse's first-watch of Cowboy Bebop.

Which feels like it might be a shame honestly, but since I can't tell if they'd get into it or if they'd never be able to get past the medium itself, there's no way to know if the unkillable shame of existing is cheating us both out of something cool or sparing me the grotesque humiliation of trying to drag a loved-one through whatever cringe nonsense you manage to enjoy.

Alex's styling is impeccable tonight.
