I have very real issues performing the former due to the latter.
) on the level of others. I could memorize passages and recite them back, but when asked about themes, symbolism, or deeper meanings I was lost. Classes based on memorization or calculations were no effort. English was my own personal hell. Five-page, single-spaced, mini-dissertations on Moby Dick, Catcher in the Rye, The Great Gatsby, To Kill a Mockingbird, and any other "required reading" made me want to unalive and not just in Minecraft. NGL most of my early papers were written by Mum or others. I’d memorize them, along with a list of potential questions someone might ask, and rehearse answers like a script. Mum also made sure teachers understood my 'special needs' (think PTA Karen). My closest to genuine understanding of fiction was Flowers for Algernon probably because he didn't want to be a tard and I didn't either. There’s a particular cruelty in being sentient of your defects. I envied the profoundly 'touched' who have no awareness.
Are you sure their friends, fren?
I lean to agree on this. There’s a constant expectation for women/girls to be social. We're bombarded with “you should smile more,” “you’re so much prettier when you smile.” It's always be pleasant, kind, and approachable. I wont even go into societal lessons like "value is tied to your appearance", or "fuckability determines your worth". From a young age, via social conditioning sometimes gentle, sometimes with force we learn to interact with others. It’s typically women doing the instructing, and because they are (on average) more empathic/patient the constant explicit training works. Masking becomes second nature. I also think society infantilizes women making it is easier for us to blend.
The gift of fear. Funny that NT AND autistic girls understand this.
I come to the farms because I don’t have to hide my ’tism. Here, it roams freely. It’s my mental sperg sanctuary. You can say things here you cannot in 'polite conversation'. It’s a shame the rest of the world isn’t more like this. Mankind would be better off if people were a lot more honest.
My intent was not to offend I was trying (and failing) to compliment you in hopes to ease your valid concerns towards posting something very personal on a forum where such acts are not recommend. You are very introspective which is a skill many people lack. I was just trying to tell you how well written your post is and how informative it was.
I did not take it that way. Apologies my language can be clinical. My intent was to express "I am happy a place like this exists."
I am here with you. Mine are literal believers, and I am unable to do that. They always "pray for me" tho. Which is ok, because I and others need all the help we can get.
It is confusing and maddening. Even more so that people defend it. Children are exposed to an alarming amount of adult information/content. Kids/old people are the two groups that I come to closest to genuinely caring about. As in I would intervene if I saw something happening. I don't know if that is biologically hardwired or socially conditioned. Perhaps because I know that if I had been exposed to some of what they’re facing now, I would’ve had a massive meltdown or gone on the mother of all self-harming sprees. The picture of the little girl at a Pride parade with the Pup play degenerates angers me. The Jazz stuff is horrific. Desmond is Amazing's
Its a Netflix 'reality' show that follows autists across the spectrum while they navigate dating. A lot is cringe, but it is the first show I can remember that did not filter or gloss over the telltale signs that something is very off. It can be brutal. Seeing some of the manifestations of autism on screen can be hard to watch. Especially if you exhibit those same behaviors and work hard to
What upsets me about these scenarios is that usually the weird woman gets blamed for being, albeit naive, just a normal friendly person unlike the moid that usually can't tame himself and goes insane the moment any pussy approaches.
There was one time a guy was asking me for my socials and when I told him that I don't use Instagram or whatever, he reacted incredulously and kept trying to be all "aw c'mon, you don't need to lie so unconvincingly just to let me down nicely
" about it. But I genuinely don't have any of that junk and can't prove a negative, and it was pissing me off a little that he wouldn't believe me just because other women in the world have Instagram, as if that has anything to do with me. There have been a few times in my life where I think I made guys feel like I was derisively rejecting them in a dating context but I'm actually just autistic and usually don't want to talk to or hang out with people in general. It's not you, it's everyone.
I've always been curious how others process religion. I can see the appeal in this. I attended a baptism (naming ceremony?) at a Catholic church twice and found it fascinating. I rapid fired questions to the parents about rituals, mass (the differences), communion, and latin. So kind of a sperg out but a managed one. They hadn’t expected that sort of thing to appeal to a robot and were pleasantly surprised by my genuine interest.
I was never able to play online games. I need the solitude and would screw up any organized quests/raid by wasting time investigating landscape, cataloging ingredients, or mapping items. Currently I'm HATE playing remastered Oblivion because I am in an abusive relationship we Bethesda. We will go to Mars before TES6 is released. That being said this is awesome.
I've always wondered how our circumstance affects the ability to connect/care about animals. Some autists that I've talked to have said sensory issues and cannot deal with the feel of fur/scales.
I can understand that. There is alot of cringe in the show, but that also occurs even in NT shows. I do think this is the first time something like this where the autist is not pity object. They have actual input sometimes to their detriment, but they are allowed to be themselves flaws and all.
I have never met a couple like this and it is probably why I am fascinated by the show. Everyone I know is paired with NTs. Seeing an A4A couple would be like seeing a unicorn for me.
Every time I see A/A relationships it's just the most exhausting looking shit I've ever seen. Everybody is autistic in juuuust the right way to not mesh with the other person, so they have 500 steps to not bother the other, and if one thing is wrong it's a "we're not fighting" fight for 20 minutes. A lot of "I wish you had (over) explained that 2 weeks ago and you didn't and now I'm mad and I'm going to talk down to you about it" "actually I'm raising my voice because I'm naturally loud, not because I'm screaming at you, and also you should've known to ask 2 weeks ago, and now I'm NOT mad and that's why I'm not screaming at you," etc etc etc FOREVER EVERY DAY. I'm autistic, but goddamn in those environments I feel so neurotypical. It's like, jesus fuck do either of you know how to interact with people who can't read minds? Do either of you have any kind of interpersonal communication skills that aren't "wait until my needs aren't met then explode over something that can't be fixed"????
Jerking off to russian camwhores, day drinking, paying homeless people to have sex with you, etc..
What games do you like? You're going to have to be a bit more specific.
I dont play games often, which is why Im asking for suggestions. Hopefully something that can be played in-broweer
Do you like comedy? Slice of life? Horror? Romance? Fantasy? Espionage? Organisation? Decorating? Mystery? History? Building things? Do you like solving puzzles or do you prefer finding things? Do you like a light premise with a lot of action, or deep immersion in a complex world?
There are plenty of browser based board games like chess.com or if your girlfriend is into tactical games fumbbl is a browser based bloodbowl site.
To anyone curious why this happens:
