Tell me about it! I am a very logical thinker and if anyone asks for my advice or opinion I give it unfiltered which can upset them if it isn't what they want to hear

Very much so. Also, is there another word to describe this, because I absolutely hate that word, makes it sound like we're spoiled brats throwing a tanty and not something debilitating and uncontrollable.

This post goes on longer and gets way better...in fact I shall see if I can find it.

Deep thinkers tend towards depression. Because they know what's likely to happen.

What do you mean, you don't believe me when I tell you how much a Rabies vaccine costs when you get bit by a wild dog? (The dog was fine but the hospital bill was north of $70k #'merica.) We prepare for EVERYTHING.

Find your ADHDer. They're the bestest of friends

But we do!

Adding a reassurance helps...sometimes. With my partner, they understand that I am confused with the added reassurance. Doesn't always work though.

But I am a complete weido and very happy about it

Accurate. But: Adhd folk also tend to thrive on routine, but have problems sticking to routines.

About 98% of Covid deaths were preventable!

When I hear that... I have a great response. my allistic husband and I have exactly the same views and habits, but our reasons are totally different. Knowing those differences is why we can put up with each other on the things that make no sense to the other.

I dont think this is autistic, but a result of getting in trouble mich as a child, but you could not help it since the neuro divergent. Or other causes, like ashole parents e.d.

I know some things about infinity that will knock your socks off.

A lot of peer pressure is subtle manipulation, which we absolutely are quite susceptible to and I have seen happen a lot. There are a lot of horrible people who actively try to weaponise autistic people for their causes (eg. trans-exclusionists have actively targeted autistic people to weaponise).

I, erm, am. Probably something that should have been fostered more actually; I didn't like my classes because I often didn't understand how it was explained, but otherwise as soon as the process clicks I actually love it. I still enjoy trigonometry now that I understand it.

I don't understand body language at all, so we absolutely do not always get social cues. Of the ones that I have learned, mostly expression and some tones of voice, key word learned, I can't tell the difference between authentic and inauthentic. I also can't add many of those expressions to my face or inflections to my voice, so I do sometimes have a bit of RBF with zero eye contact and monotone delivery (I can do a brilliant villain face). The exception is strong emotion, which does express and inflect correctly.

I want to go to there

For the note: disassociation is not a wandering mind, it's a full mental disconnect, someone trying to talk to you will notice and probably freak out.

Yep. I seem to rebound off other people's emotions, even small emotional state shift in a room is very noticeable.

So true

hiiiiii '~'

Not at all. For example Rump is just a typical part of the general pattern.

Um, that's more "sociopath" than "autistic".

Most people diagnosed as autistic - aren't. "It's exhausting, burns me out and when it slips I turn into a bumbling mess" is actually neurotypical. Almost everybody is like that.

Nope.

"reserved"

"Neurotypical. I can function whenever I want". PMSL. ROFL. No, that's not neurotypical at all. That's A-HOLE.

Not autism. The opposite if anything.

Headphones are a gift.

With themselves as the main character? No. With specific characters that are not me, yes. It's a type of daydreaming, it centres your thoughts and enables sleep without the mind scattering. It how I have created the concept for several stories.

"Why can't you like normal things?"

It tastes foul and makes me babble on without control. No socialisation, just not going near the place ever again.

I feel seen

To be more precise we frequently see what others want hidden.

If you change the words "an autistic" to "a" then it's still correct.

Not intense traits, any traits.

That's not autistic. That's social anxiety. Totally different.

Very much so.

Why were you trying to hurt someone?

Welcome to dementia.

My mother was diagnosed at 58, along with two of her four older sisters and her older brother. Boys are usually just more noticeable, treated just as badly.

I have both, I have discovered how to tell them apart.

Tbf, pretty much everyone has different masks, one of which being the work mask. Seeing coworkers drop the customer service mask when someone tries to return the underwear that they are currently wearing, you know stuff is really about to go down.
