@J_J_Valdez@ZeekArkham I don't live in the USA but if you rise up that's fine, but leave gays, trans people, non-believers, anyone you don't like, women can have careers and babies if they want, abortion is fine. See that's the issue you will ban porn but you will watch it and say oh god's will.

@perceptualware@realtalkcarla For example, like the other day in Bunnings (aka Walmart) the man in front something was out of stock and he just walked up in front of us and went, I want this whatever it was ordered NOW!!!. I had to bite my tongue I was ready to start yelling, but the staff handled it.
@perceptualware The Pain of Value Conflict
This goes deeper than fear. We live withย clashing values: the drive to achieve colliding with the need to feel safe, the longing for freedom battling the craving for belonging, - Values often conflict for sure.
@realtalkcarla@perceptualware It does but many just come up to you and start asking questions. It's fine in the street but when focused on a task it isn't good.
@realtalkcarla@perceptualware It's difficult not to get upset and then you end up the one with the bad mood reputation. I don't want please, but at a minimum don't come up to me and start ranting when clearly I'm engaged and focused on a task. Many on the spectrum don't like that either. It's manners too.
When autistic humans set boundaries, weโre called โrudeโ.
When we collapse without them, weโre called โweakโ.
When we mask, weโre โinspiringโ.
When we unmask, weโre โtoo muchโ.
None of these are true.
We are just trying to live.
@realtalkcarla@perceptualware The lack of manners, of going up to someone and asking a question without alerting the person is annoying to me. Example:
1. Excuse me could you please look at this document. vs
2. Look at this document
The difference is obvious but many choose option 2, that's a problem.
@realtalkcarla@perceptualware But the main one is communication. In the workplace and socially, there is an assumption you know the cultural practices of a tribe/group etc. But often one either does not or just finds the practices do not make sense to them. I have to post again to give an example.
@realtalkcarla@perceptualware All of it. It's just that every person on the spectrum might have all these things he says, but to different extents. For example, I have some sensory issues, but I have those on the spectrum who have them very bad. I can wear wool ok but they can't.
