I finally watched Young Sheldon and I actually enjoyed it. It's very relatable and quite heart-warming. I'm rewatching Big Bang Theory now and I feel like Y.S. is less exaggerated & more authentic. I could only wish all autistic kids have such a patient & loving mother as Mary 💖

@AutisticCallum_ Omg? Have I been doing this without realising??

[Desy with AuDHD ✨ @ADHDesy]

@dingus_khan_TG @AutisticCoach_ This would be my answer too!

Are you the kind of texter who sends 5 long paragraphs or a gazillion consecutive texts?

Could ADHD be either style? #AskADHD

@AutisticCoach_ This reminds me of when people say that they can tell an essay or message is written by AI because it sounds robotic, but actually it was written by autistic people. They think there's no way an actual human would write like that, it must have been written by a robot.

@forestvanslyke I really want to be able to drive as it'll open up opportunities for me to get to places without asking my partner to drive me, like a ukulele club or a choir or a crafting workshop. Public transport links are terrible in my area which is really limiting.

@forestvanslyke The gears I'm getting the hang of it. I wanted to give up and switch to auto many times but I'm getting good at it now! Don't get me wrong I still often forget what gear I'm in so I have to look and check. Or sometimes unsure if I should change my gear down. But it's a process!

Which makes me wonder, is that how NT folks perceive me? Am I rude and condescending? I know autistic folks are misunderstood all the time but I'd hate to think that anybody thinks of me as rude, heck I would bow down and apologise for that! It's just... it just feels awful.

#AskingAutistics how many of you have autistic friends?

Is it possible for two autistic people to not get along at all? I feel like some autistics in my life have been extremely rude and condescending to me, which is heartbreaking because I thought they'd make a good friend.

[Desy with AuDHD ✨ @ADHDesy]

@RainyJardin @melaniefoxfire @AutisticCallum_ Me too

[Desy with AuDHD ✨ @ADHDesy]

Me: I wish I had friends
Also me: *literally incapable of having friends because everyone seems to be out to hurt me*

@thisone0verhere I love this so much 😭 What a gouda story 💖

[Desy with AuDHD ✨ @ADHDesy]

@AutisticCallum_ Is it possible for two autistic people to misunderstand each other because of this? On one hand I can understand this phenomenon, but on the other hand I really really hate when people talk to me like I'm stupid
