“You don’t look autistic.”

Yeah that’s because I spent 30+ years studying humans like a wildlife documentary so I could fucking blend in.

The autistic experience of being genuine & thinking you had a real connection with someone — only to find out after a significant amount of time that it was one-sided & they actually just thought you were weird.

Late-realized neurodivergence is looking back at your whole life and thinking, “Oh. That’s why.”

Over and over and over again.

Person: “You’ve always been so independent.”

Autistic person: “No. I just learned not to ask for help.”

Person: “Why?”

Autistic person: “Because needing support was treated like a character flaw.”

Late diagnosed autism is realizing everybody else was not rehearsing conversations, mentally preparing to leave the house, getting overwhelmed by noise and needing a recovery day after being social.

[Fav ⛧ @Favwontmiss]

The real neurodivergent experience is being told you’re overthinking by people who communicate entirely through implication.

Level 1 Autism means you don’t get accommodations because you don’t look like you need them and you spend the rest of your energy proving everyone right at your own expense

People with autism & ADHD age late. We do things late. Our frontal lobe doesn’t develop until our mid 30s in many cases (as opposed to the neurotypical norm of age 25). We also have baby faces & childlike mannerisms for life while somehow possessing the wisdom of an ancient sage.

Any complex waveform, sound, or shape can be perfectly reconstructed as the sum of simple rotating circles (epicycles).

💾😂 It’s actually wild that Gen Z has never experienced the pure serotonin of watching MS-DOS DEFRAG do its little block dance.

Your 4GB 386 is choking on life? Just run DEFRAG and stare at it like it’s 1993 Netflix.

Don’t fight the hypnosis… become one with the pixels.😵‍💫

It’s no coincidence birdsong regulates our nervous systems & lowers cortisol. Birdsong is how birds announce the area is free from predators. They don’t just signal safety to fellow birds, they signal to the entire ecosystem. The human brain attuned to this signal over centuries.
