@amboinreallife This would utterly consume me.

[Devon Price @drdevonprice]

I wish neurotypical people didn't believe that real time, face to face interactions are inherently more genuine and intimate than interactions that occur with time delays or via text.

@ADHDelaide It's so obnoxious to comment on other people's refusal to eat certain foods. Mind your own business.

[Adelaide @ADHDelaide]

"I don't like this food"
"But it's so good!"

Wow, I suddenly like it now, such useful insight, please tell me again how good it is

@ADHDelaide Also, "Ohhh, it's expensive and fancy, thanks for explaining, now I get it!" I seriously think people eat garbage because it's expensive and fancy and when I refuse to eat it they're shocked. Some people would eat dirt if everyone else was doing it.

@vvictorman_uel How? Do you have a button I can push? Or can we do it online now?

@awesomebrandi Can you be my parent please!? I'll be SO good, I promise.

[English prof can't spell or type @gotphdforwhynow]

@awesomebrandi I love this! Also, recognize that "clean" is relative and subjective and what 1 person thinks is "clean" the other person can experience as having a rando organizational schema imposed upon them. Like, I put this on the floor because I want it to be on the floor so get over it.

@Mel_AlienAu Entering a Walmart feels like exiting a spaceship onto an alien planet because it's so overwhelmingly massive and the air feels that foreign and toxic for all the reasons you mentioned.

@Kirsty_H220 @ItsEmilyKaty My niece has LOVED to line things up for as long as she's been able to do so and she's ultra-allistic (if there were such a thing).
Maybe some day in the future science will uncover some new information revealing that lining things up is just fun?

@ElizaBeaHD Relatable! I guess I'll be paying for commercial-free Hulu for the rest of my life because I can't sleep without "Golden Girls" playing and if it stops I will wake up.

@AutSciPerson Same, "I often don't have immediate outward emotional reactions to bad things happening. In the moment I might just be completely silent with a stoic face," but also every time I express my emotions it makes things worse, yet NTs get optimal results from doing so. I don't get it.

when my parents fight it feels exactly the same as it did when i was a little kid like being an adult has zero impact

@AnAutieAtUni Also: I'll have to shower after the walk, but what if I can't get myself to shower & then I have to go to bed sweaty? Will I also have to wash my hair? Do I want to wash my hair? Maybe I should wait for a day when I already want to wash my hair and then go for a walk that day...

[English prof can't spell or type @gotphdforwhynow]

@AnAutieAtUni What if I have to go to the bathroom?
What if these wrong shoes start to hurt?
What if it rains?
What if I'm supposed to be at work right now?
I'd better look at my phone for a couple hours first to do necessary research and make sure I'm not forgetting anything just in case.

@neurodivergen13 It's super aggressive and I seriously don't get why they want it or like it. I suspect it's just a custom they've normalized, rather than something they actually enjoy, but who knows what they're thinking.

[English prof can't spell or type @gotphdforwhynow]

@AjratYllek Yes!!

[English prof can't spell or type @gotphdforwhynow]

@AutSciPerson Oh, I didn't see it anyway. 🙂
I often don't express myself that clearly, but I guess we're all used to being misunderstood regularly #ActuallyAutistic
Also last time forgot to add #StopTheShock !!!!!
