@NoNonsenseND@AdamMGrant I don’t hear words. I see pictures. When I read, my mind creates a movie in the background. So when I think about a book, I just watch that movie again.
@Autistic_Lauren I get bored with it. Watching football is like watching angry turtles bash into each other over a piece of kibble.
I enjoy playing hockey but can’t sit and watch a game.
@Autistic_Lauren Nothing really “new”. But I don’t suppress them anymore. So they’ve just become more noticeable. Like stimming. I finger-twitch when I’m thinking. It looks like I’m swiping tabs on a phone. My mind works like that kid who sees radio waves from the show Alphas. Watch his hands.
@Autistic_Lauren Ear buds. Music (usually Halocene and Van Halen). And cleaning the house just to give my hands something to do.
My family knows if I have earbuds in, don’t bother talking to me. Just stay out of my way for awhile.
@Autistic_Lauren In short bursts it’s fine. But longer than 5 seconds feels like a threat.
I try to avoid doing it myself because I’ve been told it’s like I’m staring into their soul.
@shahroztweeets Women are more intelligent most of the time. But men are better at using that intelligence efficiently.
Translation: women have bigger hard drives. Men have more RAM and updated drivers.
@ADHDForReal With music, no. But I’ll get full movies playing in my head on repeat. Usually more than one. Throw in a few YouTube clips randomly. Inside my head looks like that matrix scene with the architect.
@chiriya_speaks Leaving the situation. I have a long fuse, but it’s attached to a nuke. Best thing I can do is move ground zero as far away as I can and reset the fuse.
@thenostalgic No. My hair annoys the hell out of me. It only looks good really long or buzzed short. Can’t control it with gel either. It just goes where it wants.
@Red_wine02 Because we have everything to lose and nothing to gain. Sure Prenups exist. But I’ve seen relationships fall apart because the woman wouldn’t sign it. “If you don’t trust me then we shouldn’t get married”. Plus divorce law is rigged so the man almost always gets screwed.
@Autistic_Lauren During a panic attack, yes. But the same thing happens when I’m royally pissed off. It’s like all my processing power moves from dialogue to combat targeting. Bottom line, If I stop talking, you’re in trouble.
