I impressed a former boss beyond all reasonable bounds when I interrupted his rant about the stupid. clumsy, criminally negligent, worthless movers who had broken the feed tray on a (very expensive) printer and told him that I was actually the one who broke it.

Two questions.
Do you notice a big difference in written communication as compared to direct face to face with NTs?
Are there certain people you can communicate with at a MUCH higher rate of exchange ? Like a simultaneous info dump that feed off each other?
btw my nickname in the house is captain tangent and the info dump glee and 'honesty to a fault' is very familiar.

Q1. Definitely
Q2. Definitely. Communication with people highly interested & knowledgeable about the subject of the conversation is at a really rewarding level.
And, yeah tangential connections that other people can't recognize or understand are a specialty π€£π If people let me explain >>how<< the stuff is connected they get it... but π€·ββοΈ Most people aren't interested in how connected / inter-related stuff is...
Watch from the very beginning of the "racial brawl" and you see it was *everyone* against maga racists. Making it white vs. black is just them trying to divide us. MAGA RACISTS are the enemy of ALL DECENT FOLKS, ALWAYS. #montgomery #fascism #alabama #solidarity
My inner dialogue has drastically changed. Thatβs what my late dx did for me. I donβt have this unkind internal voice like I used to have. A kinder me is speaking now. A forgiving me voice. How life changing inside my own mind that is. From the inside outβ¦beautiful change that does not scare me for once. #gratitude #autism #adhd #differentnotbroken #internalvoice
If you tell me youβre an alpha Iβm going to assume you mean like the radiation: incredibly weak, struggles to achieve penetration, but when it does it causes incredible amounts of long term damage.

It makes complete sense, to me. Remote they get small snippets of me, through e-mail (which I can re-read, edit, and re-write as many times as I need before I send) or when I'm being "presentable" in remote meetings, but can relax the rest of the time. They see what I do, not who/what I am, and I'm not overwhelmed trying to figure out what they really meant when they said...
@dukeoffailure @actuallyautistic Iβve worked in office with teammates who I just barely got along with, and at home for the past 3 years. I, weirdly, feel more like Iβm connected to my team when Iβm not forced to be physically there with them. If that makes sense.
There is a third possible option:
3) We've paid attention, saw him try to overthrow the government of our country on nationally broadcast TV, and are willing to accept the "alleged" crap until the trial is over, because that's how these things work, but know damned well what he did, and are waiting for accountability.
I made a big step today towards something I donβt really want but Iβm so panicked about my life that I had to do SOMETHING.
OK last announcement.
If you live in *Ohio* you should have voted "no" by now. But, if you haven't you still have till the end of Aug 8th! Time to search up your poll site and get going!
(But, don't feel bad if this referendum caught you off guard, Ohio Republicans are hoping no one will show up to vote.)
Vote NO on issue 1. It's a strange constitutional amendment that changes the threshold to make it possible for a small group to veto everything. It's the only thing on the ballot.

The FBI reopened its case briefly against Hillary over her emails just weeks before the election, and Trump didnβt call it βELECTION INTERFERENCE.β

You both realize this started with a misunderstanding, and everything since could have been avoided by just asking for a clarification, right?
I'll relay a story a friend of mine just told me.
She was at the store and noticed security had detained a person. They were going through a backpack and acussing the person of stealing cans of food. My friend went up to them and pretended to know the person. She then said "I was going to pay for these items, I must've forgot, let's go pay for them now" security reluctantly allowed her to pay for the persons items and let him go.
$22.00, was the cost to feed someone and keep them out of jail.

So true! I recently ran low on kitty kibble so decided to sub in a few doggy nuggets. They were gone before the actual cat stuff!
We've always lived with multiple animals in the house, and they all had the same rule:
