That... makes sense when you take other neurotypical people into account.

I experienced situations similar to the elevator thing were people started machinery where a sign clearly said they shouldn't.

Which is also why in many industrial settings, workers have a personal lock they can put on a switch when repairing something. Because just writing a sign means that someone else will try to start the machine anyway.

@dirtyoldtown That is a lesson I learned after I came out the first time. Most of them are so utterly clueless they have no idea how contorted we can be inside. They’ll notice when we misstep a cue but if we’re reeeeallly good at #masking they just have no clue, and are confused even more if we tell them what was really going on. @ScottSoCal @wakame @fidalgo @actuallyautistic

@ScottSoCal oh man yes. Or replaying and reconsidering every part of an interaction after to second guess everything I said in case I need to apologize or just feel awkward about it. 🤣 @dirtyoldtown @wakame @fidalgo @actuallyautistic

@btaroli @ScottSoCal @wakame @fidalgo @actuallyautistic I'm so tired being told I am "verbal for an autistic person." I mean, YEAH, I sound fine to you because I spend every waking hour practicing human interaction to the extent that I'm exhausted after a half day. But I sound like a weirdo to you the moment I am called upon to say something I have not practiced 37x.

@ScottSoCal @wakame @btaroli @fidalgo @actuallyautistic Oh god yes. My entire adult life is divided into situations I prepared for endlessly and am told I am very well-spoken and intelligent for based on my reaction and things I had not foreseen that make me react like an alien and everyone wonders what precisely my deal even is.

"Wow, this is an unforeseen situation. Let me react in the moment without apprehension or anxiety about misspeaking."

@btaroli @ScottSoCal @fidalgo @actuallyautistic
I would love to have a show called e.g. "Normal Person" that stereotypes neurotypical behaviors.
Maybe with some explanations why the NT behave like they do.

@ScottSoCal yeah, I totally get what you’re saying. I flip between liking it lost my and truly loathing the portrayal. It feels A LOT like how other #marginalized groups are portrayed in media: harmful #stereotypes that the #mainstream finds amusing or familiar. It’s for #ratings really. It’s not to educate or expand minds. #ActuallyAutistic #TheGoodDoctor @fidalgo @actuallyautistic

#SoRelatable. I have several times tried to explain this idea to ppl by saying "a group of people are talking about Game of Thrones...I chime in with "I like the color of the dragons' eyes." #Nonsequitor #OnlyPartiallyInContext
Anyone else think the character Luna Lovegood (from Harry Potter) is on scale???

I am no expert but this looks like a blatant fake. I have been unable to find any evidence anywhere that he had a golden carriage ride. If he had, it would have been all over the major news outlets with plenty of credible photos.

@doggle @MarmadukeCWest @ScottSoCal @VoxofGod @terminalimpala @actuallyautistic There is a robin who comes by every evening to shriek at us for covering up the spot she used to nest with lawn fabric.

@MarmadukeCWest @ScottSoCal @VoxofGod @terminalimpala @actuallyautistic a crow once got me to move my boat after I obviously had moored up in a spot he 'owned'.

How?

By pecking loudly on the window early each morning.

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics Most of my clothes are +5 years old, many are almost 20 years. I don't get bored with what I wear. BUT my clothes must be neat and in good condition. I mend them, clean them with care, dye faded clothes back into their original color in washing machine if possible, and may take them to seamstress for repairing if need be.

IMO, really wearing out an item of clothing is not easy if you take good care of it.

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic When I bought my house I bought 2 bookshelves so I could have my own library. As a blind person I never owned a physical book until I was a teenager because books were too expensive to own in braille and I borrowed from the library only. So now I have a house full of books and I am proud none of them are in print so when sighted hearing people enter my house they can't read any of my books unless they know braille😁😈
