"Well, my past is a holy book, a call from Olympus, ringing off the hook."

y’all ever remember something extremely embarrassing and just feel horrible about it

Pro Tip: Try to think of something embarrassing some else has done. You probably can't. Which means no one else remembers the cringe thing you did.

i come from the universe where everything is the same except disney heroines get like an ounce of their fathers' obviously dominant genes and their clothes are like 80% more historically accurate. it's beautiful here.

I think some of you forgot that autistic people sometimes act strange and say things that are poorly worded and speak with incorrect tone and misunderstand or miss social cues because they are autistic

status-quo-hater

"I love autistic people" until the autistic person speaks too loud and you think they should be mocked because they didn't perform a social interaction correctly

"You can't blame everything on your autism you're just being an asshole"

Actually yes I can. Most of the time people think I am being an asshole/rude/insensitive because I use the same cadence for everything because it is the one I know best (monotone, and often interpreted as slightly sarcastic), I learned to speak mostly by mimicking my father. I talk like that because I have autism. I also have trouble determining what to say to people who are upset, and I often end up making it worse because of my low empathy, even though I genuinely care I often come off as accidentally antagonistic. (An example that comes to mind is sending a friend in elementary school pictures of cute dogs to cheer them up after their dog unexpectedly died in a freak accident. This did Not help.)

So yes I literally can blame "being an asshole" on my autism. If I said something wrong, maybe tell me what I did so I can avoid it? Idk. I guess I'm just a Rude Unpleasant Person Forever.

Honestly if someone can't distinguish "good intentions but struggling to communicate" from "being an asshole" that's a them problem not an autism problem. It's amazing how allistic people are sooooo good at empathy right up until an autistic person is obviously trying their fucking best and might need a crumb of support to be understood.
