Autistic Thoughts

So, Im diagnosed with adult stage ADHD and Autism. I was raised being taught that being diagnosed with Autism would ruin my life, so I learned how to Mask really well. Unfortunately, I isolated myself for almost two years and forgot how to Mask. So now I'm trying to reintegrate into "normal" society where I have to Mask to fit in and I really need to outlet my frustrations, hopefully to someone who cares.

Massive L to our ancestors for not domesticating the Bear for the ultimate friend

[fortooate]

i sympathize with the post on the one hand but also ‘man we shoulda domesticated bears’ has the same energy as a divorced dad being like ‘i should have married that girl from high school’ when the girl in question was never ever interested and also turned out to be a lesbian frontwoman for an obscure but respected ska revival band

You know Ronald Weasley is fucking adorable. When someone's upset he makes them tea because that's what his mom does.

why is it that my brain is more useless than a beached jellyfish until I've been awake long enough to need to remember to breathe?

Brain after a well rounded restful 8 how sleep: "there's no reason you need to get up and eat, were comfy. besides you ate like... a whole taco yesterday youre fine. stfu stomach."

Brain after 72 hours of solid activity sane no rest: : "LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO! WE GOTTA PLAN A WHOLE DIET AND EXERCISE REGIME THAI YOU'LL NEVER ACTUALITY COMMIT TO!!!! SELF IMPROVEMENT! *snorting line of pure motivation* FUCK YAAAHH!"

Also brain : *concerned *" hey hey, why arent you breathing??, inhale, INHALE!... hey now, dont forget to exhale"

like, wtf.

Saying ‘don’t take advice from me’ is a paradox

[autisticandstoned]

I feel like Im dying. Ben working almost all day non-stop, and lose no sleep over the past 48 hours, and I'm pretty sure the last time I had a decent meal was almost a week ago. I haven't been able to eat or sleep because I'm depressed and stressed, and my upper back is spasming my lower back has a sway in it. And all of my co-workers can say is "you're too young to have these health problems." After SHE ASKED what was wrong.

Well FUCK you Diane toy ills crochet bitch. You may be drastically older than me but who are you to tell me what I'm too young to feel? You don't know what I've been through. Yeah I'm 23 with the skeleton of an octogenarian, but that's as a result of my foster family withholding calcium from me while I was on birth control. As a result I've broken almost every bone in my body. So of course having zero fuel to burn, Zero Energy saved, I'm going to be in fucking pain. Fuck you, keep your goddamn opinion to yourself.

Hey, um, it feels really not savvy to admit this but I have absolutely no idea how to use Discord. I would love it if somebody could give me a step-by-step how to use Discord for out-of-touch dummies LOL. Wandering the app for like 20 minutes trying to figure it out please help.

It almost appears i have to already have friends which is a bummer

With a history written in Blood and a Legacy carved in Stone, There is no greater will to survive than that of the Irish

I am a 7th gen Irish-American, and I have a deep burning pride in my Irish roots.

But, everything that I know about the hardships of my ancestors, other than the potato famine, I learned after graduating high school. It was a song called "Far Away Boys" by Flogging Molly that enlightened me to the strife of Irish immigrants building the railroads, that the Workforce on the Pacific Union Railway comprised mostly of Irish immigrants. I was taught all about the civil rights movement, African-American slave trade, the persecution and genocide of native Americans repeatedly year after year. I knew nothing about the abuse of the Chinese and Irish railroads until I asked my dad what the song was talking about. He told me that its estimated that there are 2 dead Chinese workers and one dead Irishman for every mile of the Union Pacific railway. Why didnt I learn this in school?? We celebrated Saint Patrick's Day with green and pinching and leprechauns and adults use it as an excuse to get wasted "like an irishman", but we never learned about what real Irish heritage is, we don't have a day to celebrate being Irish, and nobody understands why we want to, because our history isn't widly taught inn America.

I don't know if I can call it erasure, I feel like I'm not allowed to be offended by my ancestors toils being disregarded. Why cant I? Why is my heritage ignored? I think I know why and it makes me sick, because... well... we're white, and if I am offended because my hetritage isnt deemed important, I will be accused of racism, or accused of 'white pride '. If I'm wrong about that, please correct me. Im not a racist, i dont think I'm beret than you and its not mt complexion i have pride in. I dont want royalties, I dont want apologies, all I want... is for my proud ancestors to be known foe what they were, a resilient, strong people who could survive anything. Not drunk little midgets with a cussing problem. I want my heritage to be celebrated too.

A group of female and non-binary adventurers go around exploiting poorly worded curses/prophecies/enchantments proclaiming that “no man” shall do this or that thing.

“Most autistic people who are capable of formulating questions have frequently experienced the following scenario: We ask for information that we need in order to prepare ourselves for a new experience. Instead of answering our questions, NT people tell us that we don’t need to ask these questions at all. We just need to relax and stop being so anxious. The fact is that being able to ask questions, and getting clear answers to our questions, and thus knowing what to expect, are often the very things autistic people need in order to be able to relax and not be anxious. Asking a lot of questions about the details of a situation is usually not a “maladaptive behavior” that increases an autistic person’s anxiety. More often it’s an adaptive strategy that an autistic person is using to reduce anxiety or to prevent being in an anxiety-provoking situation in the first place. It’s very important for us to have thorough explanations and ample opportunities to ask questions.”

Yes! Please, Please put this on blast. I have family who "don't believe in autism" so when i stay recovering this behavior and i get: "you're fine" "so worrying, it's gonna be great" "uuugh! stop being such a pussy" as a response just .... ouch tbh. unfortunately, this is not just exhibition of ASL, but also of many different anxiety disorders. I have both adult stage asl and generalized anxiety disorder, and I know that the only way for me to go into a new situation confidently is if I am fully aware of all the details of the situation I am walking into. I am reassured that I will not be surprise in an unfamiliar environment, and I'll be more relaxed knowing what to expect to happen next.

World’s Best Dad mugs are a much more passive aggressive gesture with same-sex parents.

Most people have trouble understanding how anyone could stay in an abusive relationship, but no one ever questions staying at a job they hate.
