I’ve been thinking a lot about kissing lately.
People who make friends easily - who can read people easily and fit in with them - who have so many friends they can pick and choose between them - have no idea.
This is focused on my experience as an autistic person but probably applies to some NT people as well.
I know people who are autistic (or who I suspect are autistic having got a radar for it over the years) who go to every damn Meetup there is, have probably met half the town, but none of these people wave at them when they arrive somewhere, or like their social media posts, or take ten seconds to say “Sorry, I’m busy” in response to a party invitation, even if it’s that person’s birthday.
Autistic people who are nice, polite, make jokes, listen intently, remember things people like and ask them about them, try as hard as they can, and yet I watch neurotypicals respond in the “Let’s keep this polite and short” tone used between service people and customers, and afterward cringe and roll their eyes.
I consider myself lucky because I do have groups of friends, but I can’t count how many times somebody makes a throwaway reference to other conversations or events, and I realise everyone’s closer to each other than they are to me. I will never find out why.
And as for love, that seems like something for other people.
Anyway, if you are someone to whom friendship comes very easy, please know how fortunate you are.
MBTI Mysterycore Aesthetics
ISTJ: lab coats and autopsies of the not-quite-human, rows of silver file cabinets, footsteps echoing down cavernous sterile hallways, humming tape recorders, unintelligible whispers from inside the walls.
ESTJ: dark trench coats and black coffee, “What we need is evidence,” polaroids on cork board, caution tape, untraceable phone calls, flickering street lights, skepticism, secret meetings in rainy alleyways.
INFP: black highways stretching into the night, screech-owl calls, baggy brown flannels, ominous religious billboard, unexplained cases of arson, a great once-buried force now rising from the earth.
ENFP: off-limit areas in state parks, rings of glowing mushrooms, cabins filled with faded maps and unsettling taxidermy, caves lined with crystals, walkie talkies, the silhouette of unidentifiable antlers.
ISTP: ominous cable towers stretching into a blood red sunset, picking locks, beat up converse and scraped knuckles, trespassing in abandoned factories and finding secret tunnels connecting the town.
ESTP: missing person newspaper headlines, the feeling of being watched in a fluorescent midnight diner, summer storms, shady local politicians with greasy smiles, novelty ties, and bloody secrets.
ESFJ: bicycles with baskets, befriending loners who see ghosts, pep-talks and first aid kits, bouquets in graveyards, Ouija board sleepovers, lying hand-in-hand on a blanket stargazing for signs of UFOs.
ISFJ: secret treehouses where time is just a little different, shoe-boxes full of old coins no one can identify, saddle shoes, pinkie promises, rescuing strange animals you found by the train tracks
INTJ: specimens in formaldehyde and stolen classified documents, telepathic abilities, government surveillance, erasing your old identity, knowing too much, hiding out in a lighthouse until the time is right.
ENTJ: letterman jackets and restlessness, dreaming of flying, meteor crashes, taking home pieces of glowing space debris, calling the press, “Don’t you understand! This could change everything!”
ISFP: charcoal sketches of shadowy figures, porcelain dolls, sleepwalking into abandoned buildings, prophetic dreams, cornfields at midnight, attic rooms visible only to you, “ No one ever believes me.”
ESFP: eerie late August carnivals, fucking with things that absolutely should not be fucked with and then getting tempted by dark forces, chaotic split-lip grins, breaking curses, standing your ground.
INFJ: boarded-up Victorian houses consumed by ivy, gardens of poisonous plants, typewriter keys and piles of unread manuscripts, knowing all of this has happened before, taking secrets to the grave.
ENFJ: spiral notepads and yellow pencils behind the ear, interviewing local hermits, speaking up at town hall meetings, justice for the restless dead, making powerful enemies of faceless men in dark suits.
INTP: ‘70s science fiction paperbacks and striped tee-shirts, clay models of alien spacecraft, broken glasses, chalkboard equations, creaking swingset chains, strange spinning lights above the suburbs.
ENTP: abandoned hospitals and EMF meters, notebooks filled with illegible equations, knowing everyone else in town calls you crazy, esoteric texts in dead languages, portals to other dimensions.

Joe Biden on Donald Trump:
“It’s hard to get any word in with this CLOWN” 🤡
For you or someone you care about.
““Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. This most of all: ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple “I must,” then build your life in accordance with this necessity; your whole life, even into its humblest and most indifferent hour, must become a sign and witness to this impulse. Then come close to Nature. Then, as if no one had ever tried before, try to say what you see and feel and love and lose… …Describe your sorrows and desires, the thoughts that pass through your mind and your belief in some kind of beauty - describe all these with heartfelt, silent, humble sincerity and, when you express yourself, use the Things around you, the images from your dreams, and the objects that you remember. If your everyday life seems poor, don’t blame it; blame yourself; admit to yourself that you are not enough of a poet to call forth its riches; because for the creator there is not poverty and no poor, indifferent place. And even if you found yourself in some prison, whose walls let in none of the world’s sounds – wouldn’t you still have your childhood, that jewel beyond all price, that treasure house of memories? Turn your attentions to it. Try to raise up the sunken feelings of this enormous past; your personality will grow stronger, your solitude will expand and become a place where you can live in the twilight, where the noise of other people passes by, far in the distance. - And if out of this turning-within, out of this immersion in your own world, poems come, then you will not think of asking anyone whether they are good or not. Nor will you try to interest magazines in these works: for you will see them as your dear natural possession, a piece of your life, a voice from it. A work of art is good if it has arisen out of necessity. That is the only way one can judge it.””

this thread is so worth checking out - it’s actually pretty frightening how perfectly he mimics the language and tone of right wing/conservatives or basically the entire White House right now.
When you perfect satire to the point were it could pass as the original
An Autism mood is using all of your spoons on your special interest
I'm very tempted to give my inaccessable school a piece of my mind. They claim that they cater to the needs of disabled and neurodivergent students, but I only have one class that is actually accessable. Ableds and neurotypicals have no idea what accessability actually is unless they listen to disabled and neurodivergent people. I can guarantee that something you think is accessable is, in fact, not.
im either hyper aware of every emotion going in around me but unable to reciprocate them or completely oblivious. no in between
i think the thing about autism and transgender identity has less to do with autism warping self-perception and more to do with the gender stereotypes forced onto us as children. “pink is for girls!” “but what if i like this character, even though it’s pink?” “did i stutter?”
Not seeing someone’s disability is not the compliment you think it is.
Im a simple man.
