How fast the tone tags of "statement" and "question" at the end of sentences have been added to my neuro-divergent friend and family's vocabulary is a little scary

[sunderwight]

I know it's been said before but I truly cannot read the tone tag /hj as "half joking"

like sorry on second glance I figured out from context what you actually meant, but first blush that is always handjob and it always makes me imagine you ending the sentence with a little jerk off wrist motion

“Ughhhh I hate the whole ‘/j’ thing!!! Autistic people aren’t stupid!! It makes me feel so invalidated… :/“

Dude. It’s fine you you don’t want to use them/tone tags aren’t useful to you. That doesn’t mean they aren’t useful to other autistic people.

Not every autistic person is as capable at understanding tone as you are, especially over text. Heck, a lot of allistic people don’t understand it over text. It’s not “invalidating”, you just can’t understand someone having a bit more trouble than you.

needing tone tags sometimes is so embarrassing. like, i feel like im being annoying by asking people to clarify tone. i struggle to understand otherwise. and i want to understand! but so many people get annoyed by it. UGH!

Self shipping is so goofy because I'll see someone that has my wife as their big sister and it's like that's your big sister?! That's my wife!! /silly /pos
