i spend a lot of time thinking about what non-fandom people Do.

i wanna know what thoughts they’re thinking if not ones about fictional characters. i wanna know what they do in their free time if not read/write fanfic. do they even NEED to use escapism? what’s it like to not be a child a divorce? i need answers.

#fandom #i never thought of this #actually curious now

I'm amused that tumblr thinks I'm into Teen Wolf cause I tagged "twrp" XDXD

A non-exhaustive list of the ways autistic people may show empathy even though we are assumed to not have it.

Are these exclusive to autistic people? No, not at all, we're just more often pathologized for them.

If I'm in a relationship with someone who does this, does that mean I just have to suck it up even if it doesn't work for me? No, it doesn't, but you do probably have some adjusting to do. You'll need to treat it as a mutual miscommunication instead of something it's all on the autistic (or ADHD, or whatever) person to fix. You'll have to change some of your expectations and get comfortable asking for (and explaining) the show of empathy you need - and you may even find out that the way you show empathy isn't working so great for them either. 😉

[Image description: AUTISTIC EMPATHY CAN LOOK LIKE… - Infographic by Autball.

White translucent boxes with black lettering inside on a magenta to purple diagonal gradient. The first four boxes read: (1) I’ve been through something similar, so maybe sharing my story will help; (2) Ooh, I know how to fix that! Maybe helping them solve their problem will make them feel better; (3) Oh man, now I have big feelings too! I just feel this so much!; (4) My favorite thing always calms me down, so maybe it’ll help them too. I’ll ask them to do it with me. These four are grouped together with a blue line and labeled: Misinterpreted as “Making it All About You.”

The next four boxes read: (5) I’m not sure how to help, so I’ll leave it to that person who looks like they do; (6) When I’m upset or overwhelmed, I prefer to be left alone, so I’ll bet they would like the same; (7) If I get involved, I’m gonna become overwhelmed myself, and that will take attention from them, so it’s best to just stay out of it; (8) I’m not sure how to help, and I usually make it worse when I try but get it wrong, so it’ll be better for everyone if I just do nothing. These four are grouped together with a blue line and labeled: Misinterpreted as Cold and Uncaring.

At the bottom is one last sentence, in white bold lettering, that reads, “Just because we don’t show it the same doesn’t mean we don’t feel it.”]

Deadass if you knew nothing about Yu Yu Hakusho looking at the promotional art you would think it was an anime about a male idol group hanging out.

If an autistic person overexplains something to you they probably don't think you're dumb they just think THEY would appreciate those details if they were the ones being explained to

ryan-sometimes

A lot of things that seem obviously implicit in speech AREN'T obvious to autistic people. So we inherently think it's necessary to specify things that might seem transparent to neurotypical people because usually WE'RE the ones who need those explanations

kichimiangra

Look man, I just don't want to be misunderstood or have someone comment trying to poke holes in my statement because I chose to try and talk like a normal person and not explain everything in accute detail instead of covering my ENTIRE stance in one breath like I wanted to from the get go.

What if I am trying to explain something but it is YOU who are missing the whole point of what I'm trying g to explain if I don't over explain it?

#over explaining #i feel this #i'm def some flavor of neurodivergent #sigh i even retyped the above tag to spell out neurodivergent instead of ND
