: When the friends I told years before they were being cheated on and taken for a ride by their S.O. and they told me I was stupid, jealous, etc. see me again a few weeks or months after they learned the hard way that they were being cheated on and taken for a ride by their S.O., this is me.

Patterns do not lie. When someone with ace-level pattern recognition tells you what they see, listen to them and at least check it out.

: My dating advice for women is "Get you a man who can do both," and if they really want to get crazy, "Get you a guy who can do both... at the same time."

: This is why I identify as perplexing.

2/2: ...a complicated algebra, though pretty predictable, like more than a few people things-that-happen. I am pretty WYSIWYG, and I'm told by a few exes I'm also fractal, like some kind of Alien Nesting Nerd (as opposed to a Russian Nesting Doll). This is not a lament, only an observation and statement of fact. I make do, as one does.

"Autism & Time": my poo-pooing an autism stereotype

#personal #neurallyatypical #actuallyautistic #residentalien #theweirdkid

: This. 💯 this. It even happens with family and friends who *know*, though it does happen less than with the gen pop. That said, it isn't uncommon, just less common.

2/2: ...I am low- to non-verbal maybe a quarter of the time, though that is a from-the-hip ballparking and not via any manner of recording and analysis. It could be less but likely not noticeably more.

^^^^ (Cont'd.)

I also keep ~40lbs of various dried beans/legumes in my larder.

Cajun 15-Bean Soup (w/ seasonings packet) (pareve)
Lentils (mostly red)
Pintos
Garbanzos
Black
Split Peas
Navy
Kindey
12-Bean Soup (w/ packet)
Black-Eyes Peas
Lima (and Baby Lima)

Dried beans/legumes are great for meal prep, not to mention that they are tasty and a good addition to one's diet.

Oh, and fart jokes.

: How #actuallyautistic am I?

I currently have twenty-four (24) boxes of macaroni and cheese in my larder.

I keep different varieties, different cheeses and pastas. I have semolina pastas, lentil pastas, chickpea pastas, whole wheat pastas. Oh, and egg noodles.

: You may not have any real idea oh how much trouble and consternation this has caused over the decades. I was a junior in high school before I really learned about sarcasm, as in how to spot it... sometimes... mainly just the stuff I'd already been told was sarcasm. And once dry delivery came into vogue it got worse.

At 53, I'm way better at spotting it than I used to be, but that's me batting about .400.

: Folks often tell me I am too clinical, intellectual, and such, and then when they see I also inject Monty Python, hip-hop lyrics, limericks, echolalia, relevant historical quotes, Dad jokes, scientific trivia, and such into everyday conversation, including professional convos, they switch to, "You're silly and don't take this/me seriously."
