: The bottom line, really, is that people are predictable and weird. Most are doing their best, though. So you have to cut's some slack. (We all need varying amounts of slack cut for us at varying times. Oy vey, do we.)

Be human, folks. Just try not to take it out on everyone else, mmmkay?

Interviewer: “Describe yourself in to words.”

Me: “I am a rebel.”

Yes, this has happened IRL. More than once, as has…

Interviewer: “If you could be an animal, what kind would you be?”

Me: “I am an animal, specifically a primate, homo sapiens. I’m perfectly happy being one.”

: I really cannot stand the family pressure to travel hundreds of miles to eat food with people who I rarely see or talk to except when people get married, die, or attend holiday get-togethers.

Same's true in re: Xmess.

All they're going to do, for the most part, is gossip, watch football or reality tv, listen to "holiday music", shop, and nap. None of that is my bag, and combinations of that are even less my bag.

#neurallyatypical #AspieLife

: from my IG alt account

I figure it's possibly due to my being #neurallyatypical that what generally goes as 'normal' human behavior and psychology not infrequently strikes dissonant chords with me, with some of the behaviors (or modes of thinking) being alien to me to the point I can notice, even understand them, but not *do* them. Some of it, when encountered, cause me to freeze momentarily while I figure out WTF's going on. It's a strange way to live, but... #AspieLife

#ActuallyAutistic

: my direct and personal experience as a disabled #neurallyatypical human with ADHD and executive function problems

Your mileage may vary, of course, but over the last, say, twentyish years the way I put it in the image has been said to be the most helpful by others with similar or the same conditions.

#ActuallyAutistic #life #structure

: It's absolutely true. #AspieLife #neurallyatypical #ActuallyAutistic

: Yes, though not physically in the way. I’m told it because I think whatever people are about to do is grossly ill-advised, stupid, unethical, and/or dangerous, and won’t say “Cool!” and/or agree to participate. So they see me as an obstacle, which I sometimes am in that way.

: a post about autistics and general autistic attitudes regarding and relationships with authority

I ran across it and replied to it over yonder on Teh Tweetar

#ActuallyAutistic #AspieLife #neurallyatypical

: When I was a little kid I was called "precocious" and "gifted".

When I was in middle school and high school and applied that precociousness and giftedness in directions I wanted to go but not the grown-ups' and didn't respond to nonsense "reasons" for changing my mind and "going along to get along" I was called "a ragamuffin", "disrespectful", and "recalcitrant".

At 52 I'm still called those that stuff but not by people I give a shit about.

#ActuallyAutistic #neurallyatypical

: I originally posted this over on IG a year or so ago. It's about a problem I've encountered since I learned the speak and have conversations. I run into it a LOT, as in a LOT lot. It's caused problems in relationships I've had of every kind. At 52 now, I've learned to head it off at the pass sometimes, but even then it's not infrequently a headache and doesn't always work. Literalism isn't always a helpful part of being #ActuallyAutistic, but them's the breaks sometimes.
#neurallyatypical

: It's quite the pickle in which I not unoften find myself. At 52 years old now, I accept it as a fair accompli. though it doesn't make it any less blar. #neurallyatypical #ActuallyAutistic #theweirdkid

: six fictional characters I have been told my multiple people who know me very well have said that reminds them of me, though one (Ultron) is missing

#neurallyatypical #ActuallyAutistic

: This is a fact about autism. The neuronormative are or at least seem virtually never ready for what they get when/if they demand our full attention. I'm not even kidding, not the teeniest, tiniest little bit. In my direct experience and observation over the course of my lifetime, even people that want our full attention almost invariable find it unnerving. #AspieLife #ActuallyAutistic #neurallyatypical
