And yes, NTs will talk about you like you're not there.

: This has been the way the bulk of my social, professional, romantic, and even familial relationships have gone. It's neither a good thing nor a bad thing. It's just how it is.

: Neurotypicals, Autistics, and Theory of Mind

: This is the readout thing from that #Aspie Quiz thing that's been buzzing about online for years.

: I'm still echolalic. It's a key part of my encyclopedic memory and how I navigate it.

: It happens, and it happens a lot. You just can't say it too loudly on social media, or you're way likely to get inundated with "Not me!" and "That never happens!" and worse from the peanut gallery. That said, express the sentiment privately to a lot of those very same people, and they will agree with you. It's a thing. I first noticed it in the 1980s, and it hasn't let up.

: Pretty much my general attitude since 2017, this is. #semiLOL #dating #relationships #AspieLife #neurallyatypical #residentalien #theweirdkid

: One of the totally sucktastic things about involuntary associational recall is that sometimes multiple trains of thought get hijacked by it, leaving you only two or three that are reasonable. It takes time for my mental conductors to get the runaways back to sorts, and it's distracting. I can run alright on four or five but not so much on two or three. Nothing quite like several sabots in the gears all at once.

: When and if I get big and can afford a house of my own, I will have a library, of course, and adequately sized and apportioned kitchen, as one does. I will also have a full gym. I like to get mah boddeh swole as much as I like get swole the little grey cells.

: I puzzle #algorithms. #AI has trouble in conversation with me. Both of these phenomenon are documented. Both are designed for neuronormative humans, and I am not one of those. Nor are more than a few of my frens.

This has been a topic of conversation amongst my autistic social circle for a few years now, and that circle periodically includes algorithm and AI developers.

: I first noticed in 2018 that I seemed to be getting less verbal in public. I have monitored my public behavior and interactions since then, and it has hit me since around November last that I have indeed, preferring when possible to sign. (Basic signing, not full-on ASL conversations.) I have also analyzed and preliminarily determined the reason for the change, though that is a story for another day.

2/2: ...do that. *That* said, I am quite prone to revisiting old stuff as I learn more about other things and their relationships, however oblique, to the old stuff. The point isn't the excitement per se but, for lack of a better way of putting it, I want to know as much as I can about everything I can. It's all about the exploring and finding jumping off points to new niftinesses, and for me, it's all play and always has been.

Yep. I am #theweirdkid.

: I am wearing the hat I bought at the beach along with a very similar one for mah grandmunhkin so that we could be twinsies.

2/2: that, as they say in the memes, is when the fight broke out. It doesn't matter that I was excited as they were to talk shop with someone. I get excited about shop-talk a lot and forget that not everyone's in that #AspieLife. I don't play shop-talk for keeps. I talk shop because it's fun, I get to learn stuff, I get to run theoreticals versus actual data with someone else, and again, it's fun, not a win-lose game.
