AutisticAdam,

Our best hope at succeeding with exams that have questions like this is to use the process of elimination to eliminate options one-by-one from our pool of potential answers
eliminating them in order of how incorrect sounding they are (most incorrect going first). 2/2

Unless you are like me where I have never ever really wanted to talk on the phone, but had no choice.

Autistic love languages can look different than NT ones. We like to share experiences, may unmask around people we are comfortable with, do penguin pebbling, share a special interest, stim, or infodump.

AutisticAdam,

@autism101 @actuallyautistic

While I do enjoy your posts, I try not to use the term "different"

Merely just "how we are" 🙂

Me too Andrew.

@roknrol @ashleyspencer @actuallyautistic

Not that one.

I looked it up.

The one I'm referring to is by Kristian Leontiou. Hit of the early 00s.

That's the thing though masukomi.. my crystal ball never functions.

AutisticAdam,

@masukomi @actuallyautistic

You have made a fascinating point by the way.

Mine ain't great when it comes to alot of things.

AutisticAdam, to actuallyautistic

Step right up folks but please bare in mind that she thinks food causes ADHD as well.

@actuallyautistic

AutisticAdam,

@servelan @actuallyautistic

Good decision.

Dinah doesn’t normally let me put a blanket over her. She was like ahh this is nice and took a nap.

AutisticAdam,

@ashleyspencer

It's all about the quilt/blanket for me.

I like the look of that 🙂

AutisticAdam,

@ashleyspencer

I can only imagine.

I want it 🤪

What's the largest number of people with identical names you've ever come across in one household?

I've just found a census record in which Margaret Rankin is living with her husband, her sister-in-law Margaret Rankin and several children, including another Margaret Rankin. It must've been a confusing household!

AutisticAdam,

@thomas @genealogy @geneadons

I like this question.

Wish I could answer it.

What I will say is I have a popular name.

Since I see no one in person, and have lost any ability to mask because of it, my Midwestern accent is coming out.

For a little while I developed the twang of my state when I was around people all the time and the Midwestern accent went away. It’s like I was even masking with my accent to fit in with locals.

As a kid, I had a thick midwestern accent. Lived back up north for 5 years as an adult. My accent was not socially acceptable here in the south so I learned to hide it.

AutisticAdam,

@ashleyspencer

Not everyone will like you, that's life, I however do, and I'm confident alot of people here do. Stay away from people that make feel like you have to be someone you are not.

We are being judged no matter what, so be who you want to be.

I don't think I have to say anything more than this.

Have a good evening Ashley.

AutisticAdam, to actuallyautistic

Autistic me: says nothing because I don't know what to say or sense people won't like what I say

Non autistic person: "You're too quiet, you need to be confident and contribute to the conversation"

Me: says something I think is kind, neutral or factual

Non autistic person: "No, not like that!!"

Me: Sigh

@actuallyautistic

AutisticAdam, to actuallyautistic

I never learned, nor was I born with the ability to treat people in authority as being different to everyone else.

I just don't get it. I'll say the same stuff, except the same behaviour from them, and get extremely confused by how others react to them. How it is for me.

@actuallyautistic

AutisticAdam, to actuallyautistic

When I don't pick up on subtext, others think I'm being rude: this is not true.

When I think I'm being detailed and clear, others think I'm being condescending: this is not true.

When I try to explain my autistic point of view, they think I'm trying to manipulate them: this is not true.

Today is one of those it feels so much later than it is days. It feels like 3pm but it’s only 11:29am. I’ve been playing my Tropic Escape iPad game all morning. It’s one of those pay to win games, but it’s the only thing that can hold my attention for hours.

My body temperature is in the 98 degrees range today, so that’s good. Must be doing something right. Yesterday I was 97.2 all day.

Very chill day of distractions, and it’s not even noon yet.

AutisticAdam,

@ashleyspencer

👍

AutisticAdam, to actuallyautistic

Me: shares my experience of something as an autistic person

Someone that's not autistic that you thought you could actually talk to: but don’t ALL normal people do that? You’re not special because of that.

Talk about a red flag response 🚩🚩🚩

@actuallyautistic

AutisticAdam, to actuallyautistic

Anyone can be inquisitive, but many Autistic people are extra thirsty for knowledge and I love it. Unknown things that intrigue others for a few minutes become our hyper fixations, interests and areas of expertise. It’s like others want to know things, but we need to know things.

@actuallyautistic

AutisticAdam, to actuallyautistic

Never tell a autistic person who has just summoned the courage to tell you they autistic that "you don't seem autistic" and that "you come across well"

Never ever.

Why would anyone ever think this is appropriate ?!

At what point did someone think that was a good idea ?!

You'd be surprised, or not surprised...

Feel free to list unappropriate words that's been said to you below.

@actuallyautistic

AutisticAdam, to actuallyautistic

Why do I over complicate things? I can recognise when I’m doing something the hard way but it’s like my brain can’t see how to do a task more efficiently until AFTER I go through extreme amount of struggle.

@actuallyautistic

AutisticAdam, to actuallyautistic

I have been asked by numerous people where am I, so thought I would address this.

These days you will find me on Bluesky.

There is an Autistic Community building there just like here.

If you would like a invite code, then let me know.

Thank you for the support.
