Hey! The thunderstorm warning is back on my phone again, and this time it's actually starting to get really dark outside. Maybe… 🤞 🙏

I have a lot of special characters memorized (ALT-[key] for windows and long presses for Android) but why is it so needlessly difficult to Google each one individually? Surely someone, somewhere must have compiled a good table of all of them. It would sure come in handy.

I have an hypothesis…

People who are all Apple for everything from their phone to their desktop are more easily brainwashed by advertising that everyone else.

Either that or they just like shelling out extra cash for inferior products.

Do neurotypical people not have to mask at all? Are they just themselves? How does that work?

Have you ever noticed that on Star Trek: TNG and later, they still eat, but you never see any toilets or plumbing?

Did they come up with some sort of medical breakthrough or something?

As someone who is actually autistic, should I use the ActuallyAutistic hashtag every time I talk about autism, or only sometimes, for more serious philosophical posts about autism? Or maybe only for my own personal experiences as someone who is autistic?

What do you do?

It seems that I'm better at dealing with major life or death emergencies that every day struggles. Why is that? Is that autistic thing?

We're watching a Canadian series. I think my wife can't detect the Canadian accents. I can. Go figure.

Some people definitely have it more than others. The show is in and around Toronto. Most of the people do not have much of an accent, but some of them—ooh boy! Yah, y'know, eh?

For a long time, I have assumed that Superman is an unintentionally autistic coded character.

In the television show Smallville and the movie Man of Steel, Clark struggles with super hearing—sensory issues.

Clark tries to dress and act like everyone else to blend in—masking.

Clark has an extraordinary sense of altruism and justice.

He likes to go around wearing a cape and comfortable clothes when he's not trying to fit in.

Yep… just did a bunch more autism assessments for no reason. (AQ, RAADS-R, CAT-Q, etc.)

Turns out, still autistic. Who knew? 🤪

Also, I don't know why I feel compelled to do these same tests over and over, especially when I already have a professional opinion now too. It's probably an autistic thing. 😆

Also also, what test is "etc."? 😉

Also also also, is it weird that I got the exact same scores this time as before for the ones where I actually remember what my scores were?

Whenever someone calls their business a "pop-up store", does anyone else picture in their mind that it's made out of paper? 🤔

I'm curious—how do we feel about any/all of the following labels? Are we ok with them? Offended by them? Have attitudes changed at all recently? I've noticed we don't all use the same vocabulary here.

• on the spectrum
• ASD
• has autism
• with autism
• is autistic
• Autistic
• Autist

"Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

Dictionary.com would most likely tell you that it's obvious that "chicken" comes before "egg" (because they do everything alphabetically) 🤪

It kinda sucks that the only sure way to get a song that's stuck in your brain out is to replace it with a different song that gets stuck in your brain.
