@BGatesIsaPyscho JFK died in 1963. Joe Biden had just turned 21 years old and was a college student. JFK did not call Joe Biden a traitor. This is what we in the normal world call a lie.

I had kind of an epiphany today- our language in the next 20 years will change to something like- Oh, are you an ADHD prominent neurodivergent or an Autism prominent neurodivergent. I’m on to something.

@brainrotSana Very much so. I could never get it. A few year ago my friend told me I was tying my shoe wrong. I asked her the show me how you are supposed to do it and it still won’t stick in my head how to do it the right way.

@Jinxed_Cosplay @neuro_lou My guess is that they are neurodivergent too, so they don’t follow the dataset you’ve compiled. The one thing I’ve noticed as a late diagnosed autistic is that all the people I’m close to have ADHD.

@autisticinnovat OMG 👀🫣I have 2-4 “comfort” hot drinks a day. I also drink when my head or stomach hurt. And at various other weird times. Mine must just be the act of drinking b/c it’s water or unsweetened tea.

I have an acute, probably minutes-long special interest. Anyone know what this is? _… ._. .. _.. __. . _

YOU MIGHT BE AUTISTIC IF: for 1/2 a day you thought Taylor Swift had on a fur-collared bodysuit. #ActuallyAutistic

@Autistic_Lia Everytime I open my mouth. It’s either mumble or yelling.

I think I figured something out- in my head, my prepared speech, is smooth- “I didn’t know if she forgot about me [laugh]”. But comes out of my mouth “I did ‘n kn-ow if sh-e fer-got about meee or wat”[uhh]”. This I think is my biggest communication problem. #ActuallyAutistic

Every time I’ve been friends w/a guy, everyone in the surrounding social situation (school, work, etc) have assumed that I was sleeping with them. (I was in a long-term relationship/married) 1. Eww. 2. Why? What is wrong with these people? Is that literally all they think about?

#AskingAutistics Do any others have an issue with their personal clocks losing time? My alarm clock and my car both lose time even after I bought a new alarm clock. No other clocks seem to have an issue.

@mhh02 @Autistic_Lia But I don’t think we get bullied because we are different. I think we are bullied because other humans are flawed.

@mhh02 @Autistic_Lia I agree.

@hannamashima I realized all the people I’m close to are ADHD. I don’t know if I do. I am so curious to see now that my autistic detector is active.

That’s such a horrible description. But it clears up if you put your head down. I call it Darth Vader, but it’s like the exact opposite of that. I think it might be related to EDS- maybe a loose ligament problem in the eustachian tube. Mine is on and off in both ears right now.

Do any other #ActuallyAutistic people have Patulous Eustachian tube dysfunction- where it sounds like your head is in a bucket and you can hear a muffled version of everything your body does including your breathing? #AskingAutistics
