autistic who goes “fun fact” and then proceeds to tell you the most gruesome unfunny thing you’ve heard all day

Read the autism fish form study, it was very fascinating and I’m very grateful you compiled all the info into an analysis form and released it into the public!! Thank you. The conclusion of autistic individuals finding acceptance and kinship in the misunderstood fishes reminded me of a post on here where someone took note of members of minority groups taking a liking to “scary” deep sea animals, perhaps because they saw themselves in the misrepresented animals. A large portion of autistic individuals taking a liking to sharks and deep sea fish — besides these groups being wholly interesting and worth getting to know — could be linked to that in some way, though further research could probably be done about that!

Hell yes thank u fishyfishyfishtimes

Id love to see that post if i ever get to stumble across it

I think that the most liked fish being sharks does have sometjing to do with that quality of being misunderstood or viewed in a negatice light by larger society. I think if anything, sharks being the fav definitely reinforces tbe idea of resonating with the misunderstood and misrepresented and thats something id love to explore more

Shout out to the two reviewers on Powerwash sim which are “I’m autistic “ and “I may be on tbe spectrum”

Anyway yeah

I hate that when I mention possibly having ADHd my family is just like

"Oh no youbdont have ADHD, you're not hyper!"

Because I guess you have to be bouncing off tbe walls and constantly talking someone's ear off to have ADHD.

It's not like it manifests differently in certain people.

It's the same when I mentioned possible having autism (I mean I have done some research and I do show a lot of the signs if it, I've also had a few people tell me they get those vibes)

But because I dont fit the stigma for it I'm told "Noooo you're not autistic either!" I just *thought* I might be

Sometimes I still think I do, but I'm a bit apprehensive to self DX because of attitudes towards self dxing as well as the whole "theres no way" shit

I'm having a hard time with jisy the ADHD part because of people's attitudes. Like??? Okay so what if I do have ADHD or whatever, its be Really fucking nice to know why I cant fuckint function like everyone else expects me to.

The more I deal with idiots, tbe more I’m glad that I’m Republican

Like maybe instead of worrying about if a person is too old for something, maybe worry about actual problems

Like you don’t know if the person is autistic

Just let people be people and try instead to worry about more important shit
