Sometimes I really wish allistic people could understand just how distressing constant noise can be when you're autistic
So, can we make it a rule that you can't claim to be "pro-life" if you're against gun control?
Like surely not wanting people to be shot is about the bare minimum to count as pro-life
To the new people who came here via the blog post I wrote for @StructuredSucc, hello and welcome! 👋

Not me attempting small talk like some other person had seen it once, tried to explain it to me based on that one experience, and then I'd tried to copy it based on that description

Sometimes I feel I'm reaching the age where if I haven't Done The Thing, I'm never going to
But on the other hand, I recently ran a half marathon for the first time, which is something I thought I'd never manage
Maybe there are still things I can do, after all

English prof: "Remember, this is all about your interpretation; there are no wrong answers"
Me: *somehow still gets wrong answer*

After nearly a year of social distancing, and barely talking to anyone, I'm getting firmly into the "questioning what's actual real" stage of isolation

#ADHD - when even writing a tweet can be hard to do without getting distracted
It sometimes feels like the only way I can get things done is by making deals with myself,
"If I do Task A, I can forget about Task B for now"

Okay, as someone who likes etymology, but who also sometimes gets confused by idioms, I'm loving this thread😄
Let's crowdsource some translations for NT-speak:
1) What's a popular saying that doesn't make sense to you? Leave it in the comments.
2) Do you know any of these sayings? Save an ND; offer a translation or explanation.
Things I can remember:
✅The exact plot of a random movie I saw over 15 years ago
❌Where I put my phone five minutes ago

It's weird how people are in favour of free speech when they something offensive, and yet are suddenly against free speech when they're criticized for saying something offensive
Sometimes I swear I have like two moods
It's either "Hook me up to a generator and I'll power the whole building!", or it's "I need some coffee to give me enough energy to get some coffee" 😅
I don't know if it's a sensory thing or something else, but showers always make my mood drop a lot
Are other people the same?

If you're struggling right now, this is a great place I've found for when I'm sad. They have multiple 24/7 streams of rescue kittens
As I tweet this, the kittens on this stream are playing, and it's so adorable 😀
