@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic i find it funny that NTs assume everyone wants to share personal stuff during meetings...
…like, if i wanted to say something i would, i don’t need to be put on the spot...
…but if you do, you better believe i will say something so bizarre it shuts down all conversation…
…and do so purely out of spite
@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic harsh, yes, but nonetheless pretty accurate…
@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic i set this one a few weeks ago but seems a good reminder…

@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic we all know how this goes…
Hello youths, it is your queer auntie Abadidea back with the advice
I was alerted to a 19yo autistic person who heard "autistic people tend to form their first successful long-term relationship around 30" and concluded that there is then no point to even trying until they're 30. I don't know where this statistic came from or how accurate it is, but that's a bit beside the point, because:
Very few people get into a successful long-term relationship on their very first try. The usual way of things is that two well-meaning young people fall in love and then something goes painfully, messily wrong four months in and they both LEARN something about how to conduct themselves and how to deal with others. Repeat two or three more times until two people who have developed some emotional maturity fall in love. It may take autistic people a little longer on average to iron out the kinks, but they'll get there!
If you decide "I won't even try until I'm 30 because the math says that's when it works out," what's going to happen is that you're going to be 30 with the emotional maturity of a wildly unbalanced 18yo and all the other 30yos are going to be like... yeah, not touching that with a 10-foot pole.
Successful relationships come from practice, not from waiting for the Maturity Fairy to bless you!
@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic definitely having a bad day — in a meeting, tried to introduce myself to a new person and completely flubbed it
words, numbers, pretty much everything today is my nemesis
i can't explain to other people how uncomfortable routine changes can be. it's not that tomorrow will be worse than today, it's that it will be DIFFERENT in every way. it is not about the actual activity, it's the change. I want to do it, and I will do it because I'm an adult. I wish it was easier. #actuallyautistic

@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic currently debating if it is safe to post this to the work disabled employee group…
…for context, there is a tense relationship between me and the group's leadership bit not the membership at large…
…also, the video is barely 1.5 minutes long, and is all data (survey) focused

@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic been providing admin coverage for my former boss since Monday (through next Wednesday) and wouldn't ya know it, my blood pressure has been skyrocketing…
…and he hasn't reached out to me once for a damn thing and yet still…
…maybe i should file a claim for workers comp for PTSD
@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic working on a project and the manager, in standard passive-aggressive/micromanaging style, spends 3 emails to incrementally ask for what was wanted that should have been asked for in the 1st…
…result is a waste of a lot of time and resources responding to each component part of the task…
…but it'll be spun later that i wasn’t taking initiative and not a lack of coherence/competence on the part of the requestor
