I'm surprised none of these fruit cart vendors kicked his ass. Was he just picking on people smaller than him?

said commute takes 20-60 minutes depending on traffic (determined by someone at CalTrans rolling dice to see how many lanes they'll block off so six guys can stand around watching one guy do stuff in a hole) and I am so fucking sick of signing papers for cars and filing papers and endless mountains of more titles and folders to process coming in and the phone ringing literally all fucking day as people call in with the dumbest shit imaginable (hi there this is a person at the call center and I'm not sure what to do so I called you guys instead of my supervisor for some reason, hi there do you have the title for the vehicle we purchased at auction yesterday that said "title absent possible duplicate title application required" on the announcements, what do you mean it isn't there yet, can you give me information about a car that has all of its information listed on your website)

So uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh yeah been a minute lol creature

Life comes at you fast. Been going through a lot lately. Met my new nb girlfriend and got into my first relationship at 38 years old large-adult-son, then we went to the ren faire together dressed as an orc and a goblin (me and her respectively given our over a foot of height difference) then work absolutely beat the shit out of me when I was on the clock for about a month solid, and the free time I did have I preferred to spend cuddling and watching anime with the gf instead of impressing a bunch of weirdo communists on the Internet. I know, I've failed you all dubois-depressed volcel-judge

Anyways, in part six, Dr. Price talks about building an autistic life, meaning starting to build a life that centers around your sensory needs and the things that give you joy and meaning. He begins the introduction with the tale of an influencer who found great success chasing trends but eventually starting having panic attacks and shutdowns from the social pressure. She got diagnosed, began questioning her sexuality, changed her whole image, lost tons of followers as a result, but is now happier than ever. A little parable for the chapter.

He explores the concept of divergent design, that is building living and work spaces around the sensory requirements of the neurodivergent. Making self-care tools like earplugs, sunglasses, and fidget toys available, keeping walls clear of clutter and distracting colors and designs -- or, alternatively, embracing such designs for sensory-seeking ND folks. Focusing on things like specific textures to include or avoid like the plague, lighting options, white noise or sound-dampening surfaces, etc.

Reimagining success and time is the next section Dr. Price elaborates on, focusing on things like re-examining productivity, the old ADHD pattern of getting everything done in one massive burst and then requiring a long time to recover, foregoing niceties allowing people to actually get shit done, and the benefits of self-employment. Abandoning neurotypical frameworks of success and timekeeping where possible and focusing on a longer view of things, cycling back to old projects, analyzing your improvement over several years, etc. can improve your motivation. As can slowing down in general.

Finally, Dr. Price goes into the benefits of doing things your own way, abandoning the "normal" way of doing shit just because it's what NTs expect and doing what works for you. Anyone who's ND knows exactly what I'm talking about. He uses the example of someone setting up mirrors at the exit doors of the kitchen and wearing a special apron for kitchen cleaning tasks as visual reminders to stay on task. Looking ahead at restaurants on Google Maps and looking over the menu in detail long before we arrive like the little weirdos we are. Take to it. Do it without shame. Be radically visible, as Dr. Price puts it. Studies show people are more amenable to autistics when they know they're autistic before interacting with them. Quit hiding it (if it's safe to, of course) and let your colors show. You'll be happier just by virtue of freeing up brain processing power.

Discussion questions below. Tag post to follow.

  • Any passages that stuck out to you? Super relatable? Hard to understand?
  • Are there any ways in your life that you've embraced your neurodiversity to your benefit? Any insights to share?
  • Anything that confused you or felt was not elaborated enough upon?

Amazing. He needs to move to a decent country and then write a book about the horror he experienced once he gets some psychological counseling for the PTSD. This man's a fucking hero.

It's a TikTok thing. Hypothetically, would the woman being asked rather cross paths with a man she doesn't know in the woods, or a bear? Lots of women pick bear, because as an animal its behavior is more predictable and arguably less dangerous to a woman than some random dude who for all she knows is a serial murdering rapist or some shit. And think of it this way: you see a bear in the distance and calmly walk the other way, most of the time you'll be fine. It won't follow you back to the parking lot, and then get into a car of its own and follow you back to your apartment.

Some men are upset by this reasoning and instead try to mansplain how dangerous bears are. (Bears will also not send you aggressive messages on social media berating you for some stupid TikTok meme bullshit)

He would 1000% use it to pick up women claiming he was a world traveler who has seen exotic sights (and wants to see one more exotic sight nudge nudge wink wink)
