what im saying is what im saying, stop randomly jumping to conclusions, it's so confusing
if im asking you what you need me to do for you, i'm not trying to guilt you for needing things, im asking you what you need from me
god communication is so frustrating 
I'm really sorry but if other allistic people weren't always hiding their true meanings the reflex wouldn't be there.
I said it before but allistic people are basically acting like we're all PvP flagged. It's not good and i so much prefer my autistic friends/partner lol.
"I said it before but allistic people are basically acting like we're all PvP flagged."
Capitalism causes the species to eat itself. An unhealthy and unstable system.
oh ya for real
like right after i posted this i was trying to figure out what the double meaning behind something someone else said was for like 10 minutes straight
it's so exhausting, my relationships where we both know the other is saying what they mean are SO much easier
Fuck whoever invented social cues as well, I need to find out where the CEO of social cues lives so I can beat them up
As someone who had parents who automatically assumed malicious intent whenever they got mad at me over literally anything, even before I hit damn double digits, this hits.
I have a theory that parents like that would do the same thing to allistic children in a slightly different way, and just kinda hit the jackpot with having an autistic child they can take their anger out on forever and no allistic will blame them because they also think we deserve it for being "weird"
me: spending literal hours carefully choosing words that are crystal clear and can't be misinterpreted
NTs: finding a new and different way to misinterpret
~~they're ✨communication innovators✨~~
they're ✨_miscommunication innovators_✨
you have internality and they are trying to anticipate that. both autistic and allistic people do this.
It's so exhausting! It feels dramatic to me sometimes, like NTs are looking for something else from a conversation beyond actually conversating.
If it's not a friend, allistic people often are looking for something else beyond conversing and wet also understand this so are defensive when someone is straightforward because what's the angle
We can't win
The game is rigged for narcissists
Mood
I'm not sure if I'm ND but people's reaction is baffling sometimes. Whenever I give tech advice to someone they occasionally would get mad at me and say shit like "I already tried that! Do you think I'm stupid?". Like, no, I do not think you're stupid. I'm just trying to help
Yeah its annoying - they really thinking I am trying to start something or talk back, when I am just stating something. Like its not that deep.
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!
