  • because as far as you were concerned, everyone is in the same tribe as you

    I definitely don’t think that way. I’m aware that I am different from other people.

    Reposting from my other comment:

    Well I had the luxury of dating a psychologist who specializes in diagnoses and her brother is autistic - so she is very aware of autism and how it works and what it looks like in different people.

    She confirmed I’m not autistic and thought it was hilarious that anyone would assume that about me. She’s known me for years and she has experience in that field. She knows better than just randoms at a meet up group would.

    When I told her that random autistic girls from my comm were making this assumption she gave me the biggest eye roll and a laugh. Because duh, I’m not autistic.












  • god that sucks to hear.

    I’m alarmed at the amount of people I met, mostly women, who are like upset when I tell them I’m not autistic. It’s like they want me to be or something. They insisted I needed to get tested to be sure.

    Like what is with these people wanting this to be common and wanting to get people join in like its a club? It’s a genetic trait. You either have it or you don’t I thought.





  • Seinfeld made a joke about how car rental companies don’t understand what a “reservation” actually is nearly thirty fucking years ago and jack fucking shit has changed

    Not only that but holy shit if a lot of customer service interactions aren’t just like that now. They use doublespeak to get around customers and look for ways to give people indirect answers so no one ever gets any real help.
