| Mine is just a matter of profile preference. Not cognitive, but emotional. I never like the fact that I did not get the type of autism with alexithymia, preferably that has little to no affective empathy to put up and regulate -- since there's no strong enough executive function to compensate into c... |

| Yes. And it's more subtle. It's safer in a higher way that had nothing to do with familiarity, but of understanding, inclusion and acceptance. Quieter. Compared to, say, attachment. Which is somewhat suffocating and unnecessarily reenacting. Familiar at best, no matter how dysfunctional. Sometimes p... |

Another stupid cycle.
Another age old unwanted internal processing to kill.
Another stormy season. |

| Looking back -- I had developed hyperindependence. I feel more disappointment towards anyone than shame towards myself. It makes being dependent or relying on anyone feels like a gamble. An unpredictable variant. I have zero trust on. A shaky foundation to ever put any intent on. I just want to be r... |

| Being an admin to an operating system that does not think for me. But then, I've yet to be competent enough to handle it elegantly, however. Not everyone can use the autism toolkit to deep dive into being a human and humanity. I may be one of those end users who just happened to want the challenge. ... |

Yep, I won't be trying and getting any cat anytime soon. |

If I found God is one of us, whether in context that God is one of us as mortals living amongst this physical world, or one of us as in another Autistic -- I wouldn't be so hung up on it. 
If it happened to be me... The world's doomed then and I wouldn't be thinking too much over it. |

| Emotions doesn't help me learn. This isn't some weird sentiment, this was just a fact of life for me. It could explain why I didn't started fawning. Why pain doesn't make me stop nor it actually lasts right after. Didn't matter of it's positive or negative. Solving said emotions actually did. No mat... |

| It's just something of a no-brainer to me. That I simply knew there are limits to language itself. Tho, in my own case, language itself had always been limiting. That me being different meant I do not have the same processes -- that in my own frustration, the norm is that people cannot describe thes... |

| Mostly anxiety. Potentially verbal processing issues second. Either some form of language interruption or primarily speech as in physical expression. Either ways, interruptions; doubt, memory issues, hesitancy, sudden dropping, overcorrection... I don't stutter. I mispronounce and misword instead. |
