| As someone who hates words, any name can be. Any label or term can be twisted, remade, or for use in whatever context. It's a stupid attempt to stretch language past it's limits. And language itself is limiting IMO. A lot, and I do mean a LOT of conditions are looked through the lens of socializatio... |

I don't.
I have an ego instead that likes to spin scenarios done instead.
Things are not really about embarrassment, humiliation or shame.
And it's not even social either, regardless if it's social or not. |

| I'm pretty sure I bulked up a little. It's the age. I guess this is second puberty. Like my ring size increased. Some of my clothes are loosening and tightening in different places. Or that my average weight is now 5 kg heavier than the usual less than 50 kg numbers. Oh, and everyone noticed it. Tha... |

| Autism is the part where your senses and processes are not giving you a full picture and context of the matter due to your own cognitive profile and countless environmental or sensory interferences. The mind is the part where one would register this into a reaction on uncertainty because of not havi... |

| My head is usually full of that. The creativity isn't the problem. Tho, in my own case, it's the language processing. Actually parts of wording them. So I say, the issue is the execution with yours, too; the skill of putting something from your head into paper. In my own case, didn't matter how much... |

| Prevented myself from getting flu or cold~ I guess the trick in my own case is really to not actually fall asleep deep enough that my core temp is low enough for my body to activate immune system into stupid reactivity. Maybe that's this body's problem from the very beginning. It always had. I'm jus... |

| Depends on your conditioning, ego, and the rewards system wired within you. The NT assumption is the initial intent is equals to behavioral outcomes. No processes, no in between. It's subconscious, instinctive. One just feel, look at this scenario, think whatever intent, then *walla~* outcomes ! No ... |

| When those checklists for autism are written by NTs, they often say, "No sense of danger." Yeah, some autistic kids and adults have no sense of danger, but they are the Level 3'ers, not the Aspies or HFAs. If anything, the Aspie type would be so hell-bent on following rules, that they'd b... |

| I'm not sure. I cannot relate well to my generation. But it's little to do with just being autistic. And very much more to do with my lack of FOMO and social drive. No matter how much my interests (or even special interests) aligns with my generation, it's like I have this very different take or pri... |
