And what method do you propose to take?

Neurotypicals are in the majority

A disproportionate number of autistics are unemployed

Sounds like more of a fantasy than a goal

I painted a silver iron cross on my self-made helmet. The RAF symbol has its place, but not on my helmet.

It's easy to be scary or creepy...

But it's not easy when to and to know when it's the right time to be scary or creepy.

There was a creep in the elevator with me several nights ago. He looked me up and down and asked, "What's new?" I looked him square in the eyes and said, "Oh, nothing much....I'm still listening to the same German marches." His eyes went as big as saucers and he jumped back and said, "Oh....do you like Wagner?" I said, "Yes, he's one of my favourites." He hasn't tried to get into the elevator with me since that wonderful incident. I have a way of getting rid of men. I'm so proud.

I had a dream last night that I can't really think of how to put into words, certainly not any that will do it justice, but it involved being alienated among others who were alienated, because I didn't look "different" enough. Having the soul of a dragon didn't mean a thing, they didn't think I was "different" enough to be one of them. A not-so-subtle message from my subconscious mind about how that makes me feel like I can't fit in anywhere with anyone, and how very few people take it at all seriously when I mention it despite it being an integral part of who I am.

i'm not so sure there is.

i tried to listen at least, and i did do well but it's very hard to say anything to months of intense self loathing, suicidal, lonesome feelings finally being let loose all at once.

i'm glad that she is comfortable enough with me to tell what is bothering/disturbing her deep inside, but this happens with other women i know too (venting depression and grievances at me) and sometimes it's very hard to take.

what do i say? why are they telling me? am i supposed to be seeing myself in the role of savior?

this particular girl i've known for six and a half years, nobody else i met that long ago i still talk to. she's held me close for years, she says. i'm one of the only ones who bother, and it's been over a year since i last spoke to her!

and i regret that a lot. i care about her and would like to be a more regular presence in hr life but i need to be given a chance, too.

Just listen Kip, sometimes a trusted friendly ear is all that is needed or wanted.

You don't need to say anything to make it better. Just being there is enough :heart:

:lol: Ahahahahahahahahehehhhh..... :|

Ok.
Startling a lone walker, by suddenly walking all ahead, on a dark corner of a retreat, is plausible.
Startling a roomful of young adults by walking in without a ponytail at night is more plausible.
Backfiring some scare prank of some boy in the dark by just being ahead and the first to turn off the lights then walk out, is still more plausible.

But...

Startling a group of professionals in a swimming pool, on a broad high noon daylight??
Startling my own boss by walking ahead of her... While carrying a stand electric fan. While wearing a fancy long dress. And then by just settling the said electric fan down in a narrow stairway landing??? I'm not even being quiet! :skull:

What the heck?? :lol: Would it be my fault if I end up (accidentally) startling someone with a weak heart??

I used to be able to dance a good one to La Bamba, especially at the very end of the song.
