I've been noticing loads of kids lately who are wearing ear defenders in public

It just goes to prove how there's much more autism is diagnosed these days

Yeah, there is definitely more visibility and diagnosis of autism these days. I think that can only be a good thing.

The little lad next door got diagnosed with autism, just recently

He was born in the first lock down so we all thought that was why he's sort of quiet and to himself

I actually shed a tear when she told me (not in front of her)

I don't think anyone else, anywhere else other than here would understand why I shed said tear

I can't even put it into words myself

My armpits smell. Sat at my computer just in shorts. Barefoot, feet dirty. Kids watching Minecraft videos on youtube kids.

Whenever I compliment my daughter, she always looks at me as if to say "yeah, I already know so why you saying it"

She cracks me up

I wonder if it's an autistic reaction or if she's just self assured

I think that many people diagnosed with NVLD without autism diagnosis in fact have autism comorbid with NVLD or perhaps even autism without NVLD.

Nothing super profound or meaningful but somehow my brain created "Burgcheeser"* and I still think about that.

*As in Cheeseburger

I'm not sure what autistic style is. Puzzles according to Astrid: Murder in Paris. I first heard of the name Astrid listening to the music of Astrid Sonne. I posted the song Do You Wanna in the What are you listening to right now, thread to listen to, as I write this. So while watching Astrid from the French crime drama my brain sometimes says Astrid Sonne... when her name is said, followed by the question Do you wanna have a baby? - which are some of the central lyrics to the song I posted. It's my favourite song off Astrid Sonne's album Great Doubt.

Not sure if I'm listening to that song for the third or fourth time in a row.

Well I'm autistic and thought that would be fairly random thing for other people to read.

Oh ha okay. I used to pull random threads but now I snip them with scissors, but not immediately of course. They have to mildly annoy for some time first.
edit: don't read that the wrong way I'm literally talking about threads on clothes :D

I just... Don't mind dissecting the human experience than having one myself.

Because I really, actually, do not like being a human.

Not from hurt or adversive experience or even "because I'm autistic" -- it's just that it's utterly absurd being one with the way everything is setup to be.

I see it everywhere. It's not just my life.
I see it in everyone. From the mess around genetics to the absurdity of upbringing.

"Initial conditions", "emotional processing", "attachment theories". "Change is an exception not a rule -- evolved to be 'efficient'", "they do not know any better". :roll:


I really... Just really cannot relate with clinging with the idea of needing to be seen as a human.

"Sexuality", "emotionality", "sociality", "language", "personality", "opinions", "social animal", "needs". :roll: :roll: :roll:

I'm already "too human" for my own taste. And I'm just so sick of it.

"Compassion"? "Callous and cruelty?" "Survival"? "Actualization"? "Sensitivity, impulsivity, control"? Utterly trivial.
