I relate to my cat very much.
It’s the only thing I’m good at.
I think we could be best friends if you had caterpillars in your hair.
What is this thing called “re-lax-ing”?
This duck is my hero.
And scream!
Everyone should have adjectives.
My pain is in my shoulders but I get it. Just got my shots though so it’s not feeling too bad today.
I wanna be this cat.
50%?
Silly cats inject a modicum of sanity into my life.
I like this.
Me after a long day.
He’s heading in your direction right now.
I have to remind myself of this all the time.
Live in your own world.
Cat tax.

#3 a moth divebombed my hair as I was browsing my phone in bed last night. Tried to remove it and it got stuck, deeper. Wasn’t a caterpillar anymore, but it’s the closest I’ve got.
Probably wrecked its wings pretty badly, considering how moth wings are composed.

#1 but give them a (logical) REASON why something should be so, and they'll just self-regulate until the reason no longer applies. So much easier, unless being in control is more important to you than actually getting things done.

#7 when you used to think typing like this was people saving time on phone keyboards but now you think they're probably just illiterate.

#10 You need more voltage for overclocking your CPU like that.

That’s where the chocolate wafer cookies dipped in chocolate pudding comes in.

#10 "There's no way you're autistic!" = I hate autistic people but I really want to fxck you

I have double hulls. So if I hit an iceberg, the water stays out. In case of emergency, I also have high volume bilge pumps, and A life boat as big as my original ship.

Be prepared!

The exisrential dread….

#10 The other night I was at dinner with coworkers and running EnsureNobodyFeelsLeftOut.exe the whole time. "X isn't interested in this topic, it's rude if I realize that and don't try to fix it but also rude if I disrupt J & S, who ARE engaged in this conversation. I don't want to invalidate them, so what do I say that can gently transition us to a new topic without anyone realizing that's what I'm doing?" Calculating every word, analyzing every reaction. Masking is exhausting.

#1 I had a small rebellion about wearing hats in school. I thought it was an absurd rule.
gentlemanmouser
Team Hat!
bikergeek6249
Dunno where you are but in the US it's a carryover from a military etiquette rule about not wearing "cover" (hats/helmets) when indoors. Because male military service was until quite recently nearly universal, it made a bit of sense to inculcate those habits early. I'm not sure why the military rule exists, probably just traditional.

#6 You don't have to be a goat. This is a toddler. At least, it is my toddler currently.

I just got head butted by a toddler yesterday. "I'm a panny!" "Oh, you're a panda?!" **WAM**
Parents: "He meant Pachycephalosaurus."

Either way, it's called being a kid.
gentlemanmouser
I love that!

#10 we autists pick this up usually by default. Info dumping about dinosaurs to some other kids in class that prompt strange looks from them. Odd behaviour getting negative reactions, questions that are met with "it just is". NormalHumanBehaviour.exe is v156.3 and my specs struggle to run it these days
AnonOmis1000
This is why I'm not sure I genuinely don't find interest in things, or if it was just beaten out of me
LiterallyAWizard
Also the constant anxiety of wondering if something you do/say is acceptable in public or around others, especially if the group you're in is also neuro-spicy and aren't following societal norms

I have a bit of a cheat on. Because I'm large and appear intimidating(6'3 will do that to people)absolutely no one messes with me, so I can continue on existing whenever I have to go out in the public. Online I can be my goober self with the few friends that I trust.
Littledirtybirdyfeet
I learned to thoroughly enjoy shock humor. I call this side of me, my Imp. Doing what they didn't expect became fun.
gentlemanmouser
I totally respect your Imp.
diemajorthrilldie
Jhonen Vasquez (The Invader Zim fella) did a bit in one of his comics or a post or something about how we all have a goblin and how important it is to feed the goblin from time to time. Some goblins like shock humor, some like absurd splatter horror but regardless - they all need to be fed and in return they leave you alone.

Man... I broke a couple of months ago, and I don't know if I can ever start that fucking executable up ever again.

Whenever I start Adobe Eyecontact the fans make a high-pitched whistling noise.

I put a lot of effort into hacking and optimising eye contact and it turns out the results were all ... unsettling (unflinching staring is bad apparently, staring at their general face is too, watching their mouth - total no-no), so I gave up and adopted an air of appearing as if I were plucking divine truth from the air which, as it turns out, is also, apparently, unsettling but they seem to respect it.

It has a lot of bugs. As does my audio driver, everything is just so loud! But then again, all my sensory drivers are like that.
America4Tea
My taste and smell drivers got knocked out during Covid. But oh man are my Audio Drivers operating at 150% capability. The buzz of lights are my favorite lol

Oh you know what I absolutely love at 3am? Being able to hear myself blink. SUPER relaxing.

My elder son and I are both thoroughly on the spectrum and share a fair bit of common sensory language and my least favourite of all is when outside is a bit too 60FPS 4K resolution with HDRI. It tends to happen to both of us at the same time which makes me a little suspicious of the allegedly subjective nature of perception and observation.
OlemGolem
I use some darker shaders to counter-balance the brightness and noise-canceling headphones for the background noise. I notice quite a difference in my mood, energy, and lack of headaches because of that. But it will cause people to complain about coming off as anti-social. Well, I'd rather get a headache from their complaints than from the sun.
