Is asking questions about basic things an ADHD thing? I thought it was an autism thing.

Yep, already dropped of my mail-in ballot in person and received an email from the county election supervisor that my vote counted 🤠

I would censor the work f–k because it might come off like you’re being passive aggressive and aren’t really trying. Reminds of the time the actor that played Burke on Grey’s Anatomy called the actor that played George a fa—t, then made a public apology saying he’s sorry he called him a fa—t and that he wont say fa—t again, except he said the word. People got even more pissed, and I think he was fired from the show. 🤦

I previously made a comment on how I’ve learned to apologize if you’re interested.

ive been disconnected. what happened?

exactly what i was thinking about. it was such a tense and shameful period.

auties usually spot other auties easily

right, me too! 😁

glad you found us! come on over and check out our communities

Thanks! I hope it takes off :D

thank you!

That’s an interesting one with the jury. They were deadlocked but still insisted on deliberating for 20 hours. I wonder if it was like the movie 12 Angry Men, but instead of one juror advocating for the innocence of the defendant, they argued for their guilt.

i cannot understand why anyone could sleep at night knowing their value in society is 0.

You gotta switch the cables. I’m assuming right now that you only want what you deserve through your labor. If you have extra or someone else is in need, you would rather they have it than you horde it or gain some luxury. Switch the cables so that what you value is hoarding and having luxuries without any merit. If someone else needs something, your power to not give leftovers to them is confirmation of your self-worth.

The ‘do you mind’ question a great example of why many neurodivergent people have such a hard time in social settings, keeping track of all of the contradictory social expectations that don’t make sense is tiring and not everyone is consistent.

Yes! Thank you very much. It’s at least a triple-effect because (1) we get confused about what the response means so we have to focus on solving the riddle, (2) solving the riddle consumes more mental energy so we have less in reserve, and (3) we miss out on everything that occured while we were figuring out the riddle so we have to catch up when we already run slower.

Thanks for the help! I can understand it retrospect, but in the moment, I will be unsure and request confirmation. It’s just how it is 🤷

What does that mean about your preference with the use of “do you mind”-like questions?

I dont think I’ve ever looked at them

Mannnnn, I would be the same way. That whole seeing people cut open is hard enough. I can’t imagine seeing someone I care about anesthetized, cut open, and then their insides. I rather continue my delusion that their insides look like a mix of their outsides and their personality.

Pedants: He asked if she minded. She responded saying, “Sure thing,” which is an affirmative response, meaning that she did mind. He still attempted to use the bathroom despite her saying she was uncomfortable with that.

I have difficulty with interactions in which people use “do you mind” that I have to be extra clear. Anyone else?

Thank you! I am doing better 🙂

what would happen if you climb into that?
