    What do you wish your parents had done differently?

    It's someone who is always saying nasty and hurtful things to you, like "You're ugly/fat/stupid/lazy/weird/evil/worthless, and you should just go kys". They might not physically hurt you, but in a way the emotional pain is even worse because it's on the inside.

    Autistic Positives

    I think it's what made me so resistant to peer pressure as a teen. Other kids were always smoking but I never smoked. Unless it was second hand coming from from them and adults. Which I hated.

    Why are we stupid enough to trust people then they hurt us?

    Who says I trust anyone? There's so much crap in the world now I need to wear waders.

    Why didn't the lifeguard rescue the hippie? Because he was too far out, maaan!

    I Think The Worst Part Of Being On The Spectrum Is...

    Being bullied for having unusual or intense interests even, if they are harmless. Being forced into living conditions that are not good for people with sensory issues or a need for privacy and peace and predictability. Being scolded or even punished for not acting NT or "normal". People not...

    Why was the Easter Bunny so upset? Because he was having a bad HARE day.

    Is it cinnamon, or lead?

    I guess if you get sick these days, it really was "just something you ate". Unless you have a cold, because you're supposed to feed it, or something. But seriously, it looks like there is nothing left in the world that's safe to eat. Everything will poison and kill us in some way no matter how...

    Empathy for non-living things

    I'm not usually that attached to non-living objects unless they look like living things, like toy figures and stuffed animals or something like that. I've had to get my washer and dryer replaced I don't know how many times and that's all that they are to me, something to wash and dry my clothes...

    Does anyone like collecting?

    I've been working extra hard to thin out some of my collections the past couple of weeks. I'm getting a new desk for my computer sometime in May and I need extra space to move it upstairs into the apartment. I guess it's for the best. My mother said my dad was a real collector too, but I never...

    What is your favorite jelly bean color (flavor)?

    My two favorite flavors of jellybeans are black licorice and green lime, the ones most other people seem to hate. My least favorite color/flavor is yellow/lemon. But I eat them anyway. Most people think jellybeans are for kids, but Ronald Regan liked them, apparently, and kept a jar of them on...

    Autism is a "disease"?

    It seems that whether or not autism is a "disease" depends on how functional you are. Like many if not most adults with "mild" autism I don't see it as a disease at all, but all you ever hear about is children with "classic" autism who can't do things like speak or use the potty and how...

    Can you please tell me fun facts about spiders?

    Do you pick grass?

    You can pick up Lyme disease carrying ticks just from sitting on grass these days. I miss the 80s. I'd go camping and swimming and do all kinds of fun stuff in the summer back when no one worried about Lyme disease or West Nile Virus or Zika Virus or even really rabies, although we did get our...

    *Little* Things That Annoy You (Pet Peeves)

    Commercials that start out with "In these uncertain times, bla bla bla..." Commercials that end with "We're all in this together." Biggest lie of the 2020s, man. Commercials where they have kids that are supposedly "cute" but they're really evil little brats while their parents are stupid and...
