As a blind, autistic, chronically ill person learning to program, Perplexity has been an absolute game-changer for me! 🙌

Its AI-powered search provides clear, concise answers that are easy for me to process. The accessibility-friendly format works great with my screen reader. And being able to ask follow-up questions helps me dive deeper into coding concepts at my own pace.

But it's not just for coding! Perplexity is also helping me write clearer posts and emails. It ensures my thoughts are organized and expressed effectively, which is a huge help with my communication challenges.

Perplexity adapts to my unique needs, making learning and communicating so much more accessible and enjoyable. It's become an invaluable tool in my daily life and programming journey.

Today my #AutisticCommunication is challenged, which I know because when I tried to say "I can't find my coffee" I actually said "I can't find my inhaler drink" and when I tried to say "Your box in on the cooker" I said "your box is on the fridge that cooks things"

🙈😂😂😂

Whenever someone mentions the alleged autistic communication deficit, all I’m hearing is two things:

1. Allistics must really love cryptic codes that are entirely illogical inconsistent and unnecessary. They’re clearly so offended that we won’t memorize their wacky language.
2. Allistics must looove projecting their shortcomings onto minorities or any demographics they don’t understand. Because that’s all they seem to do

😮‍💨 I just had a conversation end poorly

my intent was decided for me

No room to correct that

I am the only authoratative source on my meaning and intent. It makes *no* sense to have me offer to clear something up and decide to keep hold of your misplaced hurt.

It's got to a point where I don't know how to engage with these people that are my friends. I'm accused of caring more about specific wordings than productive conversations but the moment *I* say something ambiguous, it's assumptions all around and no room for correction. I wouldn't even mind if I was just told what I'm supposed to say and I could go along with it, but of course one is supposed to "just know".

I don't understand these people that will go into a conversation completely uninterested in knowing a truth - for whom an assumption is enough and understanding of actuality outside their realm of care.

I was having *such* a good day, and that was a massive blow. I feel like no ND communucation is allowed - and the best part is, I'm too impulsive to do it any other way

Please stop deciding my intent and listen.

Further to @shengokai and their discussion of the use of quote tweets as 'call and response' i'd like to put forward a defence of them in light of how autistic people communicate empathy.

we do this by relating an incident we feel relates to or, to some extent, mirrors the experience of the person we are talking to. to deny us this is to limit our ability to communicate.
