@autismsupsoc
I need to take a 2nd look at this show. I hated it the first time I watched, but its entirely possible it was just more relevant than I was willing to tolerate at the time
@autismsupsoc @actuallyautistic I thought "grok" just meant to understand, at the deepest and most complete level of understanding that a human can have. Total understanding.

@PatternChaser @autismsupsoc @actuallyautistic

You're not wrong:
Total, deeply intuitive understanding of an issue is difficult, if not impossible, to accurately express in words.

@autismsupsoc Do those of us who read this meme in their 2nd tongue get an extra Autistcookie point? πŸ˜ƒ

@ReimanSaara

It’s 2 extra Autistcookies points!

@autismsupsoc
Hmm..... They make captchas to screen out bots.... πŸ€”

@ReimanSaara

@autismsupsoc "Retrograde". No wonder my brain stumbled over that word. 
@autismsupsoc
It's that noise at the beginning of a dialup connection where the two computers discuss what protocol and speeds they support.

@autismsupsoc OH MY GOD THO, WHY WOULD ANYONE DATE SOMEONE THEY DON'T KNOW YET?! WHY?! HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU EVEN LIKE THEM?!?!

I don't understand this. Like, I mean, you shouldn't NEED to be friends with them first to need to want to verify whether or not it's worth your time. How could it possibly be romantic if you don't know the person well enough? Uuuuuuuugh

@autismsupsoc A personal example: at an in person work thing, my team leader asked me how I keep my nail polish perfect. Not quite understanding at that moment what she was asking, I said β€œOh, I only painted them last night!” I didn’t recognise her disappointment until days later. It’s been over 18 bloody months and I cannot figure out a way to actually tell her the real answer, so the whole conversation KEEPS going round my damn head and it’s driving me nuts.

@AmaBagins
Ok, I'll bite. I feel your original answer was correct for the question. Thus I am missing something. Can you share her intended question and what the real answer is? Otherwise I'll be thinking about this for 18 months. lol.

@autismsupsoc

@okeleydokely @autismsupsoc ah! She was looking for actual tips, because nail care and nail polish is a hyperfocus of mine. So the real answer would be along the lines of

1. Wrap the tip
2. Don’t let your nails soak (so wear gloves when washing up, and paint AFTER a bath or shower)
3. Don’t use your nails to open things
4. Use nail oil daily

Etc

In her case, she’s also a competitive swimmer so she’s coming from a fail state in the first place lol

@autismsupsoc Latest "Link is AuDHD" meme: Link uses boomerangs a lot and in fact a boomerang was the most powerful item in Link's Awakening, that he gets through a trading sequence that would make for good ADHD storytelling
@autismsupsoc
Parenthesis are my best friend. (Metaphorically! My actual best friends are a black cat, and a strange human who likes robots... and sucks at answering messages)
@autismsupsoc I dont understand what is meant here. Anybody can explain? #actuallyautistic

@hanscees @autismsupsoc I don't think I would have got it if I didn't watch Only Murders In The Building.

The (coded autistic) character often explains or expands on things during a conversation, as if adding a footnote to an essay. Usually the footnote is unnecessary (the info is already known) or extraneous (it's off topic & not relevant at the time).

It's played more as if he's assuming he's the most knowledgeable person in the room, a bit like mansplaining, but somehow more endearing.

@autismsupsoc Yah the "but ourself" part is so dang painfully true :/
@autismsupsoc You can't outgrow autism, but you can grow into it (like understanding your own mind and de-internalizing stigmata about neurodivergence)
@autismsupsoc
"you ALWAYS do X"
me: "Define always"

@autismsupsoc this is my favorite.

ahahahahahahabahahahahshshshabahahahahahah

@autismsupsoc β€œDo you want the β€˜masked’ answer, or the β€˜oversharing’ one?”

@autismsupsoc

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Not too bad, how about you?

@RowenaMcKenna @autismsupsoc I saw my specialist yesterday, and at work this morning I cleared out 3 crates, and I had rehearsal yesterday, where my part went quite well, but I said that someone's part didn't go well, but that that wasn't a judgement, but a facial observation, so... quite alright, hoe about you?
@autismsupsoc
That question is a pet peeve of mine when dealing with NTs. FFS, don't ask questions you don't want answers to! *explodes*
