![]() | there are a lot of vegan protein powders out there |
![]() | never been one, most likely never will be one, because my family is just too broken and i despise a lot of them. and i also don't want children, so that is out of the picture. i also really hate interacting with the families of people i date |
![]() | shy guy wrote: That could be a part of it. As a AFAB person, with possible autism, i also read it as him just calling her a pretty blonde. So i'm not fully sure, but i'm sure my friend doesn't have autism, and she was so confused on the matter while i was 90% sure he meant to just call her a pretty blonde. i honestly would have stumbled over these words as well as a neurotypical person. there are just certain things attached to certain words / word combinations, and the "pretty blonde = dumb" combination is a very obvious one, don't you think? but i also personally wouldn't like being "reduced" to my hair colour lol |

![]() | Lavvi wrote: hmm im bad at giving examples on the top of my head. im really trying the few times lately isnt something i feel like sharing ![]() but i can put what i usually tell people when i get close to them, one of the main things is that i dont always understand the hidden meanings and to please say things straight out. then they have hidden meanings(maybe they dont even mean to) and dont let me know if i didnt follow and see it? then get upset because i didnt get it. and me saying "hey i might come with own experiences when youre talking about something, its to let you know i understand you. if you dont like this please tell me so i can work around it when its about you/remember and do my best" and then they get upset about it, but hold it in until they get really mad about it? all the passive agressiveness is also a huge thing i HATE cause i dont understand why always, i just understand that its something there. ofc that one ive chosen to close my eyes to, if ur upset about something use ur adult words. but for what to look out for is honestly just the words. and please, if you think theres something behind something, or ur wondering if u understood correct, just ask!! i love when people doublecheck if they understood it makes me feel so heard? that might just be my experience tho. no worries about the examples! like you said, i think a lot of the times people don't even mean to hide what they actually feel. i think it's just how we have been socialized in order to be nice. it is seen as rude to just say things directly, which sometimes is absolutely necessary, but other times it's making things a lot harder, even between neurotypicals themselves lol i will try to do it that way :) |
![]() | Destroya wrote: well first of all, autistic people tend to be really honest (some even to the point it's rude, which I sadly linger on sometimes). so if someone is asking me something like.. if I wanna go out to dinner with them or something, and I tell them no because I'm tired, neurotypical people tend to go more like ''it has something to do with me'' or ''she doesn't like the restaurant I was talking about'' or whatever?? when, if it had something to do with THEM I would've said that and if it had something to do with the restaurant I would have said that cuz I'm brutally honest!! and the misunderstandings that come from this, because our answers are sometimes short but honest, is really exhausting i see, thanks! well i would consider myself a very honest person, so i personally mostly tell the truth as it is as well. but i have definitely given answers like "i'm tired" or "i have other plans that night" because i didn't want to hurt the other person. if i just told them "i don't like you" or "you breath stinks and i don't want to sit close to you" i know that would be too rude lol |
