Hello new followers! Quick intro: elder millennial woman with Aspergers/ADHD. I like to talk about the nosology of autism, try to follow the emerging science, and upset everyone because I can't be reduced to a specific kind of guy. Heterodox as an orientation, not as a shibboleth

Lacan once said “it feels so 80s/ or early 90s/ to be political/ where are my friends?/ GET OFF THE INTERNET.”

@ChristianityOn @molly_rask Yep. But I think girl w/ girl autism and boy w/ boy autism is incredibly stable. I know multiple very happy "love of my life" marriages like that, they usually get really into Star Wars and D&D together for some reason.

@makebelieveleaf @molly_rask I think there comes a point in most autism relationships where the partner must come to terms with the fact that their partner really does have a better disorder and that it really is a disorder

Tbh I didn't realize my genre of Guy With Autism (gender neutral) was so rare these days that tweeting like a walking encyclopedia would get me accused multiple times of not being autistic.

@ChristianityOn @molly_rask Hashtag notallautists, but there usually comes a point where they realize you're not going to get the Miss Congeniality makeover and magically become neurotypical for them.

I’ve been wearing XXXL graphic tees with wolves on them for a while now and I think I’m gonna add basketball shorts to the repertoire

To be fair, they might also be trying to sell me coaching or homeopathic supplements.

Why do these "I see you" tweets always match the cadence of a Pfizer commercial encouraging me to "ask your doctor If Autisiphan® is right for you. Side effects may include..."
🤠@heavensbvnny

adult women who think they have adhd and/or autism. who feel like they have been screaming into the void for years for help. who feel resistant to treatment for depression. who feel failed by every single adult in their younger lives. who worry that they’re wrong and just lazy. i believe you and you deserve the help you think you deserve

@ChristianityOn @molly_rask And by fix his life I mean "help him figure himself out so he can trade up to an NT woman who will actually manage the household for him"

@ChristianityOn @molly_rask Zach Braff in Garden State. Zach Braff in anything actually. Basically any movie with a guy who wants a manic pixie dream girl to fix his life is a boy with girl autism fixating on a girl with boy autism.

@molly_rask @ChristianityOn Both of them tbh. Abed is probably one of the most accurate depictions of that type of autism I've seen on screen. Mel even has the right hair and glasses (lol) Saga Norén from Bron was also pretty good.

@ChristianityOn @makebelieveleaf I think maybe Mel from The Pitt is the best TV representation of female boy autism. Before that I felt most like Abed. Who would qualify as male girl? That’s the one I’m having trouble envisioning.

@makebelieveleaf It was either you’re not autistic cause X, or everyone’s a little autistic… Examples of X: Your chin is too defined You just have really low self esteem You’ve done Y (Don’t get me started on Y)

@ChristianityOn @makebelieveleaf Yeah I’m an autistic woman with this presentation, and I share this observation. I enjoy spending time with autistic women, but usually the people who understand me intuitively are autistic men.

@richmondie We've all had days like that! I didn't understand where you were coming from initially either, and once we got on the same page we understood each other. Most people dig in their heels to save face, you didn't. Which is proof you're a good egg.

@makebelieveleaf But in that case it's not being "swept along," it's about joining a group that already agrees with you.

There is no such thing as autistic "injustice sensitivity" - it's just inflexible thinking reacting to the conceptual framework (aka "the rules") being violated. I assure you people with politics you find intolerable also experience the same phenomenon for the same exact reason

@richmondie This wasn't meant as a subtweet, I'm sorry if it came off that way - just an observation because this keeps happening, and it's interesting how the perception has changed. Two autistic people misunderstanding each other is the most autistic thing that can happen tbh - we're good

@ChristianityOn That's like an uncommon in an Aspergers only pack, but at least a rare in a standard pack.

@ChristianityOn Maybe rarer in women? Because it's less common in women in general and the new cohort is mostly women with a very... different presentation.

@makebelieveleaf I don't think we are all that rare. I think that autism discourse has evolved in a way that has left us behind because no one really wants to be like this. Being a weird nerd who can't relate to people and lives in a world of systemizing doesn't market very well.

@richmondie 😂 I get mistaken for a guy all the time online because my writing style lacks softeners, compresses a lot of info into very few words, and many of those words are 5 dollar words. This is actually how I speak iRL too (and at 1.25 speed haha) - you're not alone in finding it odd

@makebelieveleaf it’s totally fine if you prefer describing your own experience as “inflexible thinking” but i think we should allow other autistic people to describe their experience in the way that rings most true for them
