Autism

Like i want to do something where i am my own boss, i make my own time. Im just not sure how possible something like that would be or if its a good idea, Im even sure what i could do to be self employed. I tend to dream big and this may be one of those dreams. I just feel limited on what i can do, Like im too afraid to drive and im stuck at home because i have to look after parents and such. I dont even know how to make a actual resume.

So. I was just wondering. I am not sure if I am an autist. But if i try to pretend I am, this thought feels kind of comfortable. I think thats because it feels like I can stop pretending to be someone else in so many areas since i always act upon learned and manifested observations about 'correct' human behaviour i made throughout my life. What do you guys think about that?

Got the day off yesterday and survived the License Office! Bonus the clerk processing my paperwork is a neighbor and nice.

If I'm lucky I won't have to work today.

Here's a very welcoming Matrix room for autistic peeps. It started awhile back as a room for people on this Lemmy community so we thought it would be good to get some eyes on it again!

The heat has broken! For now.

This is just something I want to get off my chest. I don’t have autism (at least I’m not diagnosed) but I just hate this.

All these people I’ve last seen when I was a kid and they all want to talk to me and hug me. They tell me I’m so tall now and know so much about topic x (tech most of the time) and I just want to tell them to shut the f up.

Sometimes I need to go into a dark, quiet room and just lay down. Sometimes playing the piano with noise cancelling headphones helps, but then all these people ask me where I’ve been the whole time.

I’ll do things I normally hate, like the dishes, just to have an excuse to be in a different room and put in my headphones.

I just wanted to vent a little, but if you have any, I’m open for advice.

This is Burt, he is one of the outdoor kitties we feed. We're hoping to bring him inside soon though.

My phone upgraded and I can't handle the interface change cos I HATE CHANGE. It's bad for typical but really bad for me.

Anyone want to share theirs?

It is Friday. It is raining, I hope to stay inside today.

I had a moment today where I realized that I prefer smaller enclosed spaces without a lot of sound. I know that is a classic Autism trait but I never connected the dots. I've always done what feels best in the moment.
