#autism mood

Neurodivergent mood ™:

Being told that people can tell when your smile is fake because you’re not “smiling with your eyes” and doing the Eye Crinkle ™ so you just learned how to fake that

Autism in media: I got bored so I read three science textbooks and completed all these equations and now I’m working on the coding for this app-

Autism in real life: I’m so bored that every bone in my body feels like it’s being turned into one but don’t even talkto me about doing something about it

ADHD culture is loving to send voice messages but hating to receive them

Does anybody else wake up and… the day just feels wrong?

And does anyone have any advice on how to cope with it because I am Frustrated

people think taking things literally is just like

• not getting jokes and sarcasm

when in my experience it’s more like

• thinking you have to fulfill 100% of the exact requirements for something, when everyone else apparently knows it’s actually a bit flexible
• answering rhetorical questions and everyone thinking you’re stupid
• SAYING something with a literal meaning and others interpreting it figuratively
• following instructions to a T but not knowing how to modify them if something goes wrong
• wait that song was talking about WHAT??
• doing EXACTLY what someone asked of you and them getting mad that it wasn’t what they meant or actually wanted
• being terrified of people’s empty threats or hyperbole without realizing they didn’t actually mean it
• memorizing all the connotations of different words so you can use them as precisely as possible, getting frustrated when others are inexact
• still not getting jokes and sarcasm

-They no-clip out of the map

if you’re neurodivergent and use fictional worlds as escapism clap your hands

~if you’re neurodivergent and you use make believe to have some friends clap your hands~
