One of those days where the sandwich was put in the packaging upside down from how it normally is on the pre-made sandwiches I get for lunch and it's just. Not. Right.

Please don't explain your comments to me. Trust me, I get them.

If I don't get them, I will tell you.

If I make a tangential response to your comment, it's just be being tangential, not confused.

Das „Amt für Soziales und Jugend, Abteilung Hilfen für Schwerbehinderung“ der Stadt Düsseldorf schreibt mir, ich solle mitteilen, wer zu meinem „Autismusleiden“ Auskunft geben könne.

Ich vermute, sie meinen einen Weißkittel. Weil ich selbst ja so gar keine Ahnung davon haben kann.

Was darf ich ausrichten?

Unwritten Rules of Conversation

i have never understood any of the unwritten rules of conversation that neurotypical (and many neurodivergent!) people follow, and even though i’m 56 years old i have only this past year started trying to write down what i have been able to figure out on my own. Most of these things come from making the same mistake over and over and over again until the pattern finally becomes clear. i am going to post them here and update this post over time as i learn more rules. Maybe this will help someone else someday.

• Do not talk about suicide with anyone other than a therapist. It will be perceived as manipulation. Even if i think someone cares for me or that they might understand from personal experience, do not discuss it. It will only lead to them feeling hurt. Maybe it’s OK to talk about it in support groups where suicide really is a common thing.
• Do not discuss ideas that come into my head during a conversation, no matter how lighthearted or unimportant they may be. It will be perceived as arguing.
• Do not try to express empathy for someone by relating their experience to one of my own. It will be perceived as “making things about myself”.
• Do not offer explanations for your behavior. That will be interpreted as “making excuses”. If someone insists on an explanation the you must preface it with a statement such as “this is not an excuse” which will probably be ignored anyway. The only safe thing to do is apologize without any explanations.
• Say “You’re right” instead of “I know”.
• Unsolicited advice is criticism.
• Saying what i would do in a situation is perceived as the same thing as giving advice.

‼️🫨 371/2,600 — 2,229 to go 😻 Thanks to everyone who's shown up‼️
UPDATE: landlady agreed to shift the DL to 10 Dec, so it means more time to build up anxiety by then 🥹👍🏻

🚨 2k by 10 Dec 🚨 Hopefully this can be met a lot sooner. I can't live with this much anxiety.
🏠 600 for December's essentials (incl. utilities + meds + internet, etc)

If you can support, please do. If you can’t, reposting helps it reach someone who can. Thank you, thank you 💜🙂‍↕️

@pathfinder @autistics I'm not familiar with the Guppe platform - probably because I just never noticed it was there. Do I need to make adjustments, or will I still hear from all of the fabulous #actuallyaustistic folks?

I want a world that does more than accept differences.

I want a world that honours diversity so much, we birth structures that support #neurodivergent and #disabled people to *be*, to emerge what and how they wish to live with *zero* consideration of *worth*.

For this to happen, *all* must drop the idea of demonstrating worth. Neurotypical, neurodivergent, abled, disabled.

By freeing us, you free yourselves.

Until I am free, you are not free either. (Fannie Lou Hamer)

I'd replace "becoming a millionaire" with doing anything that's amazing because we don't all want money, just the supports we need to overcome executive dysfunction, but our ideas could still do/be amazing things. Some of my ideas can't even be sold, but could still change people's lives. And the ones that can be sold are unlikely to make much money because they will probably only be enjoyed by a minority of people.

But aside from that point, this resonates with me so hard. :blob_cat_cry:

Some of the excuses I have been given all have a familiar feel.

Too old, not old enough, not in our area, auspol tells you to ask x,y and z (they say they need a referral first from #auspol), our housing staff are all on holidays (at the same time), our email/voicemail is not working, you have plenty of time, why have you left it this late, inspect more non-existant or dangerous properties, #coflicting much? #gaslighting
