When you're feeling vaguely curious and somewhat bored and sliiiiiightly masochistic (this is mild trauma from YEARS ago, so really it was just morbid curiosity), so you look up some of your old "co stars" from your community musical theatre era…
And the Golden Barbie Girl is now an ABA "behavior technician." Suddenly her condescending attitude towards me makes a lot more sense all these years later. If that was her mindset / approach to autism all along (even though I hadn't even suspected it in myself yet)…

Welcome to another episode of The Enshitiffication Show. Today, we're talking about clothing.
For some years now, I've bought CQR cargo pants. I'm autistic. My wardrobe is not super varied. I tend to stick to the brands that I like, and purchase the same item, in various colors.
What to wear is a problem. If I've solved it once, why make my life complicated? I just use the solution I've found.
I used to like CQR cargo pants.
Alas...
This is no longer the case. The last pair I bought has shallow pockets. Most likely, some idiot figured that they'd be saving money by having shallow pockets.
The first clue I got was when I took a nap with my pants on. Stuff was falling out of the pockets. :headache: I eventually took my tape measure, and proved to myself that the pockets are indeed shallower. In the pictures below, you'll find:
* An old pair of CQR pants.
* The new pair.
* A pair of Wranglers with pockets more like the old CQR.I tend to be loyal to brands. Eh. If it works, it works. However, when brands enshittify their products... well... I ain't no fool. If I'm paying a high price for shitty stuff, I might as well switch to another product, which may be as shitty (but maybe in different ways), but will cost me half the price.
I cannot tell yet how the Wranglers will hold up to use. Maybe, I'll have to replace them in one year, but even if this happens, I'm ahead of the game relative to paying for CQR's enshittified pants.
Oh, I've taken naps with the Wranglers on. No problem with stuff falling out of the pockets. 👍

CW: identity issues
I know it's very common for people here to have multiple different identities, (gay, trans, autistic, non-binary, etc,) but is it common for people to feel closeted about some parts of themselves more than others? :/ #autisic #actuallyautistic #lgbtqia #neurodivergent

@maiamaia @Vincarsi @actuallyautistic be kind to yourself. Yes #autisic people can communicate differently to non autistics. Different not wrong. Find your community. Find people who appreciate you. We can sometimes be like foreigners in a place we have always lived. Different culture. Not wrong.

@helen Autism Speaks, as far as I’m concerned, are synonymous with eugenics for #Autisic people. #ActuallyAutistic @autism101 @actuallyautistic

My next group starts today & I'd love to have you join! #AskingAutistics https://theautisticcoach.as.me/december-2022-autistic-life-coaching-group

So my special interest right now is the differences between autistic and non-autistic communication or more accurately, direct and indirect communication (ask/guess culture) and I'd really like to look into the origins/why indirect communication became the majority. But I don't really know where to begin. If anyone has suggestions or recommendations I would love to hear them! #Autisic #SpecialInterest #research #Anthropolgy

Alright. #introduction. I'm bad at this but here we go.
I love #cats and #unicorns and #kpop. I am #queer and #asexual. I'm here in case Twitter burns down and turns into a cess pool. I also watch a lot of #kdrama
I have a suspicion that I am #autisic and have #adhd but this has not been formally diagnosed so I'm stumbling a bit.
Anyway, nice to be here.
