Why did you call me out in the first second with knowing fonts way too well

This brings back memories of the time I was at a party and one of the other guests, a child psychologist, asked my (non-ASD) wife, "Soooo..... does your husband know he has Autism?" 🤣

Honestly, talking about fonts and their effective applications sounds like a fine conversation. I'm in.* *under the condition I don't have to leave my home or change from my sweatpants or be assaulted by bright lights.

There is no shame in leaving your house with comfy sweatpants and sunglasses. Some people may judge you, but you are the one wearing some cool shades and not having to deal with bright lights so I would say you would be winning

Absolutely! As someone who is into Graphic Design (and autistic lol)

This is remarkably relatable. And cute. Well done!

When a neurotypical person asks me if I'm autistic, I'm offended. When an autistic person asks me if I'm autistic, I'm flattered. I actually am not autistic, but I have C-PTSD. If a neurotypical person asks me this question, odds are they are using it as an insult. If it's an autistic person asking it, odds are they're just trying to establish trust. Trust is the love language of people with C-PTSD. There are similarities between autism and C-PTSD, which makes it easier to empathize with one another. The vast majority of people don't give a shit about our comfort. They want to "fix" us in order to fit in.

We're Not Broken by Eric Garcia is the best book I've ever read. It's about autism, but i think it's applicable to anyone with a disability, and really even to people without significant disabilities, since we all need support sometimes, and should love and accept both ourselves and others. Pretty sure I'm autistic though.

I find that it really does depend. Neurotypical people aren't a monolith, a lot of them can tell something is up (even if they don't know exactly what) and are asking as to why. Admittedly I do have to do a lot of convincing for most neurotypical people about stuff to do with autism. I can get away with that because I really love talking and got fairly good at it over the years. Plus I have built up plenty of useful analogies. Like if you are ever having trouble explaining what being non verbal is like, the best analogy for an nt person I have found is trying to place your hand on a pan you know is hot. Sure you can physically do it, but that doesn't change that without great mental strain your hand is not going on that pan. If they don't accept the analogy, that's their problem. Usually they are at least willing to hear you out.

As someone else was saying, neither NTs nor NDs are a monolith: our interpretation of phenomena are just models to better understand their apparent characteristics. Segregating ourselves in these made-up categories can be comfy, but it's childish and harmful long term, especially when you end up identifying yourself with a clinical diagnosis.

Its so funny. I swear im autistic in sime way but ive gotten so good at controlling how im perceived that i genuinely make people think im normal. Maybe borderline. Every psychiatrist gives me a different diagnosis 😂

Bro I think everyone and their mom knew I was autistic but never told me... You know how exactly I started to suspect something was off about me? From a random 18+ manhwa. When I was 29. Not even kidding...

Noe make them also shy.

LOL, me and my best friends!

This feels so much like an episode from the peep show

This is a very sweet video.

this is the most relatable ever, tho, very painful experience. I can date like once a year or two, or I will lose it, ngl. Always end up very very horror for me.

Not really feeling the spark is so accurate

My doctor is autistic. Sometimes I found it weird how I said something, and instead of reacting like I expect she just stares at me for 5 seconds with a blank expression :DDD I guess it's normal, I've now found.

so cute... but honestly thinking about cool fonts... wishing i could remember names..i used to print them out to have my favorites on a sheet. short studies in graphic design but then went off on a font tangeant. copperplate was always a fav and considered printing off labels for my spices but printer went off with the ex and the gf he wasnt cheating on me with.....cuz he said it was in my head. nope very real but moving on.... thats ok no spark anyway and i had better conversation with my dog. good luck to them. maybe their wedding invitations in some swirly script font. or lets be real itll be comic sans cuz its a joke. soon it'll all be in her head too. poor girl. but thats the way life goes anyway cute video

Stuart, is your family from North or South Carolina? Maybe Spartanburg? We share the Laws family name, so I was curious. (Not as common as Law or Lawson, etc.) 😉🙂‍↔️

I wonder if autism is human beings adapting to low sensory and low energy conditions and normalizing to it... and then when exposed to high energy and high sensory conditions becoming overwhelmed and irritated by it (to the point of not being able to cope or think straight) so that you don't operate properly.

guys please don't take this video seriously, i'm autistic and i assure you im not like this lol 🤣

This is entirely possible, as it seems over years the only people I want to continue engaging with are neuro-divergent, so there are almost no neuro-typicals in my life.

Either express it outright, or wear a “Autism awareness” bracelet, and play with it to the point they have to make the connection

Who’s they? If it’s an autistic person, we don’t always assume things. If it’s an allistic person, they assume everyone is allistic.

Not being funny here - saying this as someone who's supposedly ADHD - I feel like we're stretching the certain categories of neurodivergence to the point that they're not helpful. Or to put it more personally, I'm pretty sure two or three of my friends could be diagnosed as autistic, but honestly I just think of them as people who interact differently than the average person. I'd far rather understand who they are as individuals than try to interact with them based on a diagnosis/neurodivergent category. EDIT: I looked over what I wrote, and thought some folks might think I'm saying that autism isn't a thing, and I'm not saying that. I know I'm neurodivergent, I experience flow/hyperfocus, distractability because just one thing at a time isn't enough stimulation, a tendency to impulsivity, etc. And among my (newer) friends is a guy who shows virtually no facial expression, converses very awkwardly and monotone, doesn't have the best sense of timing. One of the things I love about the guy is that he still shows up to social events and contributes and stretches himself when it's very obvious it's not comfortable for him, but he knows the other person values his doing that. I have no idea whether he has a diagnosis of autism, and I honestly don't care, it's not going to change how I interact with him.

Especially since the “average person,” definitionally, doesn’t exist. Everyone deviates from this imagined average to some extent, so it becomes totally subjective about where we’re gonna draw the line to say this person is neurodivergent or that person is an autist. I think it’s easy to get obsessed with labels, and that obsession gets in the way of just being yourself and allowing others to just be themselves.

It honestly confuses me. My best friend is sure they are autistic. I see they try to hope or find others to be autistic too, and wondered if it is an online thing, everyone trying to get everyone else to be so they feel normalized. If they do not want marriage or deep relationships, it just feels like time to move on. Sad.
