Media stereotypes about humans need correcting.

BIG TIME.

Which one bothers you most?

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic The suppressed empathy thing is pure, unadulterated 💩.

  • that we have no empathy
  • that we don't feel
  • that we all have to have special interests and special talents ("thanks Rainman")
  • that we have to act and to behave in a certain way to "be autistic" (and what way would that be?🤔)
  • after more than 50 years of intensive training and thanks to being gifted, I've almost perfected my "manual for humans". So now I am able to react appropriately in almost every situation. But that does not make me less autistic.

To start with that autistics are cold and do not have emotions. There are plenty more.

@theautisticcoach @actuallyautistic I have had chronic insomnia all my life. Everyone and everything needs to crawl out of my butt about not fitting into the 8-5 world.
I can't.
I'm still really creative and have a good vocabulary and sense of humor. I'm not broken.
Plus, why does everyone have to go to work at the exact same time and cause rush hour traffic twice a day?? That's really dumb.
