I love sharing my struggles here and getting support. This community is so wholesome. I am in the mood for some positivity! What are good things my @actuallyautistic neuropeers are thankful for today?

@calofost @actuallyautistic For people who put up with my behavior when I'm overloaded, and for the recent insight that most people are dumb

Who ever invented ANC headphones. It's been a really loud day. For no reason other than I'm tired.

Sorry for going totally off-topic... but I think I just discovered what makes Star Trek both weird and wholesome:

Every star ship bridge is basically a shared office, yet they manage to communicate effectively (and not more than required).

Likely they also have proper sound design so that one has not to listen to the ensign slowly typing into their console all day.

👍 😀
No unnecessary small talk, no one having a go at someone for just quietly getting on with their work and the captain never demanding that anyone look at them when they're talking.

@wakame @pathfinder @actuallyautistic I'm a regular offender of this I think. Sorry! I get excited about a plot or something in my data and I absolutely MUST interupt someone and show it! Luckily I have my usual willing victims around the office 😆. Yay for astronomy nerds ✨️.

I regularly pause a movie or series if I watch it together with someone to talk about aspects or add side notes.
Thankfully, the people I watch stuff with also do this. :blobcatgiggle:

@wakame @pathfinder @actuallyautistic oh yes 🤭, or I just talk over the movie until someone reminds me 😅.

@wakame @pathfinder @calofost @actuallyautistic When you realize the show is about Upper Management it tarnishes a little. I doubt the janitor gets to keep a pet fish.

@roknrol @pathfinder @calofost @actuallyautistic

On the other hand, the upper management in Star Trek is actually pretty capable.
But then, it's a fantasy.

@roknrol @wakame @pathfinder @actuallyautistic there's an autistic culture podcast about star trek. Must listen to this today! https://www.autisticculturepodcast.com/p/episode-10-star-trek-is-autistic

@calofost @roknrol @pathfinder @actuallyautistic

Oh, it has a transcript. I can't listen to people without thinking about everything else, so that is normally a showstopper for me. :blobcatgiggle:

@roknrol @wakame @pathfinder @calofost @actuallyautistic That's why you should watch Lower Decks!

Definitely! I still can't believe that I managed to get through over 5 decades without realising the glorious relief of both.

@calofost @actuallyautistic I'm thankful that the house in France is paid for and that my folks are still alive enough for me to get a reprieve from my wife.

@roknrol @actuallyautistic This comment brought much joy! A roof and reprieve! Hurray!

calofost OP ,

@actuallyautistic That there are beautiful people in my life who see me and love me. They smile and rejoice with my autistic joy. My husband and daughter are my number one supporters and have stuck with me through and through! Overall, humanity is beautiful, there is hope that NT and NDs can be happy together!

@calofost @actuallyautistic That me and my autistic spouse (neither knew it when we met) managed to move in together and together almost approximate one full adult =)

@melindrea @actuallyautistic That is wonderful! Finding neurokin is pure joy!
