@actuallyautistic Has anyone ever told you that you were “too vague”? Earlier I was talking with my mom about our plan to leave our cabin and I said “the only reason I’d need to come back after we eat lunch would be to shower” and she said “well you can do that at home” (I had already mentioned earlier how I wanted to shower at home). So I said “that’s my whole point” which started an argument about how I’m not clear in mt communication. 1/2

@actuallyautistic She said “I think what you’re REALLY trying to say is that you don’t want to come back here after we eat lunch,” and I said “yes that is what I mean.” Then she goes “well why didn’t you just say that to begin with? Do you have a problem with saying you want to leave after lunch?” I was like…no? I have zero issue with saying that! THAT WAS MY WHOLE POINT 🤦🏻‍♀️ smh 2/2

@Pawpower @actuallyautistic I think she’s also ND so that explains part of it. Idk sometimes I only make sense to myself in my own head 😭😂

@Pawpower @actuallyautistic The “being too vague” stuff tends to happen only around my family, in other situations I’m almost always seen as being TOO clear where I’m perceived as rude. Idk what causes that difference in communication.

@actuallyautistic
What kind of music do y’all like?

I’ve found that my music taste sometimes mimics that of my friends, but generally I listen to completely different stuff than most people. I love heavy metal, folk/bluegrass, anything indie, 50’s-80’s music, and a lot of traditional songs from the Renaissance, Middle Ages, and earlier. I also like Christian hymns but that’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Would love to expand my own tastes by hearing from y’all!

@hauchvonstaub @actuallyautistic I like to listen to a lot of video game soundtracks too. One of my recent favorites has been the soundtrack to the game Abyssal (it’s on Roblox lol). It’s amazing and fits the theme of the game perfectly.

@peteorrall @actuallyautistic I love a lot of Hancock’s music! I’ll have to look into the other artists.

I’m also right there with you as far as mainstream music being uninteresting.

Anxiety…how often does it affect you?

@RoseThorndyke @autism101 @actuallyautistic There have been maybe 2 or 3 times total in my life where I have had absolutely zero anxiety and they felt surreal. It felt like an out of body experience to have so much joy.

@actuallyautistic Has anyone figured out the NT obsession with light touch? It drives me insane and I can’t understand how anyone could enjoy it.

@actuallyautistic We're minutes from loading the car and hitting the road to VA

My mom asks me "have you got all of your stuff together?" I go "maybe, what is 'all my stuff'?" (which I feel is a valid question)

She says "only you can know what 'all your stuff' is, I don't understand when you talk to me in riddles"

You think I'M the one talking in riddles? :thonking:
