@actuallyautistic #ActuallyAutistic what are everyone’s thoughts on signing cards (birthday, etc.) at work, where you do not really know the person, but there is an implied expectation that you do so

@fishidwardrobe @actuallyautistic my office is really big into kudoboard.com -- i’ve had to do 4-5 in the past 3 weeks -- all for people i do not really know or care to know

@fishidwardrobe @actuallyautistic it's one of those presumed niceties that neurotypicals assume everyone wants and you get judged for not taking part

@actuallyautistic #ActuallyAutistic has anyone tried this and if so, how did it work for you…

Autism & Emails Does A Disclaimer Help Misunderstanding

@willaful @actuallyautistic i was looking for some passive way to disclose and stumbled upon the article -- i am still early days in my diagnosis relatively and my toxic work environment is becoming less tolerable since it

filmfreak75 OP , 29 days ago

@ScottSoCal @willaful @actuallyautistic i briefly thought about disclosing at work to try to put them on notice that they were acting discriminatory to a person under a protected class, but realized it wouldn't change their behavior at the end of the day

@actuallyautistic #ActuallyAutistic i do a lot of meeting requests and receive a lot of emails that start like this:

"Good morning!

I hope you all had excellent weekends.”

I start mine like this, and because of this, am considered an asshole:

“[Name] would like to set up a one hour call on this topic. Please let me know if any of the following times work:”

…because heaven forbid we be efficient and clear in our communication

filmfreak75 OP , 29 days ago

@punishmenthurts @actuallyautistic i have a lot of rage about this stuff since (a) i pride myself on clear and direct communication and (b) with the volume of emails and work i have, there is no time to read a lot of fluff for no reason.

filmfreak75 OP , 29 days ago

@punishmenthurts @actuallyautistic and that is another reason i do not even try

@actuallyautistic #ActuallyAutistic has anyone had a supervisor act so passive aggressively all the time it feels like they are goading you into a meltdown?

filmfreak75 OP , 29 days ago

@punkcoder @actuallyautistic this particular asshole has been doing things for the past 5 years and i was only diagnosed a few months ago so i never know anymore.

i work from home primarily now (and trying to make that permanent) so my meltdown moments are at least in private.

@actuallyautistic #ActuallyAutistic looking for non-rabid #DoctorWho fans for discussions of both the classic and revival series

and by non-rabid, i mean people not on the “it’s gone woke”, “Jodi Whittaker destroyed the series”, etc. bandwagon

@Old_IT_geek @mjgardner @actuallyautistic noticing her accent is my American ignorance

i thought she did an amazing job and really enjoyed her in Broadchurch (also a Chibnal property)

@Old_IT_geek @mjgardner @actuallyautistic i’ve been watching British TV for over 30 years so i notice the distinction in sound but couldn’t determine a region

@jherazob @actuallyautistic i’m in that boat on some of my other shows so i can relate

filmfreak75 OP , 29 days ago

@Susan60 @actuallyautistic i do have concerns over Disney’s potential influence but i’m willing to give RTD the benefit of the doubt for at least now

filmfreak75 OP , 29 days ago

@Susan60 @actuallyautistic your examples are what make me wonder how much input Disney is being allowed

filmfreak75 OP , 29 days ago

@Susan60 @actuallyautistic i’d be fine with Disney infusing cash and distribution but staying completely out of creative matters

@DoctorDisco @lexx3000 @Susan60 @actuallyautistic RTD tends to build to a bigger payoff so
some of the lesser stories may have a reason in the end

filmfreak75 OP , 29 days ago

@Susan60 @manu @actuallyautistic RTD and Moffat were great in my book.

Chibnal was obsessed with his “soft reboot” bullshit and instead of insisting not to make a big deal of the female regeneration, did the opposite.
