don't worry i got the "good at science" autism and the only difference is that i'm constantly told i'm "so smart!" as i continue living on emergency welfare and no one wants to hire me because i can't work full time
Wait, you're still called smart, even if your abilities can't be exploited?
Love having a skill set that is absolutely unable to be turned into a sustainable career in our current economic structure and situation.
Degree in wildlife conservation... Right as the country begins to absolutely demolish funding and career opportunities for these fields.
Also, for being a highly competitive field, it pays absolutely jack shit. You literally have to be well off in order to even have a chance at getting a foot in the door, or be good at networking but the whole "autistic as fuck" thing kinda makes networking fucking impossible.
So even if I did land a job, I would still be stuck in a life of poverty.
I hate fucking life.
Shout out to the "disassociate into every fantasy universe imaginable" type
That's where the maths are at too. I wish I had toys instead.
Having toys would have required my parents to have not thrown out my shit throughout my childhood. Up to and including my own medical records.
real
That is also accurate lol
I have the politics and history autism, people think im mentally insane
Well, yeah! Politics will drive anyone mad, let alone an entire history of it. We love you all the same.
You and me both buddy, you and me both... sigh
Not to be a buzzkill but this makes autism sound like some singular random quirky trait rather than a complex and profound difference in how you process the world around you as well as your own thoughts. Really rubs me the wrong way as an autist.
as another autist this is just very much how it feels, though
there's a pretty clear tendency for people to fall into various broad "kinds" of autism, just like how people in general tend to fall into categories like "sports person", "fishing enthusiast", or "motor vehicle nerd"
i feel more that its a way for neurodivergent people to poke fun at how neurotypical people dehumanize them into babbling morons with no agency or feelings unless they happen to have the idiot savant trait that can be exploited
you can also get the "good at science, bad at math" kind. which is worse.
You can also be the "good at maths, bad at maths" kind
good at seeing patterns in math, dyscalculic
Same here. It sucks.
Look at the bright side, people won't ask you to do math or science for them all the time.
Tell me your top 10 One Piece episodes and why
Literally anything Wano arc or Whole Cake Island arc. Self explanatory.
..... wait, fuck, that was a trap wasnt it?
I got the "loves academics but can't survive in academia" autism which really blows tbh
