I half jokingly googled autistic meme communication so that I could make a meme to share with my fellow autists at work about how they should just let us communicate via memes, but this is better than I could have ever imagined ๐
The dataset was categorised into eight topics: Social Interactions (n = 190), Emotions and Mental Health (n = 68), Cognitive and Behavioural (n = 56), Sensory Experiences (n = 38), Diagnosis and Support (n = 34), Stereotypes (n = 19), Workplace (n = 15), and Love for Cats (n = 8).
I haven't read it yet but I would love to understand how memes, which are built on implied meaning, are so prevalent in autistic communication? Is it because of the shared experiences? Fascinating stuff!
