Mine is: sticking with my principles and with doing the right thing even if I could "simply" ignore them and enjoy more things and having a really hard time explaining it because most people don't understand "justice" or "doing the right thing" as a feeling.

And being called dumb by NTs frequently because of this.

I really hate being social with them...

    Feeling like, every time I'm in a group of NTs, that if we were stranded on a desert island they'd vote to eat me first.

    And having a lot of social anxiety because of that feeling. But also having a lot of empathy for others while constantly being misunderstood, vilified, and ostracized by those same people.

    What's "Viral Synesthete" supposed to mean?

    I also have the soul of a raccoon, but it’s buried in a pile of blankets, chips, and watching cartoons until it’s warm out again. Then my raccoon soul bathes in the sun with those same chips and cartoons.

    My nervous system is an opossum on three cans of monster energy that’s trying to cross a freeway, blindfolded.

    The ADHD probably plays a role in some of that, lol.

    Let’s not idealise autistic people, it’s borderline fetishising with a touch of aspie supremacy. My autistic father has a soul of a feral dog pack when he doesn’t run them over on purpose.

    I do not vibe with this comment at all but i will upvote because the falacy of aspie supremacy is a serious topic we ought to have at some point when more of us are free from oppressive social stigma and hurtful norms.

    I mean, fair, but also, it's just a meme :)

    I love humour so much that it pains me when it’s used to misinform. Maybe it’s an accumulated grudge because I see how some of my friends share memes that are very relatable but are insidiously misleading in a way that either strokes ego or benefits capital in some way.

    I genuinely think autistic people are „better” at things I care about but it doesn’t make them inherently ethical.

    Hm, I'm not sure Golden Retrievers are inherently ethical either. I do think ASD peeps have less filters and therefore tend to be more "pure" in their displayed personalities, if that makes sense.

    I’m pretty sure golden retrievers were used to evoke certain emotions - they’re innocent (like every dog), lovable goofs.

    I’d like some people to develop filters because some use it as an excuse. See Musk and that type of aspies.
