I do not know how people do regular socials. I truly don’t.

I can barely function after ~2 relatively short socials a week. It’s so exhausting and the social hangovers are intense.

It’s ALWAYS easier with other autistics though, and usually easier with other ND people, more broadly speaking. I’m still dreaming of a regular board games club locally. One day I’ll find one or find some people to help set it up (way too much & exhausting for me alone).

@JoBlakely @AnAutieAtUni @actuallyautistic My rpg gaming group meets weekly, and has 2 adhd, 2 autistic, and 1 audhd (+1 more audhd when they can make it from out of town). We'd meet more often if we could (we call it RLI: real life interferes/interferences), and have in the past.

I feel like I'm less impressed or intimidated by famous people than most other people. They're just people, right?

Is that an autistic thing? Like maybe not appreciating arbitrary hierarchy?

@llPK @JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic I can think of some people that I could get all fanboy about (yeah Greta ☺️) but I'm also super sensitive so if/when I do meet them I try to treat them as normal as possible and only compliment them if it seems ok, even stating it matter of factly instead of gushing like I might want to. Part of it is conscious/willpower but part is also natural/shyness. Otherwise yeah, I have to have an interest or reason to like them first before I even care.

@filmfreak75 @ferricoxide @actuallyautistic Yeah there's a big difference if someone does this only with one or certain people as opposed to in general. At first I was wondering if this was a post about critical thinking.

@filmfreak75 @ferricoxide @actuallyautistic Yeah that's a crappy way to treat someone, unless it's been earned, and by which I mean on general principle, not as an accusation. :)

We got free lunches at work: on the weekend, they send the menu, people choose between three options for each of two meals for each workday, and the food is delivered every day fresh from a restaurant nearby(not a fancy one, typical “homemade” food). If you need, they provide options for vegans or food restricting diets.

I am the only person in the office not doing that. I cannot explain to my coworkers why.
No, I don’t think the food is bad. No, I am not dieting, I am not looking for ‘something healthy’, I am not counting calories.

I am eating at work my fruit and yogurt every day, not being restricted to the time when their food arrives, and I am happy.

I can’t explain to them that I can’t carry such a commitment as decide on a weekend what to eat each day, and have to follow that. What if I don’t feel like that food? What if it’s not what I pictured in my head when ordering? What if I am not hungry? What if I get hungry earlier? And I just can’t do a full meal in the middle of a day and work after that. The meal should be at home, with some rest after it, or in the restaurant, with a good walk before and after, and good conversation during it. And I don’t want to eat a salad if it wasn’t done this very second right here because of frivolous microbiology thoughts. And anyway I prefer to cook myself, when I know perfectly well what it is, how it is done, and I balance the tastes and flavors to my own liking(I like to go to gourmet places somewhere, but it’s not an everyday experience, I doubt I’d be able to eat out every day anyway)

So, I’ve been asked again and again why wouldn’t I order something for myself, and every time I have to say ‘no, thanks’ and can’t tell why.

Apparently I am a picky eater.

@olena @actuallyautistic The first step of my whole neurodivergent self-discovery was finding out that I was a "super-taster" after a lifetime of being called a picky eater.
