The paper I mentioned in another toot also said that (autistic) people with malfunctioning autobiographical memory have trouble picturing both past and future.

It made me realize that I've never really thought about future. It's abstract to me. I can think about future in terms of upcoming events, or by preparing things for teaching or presentations, for instance. I've also had daydreams or plans about what I want to do. However, I rarely, if ever, actually think about it.

"Where do you see yourself in five years?" seems such an odd question to me. I can picture myself doing exactly the same things five years from now but that's not what the question is about, isn't it?

Reason 42,343,648 why allistic people shouldn't be allowed to create forms.

"Name of person whose certificate you're requesting"

So um, if the person is filling out a name change form, do they put the current LEGAL name of the person OR the old name that's being changed?

I assume old name, but that's ALSO a false statement on something I'm about to sign, & have notarized as being a TRUE statement, because it's NOT that person's name.

I've got a theory on NTs. They are total narcissists, in that tgey only can care about their own emotional state. To a NT, the problem of the coming omnicide isn't a problem because of the death and destruction already in the mail. It's a problem because it's hard to block out awareness of that, and that messes up their current emotional state, interfering with their ability to live life the way they want. 1/

Anyone else think better when their hands are busy? 🙋🏻

I read audiobooks while I'm sewing, solving visual puzzles, taking pictures, crafting, and just about anything else that doesn't involve words.

Today that's looking like playing with a new printing process while filling my brain with history and theory of nonbinary identities (in preparation for my ACES VCon talk next month).
