And we interpret "push past your limits" as push yourself until you literally collapse from exhaustion rather than push past the minor discomfort that we push past every day just to survive. And we assume most of our lives that other people are doing the same and so we feel inferior since it's so much more difficult for us. But

@irotsoma @actuallyautistic You know, I've always hated the "autistic people take things literally" stereotype because it seems to invalidate all the times when neurotypical folk take us literally, but there are times when there is some truth to it and this is one of them.

I feel this so hard. Why can't people just be clear about what they want?

@miss__Tery @zyd @dorgaldir @actuallyautistic The neurotypical style is to start by asking WHY the question was asked, and work backwards to figure out what the question means. In this case, you're supposed to realise that the point of the question is to test what you've learned in maths class, and you're supposed to remember that all the clocks discussed in class were analogue, so the teacher must want you to draw an analogue clock.

Autistic people are often attracted to one particular line in a song and will sing that one line aloud or in their brain for days, possibly in the singer’s accent. This may be considered a form of stimming, as well as a form of echolalia.

@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic For me, the lyrics I return to repeatedly tend to be those for which I have a sense that the line expresses something important, such as an emotion, and by singing or listening to the line I am trying to capture and perpetuate that. (In contrast to an earworm, which is prototypically involuntary and annoying and void of depth.)
