I agree the world would be better with more autstic organisation.
How exactly can we make public transport less overwhelming though?
We (and adhd) should also be careful towards this line of thinking does not spinning out into a superiority complex. Presumably the neurotypicals aren’t being weird or dumb, there just born differently and prone to being stuck in a narrow mindset. (Irony intended)
Re public transport:
In Europe a few years back a piercing noise was added for closing doors (for trains, trams subs etc), supposedly helping some disabled.
However exactly this is torture for some people with sensory overload.
Changing this would help a lot.
Which just feels incredibly condescending actually, as someone that uses a wheelchair. It reminds me of when people talk louder to me because I'm using a mobility aid. Like, there are better (visual) indicators that could be used for hard-of-hearing folks, so I'm struggling to understand which disabled folks this benefits compared to traditional door closing auditory indicators. There's a Melbourne tram rolling stock that's similarly loud and shrill.

Fewer people per sqm I busses and trains would help a lot.
That lessens the advantage of public transit over cars though
I dunno where you're from, but here (Germany) I couldn't imagine how that could be done. Haven't used public transport for 30yrs now but it already was horribly overcrowded back then. Nowadays population rose tremendously, cars got more expensive, and in the near future (20-40yrs tops) the poorer ones won't even be able to drive a car anymore at all.
Yet public transport remained practically untouched since then. How would these numbers fit into "less people per sqm"?
The people who say everyone is a little Autistic are the ones who have been hanging around a bunch of Autistic people. They may be Autistic themselves.
Learning styles are a myth though, it basically just boils down to people learning more effectively when they're better able to pay attention.
This I've learned some time ago (I forgot when), but yeah, learning styles are just not a thing. That's just a deflection of one being able to pay attention because we're all visual, audio and touch-based learners at the same time. I think there's a video on it if I recall correctly, but I forgot the channel name.
It has been reported on by many different people.
I enjoy harsh, bright lighting. It makes my brain think, it's the middle of the day, so we need to be awake and doing things. 🙃
Same! So happy to see I’m not the only one. Blue light regulates our sleep cycle by inhibiting melatonin production. During the daytime, I need my bright lighting.
I am not autistic at all, but I'd like to point out that I haven't seen a tag on clothing in over a decade and wouldn't buy it if it had one.
What mythical world do you live in? O:
I definitely wouldn't say I haven't seen any, but I agree that they're way less common. It used to be 100% guaranteed, now I feel like they print right onto the fabric at least half the time 🤷♂️
Hey. Wanna see some shit?
But I worry that the stubs that would be left behind if I cut them off would be even scratchier.
Ugh. I guess I've been lucky. I mostly wear t shirts and jeans these days, which could be a factor. Nice nails btw :)
Someone does your clothes shopping for you?
softer music
B-b-but… mah hardstyle
Softer music is also my one main disagree. I need my metal and my rap and my electro thumping.
I want my kick real loud and my beat real slow. Bass all the way up, don't turn that thing low.
Praised be the holy bassgod
I'm a raver... Soft music and I don't exactly mix.
I imagine this is about music in public settings like restaurants and such.
Do 2000 people venues not count as public?
Is Finland autistic paradise?
Every once in a while I hear about how grocery store clerks in the US are expected to have an actual conversation with customers, so at least we're good in that aspect.
Judging by my son you also forgot copious amounts of gore like everyone should enjoy videos of the top 10 face getting ripped off scenes in movies.
Also, cats.
What's stimming?
Excellent question! It's kinda similar to a tic, there's a quick read here
Thanks! I did all those thing so much but I don't any more, at least not excessively 😋. Self stimulation, it makes a lot of sense (for me) 🩷 !
Is anyone else bothered by the grammar of the items in the list? Like what kind of sentence is this?
It fucks up my mind. I feel like it's written by an NT.
It annoys me to no end
