I hear war drums

Share away, please! Btw, I believe everyone has the right to understand in their own way how autism and society interact, so please don't feel the need to exert too much effort on pedantry unless you really want to. Personally, I appreciate diverse persepectives because I feel it gives me a well-rounded view of the situation. It's like if we were all standing around an object. I can only see my side, but if we all shared our own perspectives, then we could see 360*.

This is similar to how I function with reading people now. I have to build a profile of every person in my head. When I first meet them, I know the elementary ones like smiling, nothing, and crying. If it looks like I'm going to be around this person for a while, I start noting what their faces look like when they're feeling a certain way. If it's someone I will need to trust, I will ask them a question they will lie to to see what they look like when they are lying.

Me when someone asks me to tell/teach them about one of my special interests...

Me: For real‽

Them: Yep

Me: But like, how much do you want to know?

Them: Everything

Me: Even if it's a lot of information and takes an hour?

Them: Yes

Me: And you'll stop me if it's too much?

Them: Yep, I'll stop you if it's too much.

Me: 😮 hold on. let me think....ok... 😮‍💨 ...so....non-stop talking for an hour possibly using props and a board/paper for illustrations. several related tangential topics come up and added to a list of topics to discuss later.

I can even do info dumps on topics I don't care about. I really like the passion that comes along with it.

Looking at people and their intrinsic motivations desires

How to do this pls? One of my autistic traits is that I can't read people's intentions.

Could you elaborate on the lessons you have learned from those resources pls?

Learning to really accept myself and to stop judging myself helped me to build some confidence. Which in turn helps to handle (or survive) situations which ask to much from me.

Learning to listen to myself. If I feel, that I don’t want to do something, I don’t have to. Not now, maybe later, OK?

I like these two a lot. Congrats!

I'm happy for you :)

How did you come to like that? When was the first time you tried it?

I can see the Multipla being uglier than the Cybertruck because it looks like two differently-sized cars spliced together. However, there is no way I agree the PT Cruiser, Chevy SSR, and Aztec are uglier than the Cybertruck. Look at the Cybertruck again. It looks like a 10 year-old drew a truck on MS Paint using a mouse.

it might be the ugliest car ever made honestly, i urge people to find an uglier mass-produced car.

milkshake and broccoli (or any veggie)

this one actually disgusted me

It's practically "illegal" to be obese in the US Marine Corps. Those that don't meet the requirements, get put on a special training program, generally have informal extra duties, are prevented from being promoted, lose opportunities for nice billets & duty stations, and can eventually get kicked out.

Reqs were based on height to weight ratio. Of someone exceeded the reqs, then they could request one of those pinch tests. The 2nd option was mostly used by those that had a lot of muscle mass yet little fat.

I recently started watching Narcos about a week ago, and this is the first time I realize that the guy in this meme is the portrayal of Pablo Escobar 😮😋

Zed's Dead

I honestly would appreciate one of less evident signs pls

Thank you!

environmental and animal welfare groups were least likely to have diverse leadership

Interesting! I wonder why that would be the case. Any ideas?

my celebrity crush: Zoe Saldana. she kinda looks like an alien, but damn...she is the epitome of beauty, my Aphrodite 😍

yes
