I feel like I'm really getting into autistic spaces in the past couple of months. It feels very different from the past couple of years, not to say the rest of my life.
Being able to express my feelings without constantly being told they're invalid is a completely new concept for me. Relating to people and them relating to me.
Not sure what to make of it rn but I kinda like it. I don't fully trust it yet but I try to.
@CynAq@haui@actuallyautistic ...because 'no algorithms', probably. I find what I like rather than some algorithm telling me what I should watch/listen to/etc. It mostly works.
It's easy to miss a post on Mastodon. If you join my monthly e-mail list, I'll bribe you with a free book "Daniels Debt to Society: A Bad Boy to Mailgirl Story."

What are mailgirls? They are young, fit women who run messages around select offices all day, and they must work completely nude under strict discipline
So what if a judge sentenced a misogynistic man to the life of a mailgirl to stay out of jail?
Finding out that I have spent my life scripting things to say just to make other people happy and make social interactions go "smoothly" at the cost of my own mental health, personal integrity, and self-identity is an masked Autistic experience.
@AutisticAdam@actuallyautistic God, you mean like 'rehearsing' the inevitable and possibly difficult conversation in your head? I do that all the time.
@Cuteblooded@Troll I found that posting about stuff that interests me, following bright people who respond, and using hashtags is not a bad way to start. And check the local feed and the fedi feed from time to time to find new people to interact with. #welcome
Do you have a moment to talk about... (lemmy.ml)
