Your Autistic Life: The Ruminations of an Autistic Enby

The Examined Life
The discovery of my neurodivergence has been a blessing in disguise, for, together with other crises, it forced me to examine my life. I know for a fact that some people won’t accept that neurodivergence is a blessing at all. These folks sometimes wish that they would be able to do away with their own…

Why Do Autistic People “Make A Scene?”
Because you don’t bloody listen. Going to events can be challenging when you are autistic. It is definitely challenging for me. I have noise sensitivity and social anxiety. I’ve recently learned that I’m liable to crash if I’m overstimulated during a social event. Fun! I’m going to talk about a specific event here. It is…

When Being Polite Is Merely Superficial
Sometimes being polite to someone is actually just a way to get them off your back. People are strange. Neurotypical people are the strangest. Neurodivergent people who are consciously or not propagating neurotypical habits are also among the strangest. Internalized ableism is a thing. Not so long ago, I sent a message to someone who…

If You Can’t Muster Empathy, Shut Up!
I’ve recently gotten a very shitty response to a vent of mine. I decided to vent into the fediverse with this message: This was just a vent. I’m mildly annoyed, but not angry. I did not berate them for their silence. I’m just venting in the fediverse. This is it. I’ve been on the dating…

Stimming Is Life 004
A playlist of music that I stim to. This playlist contains some oldies. I suppose the term oldie depends on what age you are, but I expect that for most kids, some of the music is going to fall squarely in the oldies category. If I do have some trivia about a song that I…

Google’s Enshittification Continues, Unabated
I have a moratorium on buying new Google devices. It is likely to continue. So, I ran into trouble with my Google Chromecast with Google TV device a long time ago.

Ableist As Fuck: “Real-Life Dating Is Better Than Online Dating”
It ignores the very real problem that minorities face in dating. I was at an event last Friday. Towards the end of the event, I was talking to one guy. He was asking about my dates, and at some point he said something to the effect of (paraphrasing): You found people with the online apps,…

Don’t Give Up
No matter how bleak your situation is. Don’t give up! “Who is that bozo telling me to not give up?” This bozo. This bozo had a heart attack at 24. It was due to bad genes. However, when he had his heart attack at 24, he thought his entire life was over. This thought led…

Dating Advice For Autistic People: I Cannot Recommend Hiki
I cannot recommend Hiki for anyone, alas. Here is what I wrote in the fediverse soon after I joined Hiki: Hiki does not seem to be set in a way that readily allows me to find the people who would like someone like me. For me, this is reminiscent of Tinder. My experience on Tinder…

Stimming Is Life 015
Yes music! In need to talk about the Route 66 song. Unfortunately, the electroswing mix that I picked does not exist on Spotify. I had to replace it with Nat King Cole’s version, which I love. This song is a good illustration of the fact that I think ads can be cute, even if I…
