And we’re also known for thinking outside the box – meaning that if we’re forced to make false decisions based on faulty assumptions, then we are quite likely to make the ‘wrong’ choice.
Interested to hear others’ thoughts on this!

Shank3fx/fx mice...
autistic-like characteristics...
significant deficits in exploratory behavior, anxiety and motor coordination
... open wound lesions ... suggestive of repetitive grooming behavior.
In addition, they show impaired neurotransmission in the dorsal striatum
Totally legit comparision

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS:
TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION
"Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.
Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

Das habe ich verpasst.
Wann und in welchem Kontext wurde das gesagt?

I don't really see aggression there, just another disabled person explaining why they are necessary for him and literally saying he doesn't know about you.
I get why you could percieve it as aggressive, but maybe it's just a case of RSD

Tbf, the request could have included more details than "please don't make them like this"
The response is understandable considering the missing context

Being a person with autism has not been easy but the reason it hasn't been easy- is because non-autistic people are not taught how to interact with autistic people. Autistic people are expected to socially mask & neurotypicals generally don't have even a base idea of how autistic people communicate.

Comic illustration with four panels
Panel 1:
Close-up of the alien writing in a notebook, looking thoughtful and sad. Text above: “There is something I never understood…” A caption box continues: “If I am so lazy, why am I always exhausted?”
Panel 2:
The alien sits slumped at a messy table, surrounded by dirty dishes and clutter. They look tired and overwhelmed. Text: “All I do is trying to catch up with responsibilities.”
Panel 3:
On the left side, the alien struggles to climb up an impossibly steep, endless staircase, looking exhausted and distressed. Text: “It feels like I have to climb endless stairs in order to start.” On the right side, the same person sits cross-legged on the couch, looking blank and inactive. A caption says: “but it looks like I’m just sitting around.”
Panel 4:
Two massive staircases are shown. One is labeled “Work,” the other “Cooking.” The alien stands in front of them, looking frustrated and reluctant. Text above: “It’s especially hard for me when I know I’ll have to climb a different set later.” The person says: “Why should I start working now if I have to stop and cook soon?”
If I am so lazy, why am I always so exhausted?

Autistic people often have two childhoods – once, as an adult in a kid suit, and then later as a kid in an adult suit. #ND
