A-freaking-men! oh my god this bothers me so much. How dare the people on the explicitly autistic section of Lemmy not immediately understand textual social cues and telepathically understand all of the current Leftist Rhetoric™?

I swear, 90% of the people in 196 think they're the only person here who isn't autistic, genderqueer, or both. It's a gay bar where half the people in it are straight. Autistic people love written rules, so what if we put one rule in the sidebar that we don't actually expect a single person to follow and then just assumed everybody knew the rest?

Everybody loves hanging out with the weirdos until they actually start acting weird.

Oh my god I feel so seen

This is why I put a lot of effort into seeming like a normal person when I'm not at home, it actively stresses me out, but I don't want to be treated as different.

At least I can be a weird cat on Lemmy and nobody gives me shit. It's quite refreshing.

So perfectly worded and I feel this so hard. I was nervous to post this as I was sure I was just gonna get hate for it but glad others are finding catharsis in the sentiment getting out there :)
