8 yrs old and a potential friend,,

Hey can we like uhh stop using hyperfixation so loosely? Hyperfixation happens only to people with adhd and autism and sometimes other mental illnesses. It’s not a term for neurotypicals to use when they’re just obsessed with something.

please, for that reason but also for whenever i hear people use the word hyperfixation i go “oh!! look another person who might have adhd and knows enough about it to understand the word hyperfixation!!” and then when i ask them about it they respond like “ugh no! that’s so rude i can’t believe you would think i have adhd!”

The same goes for “special interest.” (never mind that the “special interest” tag is clogged with spam related to the political use of the term…)

Yeah when people say “Don’t assume only autistic/Nd people have special interests” consider: that’s literally why we have these terms. So we can reccognize each other. Allistic people being really passionate about something isn’t the same don’t use our community specific terms and then get mad at us when we use them.

‪If the founding fathers were here today to see the state of our nation, they would probably just run their hands over the refrigerator repeating “a refrigerator huh” quietly to themselves while opening it and closing it to see if the light stays on.‬

Actually tbh if the founding fathers were here today to see the state of our nation they would probably say “Oh that’s interes-“ and then proceed to vomit blood and die from whatever modern day bacteria I just exposed them to.

What would George Washington say id he were alive today? Nothing. He would be screaming and clawing at the roof of his coffin

You run a tattoo parlor. Every couple of weeks, the same customer comes in, always requesting the same tattoo: an additional tally mark on an ever-growing cluster of tally marks.

“woke grinch advertising to appeal to millennials & gen z kids” is possibly the single dumbest and dystopian shit i’ve ever seen in my life

In case you haven’t been on Twitter lately the most recent discourse is that a vegan consoled a crying child and gave her money for ice cream, and another vegan made a callout because she didn’t tell the child to buy vegan ice cream.

it really is next to impossible to write realistic sibling dialogue, I just passed my brother on the stairs and instead of greeting each other like human beings I said ‘born survivor’ and he said ‘youtube rewind. let’s set it to rewind.’ like you ain’t gonna find that shit in a novel

exactly! I have three younger brothers and the original post was just about the oldest, the middle one and me usually do some kind of elaborate dab also, and a lot of the time when I see the youngest I just yell his name like a wrestling commentator…siblings have a different language

i’m not lying on the floor physically but i am lying on the floor spiritually

Whereas you push little dogs over and they’re all like “Vengeance! Death before dishonor!”

And then you push cats and it’s an absolute lottery, because some may just say “mrow” and start purring and some will rip your stupid face off.

2019 isn’t going to be any different unless you actually put effort in to change it
