Realizing I’m somewhere on the probably somewhere on the spectrum, and I can clearly see others in my life where not behaving in a typically autistic way near power, will attain a desired result. I know because I’ve tried in both ways, and “falling in line” works most of the time if you don’t touch any number of buzzwords.
It’s just I’m watching a video right now where someone is critiquing Corey in the house in some way to the sociopolitical underpinnings of the themes in the show
Thinking like in the context of how to read Donald Duck. And some things are just off limits
yep, i find it really really hard to find a job, not because i can't do things but because i don't know all the random social norms that go with job hunting
the world is very not-made for autistic people
For me, it’s realizing a social norm that needs to be promptly squashed, but such a norm is so conducive to abc corp’s vision of continued growth
Actual hell
Job interviews are like the final boss for autistic masking
i somehow managed to get through them a few times, but now it seems impossible. maybe just cos the job market is so shit right now or i just got worth at masking cos of burn out lmao
probably mostly that one tbh. one of my relatively neurotypical friends has been hunting for like 9 months at this point
ah okay, i did it for about two years and gave up lol
