I notice this with a lot of autistic people, including myself.

There’s two “accents,” actually.

One of them is kind of growly, for lack of a better term; like how it sounds when you tense up your lips/when you talk while trying not to move them, if that makes any sense. This could just be sampling error, but this seems to be more of a thing with people who are AFAB.

The other (which, funny enough, seems to skew more towards AMAB people, myself among them, though notice I said seems to skew more towards, so it’s not a 1:1 thing) is almost like a faint British accent. Like you’re a fancy English barrister who lectures at Oxford and you’re learning to talk like a normal person.

Does this make any fucking sense?

Could it have to do with how “well-adjusted” someone is? Like as you’re forced to mask/learn how to pretend to be normal, the awkward British professor thing fades; the growl (which I think I sorta have too, maybe) is a substrate that’s left behind.

Let me know right away if this is complete nonsense so I can be embarrassed and delete it as soon as possible.

    Yeah, I don't want to read your messages, I have to point out stupid shit like how London bouying up the average across the country doesn't actually improve the lives of the people in the rest of the country. Do you think that the existence of Paris makes people in the Calais Jungle rich? Do you think there's no poverty in Saudi Arabia? Oh course not, that would be fucking stupid, but it's what you jumped on in regards to east and weest europe.

    Anyway, I actually kind of want to point out how unthinkingly bigoted you've been through this conversation - Earlier you used adults with learning disabilities to call me stupid, you've had a bunch of comments removed for using racist or ableist terminology and ideas, and apparently you think people's self worth is measured by having a partner. Sure, you like the aesthetics of leftism, being able to say you tweeted an org and that makes you a good leftist, yelling at people for not being devout enough (posting on a website with all of 2000 semiregular users) but you're not willing to put any effort in to think about what you say. Like you said, you are autistic and were taken out of regular classes to put into special education despite being capable of honours - that would qualify you to come to the monday morning art sessions put on by one of our groups. Adults with learning disabilities aren't automatically stupid. Eastern Eurpoeans aren't automatically poor. Aro/Ace comrades aren't less worthy in some way because they don't have a partner.

    You're determined to prove you're the best leftist, better than the rest of here, but what do you really have? Sure, you tweet organisations, but we just have assurances that you definitely volunteer in some way. You berate me for being rude to someone who wants burning religious symbol emojis, but you can't even insult me without being bigoted. You've tried a range a ways to prove that you're smarter than us, but you've only misused vocabulary, made hugely mistaken assumptions, and mistaken a social enterprise for a social worker.

    You've called me attention seeking, self important, stupid, too online, accused me of harrassing you, even called me an abuser, but your posts make it pretty clear that they're just confessions of your own wrongdoings. Like really, every social worker is evil and hates you because you're too smart? How much self reflection does it really take to reach the conclusion that you might just be the same asshole in real life that you are online?
