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

    "Meritocracy" and/or "equality of opportunity" are just politically correct ways of saying "market enforced eugenics"
