Posted in I'm probably not a psychopath after all Posted 6 years ago
And yes, I did genuinely think I was a psychopath of some level because of the way I think and my lack of emotion/interest in things. But autism is a more accurate diagnosis.

Yeah I know ppl in the diagnosis field so I’m going to talk to them about a diagnosis. If I ever have energy again.

To clear things up, I don’t consider autism a bad thing. It’s how “normal” society reacts to it that is unfortunate, just as being trans isn’t bad but makes life more difficult because social norms are shit. I do have many symptoms and people I know with autism or who know an autistic person think I have it as well. I’m not so much considering it a shitty diagnosis as I am glad and relieved to have a label for my weird shit. I’m not a “little weird” or “a bit odd” — it’s more like “near debilitatingly strange to the point where most people can’t interact with me.”

I’m very different offline. I have trouble verbalizing and don’t talk nearly as much as I write in forums. Speech is a chore. A sometimes painful one.

Idk what else was said bc the first page is a mess, but yeah. Whatever.

Man my work schedule has gotten so irregular and whack, I never know what day it is anymore.

I think I'm just autistic. This has been a revelation. Between learning I'm transgender and recently researching autism and applying it to myself, it just explains every single weird thing about me and my past. It's a lot to take in, and thinking about how it will affect my future is daunting, but it's good to know. I guess. At least when I get discriminated against now I'll know why exactly lel. Idk if this is tmi; I just needed somewhere casual to post about it.

Lmaooooooooooooooooooo at the guy shouting at the end. That's great. I haven't seen it yet but I really want to. My gf and I keep trying to go but our work schedules make seeing a movie hard.

Hey, very cool! I miss having shelves! When I finally get moved into my own space again, I want a shelf for all my Pokemon crap including the old games that don't really work anymore. They could still work as decoration.

What a fascinating situation to find yourself in.
I don't know enough about slow cookers to be any help. The only times I used them was following instructions made by my gf; I don't know how they work tbh.

Damn that sucks. Yeah, offering some kind of reward for it might help, especially if it's kids since $10 is still a decent chunk of money when you're a youth lol.
