Aspie Things - Tumblr Posts

After seeing a post talking about how I shouldn't use the term "Asperger" neither "Aspie" due to the past of these words and althought I see the point, I honestly just don't care 'cause I also feel comfortable with these names so yeah, I thought about doing... something just for fun and it actually ended waaaaay better than I expected at first

"Is it a poor representation about autistic people being seen as dumb or non-rational people?"

also

"Is it a assumption about Taz being autistic?"

also also

or even "is it a way OP found to show how he just doesn't care about what people say he's supposed to be/relate/bother with?"

anyway, just some questions that could possibly be made and Imma just answer with "feel free to think whatever you wanna"

I never had any issues about knowing myself 'cause my whole family and every kind of environment crushed me by being myself, which means I was forced into knowing every inch of myself to recognize what exactly about me was seen as "wrong" by them

...I  mean. Conceptually, I can see that making sense (especially as rejection sensitive as I am), but-

Really???

To my friends on the spectrum, let me explain to you an unspoken social rule that possibly nobody has ever explained to you before

If a neurotypical asks you, “What game are you playing?” they’re not asking you to describe the game.

They’re asking you if they can play too.

If a neurotypical asks you, “What are you watching?” they’re not asking you to explain the plot of the movie/tv show to them.

They’re asking if they can watch it with you.

.

When neurotypicals ask you “What are you doing?” 

What you think they’re asking: “Please explain to me what you are doing.” 

What they’re actually asking:  “Can I join you?”

Now here’s the really fucked up part. If you start explaining to them what you’re doing? They will interpret that as a rejection. 

What you think you’re saying: [the answer to their question]

What they think you’re saying: This is an elite and exclusive activity for a level 5 friend and you are a level 1 acquaintance. You are not qualified to join me because you don’t know all this stuff. Go away.

.

This is why neurotypicals think you’re being cold and antisocial.

IT’S ALL A HORRIBLE MISCOMMUNICATION.
