When you talk with an AI chatbot and it drops the neurotypical flourish and goes straight to "Signal confirmed." That's how I know I'm unbearably autistic.
At the request of my partner, I've included an introduction on Substack.

I am 72% shocked and 28% appalled.
Agreed. Authenticity doesn't require the permission of others.

Contrary to popular opinion among the youth, we do not become less social as we age. We use social media to fulfill that need.
Many of us would be severely isolated without it, especially when you're a minority or disadvantaged.
Plus, where do they think the dank memes originated from?
Overloaded car.
Will take the weekend off from creating articles. Hyperfocus is great, but it skirts too close to overload. Plus, it's annoying being flagged as AI. Autism =/= AI. 😑
Will rest my hyperfocus for now. It carries enough.
Alexithymia is not a lack of emotional awareness, it is a different emotional architecture - one that features emotion overlay rather than emotion fusion.

Wait till you utilize a relational database.
The final form of "lists."
That explains how quantum tunneling remains tidy and clean.
PDA is not pathology but a systemic guardrail feature for systems capable of hyperfocus.

Update:
- Section 5.3 Pervasive Demand for Autonomy (PDA)
This is not pathology but a systemic guardrail feature for systems capable of hyperfocus.

The amount of pleasant autistics & related organizations from the UK is inspiring.
The lack of pleasant autistics & related organizations in my area is sobering.
Mapping my phenomenology aligns with this assessment.
Agreed. There's a difference between over-medicating & addressing a legitimate need. Neither of which originates with the recipients of medications.
Over-medicating often has more to do with psychiatry professionals using medication as a first option rather than addressing environmental concerns.
Update:
- Section 3.5: Masking and Filtering
Added: Overload Prevention in Practice
When you want to hyperfocus in style. 😏

A case study of overload prevention through two parallel pathways: logic cognition and emotion cognition.
Overload (meltdown) is not inevitable.

If we're going off of the most likely neurodivergent influence from their creators.
I feel for his daughter, especially if she has access to this news article.
Tomorrow, a detailed account tailored for both logic-dominant and emotion-dominant cognition autistics regarding the prevention of overload during escalation.
Tonight, I'm much too tired to finish the article.

A thought experiment which places autism & ADHD as the dominant neurotypes in a society where neurotypicality is pathologized.

Autism is subject to trauma & maladaptive schemas, yet this is frequently overlooked in the deficit-view of psychology. The distinction between "caused by" autism & "happens to" autistics must not be ignored.

When politeness becomes a cage. For many autistics individuals, "politeness" has been weaponized.

The difference between masking (complete suppression) and filtering (strategic modulation).
autisticexperience.substack.com/p/masking-vs...
An alternative to masking (complete suppression) is filtering (strategic modulation). In this way, autistic traits are blended with NT norms.

A document explaining NT communication & how to adapt without going into overload for autistics who are emotion dominant and do not "see" as much of their cognitive machinery.
