shame is for other people

….you know what just occurred to me

it is entirely possible the way minesweeper seems to get more impossible and frustrating as it gets later and later is because my goddamn meds are wearing off

i mean like i know i shouldn’t blame everything on my brain chemistry

but it is so fantastically easy to win most of them in the morning and by evening it’s like lol no you fucked up oh look your hand slipped not the tile you wanted to click TOO BAD oh damn did you miscount did you leave that flag out of your logic-ing lol

and i feel like that is sort of suspicious.

my comforter fell apart in the wash.

it’d been coming for a while so it’s not really all that surprising; it’s a cheap-ass bed-in-a-bag comforter I got eight years ago heading off to university. the surprising part is really that it’s made it this far.

and yet

I do still have my second comforter, which is usable! it’s not unbearable or anything, it just doesn’t feel as nice as THIS comforter and also it has itchy and childish ruffles because we had to go to the baby section of the store to find anything tolerable back when I originally bought it.

and I had already been looking at new comforters because this one was starting to fall apart, so I at least have a potential candidate for a new one, if I can get over the OH GOD COMMITMENT bit I keep balking at.

the texture isn’t perfect, but it’s 100% cotton so it should only get softer and hopefully more like the one it’s meant to replace.

it’s pretty loud, which worries me - what if I get sick of it? how will I decorate with it? clearly I won’t be able to have a bright blue bedroom again if I get it.

it’s really damn cheerful tho —

—and god knows I can always use a little cheer.

jfc, tho. three separate stores and I only found three bearable sets of bedding. Out of the hundreds and hundreds of sets they had.

neurotypicals, man.

what the fuck.

One of the quick tests: How do you make eye contact?

If you have any idea how to answer this question, that’s not a bad indicator for possibly-autistic, because non-autistics virtually never have any idea, because it’s not a thing they are aware of doing, it’s a thing that happens automatically for them.

the best part about being okay with identifying as neuroatypical is that I don’t feel so stupid and childish all the time.

into-the-weeds:

Daily Show just did a great bit mocking overly literal judges—applauding them for showing up to work even though, by rights, at the first stop sign they encountered their day should have literally stopped. Where are the go signs???

And I just, what a perfect description of being DD!

Stop sign says stop! You can’t fool me, you cannot eat box! That is a closet, not clothes! There are no fans in this room AND THERE NEVER WILL BE! 

We keep muddling through our lives even without any go signs, and people say we are miracles, but they don’t understand the real reasons.

I literally only realized a few months ago that you can take advil for muscle aches. And by ‘realized’ I mean had it pointed out to me by a long-suffering mother who was again absolutely dumbfounded I have lived to twenty five years of age.

do you ever go through those phases where you just don’t feel like talking to anyone for a few days and it’s not because you’re mad or anything you just don’t feel like talking???

shamelesslymkp:

you know what one of my biggest problems with accepting persephonesidekick's proposition of me being on the spectrum is?

that if that’s true then I’ve been writing Blaine as on the spectrum too without ever knowing it.

like.

no.

Yeah, I had acccidentally autistic characters too, post diagnosis but pre-understanding/identifying with it. I don’t know Blaine or why this would be particularly ridiculous. Why would it be so weird if your Blaine is accidentally autistic?

Because I didn’t know it! Are all of my characters neuroatypical??? It’s just . what have I been saying without realizing I’ve been saying it?
