    Do you think in pictures?

    Yup, wish I had the chance to become a teacher. There'd be no more fitting a career.

    Do you think in pictures?

    Interestingly enough, I recently found out that I have hyperphantasia. Until recently, I thought everybody thought in crystal clear photo realism. I can conceptualize words and numbers as a visual concept, or assign meaning to them, but most of my thoughts either come in photorealistic...

    What do you wish your parents had done differently?

    I wish my father could've understood me better as a child, the way he's starting to now as an adult. I wish my mother, the only aspie adult in my life that could've led me by example, didn't decide to up and abandon her children. I wish both my parents realized just how badly their words and...

    Autistic “bluntness”

    I have two modes, and I switch between them depending on whether or not I am locked in a perpetual loop of social anxiety. Either I'm exceedingly erudite, blunt, and pragmatic to a fault, or I'm relentlessly dancing around the point without ever getting to it, often repeating myself in circles...

    If you could describe your life in your own album

    Love those choices. Petty was always one of my favorites. Hard to believe he's gone.

    Spooky True Story Time!

    STORY TIME EVERYBODY! Gather round the Mr. Rogers recliner, you may feel a slight lurch. Now then, several years back when I was only slightly younger and slightly dumber, I used to run with a bunch of friends that (mostly) came from spec ed wing of my high school after we graduated. On the...

    Do you like or dislike horror movies?

    I love horror, but a lot of movies bore me. It's hard to scare me anymore and it sucks. I hate being so desensitized, I wish someone would make something that ACTUALLY scares me again. Never liked the slasher stuff, except for the classics cause you kind of have to appreciate those. Really been...

    Anyone else into tabletop rpgs?

    Yes and no. I haven't played really but I desperately want to. I just don't have any friends that would be even remotely interested in playing.

    SPACE IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have this crazy dream that'll probably never come true, but I never stop believing it's possible. I want to see humans either invent or reverse engineer FTL technology so I can retire in my golden years and spend that time traveling the galaxy with my future wife. Then, we can go on a galactic...

    If you should just happen to reincarnate as the member of another species

    Reincarnate me back in time and make me a dinosaur. Idc about the logistics, if I have to be reincarnated as an animal, I want to be one of the most fantastical animals I can imagine. Make me a mapusaurus, the idea of pack hunting theropods is incredibly fascinating. Maybe a diplodocus or a...

    What is Your Pet Doing Right Now?

    This is Oakley, my half-Siamese half-tabby. He's busy not sitting still for a picture cause he has an absolute NEED to rub his scent everywhere and pretending he hates belly rubs whilst he begs for them. Last picture is just a recent pic of him and his lazy troublemaker of a brother Nigel...

    Do your cats hunt?

    My boys are indoor cats, oftentimes I wish they had more room to run. But this cramped and cruddy apartment isn't exactly a jungle gym. Secretly, I kind of enjoy the occasional mouse or roach sneaking in here, cause it gives them more of a chance to be active. And they ALWAYS know before any of...

    The last thing you bought?

    Technically speaking, the last thing I brought was an 8th of an ounce of Runtz. Don't do drugs kids.

    I Want To Hope Again

    Hi, my name is Michael. I'm a 26-year-old aspie adult (diagnosed at 5) living in Westchester NY. I live with my father and younger brother (also aspie) in an apartment not far from NYC. Found this website whilst searching for the link between cynicism and autism, because honestly, that's been my...
