-When you try to order food from a fast food location or restaurant.
In head: Okay *insert name here, you got this. Just tell the nice lady that you want a cheese quesadilla and regular baja blast. Just tell her-
Lady: Can I help you?
In reality: Uh....um...uh...*stuttering* I'll have t-the uh...
Brain: MAYDAY. ABANDON SHIP. ALERT. ALERT. - Let's discuss those moments we can all relate to, being on the autistic spectrum. Why? I am bored.

I am personally not autistic, but I really hate people who use the word autistic as a substitute for the R word.

being thought of as pathetic b/c of not understanding something as a joke (so first of all i want to say if it's not my place to post here bc im not autistic i'll delete my thread and leave, i don't want to be intrusive but also i want to say this) i genuinely think ive made you feel this way in the past and im really sorry. a lot of my group's humor is like sarcasm layered on sarcasm which can be funny but i don't want to make anyone feel bad especially because of something like that. so if you ever want to pm me just to check to see if something i say is serious or not, definitely feel free to. you are definitely not pathetic though and i know that at least no one i talk to directly thinks of you like that :<

Tbh this happens to me and I'm not autistic I'm not going to lie. I wish you would not respond to my threads. Your idea that autism needs to be cured is not right as a person without it. You do not get to decide for us. To be blunt, it is uncomfortable. I state this as nicely and as...not discourse...ly (just go with it) as possible.

being thought of as pathetic b/c of not understanding something as a joke I have the opposite issue. -being thought of as an unfeeling typical 'internet autistic jerk' because you do not see things as a joke.

That feel when they say:
"What are you doing with your hands?"
Also, that feel when you don't even know if you are stimming or not.

I also have trouble with voice message. I hang up immediately when a call goes to voice message, write down exactly what I want to say, call again so it goes to voice, and then read what I've written. I forget what I want to say if I don't. It's a very different type of communicating because your not talking to anyone directly.

To be completely honest I don't really want that part to happen, I was just in a bad mood at the time of posting that and wanted to offend some people that were angering me. I have a tendency to not think before I post.

If I could cure my autism I would, but that's a very personal decision I believe.

I am personally not autistic, but I really hate people who use the word autistic as a substitute for the R word. Right? And the "R-word" used to be a perfectly acceptable and non-offensive way to refer to people with mental disabilities. I really don't want "autistic" to go down that same route.

Although if the person does pick up second call, it can really catch you off guard. >.>

If I could cure my autism I would, but that's a very personal decision I believe. That isn't my issue. My issue is that I do not need someone who is not autistic to decide for me what to do with my symptoms. It is insulting and degrading to me as a person. I should have that choice, not have allistic people decide it for me.
