Where do people go and believe that the more dickish they are, the better the service they receive? 🤷🏻♂️ npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…ccf4 He’s screaming because he’s having to listen to your whiney, entitled ass and no-one has given him some cutlery. 🤨 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…lpt0 @nprofile…056a Nope, full bricks. £50 bonus if you hit them in the head. 🫤 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…4j24 @nprofile…yxyg Taskmaster. 👍 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…e9mx Understood.

I’d rather help in any way I can if possible. I’ve been there, too many times. I wish I could be the sort of person I needed in my life but didn’t have at that time. Pretending everything is fine doesn’t sit well with me. 🫤 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…3e6m Saying “I love you” is bad energy? 🤨 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…wvul I would absolutely watch the shit of this! 😁👍 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic Pimp My Mobility Scooter #AltRealityShows #HashtagGames npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic 😆 @nprofile…gj0l https://tech.lgbt/@Natasha_Jay/116953277917390477 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic So, I made it through my scan which wasn’t as bad as I feared and informed my parents of my new-found health condition - which wasn’t as bad as I feared. npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…nc5d Amazing when a film (or two) has that effect on your life, especially at such a young age. For me, it was Who Framed Roger Rabbit that seemed like pure magic to my eyes when I first saw it at that age. npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…ut9d 😢 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…h7xz How many movies in the franchise are ACTUALLY worth watching? I reckon only a handful of them are any good (don’t hate me!). 😬 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic Question for all ND citizens of the Fediverse: part of my post ASD diagnosis therapy involves examining my autistic strengths compared to NT people. However, thanks to chronic negative self esteem, these supposed strengths feel to me either null and void (isn’t everyone motivated by justice?) or they feel to me like a weakness to be exploited like attention to detail or my sense of honesty and loyalty. (1/2) npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic How do you identify what strengths you have when you have always thought of yourself as subhuman thanks to decades of feeling inadequate, bullying and a terminal failure to adult like other people? I sensed that my therapist was getting frustrated at me today because I kept saying “Yeah but…” ☹️ How did you overcome these issues or what advice do you have for others struggling with this? Or is it just me? 😔 (2/2) npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…fsru Remember when people saw the funny side of things and didn’t sue each other over every single fucking thing? You know, common sense? Why can’t we go back to this kind of thinking and let the lawyers eat themselves alone in court? ☹️ npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…xfhq Almost as many people there as there was for his inauguration. Both of them. npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…4zs6 I see nothing wrong with this whatsoever. However, I’m happy to tell Nazis to punch themselves in the balls because I’m confident that most of them wouldn’t do it and the ones who do would only suffer temporary, non-fatal consequences. npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…4zs6 Is that a pint of coffee? npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic There is - I’m having a second one. 😱 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…rly9 Maybe. If I’m one less thing for them to worry about then they won’t see it as a problem, regardless of how much it impacts me. I’m inclined to put it down to them still getting used to accommodating me rather than genuine malice but it kinda hurts all the same. It’s not like I would have ruined things either. 🤷🏻♂️ npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic Social battery is completely drained after a surprise party for my Dad’s 70th birthday yesterday - which everyone but me knew about! I feel they should understand how much the unexpected throws me (especially when staying away somewhere) and trust me enough to know I won’t spoil the surprise. I’m also pissed off that all I got him was a card and one present, which was overshadowed by everything else going on. npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…qhj6 @nprofile…2la8 That scene where she’s imagining mazes on the ceiling hit VERY close to home for me. I often see points moving around like snooker balls bouncing around a table or that screensaver you used to see. npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…056a Yeah, some issue with the engine management system. 🤷🏻♂️ I’d like the thing to pass just once npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…2la8 I actually prefer Astrid to Patience because I find the actress in Astrid is more recognisably autistic to me, ironically. I feel the UK version should tell its own story instead of remaking the French episodes. 🤔 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic Well, it failed. Best of all, they don’t know what the problem is and can’t even look at it until Friday. npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…z4eq I shall be celebrating by not watching any of it and probably playing Marvel Strike Force on my phone. 🫤 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…2acj Thank you. I fear that UBI is the sort of policy that only the Greens would implement, given how radically it would shake the system. Doesn’t mean that such measures aren’t needed - they are and the sooner, the better. Politics should be less petty and more constructive, looking forward instead of back. npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic Got my MOT this morning, one of the hardest days of the year for me. There’s so much pressure on the car to pass as my limited finances are usually sorely tested by having to get repairs. I hate this! Why does mental health and financial stability have this correlation and why does nobody talk about it? 😢 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…mfaa Oh, I never said I was any good at gaming! 😆 There is a definite limit to my talents! npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…mfaa I have no idea how to do nothing! I’m constantly doing something, even if it’s not constructive like video games. The concept of “clearing your mind” is utterly foreign to me. 🤷🏻♂️ npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…jzru It’s when they change the lyrics to suit the product but keep the same melody or tune, like the ones for any Flash product. When I come to power, that shit will be illegal. 🤨 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…tz00 @nprofile…h65c To be fair, his likeness is used by Michael Myers in Halloween so there’s a good reason to be creeped out by Kirk himself. npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic I know this isn’t very logical of me but I have an irrational hatred of Shaun Murphy! He looks and behaves like a self-centred, smug prick. #Snooker npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…fq46 I’ve been doing less than nothing and feeling crappy because of it so at least you have a plan. npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic I have eaten crap, frozen meals and takeaways every day and feel awful for it, especially as I find it impossible to tell if I’m actually hungry or not. The place is untidy and that’s also getting me down. I’ve done next to no writing or even watched anything other than snooker (which I love, so it’s not all bad) and podcasts. (2/5) npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic Now I know there’s something “wrong” with me - I know autism is a difference and not necessarily a flaw, please don’t @ me - it reinforces the negative self esteem I’ve had since I was a child. Is this a problem for all late-DX autistics, that sudden realisation that you were never going to live the sort of life that others around were? And when do you feel the positive side of autism, which I keep hearing about? (4/5) npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic My parents have been away since last Thursday so I have had the place to myself. And what has quickly become apparent is that I am incapable of living on my own without serious help. (1/5) npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic I know this is my ableism kicking my arse but I just want to be capable, you know? Since my autism diagnosis, I’m coming to realise that my worst fears are coming true - that I am not like everyone else, that I’m not able to “adult” and I will seemingly never have my shit together. I’ve always been envious of people who seem to go through life, coping with its trial and curveballs with relative ease and wonder why can’t I do that? (3/5) npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic Because other than being helpful in a pub quiz on film, music and American Football questions, I’m struggling to see it? npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…3e6m What you wanted to be was, in fact, a necrophiliac. 🤔 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic https://autisticritic.pika.page/posts/the-thursday-murder-club-2025-an-autisticritic-review npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…3e6m I used to tell them I appeared as an extra at Hogwarts in the first Harry Potter film. Nobody ever questioned it. 🤷🏻♂️ npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…5jlc Is this an app?

Unfortunately, the only person who made me believe this is no longer around to remind me. But at least I know that I’m at the start of this journey (🤮) and I have no idea where I’m going to end up. npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic I tend not to recommend self help books because most of them are useless. But I’ve just started reading The Cherry Tree Theory by Rich & Rox Pink (the hosts of ADHD_Love’s Late Bloomers podcast) which is already hitting several painful points for me. Having a quiet day today and realising just how fucked up I am. npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic Currently taking a quiet moment in the loo at work.

It’s possibly sellable as it is but I have no idea how to do that. 🤷🏻♂️ npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…ut9d Without sounding like I’m blowing smoke up your ass, I wish I had someone like you in my life. My heart has been broken since 2018 and I still don’t know if I’m ready to move on. Just be there for your friend and they will always thank you for your support. npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…ut9d At least you have your eye on someone! 😁 Good luck and go for it - what’s the worst that can happen? npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…ut9d It strikes me that ADHD is less of a barrier to meeting people than ASD seems to be, at least in my experience. 🤔 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…la7y Stay safe. 🤞😷 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…ut9d This is something that I’m starting to wonder as well. 🤔 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…m5a6 There’s a witch involved? 🤨 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic #WritersCoffeeClub 3/23. What's the most you've worked on a WIP before deciding to scrap it? What happened? npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic Nobody here knows Emily who runs my autistic support group but I’d happily pass on your good wishes when she goes for her own autism assessment later today. It’s remarkable how close our journeys have been in terms of time and having received my diagnosis last week, I know what lies ahead for her today. #ActuallyAutistic npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…sz4f 🍕 npub10lwkeu0962mer22seuqzt2erwyttu8f2rr22yl2l7xwxvzmxxgcqvre0q8 AutistiCritic @nprofile…eeh7 @nprofile…94ng @nprofile…2x84 @nprofile…zvpa It’s only happened a few times to me but it genuinely made my day!
