    I struggle to get people to understand that I am constantly overwhelmed because I am taking in all the information all the time. I also struggle to get people to understand that I have extremely good social memory. I can’t remember a 3 digit number for more than 1.5 seconds but I can remember all these tiny details about what we did together many years ago.

    People assume my memory is as bad as theirs and get mad at me for refusing to accept that my memory isn’t as bad as theirs. It’s such a silly way to lose friends but I guess they were never listening to me in the first place.

    Yeah, I tend to notice everything, specially in social circumstances. But then I can get too relaxed and start dolphining in my mind, so I stop noticing anything at all until someone asks me something, I panic, and go back to noticing everything again. The observant daydreamer cycle I call it

      Thats just how the internet is?? Memes spread this way and its been that way for decades

    • This is bewildering to me. You’ve been on Lemmy for at least 9 months and I know Lemmy wasn’t your first exposure to social media, yet you’re acting like it’s your first day on the internet itself. How is this not a bad faith inquiry? What culture and cohort do you come from that this is a sincere question for you?

      For the engagement bait. You’ll notice OP always asks a question in the subject but just for the autism community. To me it feels kinda pandering.

      Edit: OPs fan base is disagreeing with me about how OP makes me feel. lol, lmao.

        Yeah, it’s a bit strange.

        Also, links have been a thing since at least the 90s, why not simply tell us where a post comes from?
