Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/[email protected] - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts
-
/c/[email protected] - General memes

Are we siblings? My parents were the same way (they might still be, but for the sake of my mental health I don't discuss autism with them.) Add in that when a kid shows intelligence in other areas, a lot of people are quick to dismiss the idea that they may struggle with anything. Sure makes it fun when you can't recognize your own speech's tone or volume, and now you're in trouble yet again because obviously you're intentionally being rude.
Sorry, I had to rant for a moment there. My tone still causes me issues (as recently as this week!) despite me putting on the cheeriest mask I can muster. Not sure what else I can do, but after 36 years of trying, it sure would be nice to receive some understanding.
