It's all part of his cleverly crafted persona. Just like him using his middle name. The average Brit doesn't know that the real man is Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, who used to burn £50 notes in front of homeless people for fun.
Remember this guy wanted to invade the Netherlands.
This time it's the US that's 4 years behind. You have your own Dominic Cummings and everything.
I'm the same. I need time to process and phone calls with customers stress me.
But I also have this weird thing where I'll suddenly become very scared to check my email for weeks or even months.
I saw this anxiety simulator recommended by people with anxiety and I can't relate to it at all. This is not what I'm thinking at all. And now it makes sense why the therapist was struggling. She needed to fit me into one of those boxes, except I didn't fit. So she tried her best to shove me into the low self esteem box.
Edit: this one too
I think the point of it is more to explain to people who think the spectrum means this side is NT and this side is "severe" autism, and the spectrum is anything in between. For a while I thought this was what it meant too.
So I like that this explains to people who think that, that the spectrum doesn't work that way.
I think of the spectrum more as a circular rainbow, and you can occupy a bit from this side, maybe a larger segment from that part, maybe a bit more over there.
Maybe defining the autism spectrum is as complex as defining a neurotypical spectrum 🤷🏽♀️
I've never liked living in London. I'd like it as a place to visit, because of all the museums and so many free things to do, but I don't like living here. It's too busy and impersonal. I love that we have good public transport so you can live your whole life without ever needing a car. But I'd rather live in a smaller place where there's more of a sense of community.
Or even something like this works.
She said she got tested and she wasn't (she said she has an ADHD diagnosis).
It's not so much whether she's ND, it was the way she invalidated the autistic community's struggles with that dumb take. You can't bully people and then try to excuse it by saying, we're all on the spectrum, I was just playing.

B**** literally traumatises people by forcing their phobia on them, humiliates people on air, forces people to disclose pregnancies, and that's just the stuff we've seen in public. That's not autism, that's sadism. No contrition, no admission that she was in the wrong. And her trying to get an autism diagnosis to excuse that really ticks me off.
I still have the html files for my first geocities site. It was a Commander Keen fansite with info that was already on every other fansite. But it was mine! And I used marquee tags and background midi files and gifs whenever I wanted to, and WordArt for the page headings.
Even then I was late to the party. My the time I joined, geocities was part of Yahoo. I remember when the URLs used to be cities and neighbourhoods.
Also, Onchat.com.
Only the Jubilee line has them here in London. They're a good feature. There was talk of bringing them to other lines, but I've not heard any update on that in years.
