    I’m not entirely sure what this says about me, but this is exactly what I want out of life.

      If you meet a vaguely autistic hottie who is into you, under no circumstances fumble. I don’t usually feel qualified to take my unsolicited life advice that seriously, but I mean it this time.

          The thing is, if you’re autistic it’s super easy to find out who’s neurodivergent - it’s everyone you’ve ever vibed with.

          If you’re not, you probably already wanted to stop talking to me.

            Kinda weird that 3 people that I vibed the most in the past either are not in the spectrum, or are on a wholly different level of masking it, because they’re super charismatic

              I harbour a conviction that charisma is largely a skill, but being extroverted makes it easier to acquire. One of my best friends is a prom king daredevil life of the party type, but I know him pretty well after 3 decades. He’s bipolar, extroverted, and knows exactly the way to put up a front that will get people in a party mood - which is something he only does during a manic phase. When the high gives way to the low, he turns into more of the spooky enigmatic recluse type. The trick is to befriend both.

            Eh, valid, but the implication is that she needs the stimulant (perhaps due to AD(H)D) or the MAOI in tobacco and OP can substitute a less harmful form that is also less unpleasant. Supplying options is not (necessarily) control and it’s likely less trouble than the shit show that getting ADD drugs is in many places… This can (and should) be done with their consent you know.
