Screenshot of microblog post. The OP states, "This is not an email I ever expected to receive or send." The emails read as follows: 1st email > The AI design of your email is clever, but significantly lacks warmth. > > Would it be possible to be contacted by a human being moving forward instead of AI? > > Many thanks, Response email > It's not an AI. I'm just Autistic. > > See you next Friday. > > > Sent from Proton Mail mobile

Meme: Two panels. Left panel is an Uno card that reads, "Understand situational context or draw 25." The right panel is labelled *Me* and has a drawing of the number 25 with the pencil placed underneath.
caption: I don’t struggle with autism. I’m actually very good at it.
Image: Lisa Simpson giving a presentation with a determined disposition. Caption on the screen: The "double-empathy problem" is misnamed because it is not a problem. It is a theory that explains why we observe limited empathy between autistic and non-autistic individuals. Not only is it not a problem, it is a solution because it helps us understand why things are the way they are. Stop calling it a problem. It is now the "interneurotype empathy divide"...or something. Idk, but it is not a problem.
Probably why sometimes it takes me a while to recognize people. Image: 2 panels. * 1st: Someone holding up two cards, one is a picture of Michael Keaton and the other of Bruce Willis. The caption reads, "Corporate needs to you find the differences between this person and this person." * 2nd: Pam from the office labelled as *Me* saying, "They're the same person." Edit: Gemini believes that they're 2 different people.

Image: A skeleton with its mouth open squatting with a barbell carrying 4 plates on its back. Caption: My body is a machine that turns complex social situations into flashbacks.
I don’t know why, but somehow these two words summed up 50% of my life

We wont take it personal. Our eyes will be here while you take your time. 3rd panel of adult hugging child: People and places like this really exist? # Eye contact is intimate! lol 🫣

Meme: Cartoon man labeled as "Me having a conversation with normies" visibly having difficulty deciding which one of two buttons he should press. Button 1: Over explain everything to not be misunderstood. Button 2: Stay quiet to avoid upsetting them or seeming suspicious.
Alt text: Anyone: "You look nice today" My anxiety: "They are making fun of you"
Meme: 4 panels of a man progressively putting on clown make up and wig. > 1st panel: memorize a few scripts and jokes > > 2nd: remember to ask people questions about themselves and give them compliments > > 3rd: have a few practice conversations with myself before attending > > 4th: I'm going to fit in so well at the party. Edit: Woo! I did it. I didn't really need to prep since I wasn't expected to socialize, just ask random women to dance. I asked a few ladies I had never seen to dance. They were pretty new and nervous, so I made sure to authentically compliment them and build their confidence. Afterward, I found a few ladies I had known for a while, and danced with them. One was fantastic! She had legit natural rhythm and was fun. I haven't had a dance partner like that in while, so I hope I get to see her more often. There was one new lady that was obviously a professional dancer, and I wanted to see what I could pull off with her, but ofc she was taken every time I went looking for her. The shitty part was that it was wayyy too crowded, there were no quiet places, and drunk people were unintentionally rude with their lack of spatial awareness, so I would leave and go next door to take a sound break. My head is still ringing. Maybe I'll take sound dampening ear plugs next time. But in summary, it was nice. I plan on going more often, even if beforehand I think I am going to look like a clown 🤡
