Some girl randomly messaged me today on my number. It was a new number so I had no idea who it was and almost thought it was a scam. Turns out it was some girl I hadn't seen in years saying that she had moved back to my city and wanted to hang out. I could barely even remember who it was. I feel like it reeks of desperation and just seems sad.
A trans person's gender identity, medical history, and personal background are their own private information.
They are under no obligation or requirement to "disclose" their trans status to anyone.
If you are upset about finding out someone is trans, you are part of the problem.
Asking if someone trans puts people in a position of danger.
I feel like neurotypical people are incredibly competitive with each other as a way to establish a hierarchy. I don't really care for that and don't understand why they want to add so much stress in life. Life would be so much better if we worked on cooperation instead of competition.
Neurotypical people judge people based on instinct and vibes. They lack pattern recognition, so they fail to notice when people are acting subtly awful over an extended period of time. They use shortcuts like evaluating people's wealth and job.
We don't care about a person's fake societal role, we care about their behavior and their intellect. We notice when people's actions don't match up with their words. We also tend to have a sixth sense for knowing whether people are actually kind or not. That's why autistic people are better judges of characters than neurotypical people.
I've always been able to evaluated someone within the first three times of meeting them, and I have literally never been wrong. Same with celebrities - if my gut instinct says they're a bad person, I'm almost always validated.
I feel like we're way more likely to be independent thinkers and want to form our own ideas than do what a malicious actor tells us to do.
We have deeper emotions, stronger senses, and also a greater sense of introspection. We just feel life more.
It's like they run on autopilot all of the time and have no inner monologue. They just go with the flow and do what society tells them to do. I find it really strange. Maybe they seem happy but they're really living an empty life with no meaning.
Neurotypical friendships are based in establishing hierarchies, chasing meaningless trends, and drama. If you really get to see how NT people interact up close, you can see a lot of them feel very unhappy in their friendships but feel powerless to leave.
Autistic friendships are based in shared interests and collaboration. We're friends with people because we actually like them.
While it's harder to find friendships are harder to find, they are 100% worth it.

They like to mindlessly follow trends.
Not all neurotypical people anti-intellectual, but almost all anti-intellectual people are neurotypical. These kinds of people hate it when you want to talk about anything deep like politics, philosophy, linguistics, and metaphysics. I have a deep need for intellectual stimulation and these people annoy me so much. On the other hand, I find that autistic people are down for talking about deep things and have so much more appreciation for the deeper parts of life.
Right now so many neurotypicals are dropping like flies because they can't stand being lonely. However, autistic people are more adapted to the modern environment. That's something that definitely makes me proud to be autistic.
One thing about meeting autistic people is that we largely want the world to be a better place. I think even though some autistic people have different values, we generally have good intentions. We don't care about fame or fortune and would rather help people instead. I love how we tend to be idealistic and feel happy about helping others even when most of the world would rather reject us. Does anyone else feel the same way?

I love my autistic/ND female friends. We're loyal, smart, incredibly witty. We're also very patient, kind, and tolerant. Best of all, we don't care about social status or superficial things, and ZERO drama. If you have ND female friends, tell them that you love them today.
