I’ve been working at a state run liquor store for about 9 months and it’s made me realize how many high functioning alcoholics, at least from my experience, seem to have many autistic traits. On top of that, it’s made me more observant of my own patterns with alcohol and how my relationship has been with it over the years as an autistic and ADHD person. I’m not assuming anybody is autistic but a lot of the people I see there daily display notable traits of autism.

When I would hear “held at gunpoint” I thought it was a location and would always wonder where gunpoint was…

I’ve always struggled with social cues but I just realized how often I fail to display them as well. I’ve become an expert at hiding how I feel after years of masking and alexithymia makes it difficult to even know what I’m feeling at any given moment… 😖

It caught me by surprise hearing Home Computer start playing as soon as the episode started, but it’s the perfect song for the scene!

What I scored on 15 word recall test:
First round - 4/15
Second round - 4/15
Third round - 6/15
Fourth round - 7/15
Fifth round - 11/15

I’m 23M and I feel like I did extremely poorly on this test…
