Sarah Brown High, yes, sorry, as an Autism- and non-ADHD haver with a partner, I, uh, need to ask about the candles thing. For raisins.

ASRS is a screening test for adults to see if it's worth pursuing an ADHD diagnosis. -
Easily doneDo you claim that people being repeatedly interrupted in conversation with others only happens to autistic people
No. And neither does OOP.
or happens more frequently to autistic people
No. And neither does OOP.
or that it happening is “harder” on an autistic person than it is on neurotypicals
No. And neither does OOP.
Now, did you jump into this thread just to Well, akshually, or did you have a real point that’s of interest to the rest of the class? Because my issue here is that you seem to want to make the discussion about your disruptive smug fuckery, and think having that pointed out in any way makes the pointer an asshole.
Which makes you a colossal dickhead. And a troll.
Go back to harassing the goats on your bridge.

But how do normal people just keep talking in a conversation that has no gaps?fridam@lemmy.blahaj.zone This. There’s some sort of flow and cadence they lock on to, and seem to know when to give way and when to take over. There might even be body language they’re reading to know when to jump in and when to yield. I’ve watched it happen at work for years now, where my pod of coworkers will be discussing an issue, and they all just speak seamlessly, one person’s sentence sending and the next person’s beginning like they had coordinated. Meanwhile, I’ll be sitting there waiting for everyone to stop and give a clear signal that there is room to add my own thoughts, and the space never comes.
Usually my manager puts the breaks on the discussion to say “Kichae, it looks like you have something you want to add”. Or, I just stop waiting for an opportunity and start talking over people, and I’m the largest and loudest guy in the room, so they stop.

Easily donelostcarcosan@lemmy.today No. I’m not upset at all. Why do you choose to read my comment as I were? I thumbed my nose at someone who dripped in with nothing to contribute other than being a jerkass prick, but that’s different from being upset.
Are you supporting the little whiny one?

Easily doneAngryhumanoid Why? What have I done that is assholeish, other than point out that there might be a reason these posts keep coming up?
Whining about them seems like awfully fucking dickhead behaviour, though.

Hey linguistic dorks:Catelli I say it in real life, but only ironically. I use it unironically online. All y’all on the interwebs do be lovin’ quirky wordsing, and I’all be one o’y’all on the interwebs.

Easily doneAngryhumanoid The autistic experience of being told the thing that happens to you and that feels especially bad or frustrating is normal, so STFU about it. As if finding shit everyone around you sees as normal insufferable isn’t part of the autistic experience.

Easily doneiamnorrealtakeyourmeds@lemmy.world
find a neurolospicy friend group. Immediately. Go to where you think you’ll will want to hang out, find a neurolospicy group, and force you way in. best thing I’ve ever done in my life.
It should be noted, this trick doesn’t work if the group is all extroverted ADHD-havers.

American foodnjm1314@lemmy.world Did you want to see the phrase “hotdog melt” today? Because I didn’t. But you had to be a pedant about things.

#Meme #HumourLinkedIn is such an oppressive space now. Avalanches of crap jobs with shit pay, fake jobs, and so, so, so many ChatGPT-authored posts about how AI is changing the world.
