No but I use “autism” because I know that that’s correct even if he doesn’t 😂

Also you have a shit ton of people in this thread who actually HAVE autism who are claiming him. If it helps. I’ll claim Donald Trump as one of my adhd people. 10000% PD’s are more common in people with adhd, particularly cluster b

probably because a lot of that is almost scripted. If course he could also form deeper connections too, but it wasn’t till you got into one that you were like ohhh ok I have to explain to you why I need you to text me more than once a week if you want to call this a relationship lol

One of my favorite stories to tell to disabuse people of stereotypes about autism is—I dated a guy who was diagnosed on the spectrum who was homecoming king in high school. He was way more socially connected than me! He had learned to mask well and was good at surface level social connections,

But yeah I feel like I could nail the precise moment when it starts to turn away from pure “I’m talking about what it’s like to have autism” to “and now I’m using that to justify why I’m an asshole.” Like could cue it up to the second. But I’m kinda high so I could just be high

Yeah you can’t fake this level of understanding of the experience of autism. Lol I can hear him trying to mimic intonation in a couple points.

Probably even strategically employing it to himself—it’s entirely possible to have both autism and NPD, you know. I just like to stay away from talking about that because autism already gets a bad rap and people don’t understand it. But they’re people.

Eh, idk, I don’t think that’s an unfair characterization of how a lot of folks with autism feel about it. Is he using that for manipulative purposes? Ohhhhh yes. But that doesn’t mean he’s making things up, either. Just strategically deploying true information in a way that benefits him

kindainteresting22.bsky.social @kindainteresting22.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
If you don’t do that, you end up with folks who maybe miss the mark in theory of mind once in awhile, but generally care about getting it right. Maybe even care a LOT and beat themselves up when they get it wrong.

A lot of it boils down to context. If you take a kid that’s got some baseline difficulties with perspective taking (common across a range of neurodivergence, not just autism) and tell them over and over that their perspective is the only one that matters, that’s gonna be a bad combination

kindainteresting22.bsky.social @kindainteresting22.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Speaking as a fellow neurodivergent, it’s kind of a best of times worst of times situation imo—we can be the best of people, but also the most creatively awful worst of people

There’s also a lawsuit against OUSD being led by a mom’s of liberty-type, where they’re suing for discrimination over a program to help Latinx kids graduate because it doesn’t accept white kids. I worked at one of the schools who hosts the program—there was only 1 white kid in the whole school

Quick story. My op-ed on how corporations that kept their DEI programs performed just as well financially was accepted & factchecked at TIME Magazine. Just needed "pro forma review by the legal department." Suddenly the piece is spiked Why? Benioff owns TIME and wants to ingratiate himself to Trump

No public executions are good for kids, it teaches them what happens if they don’t toe the line

Only if they’re operating by the principle that “hate” is equivalent to “love” because they are opposites, could I be said to have “loved” Charlie Kirk

Ohhhhh see I missed the original context, so I decided to take him at his word about his point. I did like the part where he was like “maybe I AM patriarchal” I wish I could have got that screenshot before he blocked me 😂

Anyway, it took like 4 rounds of back and forth with the other dude to realize that his “people should be allowed to have conversations!” Is really a Trojan horse for “I should be able to hit on women in public.”

kindainteresting22.bsky.social @kindainteresting22.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
And I don’t like using “ok but this is a thing that’s actually happened to me” as a conversation closer but I keep getting backed into a place where I feel like I have to disclose that, because facts and jokes and logic aren’t doing it

Like what am I supposed to announce “once I was raped and also!” every time I start talking about sexual violence in order for people to take me seriously when I’m having an intellectual conversation? Cause I’d prefer to just stick to the intellectuals honestly

kindainteresting22.bsky.social @kindainteresting22.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Like it’s one thing if a survivor is on the internet or a documentary talking about their experiences, I guess it’s entirely another thing to suddenly realize midway through a conversation that you’re being a massive dick to one

kindainteresting22.bsky.social @kindainteresting22.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
It’s interesting how people are chill with discussing “survivors” in an abstract context or when it’s framed in a specific way But when you bring up your own experience as a relevant fact pertaining to a debate you’re in, suddenly people don’t wanna keep talking

I was once assaulted by a guy I had a crush on and now I’m scared of any man who thinks I’m cute” and he blocked me 🤷‍♀️ It’s almost like he didn’t want to have a real conversation about the real issues at stake in his fun little fantasy world where everyone is safe in public

Why do you think I was anxious about the man sitting next to me? I was raped once by a guy I had a crush on, my friend. Public spaces are more dangerous for me than they are for you. Simply a fact. See I started off joking and now like ayo I am no longer playing, because my anxiety

kindainteresting22.bsky.social @kindainteresting22.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Which is, btw, one of the factors that keeps me out of public life and prevents me from interacting with strangers. If I could have trusted that the guy sitting next to me was just being friendly, I wouldn’t have been anxious So your own argument demands that you take women seriously on this

“I’m sorry it made you uncomfortable but also I don’t care.” So you’re saying the space exists for people like you to use it the way they want to, and people like me need to just get over it? Hmmmmm…. Feels a little patriarchal to me my dawg
