Im in yippieee mode rn, in spite of recent events. Or because of them. I really connected with my autism these last few days. Being in autism communities really showed me what it looked like for me. I love connecting with my autism and discover parts of myself that weren't that apparent to me or i didn't know about.

Through the r/autism incident i learned about my strong sense of justice and my commitment to do things that are right to me, like pushing through for something i believe is right. I couldn't sit and watch something as heinous as that which happened there and even though I was fighting alone i was relentless on calling out the indifference of the mods there. I pushed through, lost sleep, got picked apart, got my posts taken down and i was still uploading them even though it was obvious i was gonna lose, i still pushed through bc i was hoping people would pick up on it and realize what happened was unacceptable. The mods didn't scare me, the bans didn't scare me and when i

Do you find it easy to learn new languages (human languages, spoken/written, like english spanish etc)? I am about to learn 4th till fluent level and wondering how long it will take. I find it easy to learn words and rules of making sentences from words, but I need practice and for practice I need to socialize, which is a problem. Do you have any suggestions how to make practice and avoid socializing? May be talk to myself only in my new language the whole day?

this is gonna be a long post about a conlang ive constructed, which is a mix of another language ive made. The setting is the ficticuous island of Sabokania, situated between the azores and cabo verde. So here it goes:

INTRODUCTION the Romaniekeia is a language spoken in the Metorina region. Due to european migrations from the mediterranean in the XVI century the region has experienced a linguistic mix between various romance languages and the local dialect of the warabo. The language borrows characteristics from both mother-languages such as grammar, vocabulary and phonetics. In the transcription of the language the latinization method will be the one used for ruchi languages. 1- SENTENCE STRUCTURE Romaniekeia is SVO, like most romance languages. eg. mea chineo romaniekei tasak l'è a meaas keia I speak romaniekeia because it's my language

1. Personal pronouns Mea=I/Me Tea=you Lia=he/she/it (lia is a gender neutral pronoun) for the plural form of these pronouns the language borrow

in my case i have a very strong internal echolalia, as in i get stuck with a phrase or a specific thought, song, word, ecc... which i find very annoying, though I dont know about external echolalia, I never noticed

You can do this Lexam, just keep it casual. Dont talk about your Japanese Jesus conspiracy theories. Just nice and casual conversation. Ok here we go.

Hi everyone, how is your weather today?

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

hi, I'm an italian 22yo with level 1 autism and ADHD, recently diagnosed. I just joined and wanted to have a place where I'm understood. I hope we get along well :D

I sadly don't have anyone I'm close to that gets it. I've tried explaining it and got nowhere

The party was fun. And there was good food. I stayed for three hours. I felt that was an appropriate amount of time.

A funny meme about sensory input!

My friend cancelled our Dungeons and Dragons game for the second time in a row. This second time is because he is having a birthday party. I'm trying to be excited about the party. But I think I need to talk to him about the responsibility of hosting a game.

I remembered when I was a kid trying to learn to hold a pen "properly" (as everyone do) I couldn't manage to do it and was holding it in my own way. Parents and teachers were trying to teach me how to hold it "properly" but it just didn't work out, I sticked to the way it was comfortable to me. The common way of holding it wasn't understandable to me and I just could not do it no matter how much I tried. Eventually adults gave up and let me be, except few more poor attempts from random teachers in school to re-teach me. I ended up with my own unique method of holding the pen and being asked from every person see my grip "why you are holding pen like that?". My handwriting wasn't very good, in school classes I would get lower grades because of it. Later as a teenager when I was "randomly" (you know) interested in calligraphy I have mastered my handwriting to a level none of those adults could ever imagine I would do, but still using the same grip I learned as a child and until now. Now
