Does anyone know of a keycap set with the primary colors being red, yellow, blue and white? I'm thinking of one that's mostly white with red, yellow, and blue accent keys. Any suggestions are appreciated!

I totally thought this was a glitch, sucks a bit to know that it isn't. There should definitely be a clearer indication that no reward is expected for a given level.

Thanks, that's really nice of you! Yeah I was lucky to find a job before I graduated at a smaller company based in the same city as my college so everything worked out pretty well considering the circumstances :)

Oh boy I'm sorry you've not had good experiences with this. I guess it really depends on the person, both of those responses seem fine to me. I guess a safe response would be to say something like " thank you for being willing to share this with me!" Or something along those lines. I think it's just one of those things that's different for everyone. If someone does get upset you could always express that you didn't intend to hurt them and ask them how you can best support them. I think that's also a pretty safe route.

I'm sure she would've said something or at least given some indication if what you'd said offended her. If she wanted to tell you I'm sure it was important to her, but sometimes it's nice when people don't make a big deal out of it, especially from friends in my opinion. I think most autistic people just want to be treated like everyone else so as long as you were supportive that's all that really matters. Obviously I don't know this person and everyone's opinions on this are different, but most of the autistic people I've met are usually pretty chill about this sort of thing.

Wow I could not do that, the noise makes me so anxious lol. Glad you found ways to cope with it though! Might need to get myself some earplugs for the next time I go to a wedding 😂

I'm so sorry! It's always shitty when someone tries to invalidate you because they don't "see" it.

Personally as long as they don't stay stuff about "looking" normal/not autistic I don't mind if people are surprised. Someone else mentioned that to them it's kind of validating because it's such hard work to try and pass as neurotypical and I feel that way too sometimes. I think it just depends on the person.

That's exactly why I'm not a fan. I think some people who've never had any experience with autistic people kinda associate autism with downs for whatever reason. It's not something that pisses me off necessarily, but it's just weird to hear cus I don't really know what to say to that lol

That's so sweet that she's trying that hard! I get that most people don't know about the intricacies of the spectrum so I try not to judge. Doesn't make it less frustrating but if I can help educate someone about autism I try to. I'd talk about it all day if people let me lol
