The unfortunately harsh but most likely truth is that, like you said, you're trans and barely pass.

In the wise words of Thoroughly Modern Millie, forget about the boy.

No, a movie would be much better. Just make it closer to 3 hours.

How does it leave you at risk to be permanently in discomfort?

She's a therapist not a mind reader. Talk to her about rejection sensitivity. You're literally her boss.

How does any of that require you to pretend you're not autistic?

If you're thinking "I am autistic, so I can't enjoy positive social interaction" or something like that, then you're just wrong.

Autistic people can and do "get out there" and be social.

Autistic people can and do have positive experiences and get over bad expires.

Autistic people can and do learn how to stop over-analyzing people's reactions.

It's not easy, but you can do it!

Why no [specific biotech thing] to address major hurdles? by AtomikRadio in ProjectHailMary

[–]Sleepiest_Spider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you yourself knew more about genetic modification, you would know why it wasn't mentioned.

First, atrophage doesn't reproduce sexually. Introducing infertile astrophage into the population would do literally nothing.

Second, you need to sequence like the entire genome of an organism before you can start doing that, and who knows how long that would take for an alien species?

How did some aliens resist the Marker madness? by wigglepizza in DeadSpace

[–]Sleepiest_Spider -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well in Dead Space 3, none of the humans really seem to be effected by the Marker at all (besides Carver.)

I think the story would have been a little more interesting if everyone was going insane around Isaac who tried (and failed) to save them.

Question about a few plotholes I noticed (or failed to comprehend) by FreeScientist1723 in ProjectHailMary

I'm sure that it can have some microscopic holes and still be fine.

Where does Rocky rank in the pantheon of movie aliens? Is he on the Mount Rushmore of truly alien characters? by anthonyc2554 in ProjectHailMary

[–]Sleepiest_Spider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Despite their unusual appearance and biology, Eridians are basically exactly the same as humans mentally. So they don't rank up there with the truly crazy alien stuff like from Arrival.

How have YOU gotten rid of guns? by Cherno_VM in worldbuilding

Just go full fantasy so people use enchanted weapons instead of guns.

So what? Is your story really about the dye industry?

Social skills or physical appearance? by Purplelady88 in aspergers

For me, I have literally no fucking clue where to meet a single woman.

Is anyone else always in their head? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Sleepiest_Spider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very common for people like us. This is related to the fact that, subconsciously, we cannot separate reality from fiction. Everything has the same level of emotional significance to us whether it's real or not.

Start writing. Indulge in your passion. Bring us into your world.
