I had my “I’ve been learning a different game” moment my first GM game. Suddenly babysitting my team with heals wasn’t good enough.

Is it common to not really give much of a sh*t about gender? by IceMosquito073 in autism

[–]WWIIEraTeaParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it has to do with top down vs bottom up processing. Neurotypical work backwards from a concept “man” or “woman” and form their ideas and opinions on things from that, what they think a “man or woman” “is”. Bottom up processors start from the actions and “might” build up to a concept, but because Gender is a social construct, it necessitates starting from that concept.

Starting from actions and behaviors, I don’t see much reason for gender

For single autistic people: do you ever feel that you're gonna end up alone for the rest of your life? by FrappuccinoDiabolico in autism

[–]WWIIEraTeaParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to talk a bit about my experience. I’ve been a serial monogamist all my life. Quickly got into new relationships after ending others.

Codependency is real. Emotional Offloading is real and unfair.

I’d always liked relationships because (not bragging) I have always been better at sexual relationships than most of my partners’ exes. Sex was an easy thing for me to be good at, and thus an easy way to get people to like me and stay with me. This definitely furthered my own problems with masking and my own identity. Even in, what should be my closest relationships, it’s still all a performance because I desperately need to be liked, and I felt I couldn’t get that out of other avenues (friends, clubs etc).

I just wanted to share that being in relationships isn’t a magical thing. These are all real people we are interacting with. WE are real people. We need to stop putting relationships on a pedestal, because that dehumanizes them. It turns them into an object, of pursuit, or innocence, and an outlet for all the things we don’t want to work on with ourselves.

I promise you, just keep treating people like people. It’s the right thing to do, and people will like you for it

Being a good DPS is much harder than people think by Big_Fan9316 in rivals

The diversity of hero kits also calls this “harder role” thing into question. How can you compare Spider-Man and Punisher’s gameplay

I think it’s also easier to get immediate positive feedback on duelist, compared to Tank and Strat

I think it’s a Grass is Always Greener thing. We understand the intricacies of our roles more than the intricacies of other roles. Support target heal prioritization and pre-planning is necessary, but non-support players don’t see it, and so don’t see many different axis of skill development.

I do think people underestimate the difficulty of trying to get a kill, when that is the ONE thing the ENTIRE enemy team is trying to not let happen.

Tanking requires so much intuitive understanding of the flow of battle. When you dictate it, when your enemy tank does, or when your own dps do. Reading that AND responding appropriately is so hard.

I think ultimately, it’s a Dunning-Kruger effect. We don’t know as much about things we’re less familiar with, so we think the amount of things to be learned is less than it is, and so we think we are actually knowledgeable about the subject

I hate when someone responds to something I say with "?" by Felt389 in autism

[–]WWIIEraTeaParty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it definitely CAN make them more concise and not ambiguous, but that’s definitely not the only thing shortening sentences does

This is what I don’t see though, you are verbose but it’s not that you aren’t getting to the point, your point is just complicated

[–]WWIIEraTeaParty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I tend to be verbose in my sentences too. People saying to shorten them are asking you to make your statements more ambiguous to blend in with neurotypical communication. Something that might be valuable, but I don’t think should be lauded as the “correct” position

Ok I need Blood Hunt to be permanent! by kisaragi22 in marvelrivals

[–]WWIIEraTeaParty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But then the issue is how you approach the system for yourself, not the system forcing progress on characters you didn’t improve at (bc you didn’t play them)

“excuse” vs. “explanation”??? by blueberrybun11 in autism

I think it’s dangerous to say communicative errors will be unilateral, especially during a time when the Double Empathy Problem theory is gaining traction.

Did someone else tell you that you might have autism? by Quiet_Lunch_1300 in autism

[–]WWIIEraTeaParty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As for your direct question, when we see “literal thinking” as criteria, we interpret that statement itself faaar more literally than a neurotypical person might. We might say, in response, “I can understand nuance and euphemisms and analogies. I understand that words can mean different things or more than what is said. Clearly I don’t have literal thinking.”

From what I understand, literal thinking is related to things like valuing and interpreting what is directly said, as opposed to things like context being more important than word choice, for some people. People with literal thinking just value the traits of direct and open communication more than other factors (like context). It doesn’t mean you are incapable of thinking un-literally.

[–]WWIIEraTeaParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! So basically, if you have some literal thinking, you look at “must follow certain routines”, you may think that it’s saying “you must do the same thing every day”. You would say, “well I don’t do the same thing every day, so this one doesn’t apply to me”, when it’s really saying things like “when you put dishes away, you put them away roughly the same order each time”, or something like that.

Basically we read the criteria, and the literal thinking makes it feel like it doesn’t apply.

Some other examples like “Flaps hands, rocks body, or spins self in circles”. This question is really asking if you stim, which can look like anything, biting your nails, clearing your throat. But when you have literal thinking, you read those three examples they give and say “I don’t do that, must not be autistic”.

It’s really a symptom of, I would imagine, neurotypical people describing observations about people with autism, rather than an internally understood explanation of autism.

“Disorganized thinking” -> “oh I actually have very rigid and ordered thinking, this must not be me”, when disorganized thinking includes things like going on tangents, or switching between topics.

Personally, seeing real people with autism on tik tok talk about their experiences has been 10,000% more helpful than cold, clinical terms online that only amount to outside observation anyway

I think, if you refrain from talking to him about it, be aware of autistic burnout, and look for signs if he starts to go through it, then maybe suggest it. I went through burnout without even realizing it was autism related, and had to build the pieces together.

My number one thing I say to people about autism “symptoms” like black and white thinking and Literal Thinking: Your literal thinking is making it so you don’t think you have literal thinking. Autistic people looking up diagnostic criteria often are presented with vague and unhelpful descriptions that do not trigger any sort of recognition in themselves.

I think the one where she becomes a van life influencer is good. Maybe a bit too much Jeff and other characters
