Gilgwath<p>I noticed how many of the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/allistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allistic</span></a> people and especially organisations tend to just walk all over my schedule. They are surprised when they show up half an hour too early and it makes me stressed and grumpy. In turn they get stressed and grumpy when I just send them away until it's time for them to show up. Why do we even make an appointment, when they intend to show up when ever. 🤷 <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a></p>

@MindfulnessBelle @actuallyautistic 🤣🤣 I just disable the steam of consciousness filter until they get that anxious flight response look. Ah! My work is done here. #ActuallyAutistic

It reminds me of one of my favorite expressions. “If that thing I said scares you, just remember that my filter works.”

Or “Are you REALLY sure you want me to answer that?” Most only make this error once. If they do it again I don’t stop to ask.

I use these as #allistic #training aids. 🤣🤣

Als #actuallyautistic treffe ich regelmäßig auf so etwas.
Sobald das Wort #Autismus fällt, glauben allistische (= nicht-autistisch) Menschen, limitieren, bewerten und formen zu können.

Es kommt nicht mehr darauf an, was wir sagen, sondern nur, dass wir wiederholen, was ein Allist gesagt hat. Egal wie gut unsere Argumente sind.

Ich bezeichne das als #allistic #Bias. Es wird ein Bild geschaffen, das kein Allist erreichen kann und daran werden wir gemessen und bewertet.
