  “What are you thinking?” My favorite answer is a line from Married With Children: “If I wanted everyone to know I’d be talking instead of thinking.”

  &quot;You need to go out more and make friends&quot;. Socialising is the most stressful and exhausting thing for me and I am not myself, but act for the public in the way I think is expected.

  I always loved Mitch Hedberg&apos;s response to &quot;Where do you see yourself in 5 years?&quot; question. &quot;Celebrating the 5th anniversary of you asking me this question&quot;

  “Don’t worry about it” drives &nbsp;me bonkers! &nbsp;I notice important details that allistics do not. If I bring them up to an allistic person and they respond “don’t worry about it”, I now not only STILL need to know if it’s a problem but I ALSO need to know if WE have a problem where you are being dismissive of my legitimate concern or if you actually know more than me so now I have to handle your emotions and mine while I try not to freak out, become disregulated, or drop my mask. <br>It’s dropping a huge amount of mental and emotional weight on me that’s the literal opposite of not worrying about it.

  &quot;I&apos;ll drop by sometime tomorrow.&quot;<br><br>Seriously, eff all the way off basically you&apos;ve doomed me to a whole day obsessing over what that means (today) and an unknown percentage of tomorrow obsessing over what it means WHILE staring at the front door and hearing every, tiny sound in existence because now, without permission, my ears are listening for you. <br><br>The WORST.

  My Dad went to the doctor, and the doctor asked him about his pain level by saying, &quot;Pain?&quot; My Dad said, &quot;No thanks.&quot; It&apos;s one of my favorite things my Dad ever did.
