       @Urban_Hermit it is why I aspire to be as nonstandard as I can be.  I'll show folks who need to see me being standard, my ability to be standard, but those who I frankly could give a damn what they think? Yep, I"m flying my happily autistic flag loudly and proudly.  Now would I have a meltdown in the middle of the supermarket, and think, because i"M autistic I can get away with it? No siree I wouldn't, but would i vocal stim if I found something I was looking for in the grocery store? Yes i would.

       #ActuallyAutistic I really shouldn't and I try not to use neuro-typical as an insult, but by damn it does mean average and I am not really impressed with people who aspire to be "average".It seems about half of people rank the full range of humans on a strictly linear "trying to be normal"<---->"not trying hard enough to be normal" scale, and half of those would commit genocide to eliminate everybody different.It ignores a full cloud of valid talents & motivations.Boring is a poor goal.
