    Well, the internet is down in my home, and now I have deal with the dreaded call of the internet service provider.

    Does anybody else hate when someone uses the vacuum cleaner? I feel like a dog or something.

    Yes, I hate the vacuum cleaner, leaf blowers, lawn mowers, loud traffic noises, and loud music.

    So, my boss called called me to come in early, and there goes my plans for the day. Don't they know I have a schedule to keep?

    So, I spilled a smoothie all over myself, and am now going to take a bath. I hate being sticky.

    I would do the same. Sticky is very icky.

    It's good to know that other adults get diagnosed with autism late. Kinda shows that there's always more to learn about the spectrum.

    So, there's this thing that I've recently noticed around some members of my family. Since, finding out about my autism, there's the obvious "You don't look autistic and just want attention" responses, but what's worse than that is the ones who now treat me as if I were a child and can't do anything for myself (usually older family members).

    Why is it so hard to communicate my feelings to others without sounding like a disinterested and uncaring robot?

    Don't you hate it when people keeps commenting on your "weird" behavior? How about you stop caring so much about people being different than you?

    I agree, people love to police others in all areas of life. Thought, behaviour, emotions, presentation etc. It's a sort of in built social control humans have.

    Yup, the thought police.

    Anyone else get freak out when you see images of people staring at you.

    That reminds of a past forum member of here that used one eyeball just staring out as their avatar. It use to creep me out. Lol

    No but I don't like visual ASMR YouTube videos where a sexy girl who's doing the video stares into the camera, with her overdone make-up and huge breasts, as she's doing the ASMR things. Ew.

    Yes on those creepy and menacing YouTube thumbnails

    So, people at church (I'm not religious by the way, but I'm forced to go) keep commenting that I don't like to make eye contact, but then I have to tell them that when I'm listening, my eyes are elsewhere otherwise I wouldn't hear a word they say.

    When you have your eyes closed people always assume your sleeping but I do this to focus on a talk

    This is me just guessing but no eye contact in the other could signal to primitive lower brain that the other is scheming, or untrustworthy in some way. Whereas too much eye contact could signal aggression. Its a tight rope!

    I think it's more about people thinking that you're not paying attention to them and not listening to what they're saying. It seems diametral to the way we function (no eye contact = listening, versus other people: eye contact = listening).

    I hate when people ask me for answers to random questions. Just because I know the answer doesn't mean I'm an encyclopedia.

    I'm someone who asks rhetorical questions a lot, and it's so annoying when people try to answer them. Lol

    What I hate the most is someone forcing me to communicate by talking. Whenever I talk, it doesn't come out right and I communicate better non verbally.

    I ramble on endlessly my own way with great fluidity. The problem is that "my way" is not what anybody else wants to hear. When I do it "their way", then I'm a halting, stuttering autist, and they don't like that either. Don't play with those you can never win with.

    I've learned this about myself as well. I thought I didn't like being social perhaps, but it is specifically being prompted into communication that irks me. Especially when tired. Sometimes I'll be prompted to give my feelings on something when I haven't even gotten to that part to myself yet which is frustrating as I'd need silence to figure it out thus halting conversation.

    So, I just organized the laundry in piles that are the most efficient to wash, dry, and distribute and somehow my mom still mixes the wrong clothes together. I mean, why even bother at this point? Oh, yeah, my brain is built different.
