when you’re autistic but you still wanna be cool online

fayrun:

– when ur reblogging a post about your special interest and ur trying to decide whether or not infodumping and screaming in all caps in the tags would be annoying

– “am i close enough with this person to use u instead of you? do i even need to wait? can i use “u” with strangers??”

– “you’ll have to forgive me for this…” no that sounds way too formal what’s the Normal way to phrase it?

-“is this a situation where proper grammar and spelling is necessary?”

– “i’m feeling an emotion ?? what do people do when they feel an emotion? swear??? yeah i can do that what’s the right swear word to use in this context?”

– when you’re re-reading a post before you post it and find words like “therefore” and u gotta rewrite the whole thing

– when your grammar is both too formal and too casual and ur not sure if what u said was phrased awkwardly

– when you run out of words to say so you respond to everything with ‘aaaaaa’

– “was that a nice thing to say???? did that seem blunt or rude? how do i tell?? i don’t want them to think i hate them. best to be overly positive just to be sure”

– typin how you talk in real life…… so there are fuckin ellipses everywhere……… cause you pause a lot. and then you feel weird about it.

– “is this person being rude or am i misinterpreting it? best to just not respond at all”
