i would walk around in big circles, which coincided with the walking pattern of the surveillants (or whatvere you call the in english), so we started talking.
this did not help beating the “teacher’s pet” allegations.
i read Wikipedia.
so
much
wikipedia
my grandma used to call me “el wikipedio” sbsbahb lol.
Altough i was diagnosed.
I love Wikipedia so much. I love being able to just take a random meander through whatever I find interesting. Often, it’s not “real learning”, that I do, because accumulating random fragments of information isn’t the same as actually gaining knowledge, but it sure is fun.
You fucks are making me think I’m autistic
You have your $HOME as your username
“Why aren’t you out playing sports???”
I heard it many times.
There are several peer-reviewed studies that show neurotypicals rate even just the TRANSCRIPT of autistic people’s speech as 30% less favorable across all social classes and segments.

And worst of all: the subjects couldn’t even tell why they did it, they literally hate us instinctively.
Thankfully no. My school had lot of non asshole kids (I think kids are usually trained to be selfish assholes) who were kind and patient enough to socialize with weirdos (aka undiag autistic kids) like me. They were the reason I developed somewhat functional (though absolutely not ‘normal’) social life in adulthood. We are still friends, unfortunately we are spread all over the world nowadays cause life.
I think culture matters too, autistic spectrum friends of mine who went to US schools tend so say having very different experience. Opposite anecdotes were from kids in asia.
No, being a selfish asshole is instinctive for humans. Being egalitarian is what must be taught
I think both traits are taught and at the same time innate at the same time. While growing up, we learn an abstract value system that shapes when we want to be selfish and when not.
Have you taken any developmental psych courses?
Yes, in uni.
Ok then you should know that there is a fucktonne of research about behaviors before values are capable of being learned
I totally know. What I said is what ‘I think’ not what I ‘discovered’. There’s isn’t more science in it than in an educated guess. Taking a course doesn’t make me a behavioral scientist and even then claiming what I know is absolute is pure bs.
… ok so then you know that without social training humans don’t really have a value system besides ‘make sure my needs are met’…
