Today I was at catechesis talking to a boy who liked Roman history like me, and the teacher tried to "be nice" and join in the chat.

Her eyes widened as I spent the next 5 minutes listing why should Marcus Aurelius be hated and why was Claudius the greatest dude.

Entire trains, or just the locomotives that pull them? Usually the locomotives are the focus.

Locomotives are for normies. A true autist knows the cars as well, and who made the handrails.

I can tell you roughly where all the main roads from № 1-20 in my country lead

Also I can count up to 1024 on my hands in binary

Why not ternary? Your fingers have more than 1 joint. If you exclude the thumbs, you could even do quaternary or whatever it's called.

... and then named all the dinosaurs, then cloud types, then helpfully pointed out there are actually 6 states of matter and named described each of them...

when you learn enough about physics you realize theres really only two phases of matter. electrons attached and electrons not attached. most of the ones people think about are varying flavors of electrons attached.

Wait, 6? Plasma, condensate... What's the sixth?

I've only had the confidence/anger to say it directly to soneone once, but I've decided in the future to reply to this with "and you didn't look like a judgemental piece of shit, yet here we are."

The dangerous thing is that I would practice this until it’s a habit and then auto-deploy the script at the worst possible person.

I see you too have adhd

I'm not autistic, but this sounds like a good way to get out of a conversation. Would this be cultural appropriation?

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 2 hours ago

This is one of the ways to handle someone saying you don't look disabled (whether autism or other). I think w can all share it when appropriately used against judgmental assholes. I personally have gone with a less aggressive "and you didn't look so rude".

I do the Hundred Hand Trick for them. Usually gets them off my back.
