This bothers me so much, my coworker constantly refers to Claude as "he" even when I remind him that's a bad idea for long term, to either call it "it" or Claude. But nope even in front of the CEO it's all "I was just working with him and gosh he makes everything so great blah blah blah, he frustrates me sometimes blah blah"

I did a stint in an inpatient mental facility, and one of the other people there was suffering from voices in her head and kept a notebook full of some of the things they said. I asked if I could take a look and it was just...thoughts. Like, normal thoughts that I had assumed everyone had.
Only time it's annoying is when my thoughts are angry and in aramaic, but at least I know it's just normal thoughts. Lmao
Yeah. I've got Aphantasia and no internal monolog

Satire, or autism… satire or autism…. Hmmmmmm
He just figured out the rubber ducky method for problem-solving.
Autistic people can produce some of the best types of satire. So i am saying both.
Don't insult autists like that
This hit me the same as “don’t talk shit about midgets!”
It's impossible to tell
People have been doing this with god since the dawn of humanity

This problem is real—you are right to question it.
