Functioning labels like "Severe" are about how how another person's autism affects _you,_ rather than how it affects _them._

I hate the "How are you?" thing, too. I think most autistic people do. If you don't really want to know how someone is (bearing in mind that it's a loaded question if the recipient answers honestly), _then don't ask._ Say Hi, nice to see you, or something like that. But if you really do want to know how someone is, ask how they are. If they answer honestly, well, that's a nice way for humans to truly get to know each other and share real connection.

Love your work Joe, and while you may not see yourself as a spokesperson you're absolutely on point and aligned with community and would be amazing in that role. The way you explained autistic childhood was so painfully accurate.

As an autistic adult who masked my autism most of my life, the advice "Be yourself," is exactly what I'm learning to do. Excellent special and if it weren't for autistic comedians, I wouldn't have learned that I too am autistic, which has been a literal life-saver. Thanks for being your unique self and giving others a look at autism in the wild!
@polyliker80654 ай бұрын
It is also great advice for other neurodivergents. I'm not autistic but have pretty hefty adhd myself and was pretty good at 'passing' by just winging it. Then I hit adult life and got in trouble. I got diagnosed, mostly because of history in our family (if they weren't diagnosed I'd still be struggling super hard) and am doing a lot better while just learning to accept myself and all the bad things that come with that. Masking is still a huge part of my personality because it is just so ingrained. But learning things like saying 'sorry, I was distracted, can you repeat that?' instead of just nodding and going 'yeah' and then freaking out after that because I clearly am missing vital information is quite freeing.

Apropos the Gatwick Hotel bit. Currently, there is a trial in Norway on a huge drug smuggling operation. Some of the involved claimed they are just here on vacation. As evidence that they are not in any way here to enjoy themselves and are in fact EXTREMELY SUSPECT, the prosecution point out that they voluntarily stayed in the airport hotel.

High heels hurt and autism can make you clumsy. Nail polish and all the stuff in beauty salons smells too strong. Tight clothes...well you see why an autistic girl wouldn't fit the Barbie doll gender markers, but I have never been anything but what I am--female. Just not "female impersonator".
