Autism Memes To Make You HAPPY FLAP

[@imautisticnowwhat]

My son said he actually loves that Pikachu, so maybe that little boy was having the time of his life? 😅 I do think he looks a bit too much like a dirty sponge someone just used to clean their car, though 👀 And the human hands 💀 Hope this gives you a laugh! Especially that stupid black mark on my neck (which is already discoloured due to stimming 😅) Here’s the full memes playlist if you need more fun right now: kzbin.info/aero/PLEHi2YmjD7gEssdqTn0247t_niQMt2b22 And if you’d like to join us playing Fall Guys on the 17th of November at 7.30pm GMT (NEXT WEEK!), here’s a link to join the Patreon: www.patreon.com/imautisticnowwhat If you want a more serious discussion, did you see last week’s about celebrities and their ‘autism conspiracy theories’? Here’s a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnWuY6Cfid-HiqM And if you missed my video about the new autism pumpkin trend: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXWznWeXgNFjnaM Sending lots of love.

Meg, I have to share with you. In the middle of watching your video about autistic meltdowns I realized I had to share it with my mom. I sent her the link and started dreading her response but the next morning she really surprised me. She was really excited. She said she went and watched a whole bunch of your other videos and she realized how much it describes of me and who I was as a child. She shared the videos with my dad and they've been incredibly validating. My mom even apologized for not seeing it before, and that she used to just think autism was about not looking at people in the eyes and being lost in their own world (which, to be fair, also describes me as a child. she constantly got on my case for staring at the ground.) She said she thinks you're adorable and very informative. Thank you for your videos. Theyve helped me a lot the past few weeks.

[@artheenbyrogue804]

Ah I'm so happy your mum and dad are so supportive and validating! And Meg is so awesome I'm glad her videos helped and continue to help you.

I’m currently looking for a job and online applications kill me. You enter your first name and surname, and then there’s a checkbox next to the statement, “I have a preferred name.” Every time, I have to remind myself that they mean a name that’s *different* from the one you just entered.

[@taoist32]

You could put in your real name. It doesn’t mean it has to be different. For example, my full name is Benjamin. On applications, I usually put Benjamin.

For the plural of octopus, it’s actually octopodes! Somewhere there’s what would be a great autistic meme for it, too! Something about not applying rules about plurality between Latin and Greek, but I can’t think of what it was! The one I found just now is: “Explain to a friend that they made the common mistake of affixing a second declension Latin plural to the Greek word Latinized into the third declension, ‘octopus.’ Watch their face as they reassess the value of our friendship.” 😂❤

I think many job descriptions are overstated because people get in a meeting and list off everything they would really love to have in a perfect world, and that becomes requirements. I also think some are overstated just to cut down on the underqualified overconfident people who'll take a shot at anything. Real truth is that a lot of the people who match the full qualifications turn around and walk away when they see the pay range. Sometimes they don't and the company gets a great hire for a two thirds of what they should pay. So why would a company ask for less? It's a mess and I hate it.

[@onceuponamelody]

Same. Or, most annoyingly, they hire the person who is socially most likable over everyone who meets or exceeds their so-called "requirements" O_o

[@corndogbark5915]

Oh my goodness, I had a horribly embarrassing experience with the losing belongings thing in third grade that I will never EVER forget 😭 I was so so upset about losing my new headband at recess that I recruited a ton of people to help me look for it. We combed EVERYWHERE, the endeavor took up just about the whole time I think, and when I was near tears with guilt and sadness about my cool new headband (thinking I had dropped it down the weird grate thing that I don't know the purpose of to this day), someone pointed out that it was around my neck. The entire time. I wanted to perish.

[@bestrafung2754]

I get what you said about thinking that people dislike you. I think it's a big part of anxiety that's also pretty common in many autistic people. My social anxiety has always been really bad and I constantly worry if I'm bothering people. Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) could be a big part of it too and I think it's probably common in autistic people too as well as people with ADHD. I definitely have RSD along with autism. Also, don't worry about the black mark, I often stim by twirling my hair and then mess it up too!

[@jimwilliams3816]

It took me a long time to conclude this, but I think my amygdala is the biggest factor in dysphoric feelings. When it’s overactive, there’s a pervasive if often vague sense of doom, and it’s going to look for some damned tiger in the bushes. That I screwed up and people are unhappy with me is a common tiger to think I see.

I've looked at job listings in retail, particularly stock clerk jobs, and they always seem to say "you must be able to list 50 lbs" (or whatever the weight is), and I'm like, "I have the upper body strength of a child.

Hey Meg, I have been watching your videos silently for quite a time (this sounded less creepy in my head) and wanted to finally say hi. You have been with me through my whole autism journey from first realisation, intense research, feeling like an imposter, getting diagnosed, more research, looking out for myself, imposter again and finally getting to a gentle and appreciative sense of myself (hopefully for good). I love watching you videos, especially when I´m stressed out. There is something really soothing about your channel, it feels like a save space I can reach to whenever I feel anxious. Idk if it is rude to call a person a stim but anyways you helped me a lot. So maybe next time you feel like no one likes you and you want to blow up this channel and your perfectionism hits hard, you can think of all the silent people you don´t even know that you helped with your videos and that´s perfect already :)

I’ve recently been going through my own journey as to wether I’m neurodivergent or not. I’m 30 and have done extensive research into autism and adhd and have realised that there’s a lot of things that make sense about me. So I’ve had a look at embrace autism and done a lot of the tests on there and they all suggest a likelihood of autism. I don’t want to self diagnose so I’m just researching more and more before plucking up courage to talk to my GP.

Regarding perfection, the best realisation I ever had to help me with it was the realisation that perfection isn't real, but rather is just a lie that humans created to tell each other that they aren't good enough. The closest you can get to perfection is to create things that resonate with people. As long as your work resonates with just one person, it's perfect, no matter what everyone else thinks, including you.😊

The difficulty going to bed is so relatable. Even if I do go to bed, I’m going to lay there for hours not sleeping. But then waking up is equally difficult. My natural rhythm is 2:00 am to 11:00 am, but the world does not function on that schedule, so it’s a never ending fight. Also the job application one is so true. It’s so hard to read all those requirements and still apply. I am grateful for my current job because job hunting is terrible.

The job thing THE JOB THING IS SO TRUE MY GOD

[@jimwilliams3816]

I’ve had coworkers who pretended to be good at things they weren’t. I don’t get why employers would want someone who isn’t straight about their capabilities. I have heard the “lacks confidence” argument, but it seems to me that being unwilling to fairly assess your abilities suggests lack of confidence. In the end, I suppose the employer wants someone who can sell themselves well. It’s true that I’m a horrible salesperson, and it has sometimes made me less effective in my job, darn it.

[@Robert_McGarry_Poems]

Or... companies know that honesty and integrity are signs of emotionally intelligent people who might cause more HR/PR problems for them in the long run. So they make up this ethos about "selling yourself" to the company... with the goal that they can pick and choose their subordinates easier. Lying isn't an economic trait. Selling yourself in a package that isn't your authentic self to achieve ends that are arbitrarily created by them in the first place creates a false and arbitrarily inflated sense of what is necessary. And chips away at common moral ground. It pits the already working class people against each other, instead of just doing what is right by them. The drop-in-the-bucket fallacy... I should do this because it's what everyone else is already doing. Surely, one person can't affect the whole balance. But everyone thinks that individually about the whole. Otherization in capital clothing.

[@ES11777]

@@jimwilliams3816Thank goodness not all jobs require being a salesperson

[@jimwilliams3816]

@ES1117 agreed. I always knew no one should ever hire me to be a salesman. I’m good at the job I took, but I did travel for work for some years, and it made me more of the “face of the company” that I ought to have been. The exposure caused me to finally notice, in my fifties, finally become fully aware of the extent of my social issues: I would sometimes fly home thinking my boss should never let me near other people again. COVID ended my traveling, and since then I’ve stayed away from clients to the greatest degree possible. It’s better for all concerned. So I don’t get why employers wouldn’t want to know about an employee’s weaknesses. Had I realized them myself, I would have cautioned my boss when discussing job responsibilities. I am good at the actual work I produce, although like Meg I am nit picky and slow.

My bedroom was flooding/flooded. I woke up in the morning got up, and stepped into a soggy carpet. My late dog had a propensity for having intentional accidents, so I thought he pee'd on the floor. I looked at him and said, "Pierre, why didn't you wake me up to go outside?" He gave me a confused look. As the day proceeded the soggy carpet spread farther and farther (or I noticed that more of the carpet was soggy). I kept blaming the dog for continuing to pee on the carpet. It took me a long while before I realized that the entire floor was soggy and my apartment was flooding again (first time in the bedroom, 7th time in the overall apartment). I felt so bad once I realized that it wasn't Piere! By the way, Piere weighed between 8-10 pounds and was a Chijuajua and Papillion mix. I honestly was beginning to think I needed to take the poor little guy to the vet because he was peeing so much! 😂🤣😂 I am sure he thought I was losing my marbles completely that day.

Omg schleich mentioned?! I had neighbor that was a foster parent and she had nearly every single animal with duplicates and babies in a giant wooden toy chest. Had the most fun ever creating animal cliques and starting drama

Oh! I have the food issue too! I’m lazy to cook but I’ve also been unable to go get groceries so it’s always a gamble what I’ll have at home (I live with my mom) but I don’t like my mom’s cooking. Not because she’s a bad cook but because I’ve eaten her foods for so long that they don’t get me excited anymore and she rarely gets into new foods. Except now but all of them are things that make me weirded out Right now we’re moving to a different apartment and we’ll get a better kitchen and we’ll be closer to my comfort store so I hope eating will get easier for me again. Right now I’ve just eaten “healthy” fast food (yes. I have a comfort store. I always know that I’ll find something I like and it has my favorite burger place next to it and the post office I often get my stuff sent to. Perfect store)

Meg the outfit is FIRE as per usual! Thanks for the memes and good luck with the move!!

The proper plural of Octopus is Octopodes. That is not just because it comes from Greek instead of Latin, but because it is a 3rd declension word in either language. You don't use a 2nd declension masculine plural ending on a 3rd declension word.

[@alicebthegachaweirdo8378]

Oh, that’s very interesting

[@stevekearney3233]

There may be specefic jargons or communities that use octopodes but octopuses is definitely acceptable.

[@magister343]

Similarly, the proper plural of Platypus is Platypodes and the plural or Rhinoceros is Rhinocerotes.

[@255lives8]

Why would we use a different language's plural marker for a loan word? Also it only seems to be Greek and Latin words were this matters tsunami doesn't use counters in English nor does moose cause English to become agglutinative.

[@kelliehastings]

I learned this in middle/highschool, so over a decade ago, and at the time loved sharing it with everyone, because octopodes is just a wonderful word in my opinion. My tendency to correct people back then about the proper pronunciation didn’t usually go over well and I never understood why, I just thought it was such a fun fact/word. It makes alot more sense now 😅

The Flora meme is so cute!!

Job hunting: In my field, everyone wants a 10-year-old with a Master's degree and 20 years experience. Definitely not an old fart with a Master's degree and 40 years experience!

I'm currently in my second bout of searching for a new job since 2020. The first time it took a year and a half and ten thousand applications, out of which there were only a handful of interviews, to get my "current" job, which is currently in limbo as of the past four months, so I've been searching for a new one in that time and again applying to dozens of jobs a day, so hundreds per month, thousands thus far... Anyway the point I'm building up to is that I just apply to anything that looks vaguely like I might possibly be able to do it and then rely on them to decide if they think I look like I might, but often times, and this is on online job application platforms, something is listed not just as a skill that you should have for this position but a REQUIREMENT that you MUST have for this position, like if I try to apply the platform itself will stop me and say "hey you don't have this skill listed, probably don't apply, here are some other jobs instead…" and I COULD click though that but it really really seems like they don't want you to, like this is something to stop even neurotypical people. My understanding is that every single one of these jobs has literally hundreds of applicants within hours of posting it so why they fuck would they give a second look at someone who isn't absolutely the perfect fit.

Euugh I just don’t get why employer’s literally value lying. For some reason they want you to lie and they are very aware that everyone “showing off” is just lying and exaggerating and for some reason they want those qualities and value them higher than honesty… Corporate employers are so weird. Also majorly relate to the cooking meme, I didn’t realise that was a common experience of austism xD but makes sense… Very much relate to the future plan ideas too. I always feel like I’m so behind on my creative projects and can never get through all my ideas.

[@PaulaRoederer]

I convince myself that no one likes me all the time. I like you, Meg. You're awesome.

[@s4n1tydemo]

2:57 i think this is the UK?! because that looks like it says Southwestern Railway + looks like one of their rolling stock!

[@Alexus_69]

[@jarmoliebrand2005]

Papo mentioned at the start! We have a big Papo/Schleich collection at home. Schleich especially. So many animals. Couple of dinosaurs. Also quite a few knights and fantasy creatures like griffins and dragons.
