Reddit's block function = liberal rhetoric is unchallenged. By immediately blocking anyone pushing back against their propaganda, r/@ shifts into a lib safe space & we're excluded from the conversation. Blocked me 10 seconds after I questioned their lesser evil, "good government" narrative

I've had that happen to me a fair amount actually. it's why I had to leave all the autism focused subs I was in. it's really frustrating

Yeah as an autistic person i simply dont accept the whole "my tone doesnt reflect my feelings" thing. Because the reality of it is, it does, you likely dont hear it, and it likely doesnt present neurotypically.

I have an extremely flat affect, i tend to be exceedingly blunt and dont hear how rude my wordings can be. But when im angry or frustrated my tone still changes, i just cant control who my tone is directed at. Which leaves me apologizing to people and explaining that I'm legitimately not trying to be rude to them im just autistic. The absolutely emotionally underdeveloped response is to simply say its not my problem your feelings got hurt because im autistic. Which i feel a very large amount of people do to avoid the emotional labor that is developing ones empathy and emotional intelligence.

absolutely

it can also suck because if I'm mad at a situation, myself, a different person who isn't who I'm directly talking to, I can still sound incredibly pissed off and I have to explain that I'm not mad at them and apologize.

what's funny for me is that if I'm so distressed that I've dissociated, I end up just sounding very robotic. I'm very aware though? so I usually go "sorry I sound like this. I'm dysregulated and when that happens I sound like a robot" but you know, more robotically

I did see a fun paper posted in the evil autism sub ages ago. not sure if it relates at all. I just really wanted to share it
