People used to tell me that I reminded them of Sheldon from tbbt as though that was a compliment.

I get that often on my tours. I hate it every time and it's increasingly difficult to hide it.

pretty soon people on the spectrum are going to realize what the rest of us know: we're all cunts. bastards. shitbags and utter ass pimples of humanity. we're all shite and the ones that get loved are the rare fraction of the 1% of humanity, and they're rarely worth it either.

Personally I'd rather avoid people entirely.

Sorry to break it to you, bud. You're likely on the spectrum. 👊

People hated Wednesday? What?

[–] FleetingTit@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

No, they obsess over the character, which means liking it more than is healthy, I think.

Wait you think Wednesday is supposed to be neuro fucking divergent? The Addams family are macabre. They enjoy inflicting pain on themselves and others. They're obviously creepy and quirky. They're bizarre. They're morbid. They're antiheroes, maybe. They could even be argued to be sociopathic, sadistic, cruel, or just mean. But that's their entire shtick, you absolute massive twat. They're an antithesis of a typically-portrayed family, the one with the white picket fence and the golden lab. What they are not, nor has anyone involved with their creation ever claimed they were, is neurodivergent.

But sure, just randomly make something unrelated to you completely about you, cause that screams neurodivergent, not narcissism.

Technically psychopathy is a form of neurodivergentcy
