I wouldn’t restrict this to autism, but I would apply it to many that came after the boomer generation whom tends to lack empathy for a variety of reasons (lead exposure, religion, and platitudes of other reasons…)
Is this an autism thing?
I would think it’s a pretty standard thing. And even if it isn’t, the quote overestimates self awareness.
I would think it’s a pretty standard thing.
It is in Canada at least. I always told immigrants that once they start apologising to the couch when they walk into it they’d fully naturalised.
Any kid who watched Beauty and the Beast would start talking to their household objects.
Or Brave Little Toaster.
I’ve always felt different in a subtle way. I had to nag in order to get tested for autism. The result? Obviously and clearly autistic.
Humans will pack bond with anything.
And will try to fuck anything with a hole, at least once.
I blame The Brave Little Toaster
I have amassed over the past few years a decent collection of vintage game consoles and games, and I feel guilty I barely have time to play any of them. They feel like pets to me and I’m neglecting them.
