Ages come and go but her life goes on the same... she lives to see the sun and feel the wind and drink the rain... her colours change to mark the passing of the days no earthly sight can match the beauty she displays and when I die I want her lying by my side!!!!!!
POV: It's midnight and you just got off a long call with your long-distance partner after playing Minecraft for three hours and having deep conversations about how life has affected us for another two and you're both emotionally exhausted but you still say small I love you's and disconnect, and now you're sitting on the floor of your living room eating a bag of crotons watching your dad make cars in a video game and you're a little sad that you can't talk to your partner until tomorrow evening but at least you've been blessed enough just to have that, so you're happy.
i feel like the meaning of irony is more lost between different generations than between autistics and allistics. like i sometimes will not get a general ironic comment someone made which i should understand, but it’s so far and between (not that i interact much) that i can count it on my fingers every month (and it’s rare enough to make me notice, but i know it’s because i’m autistic and my head is somewhere else at the moment someone makes an ironic remark).
but it’s more common for baby boomers to not catch gen z irony than for us autistic zoomers to not catch irony inside our own generational culture (whatever it is). i think it’s a bit like masking or learning allistic communication, it’s something we know how to do because we spend a lot of time perfecting it, and sometimes it just starts occurring naturally to us, like learning a new language (though we “speak” it in a different way, which is why the result of learning to mask might be catching on even more social cues than allistics normally do).
i don’t know. just something i realized. gen z is naturally more ironic so does not understanding irony even apply to autistic diagnosis anymore? being a different neurotype, i think autism and its traits manifest in different ways across cultures and times, and it’s just that white male boomer/gen x autism was observed first, so it’s what we thought it was at first.
(examples of what i struggle with include “scripted” communication and what it means, but i wouldn’t list irony among the things i specifically struggle with because i am autistic. i know i might occasionally not get irony because i’m autistic, but it’s just not a trait, it’s due to something else. though you know maybe and just maybe gen z doesn’t use irony as part of scripted communication but rather in its true, sincere form, to actually express ourselves, and it’s just that autistic boomers/gen x/gen y? can’t understand communication to convey something else, as it’s a trait of autism, not intrinsically irony, and irony is one of the tools boomers and older generations use for social cues and nothing else, so they don’t actually get irony outside of social cues. worth to note that gen z is post-ironic so yeah i don’t know how any of this is relevant to my main point follow for more ritalin takes)
being on the little niche of pinterest i’m currently on is wild because i keep seeing all these memes from fellow aros who want a qpr. and i’m here, having been in a loving qpr for over a year now, and just. feeling like an aro parent to these baby internet aros. i feel like a queer dad sitting back with my partner drinking cocoa and watching it all
