I get that spirits is a high-value, high-theft-risk aisle, so it needs a lot of monitoring. It just felt like I was being singled out for some reason.Think that's a new-ish thing. Noticed the security guard at our's standing guard at the bottom of the aisle the other day. Must be a xmas thing with all the people down there in this period. Or maybe you just looked like a right old thief
Some people just discriminate against others for being different to them, although I don't know if this was the case in this situation.
Other than the headphones, I don't think there was anything visibly different about me compared to the other customers in the shop. It didn't help much either that there were people right in front of the bit I wanted to look at (why does this always happen?), so maybe it's because I was hovering around in the aisle or something. I dunno.
Does anyone else see asking strangers math questions a weird thing to do? Reminds me of the people who over enthusiastically ask me about what I do for work...
). Tried something different over the past couple of weeks, despite my slight nervousness at not having done it for several years. Was actually nowhere near as bad as I remember it. Having said that, I'm kinda happy to have gone back to normal with this thing. Maybe I'm better at coping with certain kinds of change than I like to think I am, especially when it's something over which I have a certain degree of control.
Well now you've really sent my imagination into overdrive!Double-post from me (sorry
Eh, it's nothing overly important, to be fair.

I don't actually think it's change itself that many autistics struggle with (at least not the the extent it at first seems) it's change beyond your own control that isDouble-post from me (sorry
Yeah, I think you're right. If there's any change beyond our control, then it's important that we're given as much notice as we possibly can so we can adjust to the new whatever.
It is definitely not. My autism is only moderate but I love alternate histories and I'm sure that many non-autistics like them as well.Bit of a random thing to add here but I do wonder if me writing up alternate history can be considered to be a little bit autistic much? I know this sounds weird to say but writing up what I do is something of an outlet to let out my frustrations which is helpful but yet on the other hand it can be looked on as something very autistic even for other autistic folk so I do find what I do personally a little off to some or am I just overthinking it as much?

If it's not harmful then alls good, I say this knowing autistics who have some very niche interests.Bit of a random thing to add here but I do wonder if me writing up alternate history can be considered to be a little bit autistic much?

Yeah, I meant to say niche. I know what I do won't get all the attention compared to other work I do on the side that actually has an audience which are football related timelines which have more appeal than one on some theme park in Staffordshire.
