Something I have trouble with as an autistic woman is knowing whether or not I'm friends with someone unless I ask them and even then I question it
For example a teacher told us that we could work with friends for an assignment and I had to ask someone I considered a friend if we were friends before I asked him to work with me on the project
Apparently for my history degree I'll have to write a 40 page thesis for my senior project and although I'm more than a few years away from having to do that assignment I'm already thinking about ideas for the thesis
My anxiety is back in full swing
I think “Daily Jekyll and Hyde” as redundant as it may be plotwise - is a hilarious concept. Imagine Utterson sending you emails like “My good friend Dr.Jekyll seems very nervous lately. I hope he doesn’t get blackmailed by that horrible Hyde chap we met the other day. Why would he associate with such a scoundrel!” And it goes like that with increasingly obvious hints up until he breaks into his study with Poole and the last part is just a Dr.Jekyll youtuber apology
I do not understand the term autismgender
"Anakin wouldn't do that"
"He was the greatest Jedi ever how would he turn to the dark side"
"There's still hope in him"
"There's still good in him"
Star wars makes a point of establishing how despite genocide and the conquering of worlds Anakin can still somehow be a good person. Yet what I find fascinating from a feminist perspective is these are very similar words to how women's abusers are excused. Even Padme's last words being that Anakin has good in him is so eerily similar to how abused women go back to their husbands out of the misguided beliefs that the abuse is not who their partner truly is.
Anakin Skywalker is the epitome of how men can do the most heinous of deeds and find redemption because society won't stop looking for the good in them

Autism sucks. I have shitty organizational and math skills and now my future at the college I’ve been accepted to is in danger of being rescinded since I got a D+ in math. Fuck
Not even religious but praying to God and my deceased Grandmother as we speak
