Hey, I saw your visual snow syndrome post and I thought I'd share a cool website where you can simulate what it looks like! You can adjust the size of the grain, the density, and the speed. And there are different images to choose from (great for night vs day comparison)

I read Of MSE-6 and Men a few days ago. I had to know if the infamous short story about Grand Moff Tarkin being gay with none other than TK-421 was real and whether or not it was canon. I walked away with the answer to only one of those questions. I'm absolutely reeling. It started out so silly, and then I was presented with such horrible information that's haunted me for the past week. The knowledge that it's not not canon that Wilhuff Tarkin is apparently a top. I'm not sure I needed to know that about this man in particular. But I do and it's cost me much more than the £3.99 I paid for the reading experience.
when I handed in my autism paperwork, I scheduled an appointment directly with my GP to go over my fully filled out and annotated paperwork, and go over the questions I'd made notes i didn't understand or needed clarified. I think colour coding was involved.
The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.
In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.
But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.
"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?
"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.
Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?
It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.
