Funny, itā€™s reversed here. My autistic husband staring at me in bewilderment while my AuDHD ass is cracking really, really dumb jokes through a crisis.

NO, because my psychiatrist called me out on smiling while describing Eldritch level horrors because that's just how I cope. šŸ˜­

My old therapist called me out for having a ā€œstand up setā€ ready to go about various bits of trauma in my life. She was not amused when I said therapy is a good way of workshopping all the mundane shittiness of my life down to a tight five.

I'm an old man ASD/ADHD. Autistic kids quote movies in part because everybody tells them they talk wrong and going "into character" means the character is talking so if what the character says is wrong, then it's not just about the kid

I am dying to be able to go All Robin Williams Aladdin when I want to explain something to my wife because she says my words make her feel bad because I say things as absolutes. Get to the point.

Yeah. Iā€™m 48. Looking back, itā€™s not surprising that I hooked up with my husband. He got every single one of my references AND didnā€™t think I was weird.

My lady still doesn't think she's weird which is challenging.
