    I don’t struggle with autism, society does.

    So long as i’m allowed to do what i want i can use coping mechanisms and you’ll barely notice my autism, i’ll just look like a “normal” but eccentric guy with weirdly specific preferences. But if you prevent me from taking care of myself i’ll start behaving stereotypically autisticly, because i’m feeling really fucking uncomfortable.

    I think this is a big part of why so many people with autism nowadays seem “normal”, because we’ve been able to figure out how we need to take care of ourselves and our environments largely allow us to do so.
    If we started tying people to chairs and tazing them then yeah no fucking shit they’d start screeching and stop being able to talk, what a fucking piece of quantum physics that is to figure out…

    i felt like this too but after buying a pair of cheapo “”““true wireless””“” noise cancelling earbuds, it’s honestly fine.
    I’d prefer having an aux jack, but if i really need it i have a usb-c dongle which is also honestly fine.

    the one thing i cannot accept is airpods specifically, my cheapo buds cost 40 bucks and i cannot possibly imagine what value add there’d be above 80 bucks.

    as a swede what pains me isn’t that anglos pronounce it differently, it’s that they seem to insist on making shit up rather than just going with the closest approximation in their dialect.
    Listening to americans trying to read swedish gives me vertigo, they somehow make it sound more like slovenian or something!

    Tony Irving is an immigrant known for his egregious accent, which is much closer to what i’d expect from english natives if they’d stop making up sounds:
