Why is Smart Shuffle even an option? If I wanted to listen to songs that aren't on my playlist I'd listen to songs that aren't on my playlist. Who gave you the right to come into my nice, organized, perfectly curated playlists and fill it with random crap?

I gotta be honest, I don't understand why any video game would ever include licensed music. What is the benefit? Why wouldn't you just make new original songs for the game?

"Oh that's expensive" SO IS PAYING A LICENSE FOR A RL POP SONG?? And it's a much better longterm investment since you can sell an OST that way, the license won't ever expire and impact your ability to rerelease the game, it doesn't negatively impact streamers who are basically your marketing. Why use licensed music instead of original songs?

Idk if this applies to neurotypicals as well or even other autistics but I think I figured out why I hate talking on the phone:

I can’t multitask and am understimulated.

An in-person conversation demands you pay attention to where someone is in the room, their expressions and body language, even if you’re distracted while talking to them *your* body language can make it clear that you’re still listening.

Text, on the other hand, does not need an immediate real-time response so I can be doing 3 different things and not have to worry about mishearing or not hearing something someone says because it’s in text right there.

But a phone conversation? I have no one to look at and have no expressions and body language to rely on for the “I’m listening I promise” cues, and I can’t see what they’re saying so it’s really easy to miss words unless I’m solely focused on the phone conversation. Which means I can’t do anything else that requires split focus and have to stop everything else that I’m doing to devote entirely to this call.

Text has its own problems lacking tone and inflection, but in terms of “why I hate phone calls” this awkward middle ground of focus is like an itch I can’t scratch.

Just realized I can make my own posts... I'm coming here from Pinterest, and I'm used to just reading stuff, but I can actually... you know, say things.

It's so nice being on tumblr because you don't even have to make your own post but people would still follow you anyways if you're good at rebloging posts they like

I LOVE being autistic and trying to communicate because every time it’s
