Autistic “go 30 days without apologizing for being autistic” challenge

Difficulty: impossible

Comments

I often interpret "I'm Just Your Problem" as an Autistic anthem ...

🎵 Sorry I'm not made of sugar 🎵
🎵 and I'm not sweet enough for you 🎵

Damn you caught me, it’s 9 a.m. and I already apologized

medusaswink.bsky.social•6 days ago

Lol

I don’t think I ever apologize anymore. I just explain. Then again, I’m not exactly out and about in the world day in and day out.

medusaswink.bsky.social•7 days ago

How do you explain without it being an apology? I seem unable to do that.

thelaststraw.bsky.social•7 days ago

I apologized for reading this

bro-ken.bsky.social•7 days ago

I have already failed

medusaswink.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’ve tried this several times, never made it once.

medusaswink.bsky.social•7 days ago

YET, Ken, yet.

We will drag each other kicking and screaming (but not apologizing) through this some day. Long term friendship goal imo

bro-ken.bsky.social•7 days ago

Ok! I will sit in your vicinity until you get the big burly Saints Linebackers to usher me out of the room 😧

medusaswink.bsky.social•7 days ago

Nonsense. My overly-enthusiastic giant puppy will make you want to leave long before that.

bro-ken.bsky.social•7 days ago

Nope, I welcome your pupper 🐶

conductress.bsky.social•7 days ago

Wait, when did you start?

bro-ken.bsky.social•7 days ago

See my profile 🙄

Ken needs help seeng himself through our eyes. He is much more lovable than his current situation apparently reflects to him.

Group i-hug 🤗 🫂

conductress.bsky.social•7 days ago

I don't know if you saw his very thoughtful thread that followed from something I posted earlier today, but I am so appreciative of his introspection and care and kindness. I'm grateful for the move to Bluesky because I've gotten to meet him, and you, and so many others! 💜🫂

bro-ken.bsky.social•7 days ago

I gladly accept hugs 🫂

pixelfish.bsky.social•7 days ago

Same.

moses-x.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yeah, not happening. “Sorry…”

mattclay.bsky.social•7 days ago

OK, I'll do it. Sorry, I meant I will do it.

Damn.

medusaswink.bsky.social•7 days ago

😂

mattclay.bsky.social•7 days ago

Nobody's beating that..

medusaswink.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’m sorry i laughed! Are you mad at me??

mattclay.bsky.social•7 days ago

Me? Mad? You'll have to try much harder. I'm glad any time someone laughs at something I say. Thank you.

medusaswink.bsky.social•7 days ago

😉

One of our compatriots here asked me once to tell them if they ever made me mad so they could apologize, because they want to stay friends.

I said if you want to end a friendship with me, i require a notarized request, in writing and triplicate.

wallwin.bsky.social•6 days ago

what if i do 30 minutes?

medusaswink.bsky.social•6 days ago

You’d have me beat!

caycegarcia.bsky.social•7 days ago

The other difficult thing is not saying "I KNOW IT'S OKAY" in an irritated voice when they say "it's okay"

caycegarcia.bsky.social•7 days ago

maybe if I go 30 days without talking, which would be an interesting challenge on it's own

medusaswink.bsky.social•7 days ago

I feel like most of us are halfway to selective mutism anyways

caycegarcia.bsky.social•7 days ago

That's where most of my apologies come from, avoiding conversations with old people about my service dog lol "oh what a cute puppy, what's his name?"
Me: "mmmm, autistic can't talk"
