I'm thinking of revealing to my wife that I am autistic. Not sure if she'll believe me, so I've begun to compile a list of my autistic traits, and will categorize them (physiological responses, emotional, etc.), then realizing.. this list, itself, is a trait!

Sometimes life feels like when you are in a plane and it's rapidly changing altitude. Your head feels increasingly intolerable pressure, you want to scream, and what's worse is that there is NO escape.

Hey, TSN, ok, Notre Dame won the Sugar Bowl, but can you now proceed to the scheduled #PWHL game? Or is this needless post-game chit-chat required to fulfill some concratual obligations?? Who gives a fuck. Move to the game, damnit.

Do repeated rejections and postponements into an undetermined future induce their own form of trauma? Because I'm feeling it.

For me the internet used to be like one of those old market towns with tons of side streets bursting with interesting shops and cool architecture. Now it's just a single shit-filled high street packed to the gills with bland chain stores and identical corporate glass frontages.

I'm losing my mind here bored away from home. Any recommendations for an easy online game I can play that won't stress me out?

What I want for Christmas: to enter a monastery, stay there for the entirety of the "holidays," do NOTHING except pray, wash floors, laundry, cook, serve, pray.. repeat, all the while remain in SILENCE! That's all I want.

Sounds that drive me crazy: 1) crinkling of plastic wrappers; 2) loud slurping through straws; 3) chewing, but only from some people. #misophonia

Inside my head is non-stop competing voices, like tuning a radio. Often the voices don't complete any sentences. It's just thoughts and ideas scrambling about my consciousness. At night, when I try to sleep, those voices, those inside sounds, keep me up. I often resort to meds to calm me down. 1/2
