The Way Most Autism Literature Describes "literal Interpretation" Is Often Not At All Similar To How

The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.

In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.

But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.

"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?

"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.

Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?

It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.

Aroace Experiences We Don't Talk About Enough (Infographic)

(If you're interested in a blog where aspecs can talk about experiences like this, I've since made an aspec venting space!)

Aroace Experiences We Don't Talk About Enough
"I wish I could feel romantic/sexual attraction, I want that experience"
"My allo friends pay less attention to me when they're dating someone"
"I want to see if I'd like romance/sex but I feel like I'd be using people if I tried and didn't like it, or that people wouldn't want to try dating if they knew I was aroace"
"I want to talk about aroace loneliness in therapy, but they might think something's wrong with me"
"I want a QPR in real life but don't know any aroace people"
"I still mourn the experiences I thought I'd have in life that I don't want now"
"I want it in theory but not in practice, I long for romance even though I don't like it"
"Part of me still hopes that I'll fall for somebody later in life"
"Marriage is a life milestone in my culture/religion that I feel excluded from"
"I enjoy romance/sex but can never find people who are okay with me not feeling the attraction"
"I'm afraid of living alone forever"
"I'm repulsed and can't find friends who don't always talk about sex/romance"
Aroace: Aromantic Asexual - feeling little to no romantic and sexual attraction

Imagine your f/o gently running their finger along your jaw, cheeks, or chin in a circular motion, soothing you with their soft touch and loving words. "It's gonna be okay. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but you have me, alright? I'll support you, I'll do whatever it takes. And we'll get through it together, you and me. You'll never be alone again, I promise. Not as long as I'm here. It's all gonna be okay."

How do you do color study TwT?

So when I did color study what I focused on the most was color theory. Color theory is an amazing thing that’ll help your art reach the next level even if you don’t particularly enjoy shading. This playlist has some great resources and this video is a pretty good and simple start. This video on lighting is super helpful as well.

You are doing art, not homework. There are no rules restricting you so open the canvas and try meshing together colors you don’t usually use. Don’t focus on making it look perfect. Try new things, see if you like using gradient maps or if you prefer adding in the colors yourself. Which colors look good together? Which ones do you like better? Play around to you liking
