WCDT Strips 3231 - 3235 (30th May to 3rd June 2016)

<< < (39/65) > >>

BenRG:
What I really noticed in this strip was Clinton, more than anything else. He's really coming across as an everyday nice guy who is trying to help without causing offense. I suspect that Brun is probably generally hard to read, so that makes it harder.

We also get a small insight into Brun: "I wouldn't have said it if it wasn't true." Something tells me that tact is something that she has to be told to use and that could lead to some interesting conversations!

Tova:
I think that after all the heat of the fire, she would have a stale sweaty smell also. Not to mention the usual 24-hours-without-a-shower odiferousness.

I did once collapse into bed after running that evening, without an intervening shower.

I'll just say that there's a reason I only did it once.

Is it cold in here?:
Welcome, new people and your insights!

True - Though I have to admit that I am curious as to how much water the 'I have a routine'-thingy holds in reality, should the resident experts wish to share.

Depends. Really depends on the person. Autistic people are as different as non-autistic ones. What we share is that we like routine, it gives safety.
How we deal with interruptions of this routine can differ between "unhappy but still more or less functional" and "day's over, let's hide in the bed"

I'm lucky, I'm relatively good at dealing with this. Emphasis on "relatively". A few weeks back my bus was late, I missed my next bus, and was 30 min late at work. It took another 30 min until I was able to focus on work.. luckily, my superiors are understanding.

I'm more and more feeling like she's like me. I'm living in a strange world full of strange people (no offense, but you non-autistic people often do really confusing things..) , meeting another autist is like "hey. You. You are normal! You make sense".
I was told that there are several diagnoses with similar behavior, I was tested for them during my diagnosis. I also know that you have to look into childhood behavior to diagnose autism. So I won't say that she is definitely autistic. But I can relate to her, which is a rare thing with non-autistic people.

And yes, I, too, wouldn't say I need a shower unless it's true. The last speech bubble is something I have said in the past.

Maybe it was Brun's choice.  And there really aren't too many options.  Goodwill doesn't have the best reputation too.
