Some of the most compelling autism writing ever. The seduction of thinking you can solve things like this...

2024-06-06 17:17:27 +0000 UTCJoyce is talking out of her ass muffled through the foot in her mouth. She is also not wrong.

2024-06-06 10:56:53 +0000 UTCDisclaimer that my autism is not the same as Dina's autism, but personally as an autistic woman, I tend to prefer "the phrasing that clearly & succinctly states the truth" to "the phrasing that's deemed to be 'socially correct'". I do wonder if Dina would have the same preference... but with Joyce's propensity to put her foot in her mouth while trying to do the exact opposite, we may never know.

2024-06-06 05:36:12 +0000 UTCThat's exactly how I would have phrased it, and then realized later as "Dina isn't likely to pass as 21." would have been a better way to phrase it. Maybe still not the socially *correct* choice, but it *is* the truth.
