~Hit Me With Your Best Shot~

My teacher doesn't believe that school can affect anyone negatively.

Reblog if you have EVER been affected negatively in ANY way by school so I can show this to my teacher.

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.

the blog killing axolotl is one of my favorite things that has ever happened on this website because talking about it afterwards sounds like an inside joke or perhaps a prank. like always be on the lookout for the blog killing axolotl. he can kill your blog. it happened to me once trust me.

sometimes i think about the very odd internet presence over the last 7 years on this blog, and i almost want to apologize for any whiplash this username has given you. but honestly. it’s a little funny

welcome to Tumblr. We got glass panes

You know it's kinda funny how I went from using r/CuratedTumblr, a subreddit dedicated to showing "Tumblr's Greatest Hits" essentially, to going to ACTUAL Tumblr and now I'm seeing screenshots from Reddit here and there. It's like I crawled through a window and am now looking at it from the other side.

not if I win first!

This is great. I’m going to Win at Boop, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve.
