Seriously, what are you supposed to say?
I’m not autistic and I don’t know either. So I became a dad now I can literally talk shit (he has diarrhea 😱) for hours on end.
You joke but it did make my social life a lot easier. You keep meeting other parents (at doctors, community organized activities, for playdates and so on) and instantly have something to talk about. Oh mine has the shits, mine won’t latch, ours started rolling on his belly last week.
Then you start gifting and receiving gifts because yours grew out of his sleeping bag or the inlaws gave something absurd for your situation but someone else might find it useful and you develop actual adult friendships.
as soon as anyone asks me anything about myself I immediately forget literally everything and become dumber than a goldfish
When people ask me things like “What’s your favorite song” I’m like “uhhhhhh idk I don’t remember any songs” every time
It’s especially hard for me since my favorite anything changes. I don’t like being restrained to one favorite thing all the time. It really depends on the situation. For example, with music, it depends on my current situation and emotional disposition. Sometimes I really like a super sad song, and sometimes I like an exciting energetic song. Having long-term favorites is something I don’t understand.
