Constructive euphemisms?

This looks like a really interesting post, but I've read it twice and still can't get a grasp on what it's about. That said, today has been a very stressful day so perhaps my brain isn't taking in information properly.

One might sum it up as "looking for satisfactory personal strategies to counteract the current indifference of the modern-day majority to ANY minority issue". If you are struggling to understand my muddled reasoning, then I guess that it might be better to just start again from that summary, and then perhaps respond in any way that you personally find worthwhile. (And that would include "pass".) But obviously, pick a good day for it, and I will pick a good day to respond, if a response seems appropriate. ;-) 

I'm looking for ways to ensure that I too am at least sometimes heard. In my current circumstances, if I make any attempt to communicate the essence of my fairly long and solitary life, that communication goes no where. In effect, most listeners (including family) just reach for the OFF switch. So our daily communication never really goes much further than "Pass the sauce please". The obvious NT (and perhaps even ND) conclusion to this very long-term communication breakdown is that I am probably way past my sell-by date. (My own conclusion too.) However, I am not the easiest person to just give up on a complete life's experience. So here I am looking for a few new and amusing ways to elicit some sort of constructive response. But the main thing here is that solemnity is not really required.

I tend to talk in euphemisms because I have long found that almost no one is really in favour of a more direct delivery. Life is a performance art, I suppose, and I'm not the greatest stand-up comedian. I guess that is why I refer to myself as 'slow'. I find it works much more satisfactorily than the more usual labels. But a few other alternative explanations would undoubtedly help my schtick. Well, I have a couple more already. That's good!

I think I've got it, thank you. Yes, it does irritate me when people make that remark. But  it has nothing to do with the surface meaning of the words, but everything to do with their sub-text.

Everyone's a little bit autistic. (I have some of these traits myself or ones similar to them. And I know lots of other people who have them too. We're only just beginning to understand Autism and I wouldn't be surprised if one day it comes out that it's more common a condition that we assumed). 

Everyone's a little bit autistic. (Stop making excuses, you lazy malingerer. We all have problems and we all need support so there's no reason why you should be getting any special treatment.) 

Well, it tends to be more 'militarised' here; although that is not such a huge difference, given that people in uniforms usually either run a business simultaneous with their service, or as a follow-up. And we are talking about large organisations.

However, perhaps we should now be getting back a bit to the thorny issue of how best to declare, or not declare, one's issues/disorders/conditions; especially as we are perhaps looking into means by which some form of subversion of NT mores can take place. It's not that I necessarily feel that I need to resort to drastic measures, but I do believe a very different approach is necessary.

We're all subject to surveillance now, Senor. Even the suspicion that one has gone off-message from the authorised global narrative is proof enough of the crime of 'disinformation'.

Each and everyone of us is now only one comment, one opinion, or one website hit away from being denounced as dangerous extremists—undesirable elements—who must be punished socially, economically and psychologically.

Because we now live in privatised societies controlled by Corporations, the only freedom any of us still enjoy is the “freedom" to consume.

She probably believes that if we 'slow-processing' people have any so-called common sense left, that we should ditch any notion that we might be autistic at the point at which we become adults. Childhood autism is almost considered cute in this culture; whereas adulthood autism is no longer admissible when it might lead to 'face'-losing comparisons between the behaviour of ordinary citizens and the behaviour of certain higher status individuals.  So adult indulgence of youngsters tends to end at about 18, when future adults either need to shape up, ship out or sit pretty - entirely dependent on parents or rellies.

The above is all deliberately vague. There are some volunteer ultra-nationalist nerds, in my locale, who attempt to read outgoing posts, looking for the supposed 5th column. Their English is usually not so good. But that's a two-edged sword! It can mean they either get it dangerously right when there is some sort of critique involved, or they can dangerously misunderstand even positive comments. But of course, that doesn't apply to anyone who doesn't live here; so outsider comments are not necessarily a problem.  My guess is they mostly skip reading long posts anyway; or just search for keywords. Blocking of sites abroad is not unknown. I deliberately avoid overtly political comments; and take no local side.

Don't worry, Senor. I'm not good at reading facial expressions, but I've developed 'spidey senses' when it comes to capturing the good or bad vibes that someone is transmitting to me (beyond their mere words). I'm sorry to hear that about hour wife. Why does she deny autism in adults? Does she think it resolves itself during maturation? I'm the same, I'm only bitten once, never twice. 

No sarcasm intended here, I paranoically hasten to add! Yes, familar ground. They might fool me once or twice, and I'll let them get away with it. Thereafter they won't find much comfort in talking to thin air. That, of course, is anti-social. But hell, I enjoy it that way, anyway. ... Most of the time. My partner is probably an even more extreme version of that reproach. That suggests to me that she might also be somewhere on the aloof scale. Like persons attract and all that jazz. But as she is also totally committed to completely denying adulthood autism, it is highly likely we will continue to create sparks until demise do us part. We're well-suited.

  I've heard it both ways. In the former, it was probably fairly well intended. But as the latter takes almost an opposite stance with the same words, the former is probably ill-advised if the speaker wishes to demonstrate some degree of solidarity. So best avoided altogether, perhaps. Now, how can we make some sort of euphemised admission to try & avoid eliciting it either way. I'm still sticking with either 'slow' or 'some neural damage', at the moment.
