Just a place for anyone to be silly, playful and whimsical.
Urghh. I hope they're fired, P.
Bah humbugs are also welcome
I'm laughed out and left out. I can spend a day not being spoken to by one the staff. Just weird little me.
This place just seems to be silly, playful and whimsical. If you want to do that sort of thing then I suggest you all go and start a thread for that purpose and leave us serious people to get on with doing serious things in serious ways. Bah humbug !
I thought it was really funny, I've shared it with 2 people.
I remember 1 joke, that's really really long. By the time I finish laughing I've already forgotten the joke.
I know a lot of jokes, mostly Jewish ones, but I'm really bad at telling them. I dream of putting together a Jewish joke book that analyses the jokes to say something meaningful about Jewish culture or the Jewish mindset, but that would probably kill the humour.
I was told that my thought processes and coping mechanisms strongly indicated autism. That's why I got assessed. Honestly, how can you be compared to an autistic child, that's ludicrous. And we become masters of masking. It's just unfortunate the damage it does as a consequence.
I’m the same in that I can never remember them, the joke I posted above, I actually posted that on my fb timeline a long time ago and no one responded ha. I thought it was funny when I saw it.
Roy said: I was too quiet and kept my head down.
That was me too, at home and at school. My sister also took up my parents' attention (for different reasons).
Completely agree.
Im the weird one at work, I get laughed at.
It was just the, you don’t act like an autistic child, no I’m 54 and had to mask the hell out of it. My sister was quite unwell as a child and often in hospital, most of my parents time was rightly given to her, I just slipped through the net. I was too quiet and kept my head down.
Working with adults anywhere is the hard part!
I'm terribly amused by that. Jokes always seem a kind of surprising cleverness to me.
That joke I get!
Haha
What did she say?
I found out I was autistic not long after I was promoted to SENCO, that really messed with my head. I had no idea I could possibly be autistic. I just loved the bond I made with autistic children and how we communicated with each other.
Oh, that must be difficult for you if their attitudes aren't good.
I must have heard thousands but can never retain them. I can maybe think of about five, some of them from when I was a child.
How does a three legged horse sound when running?
Clippity.
That’s one of them.
No autistic adults, besides me.
That can be an awkward one. My mother spent a lifetime teaching profoundly challenged autistic children in a special school. Masked but struggling me was a total blind spot by comparison. And the contrast is apt to make one feel less eligible to make a claim ofn being autistic… until a total breakdown or three brings one to an assessor’s door..
