I would probably fall in love if I got to hear a 30 minute, passionate info dump on a date.
Definitely. I'd totally fall in love. With coelacanths
I coelacant live without you babes
honestly, neurodiverse people shouldn't date neurotypicals.
neurotypicals are too weird.
It's true. They think we're boring, we think they're boring. I remember dating a definitely NT person and was baffled that they never wanted to do deep dives on any topics with me.
Who wouldn't want to spend all weekend with their partner learning about the history of weaving and how various textile related machinery works, then cap it off by marathon playing Loom in robes?! Weirdos.
my NT ex said that me talking about my interest is abuse, yet she has no trouble abusing me till suicide.
If I may be blunt, I don't think that's because your ex is NT. It sounds like your ex is just an abusive asshole. I'm sorry you had to deal with their abuse.
honestly, I'm sorry for traumadumping, took some gummies and I'm not really me.
from now on I'll aim to date neurodiverse people instead, we are more fun anyways.
No apology necessary, I didn't even think of it as trauma dumping. Sometimes things just come up and I think that's okay.
Enjoy your gummies!

I can offer little better advice. Similarly, find someone whose baggage complements yours, so you can have a matching set.
I looked everywhere in my house, couldn't find anyone, not even under the couch
Idk if I'm ND or not because I can't just info dump for 30 min. I'm just a boring guy that has a lot of interests but not enough knowledge in one specific subject about anything, I need some back and forth to keep conversation alive.
This is why I can't date people who talk too much. They go on a 20 minute monologue and after I try several times to add input, and then they keep going, I get frustrated that I couldn't say anything, and now the topic is changing so I'll come off looking like I wasn't listening to the whole thing so now I'm falling behind on what they're talking, I catch up and find something relevant to say if they ever stop talking, but they don't, so I lose interest and start thinking about something else. But after my train of thought hits a few stops and they're still fucking talking and then I'm internally screaming at them to SHUT THE FUCK UP! And I Invision either my sudden brutal death or theirs.
Excuse me, neurotypicals aren't weird enough. Normal is boring.
Their loss. Nothing sexier than someone being passionate about their interests. I’ll listen to someone tell me about their collection of severed heads if they’ve got passion for it
Same, passion is sexy
"aren't you going to open your present?"
"If it's a severed head I'm going to be seriously upset."
I mean, if it's a sufficiently cool severed head....
That was a Wayne's world reference.
If that was me, i'd text her right after the date asking to subscribe to fish facts.
what's a coelecanth?
Based on the replies you've gotten so far I suspect this may be a joke I'm not getting, but I'm choosing to react as if it's a genuine question anyway.
A coelacanth is a super old fish that everyone thought was extinct, and then one day we just happened to find them alive! They're a "living fossil" animal in that they haven't changed much in a very long time and give us a window into the past. Here's a picture I stole:
Too many fins. Don't like it because it didn't evolve into something on land. Selfish jerks.
Understandable, I only know what they are from Animal Crossing.
It's a fish you can only catch while it's raining.
it’s the single hole used for both shitting and sexual reproduction
oof, I can feel the secondhand embarassment
Tell us tomorrow
By "fish people" do you mean like Deep Ones?
I’d spend 30 min back arguing on the correct pronouncing of qualiacontiks
Hang on, are special interests a mating display behavior???
There was a study indicating it was a common flirting tactic for some neurodiverse people and it kinda went viral.
I’m pretty sure my son would have been into this
I fell in love just reading that. Tell me more about the coelacanth!
If this happened to me I'd probably propose right there on the spot.
mary me mommy
Should have gone with Babirussas
I love coelacanths 🤤
Coela can ths ?
Too specific. Needed at least a quick refresher on all ocean life first. Gotta let them get warmed up before you hit them with the good stuff.
