I assume, like colourblindness demonstrations work for me, that if you go to the autism reality experience while autistic you just can't see the difference.

But I really want to believe that it allows you to see into hyperreality or something.

The thinking behind it is that enough people will continue to buy the product but at higher prices to make up for any lost sales. McDonald's has openly abandoned the "value" customer for the same reason. People are like "McDonald's, you're not the cheap go-to anymore!" and they go yeah, we know, and it's working out just fine for us.

"Oh yeah?! Well, surge THIS" [slaps a beret down onto the teenager's head]

I've thought about this. The best way to do an Autism Reality Experience is to have people walk into what looks like a completely normal social environment, but what they're supposed to be doing is both completely different from what they expect, and never explained.

Or you task them with something very normal and mundane in a social setting but every other person there is an actor intent on making them feel like everything they say is never quite the right thing.

it'd be hosed up if gamemaster anthony was like... a dedicated father, maybe looking after elderly parents, keeping in touch with his few old friends, and with all that and work he just kinda grew out of games. like on his birthday he's working, stops at the hardware store for a big washer to re-fix the cat's scratching post to the base, impulse buys a tiger milk bar, and he spends some time with his now nearly grown children who have grudgingly made him a single layer cake with one candle - they won't eat it cause they're dairy-free - but he knows this time before they move out is precious, so when he passes the entertainment unit, the one he hasn't kept up to date this generation because he's trying to help with college funds, he doesn't even feel regret that he's not partying with all those characters from his past. because his present, while it may seem dull from outside, is richer to him than consuming media properties now. that would be hosed up

sorry

They walk into a restaurant, but it's not clear if there's assigned tables or how to order, there isn't a menu, and if you try to ask for any help everyone treats it like the dumbest question you could ask and doesn't give a helpful answer.

Someone, hire me, this'll be great.

it'd be nice if gamemaster anthony was like... a dedicated father, maybe looking after elderly parents, keeping in touch with his few old friends, and still plays games sometimes. like on his birthday he's working, stops at the hardware store for a big washer to re-fix the cat's scratching post to the base, impulse buys a tiger milk bar, and goes home to his husband and two adopted kids, who have baked him a cake that looks like the faceship from Galaxy 2 and he loves it and them and afterwards they play their traditional birthday Among Us game and he feels blessed to be part of their lives where he can share his passion for every character from every game, comic, cartoon, TV show, movie, and book reality with them and they accept it sometimes but also think he's super embarrassing because that's how dads be

sorry

No you're wrong. Nihilism is boring and radical positivity is superior.
