Sounds like a cute way to sidestep left-right confusion, but everyone involved needs to know the area already. Back in school I once gave (inner city) directions to a friend in cardinal directions, and it took ages for her to stop teasing me about it. In my mind everyone vaguely knew where north was, give or take 15 degrees.

I got that with my mother who I had to ask 4-5 times before I even begin to get actionable instructions out of, and then still got yelled at for doing what she told me to do or not doing what she told me not to do. I think it's more raging narcissism where they can't possibly imagine that everyone else isn't also aware of their exact thoughts and desires at all times. Except when they're lying.

HenryJLittlefinger posted:I don't understand why this is a post. Is it a joke or is it someone being dumb? The person posting screenshots of a tiktok on Twitter is making fun of it. There is a trope among some extremely online ADHD/autism/other communities that neurotypical people are basically NPCs with no internal monologue or personality. In this case, the woman is claiming that neurotypical people do not get earworms. She's also pathologizing having an earworm, a common thing that happens to pretty much everyone, and calling it "internal echolalia." Echolalia is the involuntary repetition of words in a meaningless way. Having a song stuck in your head is not echolalia.

My brother in law is named "stu" and I learned very early on in my nephew's life that an easy way to stir him up is to replace the lyric 'you' with his dad's name and now I do it out of habit even when he's not around

It's because your parents were hoping you were also paying attention and might have thought of a solution as well. This is the same at work - you should be thinking of what you could do to help with a problem, that way you already have a more limited set of self selected options to pick from when your asked to help.

My favourite is testicular trauma. Well no there's no line at all because "internal echolalia" is not a thing. Echolalia is specifically the speech behavior of repeating vocalizations made by another person. It is a symptom of autism, Tourette, ADHD, schizophrenia, etc. Repeating songs in your head, even long enough to replace the lyrics, is not a compulsive vocalization. If you were automatically, reflexively singing those songs out loud, then it would be echolalia. Your ability to remember a song and create parody lyrics is not pathological unless it's causing you distress, becoming a compulsion (e.g. "I cannot go to bed until I sing the testicular trauma song in my head"), or otherwise interfering with your ability to function. Then it would certainly fall under intrusive thoughts which can often take the form of violent/painful/sexual imagery and is a common symptom of OCD (although also a ton of other conditions as well).

My father wrote and published incredibly detailed manuals and SOPs so I had the opposite problem: he left me completely unprepared for how vague and unhelpful everyone else in my life would be when giving instructions.

As someone with an advanced degree focused on how people learn, this is the way very very stupid people try to get others to learn. It's more about making yourself feel smart than it is transferring knowledge.

Me and my best friend growing up both mapped out the city we grew up in by basically learning all of the major north/south and east/west streets as a base and then filling in all smaller ones around them. So we'd give directions to each other by using cardinal directions. Turned out no one else in our friend group did that and they all thought we were some mix of weird or odd.

So the type of person who calls NTs "normies" I assume. I've only recently learned that there are in fact a handful of ASD/ND traits unique to people on the spectrum and not everyone sees pictures in their mind all the time for example. I was pretty sure an earworm is a shared human experience though.

The funny thing about online NPC discourse is that while NPCs are not a real thing, if they were the type of people who call others NPCs are probably the best candidates for being NPCs.

Oliver Sacks wrote a really good book called Musicophilia that talks extensively about pathological musicality, earworms etc. so if you're actually curious you could read about that instead of giving insanely dumb TikTok peoples' half-baked ideas any amount of credit

This is all reminding me of people's annoying habit of starting to talk without getting my attention first, expecting me to already be listening. I have the (possibly autistic?) trait that parsing spoken words requires a little bit of focus on my part -- it isn't difficult, but I do have to be doing it. In so many conversations, my first response is "What?" or "Say that again?" because my brain didn't have the speech-recognition program loaded when the other person just started talking out of the blue.

Even better when they do this and are also continuing a conversation that began in their head or we were having ten minutes ago. Like playing Broken Telephone on hard mode. I'll be doing the dishes with the white noise of running water next to me and my wife will be on the couch trying to say to me "...But only if the bagpipes aren't too loud." and I'll just be trying to figure out wtf she just said.
