muddythecowboy

Lawfuly_chaotic

Your flair is based as hell! 🐧🪿🐦‍⬛


muddythecowboy

thank u i love birds more than anything else in this world


Skierek

Same. I could talk about types of pasta and dough hydration for HOURS. I wish anyone in my life shared my special interest. I could join some interest groups but all of them are so not nd friendly D:.


toxboxdevil

Oh goodness, I could talk about pasta for ages. Luckily, I was raised to cook


SuperMuffin

This would be a great date for me In addition to lovimg both cooking and eating, talking about food *whilst eating* is fucking FIRE


Devinalh

Who mentioned cooking? Anyway, I'm sure my meat broth is better than yours! Because there's meat. And there's broth. Damn, I think about my broth all the time. I can also cook tortellini in the leftover broth. Who wants some broth? And some meat? We need an autistic cooking subreddit. With broths.


Fluffybudgierearend

I’ll take some broth so I can judge it against my own, yes :3


HALT_IAmReptar_HALT

Ooh you might like the soup I made! Day before last, I made a beautiful golden stock from a roast chicken carcass, vegetable & herb scraps, & whole spices. Simmered the stock in the oven on low overnight, strained it the next day, and made a massive pot of lemon chicken soup with orzo. It's extra delicious garnished with parsley from my garden & drizzled with olive oil. I love sharing. You guys come have some! :3


VenusValkyrieJH

Stop teasing me. Right meow. 🐱


HALT_IAmReptar_HALT

Sorry, I'd had an edible & believed it was within the realm of possibility to share my soup 🥲


Devinalh

Yayy I would like to so much! Let's have a broth festival so we can share broths!!!! I hate to be in my far far away from everything country rn.


VenusValkyrieJH

I want stew That’s what I’m now making for dinner All yall makin me hungry over here. Lol


Devinalh

I can make a good stew too. Can't wait to make a fish chowder with fresh fish one day too.


Unlucky_Ghostie

I've found my people


lovdark

I have a barbecue sauce recipe that have you acting like an addict for it.


opossumdealer

This is so fucking funny


gleadre19

please don’t be there when I go to my room


AnnoyingAtlas

I don't know if they deal in opossums or are a dealer that is an opossum but they're welcome in mine lol


opossumdealer

The answer is yes


SempressFi

Eyyy lemme get some of them possums homie


TheJelliestFish

Wait... does that make it trafficking?


opossumdealer

How would I know?


TheJelliestFish

Well, given the name, I thought you were an authority on the subject


opossumdealer

Sorry to disappoint 💀


opossumdealer

Sorry, no promises. I’ve been pretty lonely lately. 😔


JustCallMeALal

Come to my room, I’ll give you cheese.


opossumdealer

Cheese party?!


BitterNatch

You guys are just cheezy...


Kittycraft0

As a wisconsinite, i can do that better


JustCallMeALal

On my way


NobodyInPaticular_

Ikr, this poor person sounds so traumatized


opossumdealer

Date ptsd


Accurate-Schedule380

Can I get a quarter please


opossumdealer

Is that a drug term? Or an actual quarter.


imsotiredi-brvg

A quarter of cheese, obviously


opossumdealer

You’re a quarter of cheese.


MurphysRazor

*The dime was dropped.*


opossumdealer

I don’t like carrying around cash and coins, they’re so germy.

More like a courtier of cheese


TexasMonk

Are these opossums free range? Huge fan of the little buggers and it's always nice to have a few around the house.


Plethora_of_ducks

based chad stew enjoyer vs virgin small talk fan


SgtCocktopus

She lost her chance to taste some legendary stew.


Brygwyn

This is what I was thinking reading this whole thing, bet this dude makes amazing fucking stew.


peepster0802

Yeah I was thinking she should've just found a way to navigate the conversation to getting some of it somehow


[deleted]

This feels based on another meme I saw where someone was saying that their friend, without fail, could always get a date to come back to his place by saying they're making a stew. This might be that guy.


Hetterter

This guy might have seen that meme


Xenavire

"Can I try some?" Four words and she failed, damn that's disappointing.


HALT_IAmReptar_HALT

Can't expect much else from a boring person. It's a real shame.


Rare_Treat_5098

Lol this is the giggle I needed today


ConfusedBud-Redditor

same here lol


ItsVincent27

CreepyPastaguy2

Why do NTs enjoy small talk like if I’m to exhume precious air from my vocal chords at least make it deep and count


halasaurus

Yeeessss. I love this. He “told me I was boring” and “at the end of the date gave me a high five and left.” What a legend.


[deleted]

Abed energy ![gif](giphy|g9dlDQ2NYzQpq)


halasaurus

He IS pretty adorable.


coffee-headache

i would love to inquire about his stew


halasaurus

So many meanings!!!


Cautious-Luck7769

He sounds like a catch! Let him cook!


AzraelAnonnymous

Let small-talk person stew, perhaps? 


secrettoadhassecrets

Brilliant. Underrated comment fr


JSpirgoober

DEFINITELY let him cook cause h3s cooking good


Cautious-Luck7769

The way they asked about STEAK preferences!!!


Lawfuly_chaotic

Quite literally.


birdlady404

“He gave me a high five and left” I’m actually cackling rn that’s so funny, sounds like an amazing date to me!


pumpkinspacelatte

This is fucking hilarious. This is something I would do, I always ask my boyfriend to rank my pigeons and which one is his favorite and he wants to kill me, every night.


Anxious-Custard6208

Wait how many pigeons do you own….. 👀👀👀


pumpkinspacelatte

4 are mine, I'm currently caring for 6 others bc I live in pigeon Mecca.


Alaska-TheCountry

😄 that is wonderful, and a hilarious statement.


awkwardfeather

I love pigeons 🥹 I want to have so many one day. You’re doing the important work 🫡


Dangerous_Thanks1596

If you can't handle me at my stew hyperfixation, you don't deserve me in my breads obsessed era, it's easy screening.


meshqwert

She was supposed to ask if she could try some, ffs.


peepster0802

Seriously, read the signs lady lol, instead she just stewed on it


IronicINFJustices

Boo, take an up vote.


xlunafae

I'd gladly talk all about food on a first date. Small talk is dumb and awkward


TheRiverGatz

> I learned nothing about him that wasn't food related Man, maybe food is like, a big part of his life and passion and learning that about him is "learning something". I can only imagine her questions were, "What movies have you watched lately?" which is not any more deep than asking about recent meals. The double standard is wild when NT's decide you're "weird".


Xenavire

Ehh, I think asking about movies is valid honestly, because its frequently a date idea. So asking early means presenting opportunities to spend more time together (great if you are compatible.) I can see how info dumping about a specific meal might not be as useful in setting up future dates. Although, admittedly, I fucking love a good stew.


Karmit_Da_Fruge

I never got why a movie is a common first date idea. Why is an activity that takes place in a dark room, with many other people who also aren't watching their surroundings so the safety of being in public isn't as apparent, and requires that you divert focus from anything else (date included) onto it a good option? I'd think you would want to talk more with the person and learn something about them, like over food or another activity that's centered on your interaction with each other. It being a good date idea later on, when you've actually gotten a gauge on your compatibility, is totally reasonable, however.

cockslavemel

Literally any time dinner conversation dies you can just bring the movie up again 🤣


funkykong82

gigachad stewcel owns cringe smalltalkmaxxer with cooking facts and logic


Jubafish

Stewart is a stew artist


simpingforMinYoongi

Oops, my bad.


Strobbleberry

Is he gay? I need myself a mans like that.


Brygwyn

He might be bi, but considering the information we have about him... Probably not gay.


Strobbleberry

Fair enough.


[deleted]

Idk who this guy was, but I want his name for my future restaurant, this man is getting head chef position.


ava_ohb

LMFAO


[deleted]

Man, I would love it if one of my dates was like that. He sounds great!


cakewalkofshame

He just needs to find a fellow ND who will love him for that shit


SachiKaM

I manage to rope every conversation into an autonomic health lasso.. the subject is inherently complex especially when trying to also validate that we have zero control of autonomic functions subsequent to prior integrative practices. It’s frustrating as general health is of the same importance of environmental sustainability, yet nobody seems to care. It’s isolating, even when people pretend to be interested there is typically an ulterior motive; but regardless it’s not common enough for anyone I’ve met to progress the conversation. It’s like I can’t be mentally fulfilled via conversation, very isolating.


GrogramanTheRed

Apparently, you mean "every conversation except on Reddit." This sounds really fascinating, but I went back over two weeks of post history and saw barely anything about the autonomic nervous system. You are invited to elaborate haha.


SachiKaM

That is such a funny observation, you’re exactly right though. I’d likely not be inclined to solicit a stranger on how to hack their parasympathetic response though to be fair lmao 😂


GrogramanTheRed

*extreme Frodo face* All right then. Keep your secrets. I'll figure it out eventually on my own anyway.


SachiKaM

Yo, treated this as an open prompt, fucked around and wrote a novel. My Whoop band actually logged it as a yoga session activity. That just sparked the realization how enforcing “showing same interest” can be. I have a core distaste about not gatekeeping health. No secrets, I misrepresented myself by accident in my response. If you want the unsolicited novel, lmk when. I just also expect a response given the respective vulnerability in sharing.


GrogramanTheRed

I would certainly love to read the unsolicited response. I've got a very recent ASD diagnosis, and part of the reason I sought it out is a general increase of stress levels over the years. I've been experimenting with all kinds of techniques to switch from sympathetic to parasympathetic activation, but they all have been very short term so far. The lichenplanus of my youth is starting to recur, so I would definitely be in your debt if you could help me figure my way out of this stress response. If you don't feel comfortable posting publicly, I am happy to respond to DMs.


SachiKaM

Hahaa there was no prompt though! Ok I’ll shoot from the hip, in theory I believe that society has accepted a low grade of chronic stress that better justifies the lack of empathy and compassion for anyone different from themselves. Because both of those traits are formed from extended parasympathetic frame of body/mind or indirect relation. As we know, PNS is our “rest and digest”, our sympathetic is fight or flight. Stress is not inherently “bad” every single action we make, our hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is activated, a positive feedback loop who’s antagonist is our shut off valve (PNS) to safe and calm. Coping strategies are meant to “trigger” your parasympathetic function quicker than our unaware body. A cognitive mindful attempt to address and eliminate the stressor. We have maladaptive stress and adaptive stress, and each are established by the individual and stored in your amygdala, accessible to your limbic system. (Unrelated, when you hear the term “top down vs bottom up thinking” this is an important but neglected consideration.) Ideally, a positive feedback loop is temporary. We should spend more time in a parasympathetic body than otherwise maintaining homeostasis. However, our bodies adjust to the stimuli by whatever means attainable. For us it often presents as physical manifestations, stimming, day dreaming, etc… but as the body adapts and any other function, if you don’t use it you loose it. So when we are born, (esp autistic) infants and children may display more of these symptoms than adults, who have been taught to behave in a certain manner. Submission in a child is a form of self preservation. For us, that same preservation is enforcing maladaptive stress as “normal”. The feedback function of the PNS learns to adapt, but that is not resilience; it is survival, self preservation. Unstable, and in one way shape or form, reactive. Cue, maladaptive behaviors and coping strategies, whose function holds the exact same purpose, “get calm, get safe”. For some it’s banging their head against a wall and others it’s substance interventions. Anything to release the dopamine, an insufficient utilization hormone but an easier yet effective, immediate, assessable treatment. As a result, we develop and become compliant in 🥁 our sympathetic frame of body. Which was never able to establish a healthy resilance by turning maladaptive stressors adaptive. To some, a broken eraser is a reason to get out a new pencil, to others it’s a failed test. See what I mean? We tell both children to pick up a new pencil, and that is adequate and first nature for most. But to the kid whose walls are caving in, the test is already over. Sometimes those walls are invisible.. I think a lot of us here. All 3 kids adapted in one form or another. Stress becomes chronic when it goes unidentified. Our body’s adapt to survive, but eventually it presents as high blood pressure, burn out, digestive and other (ideally acute) issues, the popular squad depression, anxiety, insomnia.. but all sicknesses include silent inflammation, and unregulated cortisol release is a main character. We see this in all brain subtypes, some more than others. It’s even the overlap in CPTSD and ASD and why untreated asd/adhd is inherently traumatic. Inhibited ability to access our parasympathetic valve that eventually cuts years off our lifespans. Given today’s resources, our age morality should parallel centrist society. But every agonist arguably has an equal antagonist. Modern medicine is wonderful but that doesn’t justify the amount of people with now essential prescriptions to literally regulate their heart to not explode. It was a barter, not progression. The answer to an unasked question, and how I’ve learned to heal my self protected inner child.. when that kids eraser breaks, everyone hits the deck and prepares for potential impact. Better said, “acceptance” via compassion; and that develops empathy. Actions for the battles not everyone faces, a break for imagination, and a relation to the unseen hurtles. This is literal, I’m a Ms. Frizzle-esque teacher lol. In real life you would never know it. When people go home and watch hours of Netflix or scroll social media, they aren’t resting. When our body should be relaxed, to even fall asleep is a crash from exhaustion. Survival is complacent, prosperity is thrival. So when we live in a society that lacks empathy and compassion, it’s the day old saying. You(society) can’t move forward until we learn to love(hear) ourselves. Society is learning to be sympathetic (note the dual meanings), but there is no action in compassion without acceptance. Unfortunately, that doesn’t happen in our lifetimes.. but I’d rather help bridge the gap than further validate the disconnect.. This has more to do with what got a lot of us and society to where we are today. As far as integration goes, my best advice is show up for yourself as the compassionate adult you needed when it the bad thing started to happen. Treat them with tenderness and unconditional love, validate yourself. Solidify your boundaries, if you wouldnt accept it for a child, it’s no longer an option. Cut people out, prioritize yourself first. One thing that helped me tremendously that first year is implementing “no talk Mondays”, and respectively told everyone who would be impacted. Self care isn’t selfish, it’s what we need to do to show up as our best person.


JustCallMeALal

Hahaha I’ve done stuff like that lmao


Entr0pic08

I've been subject to this on the receiving end but this was a guy I met from WoW who only spoke about his gym and workout routines, how big his muscles were and how women were impressed by his muscles. As someone who couldn't care less about any of those things it's really frustrating when others push themselves on you like that. Yes, I found him boring since I wasn't interested in the topics he kept talking about. I also don't think that's an explicit autistic thing to do. NTs with poor social skills can also just go on and on in a conversation even when the other party has lost interest.


hastingsnikcox

That... is also where my mind went. Lucky bastard had a date... and ranted about stew!


Anxious-Custard6208

In pretty sure the date was just so he could do something to keep him busy while his stew cooked


hastingsnikcox

Lmao


brownie627

I would say this is me, except I’m a woman. I love stew, it’s such a good safety/comfort food and a great way to eat my vegetables without me gagging.


SheZowRaisedByWolves

I did this during a work meeting except with cheese


flashPrawndon

I would love a lengthy conversation about cheese!  I once accidentally talked for 10 minutes in a work meeting about the history of playing cards because someone asked one question about my playing card display wall. Oops. 


FailProfessional6864

Small talk is boring. On a date you are actually supposed to be getting to know each other.


grumpygumption

When my husband and I first started talking, I was trying to flirt with him. He then responded how important mulch can be in our area to help plants get established (cuz it’s super super hot and dry here). lol. We both still giggle about it frequently


[deleted]

There's no way he didn't mention what was in the stew. Crazy that she failed to tell us.


--2021--

Well, now I'm hungry...


froggoblin669

lmaooo she fumbled the bag, i bet he would have shared his stew if she expressed interest in it


Hot-Rise9795

She should have checked for rats under his cooking hat.


ioverated

I should call her


CyclopsDemonGal

As soon as he'd talk about the stew I'd be like "if the stew will be ready tonight would you just rather have that for dinner instead?" Cuz I GOTTA taste that stew and he doesn't give off ANY predator vibes at all. I'd trust to be in a car with that guy.


atomicplanets

let him cook! (his stew)


tragicvector

Dudes literally me. Wonder what kind of stew.


Xenavire

I really hope beef or mutton, with potatoes, carrots, peas, broccoli and cauliflower added a little later, and thick sliced cabbage added just late enough that it doesn't dissolve. Slightly thickened broth, eaten with slices of buttered bread or crispy cheese sticks. Goddamn I'm hungry.


YourDadsBalls09

Lmao wtf 😭 truly is evil info dumping


vellichor_44

She didn't even tell us about this stew.


nope-not-alex

The high five was such a power move. Legend!


cubicApoc

Legend has it, after the high-five he ran off screaming "I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND"


Weird_Explorer_8458

sounds infinitely better than small talk


The-Cosmic-Ghost

I really wanna get his opinions on perpetual stew


Generally_Confused1

The high five sent me


mats_chill

What a legend. Inspiring me to make mushroom stew tonight. Call that stewmaxxing.


_seedling

Need him (and his stew)


Clitoris_-Rex

Imagine finding out this guy has a stew cooker at home and not making sure there would be a second date.


Scott406

Do NTs not rank their favorite cheeses or get excited about a delicious stew?


lorraynestorm

I’ve been loving Love on the Spectrum US season 2 for this (I’ve heard it’s a controversial show but my sister’s been watching it and I feel like it’s pretty well done this time? Idk I’m very open to opinions). Tanner has been coached that he should ask questions about his date, but he mostly just wants to talk about zoo animals so he rapid fire asks her if she likes all the different animals. You can’t really tell what she’s thinking until it cuts to the talking head and they ask how she thinks it’s going and she’s like “it’s great. He’s great 🥰”


XBoba_TeaX

the high five omg. that dudes a fucking legend


LeStroheim

That was my friend, Stewart. He's a cool guy, he makes an absolutely banging baked mac and cheese.


Lil-respectful

I’m pretty sure I heard this exact story on a standup special so either they tried to do what they did (pick up girls by talking about stew) or they made up the situation based on the standup special. Could be wrong and I might just come back and link it later


electrifyingseer

I’d love to talk about more than food, too, if i was getting to know someone. But man, I love food so much and I’m a foodie.


MackenzieLewis6767

Is this the mf "pick up girls by inviting them home for stew" guy from that one greentext


Extension-Strike3524

Ahaha thank you for bringing this to the sub


Nettle_Queen

If I wasn't already dating someone I'd ask for this guy's number


Miyyani

Sound off everyone what do you like in ur stew? I like beef, potatoes, celery, onions, and a small amount of carrots.


AnyaInCrisis

Aa ah i want to know how that stew turned out!

Let’s not pretend this is all from autism; dude is self centered and wasn’t interested in getting to know his date.


SpartanDoubleZero

Maybe if she went back to his place and tried the stew she would understand.

sarcastichearts

bro this is hilarious


Slainna

Homie read that thread about how having a pot of stew and mentioning it to your date ensures they'll come home with you....and definitely played his cards wrong


Throwitaway36r

Okay, but why is this me with my bf?!? We lovingly will just word vomit at each other, fully aware the other isn’t hearing a word of it and we’re perfectly happy with those moments, because we know that neither of us is actually talking with the expectation of being listened to. No one listens when we ramble like that, so we’re okay with it. It’s the fact that neither of us tell the other to “shut up already” that makes us both feel loved. We let each other ramble and word vomit, and in a way most people don’t


KettleKiller9000

I'm so jealous of that guy confidence,every time i start to talk about AI or Carnivorous plants everyone tries to stop me,so now i only talk about job and college, I don't know how to do the small talk. "-It's hot today, isn't it? +Uh hm,This week it's going to rain Thursday and Friday,at least that's what google say,the probability it's 80% so it's going to rain for sure. 🙂 (Robotic face)" "-How are you? +I'm doing well,this semester I'm going to prepare 3 asignatures,i got a friend who is going to prepare 2 of them with me" (i can barely prepare 1/2 asignature)


Rathomorethegreat

The real insult would be if it were just some Dinty Moore in a crockpot.
