Poor neurotypicals, they are going to have to pretend to be autistic for awhile. But don't feel too bad for them unlike us they still get to use typical expressions and body language.

I'm sure many neurotypicals will be glad to have an excuse to stay indoors and watch TV all day.

I hate strangers sitting next to me on the bus so all I'll have to do is say that I might have coronavirus and they are sure to sit elsewhere. :lol:

I should say that to all the old men who try to sweet talk me at the bus stop. If I tell them I might have coronavirus, they will run like hell.

. Quite the role reversal. NT's now are expected to mask their natural enthusiasm for social interaction for the benefit of wider society.

Screen print yourself a fetching new t-shirt emblazoned with the phrase ”I Am The Plague.

That’ll sort that one. :wink:

Lol, too bad I have a job. :lol:

I have to use the bus at the rush hour too, so that's probably the biggest threath to my health.

i have a hearty immune system, and it most likely because I'm autistic, as i like to get into stuff. I like to touch things that others wouldn't dare touch.
