the cishet dude version of this from 20 years ago is when the girl in your class asks if you play video games and you say yes and she tells you about her “sims” and asks if you want to play and you can make two sims to be roommates together and you are like “naw i dont play that game” and she looks sad
oh i interpreted the person on the right as a guy (cishet brainworms) and thought this was a comic about autism when really it was a comic about awkward lesbian romance the entire time (or both)
That, which still holds today, is my lament. I was like “dating? So I’d have to interrupt being online and doing what I want to do to go be romantic or whatever??”. It makes me think that I might actually be some kind of ace despite yearning for, seeking out, and luxuriating in companionship.

i think its both. but my comment is about how neurodivergent experiences of this kind is shared across the spectrum of gender and sexuality
