I work with a guy like this. Lead his icebreaker with “I don’t understand people so don’t expect me to interact with you.”
He’s the most brilliant person I’ve ever worked with. His knowledge is encyclopedic. He will show you how what you’re asking is idiotic in as few words as is necessary. He has no fear of manager or customer.
He has my eternal allegiance.

Oh to be such a brave man
It helps if your field of fucks is barren and you’ve none left to give. I really love it. My boss told me if I wanna go up in the hierarchy I’ll need some diplomacy training to speak to higher ups and I’m like “do you really think I say those things by accident?!” :,D
I run my own company (a one man operation) contracting technology services primarily to a single business with occasional short contracts to other businesses. My main contract has been the same company for several years. I’ve gained enough trust to say a lot of really blunt shit to C levels.
That’s the thing. A lot of them want someone to be blunt to them from time to time. If they don’t have that they become unmoored from reality.
We stan
looking at the lyrics of that song, i would not exactly stan
There’s a song about the word stan?
Yes, there is, it’s actually the trope namer!
today’s lucky 10000!
Yay!!!
I would follow that man into hell.
First line reminds me of office space
They are both autistic.
I love how autism has become this fetishized thing that you slap onto all people operating outside of expected parameters.
That’s exactly what I’d expect an autistic person to say.
I don’t think that’s what fetishized means.
It is. It refers to things being held in special regard in social arrangements, to an religious extent. The autism discourse, with all the memes and such, does more often than not include a cult-like adherence to beliefs around certain behaviours that anyone could display, shifting focus away from the developmental aspects of autism which are very much real and to diagnostic markers that are less than well defined but are used in clinical settings like: trouble at work/school/kindergarten [Y/N], and certain things the hiveminds of the world latch onto. There I think of people regarding dislike of the “big” light as being an indicator for autism(???).

Makes one wonder if vampires are autistic.
No, vampires have rabies.
Autistim is the new ‘touched by god’.
to an religious extent
yeah, I don’t think that applies here
There are also civil and secular religions, so it still applies. Think about the way we fetishize democracy, long covid or mold exposure. Really interesting topic.

literally what it means
Literally not
People treat words like divine tangible streams of meaning when they’re just sounds we make
Completely unrelated, seems like you have a bug up your butt about something else. Also I’m pretty sure nobody thinks that either, sorry a prescriptivist upset you but that has no relation to what I said.

Everything is an autistic trait when you go looking for autistic traits.
Ding ding ding, we have a winner!
I don’t tknow the coworker, but OP is obviously GAY.
OP is the coworker following the guy around. And they thought we wouldn’t notice smh my head
Totally in love and heartbroken. Bmh my heart too.
Fake: woman interested in man
Gay: anon is jealous
Ungay: anon is a woman too.
Completlely flips the script, doesn’t it?
Regay: anon is jealous of the guy, because she has a crush on the women following him.
No, it’s just gay with extra steps
You must show your working
It’s gymnastics more than math.
Gigachads don’t shout, do they?
Or they only shout. No in between
I’M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. YOUR DAD WAS A GREAT GUY!!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
I’ve been in this literal exact situation. If it hadn’t happened 20 years ago I’d be worried this anon is talking about me
As an autistic woman who’s usually attracted to others on the spectrum, I am worried anon is talking about me.
Sometimes i tell my girlfriend stories about weird people in my life and she’s like: yeah, she was into your autistic ass. Nonono, she was doing this and that… Oh honey.
Same, I’m such a dumb fuck! Nothing Gigachad about that.
Autism/Chad horseshoe theory
he’s GAY.
HE’S LITERALLY GAY
Or just not into that particular girl
Sounds like a man who knows what he likes and doesn’t want social involvement with people he doesn’t like. Why does that behavior have to have a name?
Could simply not be interested?
fake and gay
Is this situation plausible?
Yes. I’m tall and conventionally good looking. Had almost the same situation happen to me, except for the shouting “yes” part.
I am also above average in heights and looks. A girl would follow me around in high school and harass and make fun of me all the time while still trying to be my friend. I couldn’t stand her at the time but in retrospect she was definitely crushing on me.
I am over 7 feet tall and have won several male beauty pageants. Throngs of of overaged women would break into the store next door at night in order to smell the very toilet paper that I may one day use. At the time it seemed frightening, but in retrospect it was pretty flattering
I stand just shy of 300 feet tall and my beard is made of tentacles. I speak smoothly the lost language of R’lyeh and let me tell you- there’s plenty of fish in the sea
I’m 12 miles tall and eat planets for fun. This crazy chick has followed me across half the galaxy on a surfboard and wont leave me alone.
I am the concept of height itsself.
Everyone is obsessed with me.
I on the other hand am extremely small. One time this ant wouldn’t leave me alone and I had to yell “leave me alone aunt Becky!”. Now I’m not invited to family picnics anymore.
Absolutely.
She’s extroverted and has some damage going on. Not nominal to chase people down and ask them if you’re annoying. He’s introverted and is already exhausted by her.
I’ve known a couple of women like that.
Is it a red flag if she’s chasing you down like that?
If she’s asking if he thinks she’s annoying, that’s a red flag. The fact that she ran down to his car to ask him, double.
But hey, two people with that same energy prob work well together, just not stares at wall guy :)
So it wouldn’t be a red flag if we have the same energy?
As opposed to inaudibly shouting
An autistic gigachad, obviously.
Gigautist
He’s Neo from The Matrix, dodging bullets.
