  • Might just be cus we’re both neurodivergent, but we have a lot of non verbal cues, though he’s nowhere near as showy as I am.

    Whenever I end up overstimmed and go non-verbal, I tug at his shirt gently, or paw at him. From then it’s simple ASL. For him, he genuinely just has simple phrasing or wordings that are kind of “key words” between us. The both of us are high functioning in our 20s, this is just kind of how it ended up and we’re both super not subtle about it. It’s great.

    Edit: we literally do pigeon noises at each other at random. One of us says coo and the other goes roo. It’s literally just a “thing” between us and it started because of us watching pigeons together and it stuck.



  • I mean shit dude, sometimes these people literally have no one else to go to. There was a super scary example of it on a Chuggaconroy video where a comment was like “thanks for the memories and for making my days a bit better” and everyone figured it out, and like every single comment - including the creator - told him not to and they succeeded. But still it was fucking insane to see on a YouTube video.














  • I’ll be honest, have the complete opposite approach here. I moved around a lot, country to country even, back when I was a kid, and had no way of keeping up communication with anyone before. Now in highschool, I made friends though a club and met by now partner, and all of us have admitted we probably wouldn’t have stayed in contact if it wasn’t by us sharing a videogame server in which we stream on the weekends, which came in handy specially during the pandemic. We’ve all been friends for 5 years now.
