Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

(replicate of alt text just in case)

A comic titled, "Weird Little Situations In My Life Which Are Most Likely Due To My Autism But Are Probably Still Relatable" abbreviated to the unholy acronym "WLSIMLWAMLDTMABAPSR"

By Queen Of Squiggles (oh hey that's me!)

First Panel - A cute character wearing a wizard hat gets a message on their laptop that says, "Hey this work is urgent, can you get it done fast?"

Second Panel - The character's eyes are shown with fire in them and the text below reading, "Hyperfocus Activated" and the associated stats of "plus 500% efficiency" and "minus 90% max HP"

Third Panel - The character is shown exhausted and sweating with a small pile of packages behind them.

Fourth Panel - the laptop reads the message, "Hey, great job. But I wasn't asking you to hurt yourself doing it?" The character is seen collpased on the floor sobbing

Become an engineer so you can optimize the hell out of your hyperfocus - fellow fixation autism-haver

Or don't. I stopped talking to friends and strangers after learning abt time complexity and binary search. My tism really went for brevity over long conversations, if I didn't have anything nuanced to say about a topic I would shut up and listen to other people talk (which is boring and uninteresting after a while). I really thought if my life wasn't perfectly sorted that I was committing a crime against my friends and myself. Turns out people want to hear what I thought about and I shouldn't be aloof.

TLDR: Keep being yourself even after learning about optimization

I learned about binary search through space partitioning algorithms (KD trees, BVH trees), these strategies can benefit other aspects of life

I can't activate my hyperfocus on command, sadly. It sometimes happens around trains but that's not what the work is about.

I feel you. This can be so me. 😅
