This is a serious thread and i know niggas are gonna screencap the title to use as a gotcha in a future argument which is cool

Anyways ive never been formally diagnosed with anything but I have a lot of symptoms that are consistent with those of people who have Aspergers, etc. Ever since I was a jit I've had problems socializing with people and I engage in repetitive behaviors

I also get super intersted in mundane and niche s*** like I was super obsessed with music production and animation in the past and my intersests just fizzled out. but then again that is normal s***

Idk anyone itt autistic or have aspergers? If so relay your experiences

Well that’s a bad sign for this community because you’re one of the better posters here.

are you able to look people in the eye?

my dad is gigautistic luckily i dodged those genes

harness your powers tho

the woat posters wouldn't self reflect like that...

Autism is the next evolution of the human race

it depends

the covid masks have kinda made it better but for the most part i get super uncomfortable looking strangers in the eye unless im on a date or something

Why is that a bad sign

I have almost the same exact experience op. I’ve been thinking about asking a doctor about it but I don’t wanna just lead them in that direction for them to say “ok yeah you are”. I’m only diagnosed with anxiety/depression

There’s been autism hysteria recently I think your just a victim of that

Nah i've felt this way for a while

Like i said ive never been diagnosed but im definitely not neurotypical

Been seeing a ridiculous amount of people self diagnosing autism recently

Ain’t nothing wrong with a lil tism

Same. Especially with the repetitive behaviors and interests s***

Well those niche interets don't have to mean you're autistic i be having hours ling discussion abt baathism's ideological place in revolutionary politics and I don't have autism afaik

How obsessive do you get about it?

It's always the best idea to research a little and see how much you identify, maybe even a decent online test, then get assessed by professionals

autism is a spectrum right

probably a lot of people who are slightly autistic

idk what im talking about lol

My most autistic trait is i'm a big NOOTICER

I be SOYFACING at carplates like BRO LOOK AT THIS PATTERN I RECOGNIZED WOW

The online tests I’ve found haven’t really helped me any but maybe I need a better one

do you get upset when the repetitive behaviors/routines are interrupted? like having to do something spur of the moment?

are you over sensitive to some stimuli like lights,sound, etc.?

do you "stim" at all? like things like repeatedly rubbing your hands, rocking back and forth? to relieve tension or just because it feels good

It's not a debilitating obsession but when i get fixated on something it takes up a good portion of my time

I also nooticed a pattern in your posts idk if u wanna jordamuse me here

my friend thinks im high functioning
