getting obsessed with a lot of different shit, sometimes in a positive way where its gonna give me a hobby or distraction, sometie just plain out unhealthy obsessed.

and being absolute trash at social interactions

 

[rudeandreckless]

No biggie, just me completely withdrawing from all routine and going super ocd on a project for several days only to leave it and never return.

I feel you on those fronts. I will be forever socially awkward. I kind of enjoy the fact that I have special interests though. Right now mine is obsessively consuming all things related to 90's alternative music. What are some of your special interests?

Hmm, the closest thing to experienental/avant-gard 90s that I listen to is Nine Inch Nails. They're more industrial but they incorporate experimental sounds. The Downward Spiral is their most popular album. Has my favorite song 'Closer' on it. The music video for it was banned at the time because it was too disturbing.

If you are interested in the origins and science and chemistry behind drugs, you might like the Vice TV show called Hamilton's Pharmacopeia.

Never fitting in. Never knowing the right thing to do or say. Poor decision making as a result. A life of complete regret.

mostly with social things i think. i also have special interests, which sometimes can be nice or sometimes is frustrating if i get too focused on something.

Haha!

I don't understand the world and I don't fit in. I'm not normal and I don't act normal and this has just given me a lifetime of trauma.

It can absolutely be traumatic to be neurodivergent in a neurotypical world. But you have every right to be here.

You must be a very proud plant parent! Me on the other hand, I killed a cactus. I should probably never have children.

Autism makes my life so horrible. The bullying (especially workplace bullying), the sensory issues, the fact that I can't do most things in my own… The only cure to autism is death.

People are so cruel. That is really heavy and I hate that that you have to go through that.

It has ruined my life. Because of it I never had a true relationship with a woman, i never had a true friend, never held a proper job and I never got a driver's license. Also autism (asperger's in my case) will be one of the 2 main reasons why I will ctb. The other one being my chronic bodily pain (bad joints and hypotonia)

 

[PimpHand]

Autism makes me unable to read social cues and unable to express my feelings in a way that people will understand.

I have Autism + CPTSD + Anxiety and I'm studying the possibility of ADHD.

Basically I have zero social network, everybody hates me and treats me like trash. I developed anger issues due to trauma and also sensory overload. Everybody thinks I'm evil and that I do it on purpose. People just can't understand, it is easier for them to not understand.

 

[settling]

masking. pretty fine at it though just awkward. i just use the many rules of thumb ive gathered growing up, but again im just really awkward.
stimming and tics, sometimes i grasp my stomach (like i just grab a handful of belly fat when im laying down) when im overstimulated or overwhelmed. i used to pace but now i dont. still spin in my chair sometimes though. one that i really hate and i feel like shit when i realize im doing it is that sometimes i chew my headphone cord lol but no holes in it. although ive managed to do it much less often if at all now.

It must feel like such a burden to you. You are allowed to feel how you feel. I am sorry, I wish you didnt have to go through that

Its hard being neurodiverse in a neurotypical world

Yes it's a huge burden, and it's even a bigger burden because my parents never accepted that I was autistic, and they were never comforting or loving parents. They are such cold narcisisstic people. I'm just tired of it all. If everything goes right I will ctb soon. I just cannot do it any more. There is not a single ray of light or hope in this earthly life for me.

I'm not good with sarcasm or verbal subtext. I've always hated eye contact but now I force myself to do because I'd get in trouble for it. I stim a lottt (I get asked if I'm okay often because a lot of the time I'm rocking; it's kinda aggressive at times). I can't handle bright lights and really can't handle loud sounds. special interests (my friends joke about it but I see evangelion in literally everything). I get asked if I'm autistic a lot, and am told that my manner of speaking seems autistic (also british? not sure what that's about, I'm not british). I think I just tend to word things as one would in a book because I've read a lot. I don't display emotion well and get asked why I look so stoic when I'm actually exited. I'm not good with change (I've worn the same outfit every day for over a decade and have always had my own set of dishes separate from my family's). other stuff that's probably too unique to mention here.
