Things That I Don't Think Neurotypical People Do But I Don't Know If They're Autism
autistic people your input would be very appreciated but no pressure of course
Crying and feeling like I need to throw up when loads of people are screaming around me
Constantly being told I'm "making a face" when I'm just existing
Spending most of my waking hours thinking about 1 specific show (The Owl House)
Needing to think about and imagine scenarios for said show to relax and fall asleep
Unbalanced noise??(like that thing when audio only plays through one earphone) makes me feel liek there are bugs crawling all over me
I want to flip tables and scream and cry when I have to hear people chewing (school cafeterias are hell)
Menus and the possibility of there not being something I'll eat on the menu stress me out to an unreasonable extent (idk this might just be a socially awkward thing)
I mirror people ig?? I think everyone kinda does thta though right??
Flappy hands and jumping around to get out excited/happy energy
Rehearsing scripts for social situations
I hate 3/4 length leggings, like I need to wear really long socks and pull them up if I have to wear them (the temperature difference becomes really distracting and I can't think at all)
Was bullied for being "weird" for like 4 years (I don't think this is that relevant but have been told it might be)
Need to be leaning against or touching the wall in some way when I'm walking in corridors (I end up stumbling or banging into people if I don't)
Bright lights >:[
When someone says something so blatantly incorrect and just fucking lacking any human compassion with so much condescension I get so fuckinv angry I'm still upset abt it days later
An inconclusive list but this is all I can think of right now
Big dessert spoons feel too big in my mouth hate hate hate hate them D:<
