A list of things I do/about me that make me question why I didnāt get diagnosed with autism sooner! šā¾ļø
- I would constantly get blisters on my feet as a kid cus I hated wearing socks and would rather have the blisters than socks on
- I had a year and a half long fixation on Dance Gavin Dance to the point I was ONLY listening to their music and nothing else and didnāt want talk about ANYTHING but them
- eating the same food and never getting tired of it (itās noodles btw)
- (this one is after my diagnosis but still) made a list of vocaloid songs I could remember off of the top of my head to help calm me down and focus
- used to have bad screaming and crying meltdowns in 2021
- never having my overhead light in my room on cus itās too bright
- having a over 350+ plushie collection
- constantly rewatching Good Mythical Morning episodes instead of finishing shows Iāve started
- rocking myself in my bed all the time
- not being able to tell when someone is joking with me or not
- curling my feet up unnaturally high/crossing my legs all the way around when I cross my legs (basically like this : š§¬)
- watching everything with subtitles
- genuinely likes to make lists of things Iām interested in (I mean look Iām writing a list right now!)
- loud noises makes me wanna rip my ears off
- the feeling of sponges and Sherpa is disgusting and Iād rather touch a rose bush!
- always worked and socialized better with other neurodivergent people
- I donāt understand or like the idea of situationships (like just date or not?)
- the feeling of being damp is one of the worst physical feelings I think I could feel
I think thatās all I can think of for now! Knowing me Iāll prob think of more. But genuinely idk how I didnāt get diagnosed sooner. I obviously wasnāt trying to hide it much!
