#patterns everywhere

[youdontlookautistic]

Late diagnosed autistic and waking up:

When I first found out I was autistic last year, I saw the funny mentions and tiktoks about 'wow patterns everywhere.'

Patterns! All over!

I laughed. I got it, but thought it was sort of a light hearted joke. Just an autie joke yeah?

Nah.

No. My dudes.

There are patterns everywhere. In everything. And I feel like my entire life purpose is to find the why of the pattern. THERE ARE PATTERNS IN FUCKING EVERYTHING AND MY BRAIN IS WIRED TO SEEK THEM OUT.

The more I lean into myself, the louder they get. I sorta love it.

Humans will always revert back to the attitudes and mannerisms of those they claim to despise. It is one of the many reasons they are ultimately a disappointment.

I wonder if my family has realized that my grandmother's life is mirroring her mother's and mother-in-law's in a weirdly eerie fashion.

Both lost their husbands *years before* (Grammie bucked the trend and remarried, but she's outlived her first husband by almost 15 years; her mother was widowed for 20 and her MIL for 25).

Both her mother and mother-in-law had a son die in adulthood (Grammie's brother came back from an RCAF exercise paralyzed and died years later; her brother-in-law, my bio grandfather's only brother, dropped dead while shoveling snow in his driveway some ~15 years before his mother's death).

And it's just a matter of time for my uncle; not if, but when.

I’m starting to see subtext in everything. My personal life, relationships with friends, friend’s relationships with others, signs on the wall…. I’m seeing everything as a piece of the puzzle and tjlc is the key that holds everything together. I’m in love with my best friend. My ex is in love with his best friend. A rainbow sign at my office that says PRIDE (totally unrelated to gay stuff). I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
