#I don’t really get the humanisation or like. empathy sympathy thing for animals
Text
I can’t read wings au fics very often despite loving them because the adhd/autism hits and I inevitably find myself reading about birds instead
#AimeeSpeaks#fanfiction meta#ao3#wing au#my friends are mostly on the better empathise with animals than humans side of autism but I’m firmly on the I oppisite side#I don’t really get the humanisation or like. empathy sympathy thing for animals#I’m not cruel and I like. respect that animals have boundaries and free will and deserve respect#like I know everything in theory I just don’t feel any real attachment to animals unless it’s like rare cases#I would never support the abuse of animals which I’m already afraid people thing when I say this stuff#I just don’t emotionally connect with them at all#plus despite all my friends loving rodents I’m extremely afraid of them and hate them#all rodents. rats and mice elicit such genuine fear in me it’s not normal. I can’t think about them or I’ll get too paranoid.#I can’t touch hamsters or rabbits or stuff and would much rather not be in the same room as them#I’m neutral on most other animals. soem I don’t like and some I respect#but overall very neutral#we used to play a game on long art days where my friend would name animals and I would state my stance on them#people who were around it a lot became desensitised to how many animals I’m nuetrual or not liking on but some people expected me to love th#the point of this is not even cats or dogs intrest or elicit emotions in me.#I respect cats but find alot of them dirty (anxiety trigger for me) and am neutral to dogs#my aunts dog is generally loved by the family but sometimes I feel guilty that she seems to really like me because I like#I respect her and can like. logically guess what she’s feeling and so I can pet her when I’m overwhelmed and let her sleep next to me#when I nap at family events but. I get really guilty that I don’t feel that same level of friendliness back to her. just vague acceptance#my friends dog is the only animal I’ve ever emotionally connected with. he’s a shithead with extreme anxiety and I was very drunk.#but the point of this is I like birds#liek not just respect them like cats and lizards I like them#I want to own one#I can sympathise with them easily I don’t think their dirty and I didn’t them extremely interesting#so I can’t read about them without the autism really kicking in and making my hyperfixate on actual bird reasearch
