#autism powers

[autisticthings]

I think autistic people who found out they were autistic later in life, whether it be actually diagnosed or self diagnosed, go through a hyperfixation. And I think it's less of a hyperfixation on autism as an individual "concept" and more of a hyperfixation on yourself.

My family may have hated my rabbit hole of autistic things but I'm grateful I had the opportunity to have myself as a hyperfixation. I know more about myself than anyone else now and I think that's one of the most beautiful things in the world.

Being autistic definitely made me hotter I think.

In case you ever needed an explanation for my antics

someone getting into touhou with the most recent works isn't scary at all. what frightens me is someone who got into touhou with the recent works and has an encyclopedic knowledge of Everything prior. including the themes.

(themes because it's easy to skim the works fairly quickly without actually taking in much of what they're saying. but if your first touhou work was udoalg and you Understand things then you have probably been nonstop thinking about touhou and nothing else since this summer)

Autism is a superpower because I was extremely ill the other day, like midway through puking, but I dont like doing things without background noise, so I stopped and scrolled my phone for a video, resisting the vomit reflex as it hit me in waves and I had to spit out the saliva that naturally builds up when your body wants to puke, and I just couldn't find a video and eventually my body just gave up trying to throw up???

It kind of is like a HUD. I'm unusually good at mental math, even for an engineer, and sometimes people at work like to test my autism powers by picking two numbers for me to multiply. To make an example of it, I dunno, 26 times 72. And I can see the sheet in my head, and I can just go: 26 times 72 is equivalent to 25 times 72, plus 72, and 25 times 72 is just 100 times 18, which is 1800, so it's 1800+72=1872. Which is actually really easy to manage. And I can see the sheet in my head where I'm doing this, feel the hand in my head writing it down the same way that the voice in my head narrates it, it's just that I have the HUD and they don't. I'm not even doing math better than them, I'm just visualizing a piece of paper better than them and it makes me seem better at math. This is my argument for why STEM majors need art classes.

every day my friends see more and more just how fucking weird i am

like yesterday i literally yelled about something i really enjoy

the last time any of my friends have heard me be even a tiny bit loud was when i yelled “A SEX SCENE???” at 8am in the cafeteria.

my friend literally had to deal with me ranting about HOUSE for like a half hour. they dont even watch house a whole lot

and two friends listened to me yell about stardew valley

i am coming out of my shell and they’re going to have to deal with it because im not going anywhere (thats a lie if anybody even seems a tiny bit annoyed i will stfu and distance myself to not become a burden)

Me: Just misread Austin Powers as autism powers. This would do numbers on tumblr

my personal assistant who’s the geeky guy from national treasure: uh buddy, you’re not gonna believe this

me: so they’ve found me. Get in the car beautiful, it’s time we blow this popsicle stand

i realized i should've shared the story for this, haha. i was looking out my car window one day whilst driving and under some mature trees, shapes only visible as silhouettes in the shadows, there were birds. and the way they held their tails and walked around bobbing their little heads almost made me start crying. good thing i was at a stoplight! i was so overwhelmed with beautiful dinosaur thoughts i almost forgot to start driving again lol. anyways, IMMEDIATELY when i got home, i sketched out a thumbnail along with what i could remember of their shapes. anyway, the dinosaurs of today fascinate and bewilder me and NOW i swear im done w this post lol

a new acrylic painting of mine :) called "Sparrow"
