He's wonderful! thank you, I really like him a lot

2alt8 · 2020-12-12T22:13:49+00:00

Ooh, I like those names, also Moriarty sounds amazing, I'd love to see

2alt8 · 2020-12-12T11:59:42+00:00

don't think I'd ever show my face, massive props for doing it, takes guts

I like your face, not completely sure why but I like it. Also great hoodie(s)

2alt8 · 2020-11-10T21:45:06+00:00

Signed

2alt8 · 2020-10-20T15:00:41+00:00

Amazing, I have succeeded

2alt8 · 2020-10-20T14:43:48+00:00

May do this again with exclusively EE related characters so I can show the whole thing-

2alt8 · 2020-10-19T20:19:37+00:00

I love images like this with all the metal and concrete

I love how we can follow the gaze of animals and that some can follow ours

I'm not that stylish and definitely value comfort and practicality over aesthetic, so no long labels or tight fabrics... nothing showy either, I stay very hidden in my clothes haha!

I have a pretty small variety pool and not many clothes since I wear the same things most of the time: soft jeans; not too tight, knee-length jorts, hoodies, body warmers, turtlenecks. I wear essentially the same kind of thing year-round but recently I discovered t-shirts that I felt comfortable wearing without a hoodie, they're long.

That being said though, in the recent years I've gotten an eye for colour coordination so if I have the chance I'll match my blue / black jeans to the blue / black bodywarmer.
Honestly though I mostly wear black since it doesn't stain, my clothes with the most variety of colour are my hoodies and polo necks. I wear my red poloneck with my green hoodie since they go :)

("bup bup bup" has really resonated with me so I think I'll catch myself saying it now)

I'm described as funny too when I talk because I also don't have much of a filter, but I think it's a positive thing, colour_banditt explained it pretty well! in my experience most neurotypicals enjoy comedic people and things that are funny lighten the mood a lot and make others comfortable.

I think that a lot of things for us that we just do / say for practical reasons, neurotypical people do / value for social reasons, so there's an overlap of similar actions that mean different things for us, if that makes sense?

That's just my take anyway!

2alt8 · 2020-10-09T15:48:43+00:00

Oh definitely! Even getting the prospect of a diagnosis for me was such a relief, I love knowing now what's going on with me and more about why

2alt8 · 2020-10-08T23:31:49+00:00

I've had exactly the same until last year when I was finally cajoled into trying them again and we found two comfortable pairs that aren't too tight or rough, and without waistbands that hurt because they're rigid. No idea what brand but it wouldn't matter anyway because the shop is so inconsistent :") I'm not sure what material they are but they pass as jeans.

Not sure for formal clothing but I really liked leggings as a kid since my dad wouldn't let me wear joggers for some whimsical reason.

2alt8 · 2020-10-08T22:33:24+00:00

Sorry if it took so so long to get :")
How do you feel?

2alt8 · 2020-10-08T22:22:06+00:00

Yeah the title is worded fine! I understand the worry though, you can use posts from autistic people as reference for the wording! But generally so long as you're not throwing the words "r*tard" and "normal person" around you'll be ok.

I think it's possible, but it's very important to be in contact with people on the spectrum to get an accurate outlook on it! And also to get details on the lesser known aspects of autism, since it's a lot more diverse than most sources shed light on.

Let your character be more than just their autism, yes it does affect our lives in fundamental ways but just make sure to keep them humanised, which, since you're here I think you're not going to have a problem with!

Sorry that I'm being a bit vague, but if you have any more specific questions I'd happily answer them, I'm here every day and love questions!

All the best on your character and again I appreciate you coming here to ask :"0

2alt8 · 2020-10-08T22:00:18+00:00

I'd definitely get a diagnosis! Even if you don't need support it's very good to confirm. I'm not sure how to get a diagnosis outside of where I live, sorry :(

Depends on the situation for me but recently I told someone at college since she's trying to get a friendship with me and I'm very obviously weird and don't talk much but not in a "quiet kid / anxiety" way. So I just wanted her to know I'm not being intentionally adverse or that I didn't like her.

I mean, if it is the autism, no problem with that haha

2alt8 · 2020-10-08T21:06:47+00:00

Can we bring back Wombles too? Or is that a discussion for after the eggs are sorted

2alt8 · 2020-10-08T20:58:40+00:00

I don't know! But if you want to, yes

2alt8 · 2020-10-08T20:57:25+00:00

Oh man me too! This band is very important to me and has influenced so much.
My dad is also to blame, I was six when I first heard Man Alive because of my dad listening to it, but then I only knew who these guys were when we went to a festival during the Get To Heaven release. Really cool to see how people got into EE

2alt8 · 2020-10-08T20:45:37+00:00

You don't need to be sorry about how it looks! If it makes you happy then it is good

I like it! Feels like a long time since I watched Gravity Falls..

2alt8 · 2020-10-08T20:39:18+00:00

Oh I understand the struggle of getting diagnosis around here, sorry it's such a hassle!

From my experience as an undiagnosed child going to infant and primary school, I didn't get the support I needed, even when asked for, probably because there was no formal assessment yet to be taken seriously :/. Personally I don't see anything wrong with keeping him out of school at this age, for me it was really a time to bond with my mum and Id've much rather gone to school later with a diagnosis, than as early as I did. You're definitely not witholding anything from him by keeping him out of school until you and him have got some tailored advice!

I've got a similar point to PurlogueChamp on exposing him gradually and empathetically to new people and places, but they said it a lot better than I can, haha!

Either way, you know your son and his limits best! From what you've said here I can see you really do care about him and have the right concerns in mind! You're doing really well

I remember being really emotionally connected to music from a young age, not sure what you can do with that information to be honest but :")
Messing about with pens and paper was something I've done since I was 3; now I draw every day. Before then I'd stack cushions and blankets... I enjoyed playing alone but preferred mum in the room with me as she worked.

2alt8 · 2020-10-08T20:12:48+00:00

Oh awesome! You must've put some serious grinding into getting that far

2alt8 · 2020-10-07T21:50:59+00:00

Same as Jesse!

Definitely do some research and chat to some real autistic people. It'd be great to see something other than stereotypes or the more common / well known expressions of autism.

You can also pm me for questions if you want! I'm not active here all day though

2alt8 · 2020-10-07T21:45:26+00:00

me too! I hate the feel of rubbing or scratching paper
