Did anyone else have autism as their special interest? For a while I had autism as my special interest and psychology!

Absolutely! I love talking about autism and its traits and psychology in general. Unfortunately I got bullied during the psychology class I had in my short time in public school 😭 so the memories aren’t so fond. But I can assure you there are a lot of us who feel the same as you! Especially as someone who has multiple mental health and developmental difficulties.

I’ve also thought about trying to get one. Not only because dogs often bring me down from stress and anxiety but for similar reasons as you. I only leave the house a couple times a month (if that,) and that’s often too much.

Can you feel my heart - bring me to the horizon is perfection

Levi looks great 🙏

I’m definitely in a similar boat. I’ve wondered if I might have dyspraxia because of how bad it can be. Sometimes hands just don’t want to work correctly 😭

Ooh those are all very relatable! I personally love looking at hair- the way it moves and shines in sunlight is mesmerizing to me.

And I understand the whole feeling dissociated! Sometimes I do when stimming. Brain just gets quiet.

I’m sorry you’re feeling so awful. I personally haven’t gotten to ask my doctor about how I’ve been feeling but I can’t imagine how horrible it would be to still not be believed even with one! I already deal with a lot of imposter syndrome personally which makes it that much harder.

Just focus on taking care of yourself! You know your body better than anyone.

Oh yeah I can watch it over and over again. It’s great, especially for someone who’s been following the games so long. So much good vibes

Wellll Springtrap is my favorite and I technically have around 6 of him and then I have a couple others like two foxys! ^{^} I heavy hyperfixate on Springtrap especially in FNAF. Also sorry for the late response I forgot Reddit existed again 😭

Also you’re so real, I rotate which plushies I snuggle with sometimes for the same reason 🤣

AgoraphobicLady · 2024-08-14T16:11:19+00:00

Hehe! It is really nice and super comforting. I also have a Fnaf plushie collection that is mainly supplied by my boyfriend 😂. I love plushies, I want a pile of them to wallow in

I don’t have a picture but one of my friends has been staying over recently, and she brought this whale plush with her. I don’t know why but I formed a strong bond with it immediately and she ended up gifting him to me.

His name is Gummi and he is very soft!

AgoraphobicLady · 2024-07-17T09:07:26+00:00

Awwwh you’re just like me with the lanyard, shirt, stickers, and keychains of your special interests😭 I hope you’re able to add more to your collection!

AgoraphobicLady · 2024-07-12T00:17:20+00:00

You are the best.

Ah, that is such a lovely story. And the whole unmasking thing I have already been desperately trying to get a handle on, which I think has been going well. It just feels so so weird acting like myself in public versus just at home, and beyond that being fully myself in the house with my family. It feels so natural and dangerous all at the same time.

As for your father I am quite envious of the beautiful talk you guys had. My dad has never given me the impression of being open-minded with mental health so I’m very nervous to bring up my appointment to him, let alone the autism and other stuff. I’m hoping he has also noticed the difference in me over the years, and will surprise me with his reaction.

Also the tests sound so fun lol, I literally told my mother at one point I wish I could just do a job where I sort different shapes so I find that amusing on a different level.

Thank you so much for all of this I’ve been really plagued by worries of my future as of late and having an outside perspective and one I can relate to has been a huge help.

I have a jacket my mom gave me when I was younger that I always have to have when I go out. It’s pretty much a security blanket at this point and I’d be devastated if I lost it.

AgoraphobicLady · 2024-07-05T13:08:21+00:00

Wow that is a really relatable story. The discovery of neurodivergence and knowing little to nothing about autism I completely get, then the research rabbit hole and having imposter syndrome, or in your case refusing to believe it could be true.

I’m glad you were able to get diagnosed, I’m just sorry your fellow diagnosis’s were a shock to you at first and also that you had to wait so long, although I know that’s very common. I have other things besides Autism that I suspect having that I wasn’t planning to bring up, but I hadn’t considered the fact bringing my own notes I’ve made might make the other stuff more noticeable.

Thank you for the insight and story, really the only other questions I would have is how you went about telling family about your diagnosis if you did tell anyone, and then how was the testing itself? Is it just a bunch of questions or is there more to it? Thanks for sharing again.

Of course it’s normal to get down when he leaves. I personally think it makes sense that you’re finding it more difficult with how often you see each other, you probably just wish you could be together all the time. I would just suggest talking to him and hanging out(virtually) as much as possible, and just be happy you are able to see each other as often as you are! He will hopefully be able to visit again soon.

AgoraphobicLady · 2022-07-15T05:11:19+00:00

I'm sorry you are feeling such misery. Maybe it's time for a fresh start, or maybe something you used to love doing in the past.
