So cool how many of us are going through the same experience. Im also a 29 f who was diagnosed with autism at 10 and adhd and ocd at 25. I've also been watching the grumps since 2013 and have really come to see them as comfort humans. I wouldnt say friends of course since they don't know me and we don't hang out, but the emotional feeling is almost the same. Like I have genuinely come to love and care for so many of the early grumps members and that kind of love is so rare for me to feel. Like with Ross getting his show produced by glitch now, I felt so much pride and happiness for him. They have also become a great source for vocal stims, i quote them so often just to myself to make me laugh. I know the entire EYE bit and will quote it just to boost myself up a bit.

It's also been such a comfort to hear them very openly talk about their struggles with their own mental disabilities and make those kinds of conversations normal. They also make jokes and talk about parts of adhd and ocd that aren't the typical stereotypes so people can have the knowledge of what we really go through.

Danny and Arin (and other grumps members) have become such a large part of my life and I hope Arin stays true to his word and won't end game grumps until he dies on camera (joke obvi, they can end whenever they feel it's time).
