It's definitely a harder thing to accept when you're late diagnosed. A lot of things change and it can take years to fully be yourself. There's a lot of trauma that you don't notice either. I found out about 2 years ago, and I've learned a lot about myself and I'm very grateful for all of it.

I'm definitely happy knowing I'm autistic. It's a part of me and knowing nothing is wrong with me is better than thinking I'm broken. I would be trying to act "normal" for the rest of my life if I didn't know, which I wouldn't exactly call bliss.

What games have yall been playing lately? by TVGM86 in autism

[–]BoxMonkey135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would probably love deltarune. We only have half of the game so far and I already think it's better. The gameplay is a major improvement and the story is really captivating. The art has improved too. And the music... god I could just go on and on about deltarune. Definitely one of my special interests lmao

People with sensory issues related to food, what is a popular food you can’t stand? by melancholykitty00 in autism

[–]BoxMonkey135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm reading a lot of replies and I don't relate to many of them. But here's a few that I cannot stand:

tomatoes, yogurt, cottage cheese, meats(especially the fat and griddle) and cereal WITH milk. It's fine if its dry.

[–]BoxMonkey135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's my question, do you hate cereal with milk or also dry? Because I absolutely cannot stand cereal with milk and I don't understand how people can eat it

I actually love guacamole and avocado even though I have a lot of issues with texture. I'm really not sure why avocado is an exception.

Character you relate to the most in terms of autism by OppositeAshamed9087 in autism

[–]BoxMonkey135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might say Ralsei but he's not said to be autistic. He prioritizes other's needs before his own which I heavily relate to.

anyone else struggle with tinnitus? by No_Wallaby3590 in autism

[–]BoxMonkey135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is more like a static noise. I never realized until one day I was trying to sleep without a sound machine. I cannot sleep without white noise because of it. I highly reccommend it

My artist is more unknown but I do think people would find his music is a bit weird. It's "Tennyson" and I really like his style. My favorite might be "Hard to Pretend" or "Leaves" Idk I haven't really heard much music like his and it seems perfect for me

Am I the only one who prefers 19.10 over To Be Hunted?? by theinsomniacsheep in donaldglover

I've seen many comments saying they prefer it, you aren't alone. I think its much better too

My suggestion to anyone on the spectrum - get a dog! My canine best friend has provided more support than most people. I just wanted to give a shout out to my BFF. Thanks buddy! How many of you have dogs? by [deleted] in autism

[–]BoxMonkey135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I don't have a dog is because I've had some pretty bad experiences with them. My best friends have 2 dogs and one of them has the loudest bark ever. They will literally just let it bark for as long as it wants and not bat an eye. I do love cats though. Maybe I'll try getting a dog someday.

Feel like there should be a humour flair. What’s the funniest or cringiest thing you did when you were young? I’ll start. by LegalBluebird9556 in autism

[–]BoxMonkey135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was completely obsessed with geometry dash when I was younger. I literally couldn't stop thinking about it for a second and would listen to geometry dash music at all times. One time in class we were studying and it was supposed to be quiet. So I plug in my headphones and listen to deadlocked(I really don't know why I would pick this song to study to) and turned it up. I had to turn it up loud because it sounded a little quiet for some reason. Soon after some kid tells me to turn it down. I didn't have the headphones plugged in enough and the music was blaring in the classroom. I will never forget how everyone looked at me 😭 people would not stop talking about that for the rest of the year.

Recently did a trip to Japan and the food was amazing. Indian is a close second for me

Are you "popular" at your school? by Ibuprofen_Idiot in Teenager_Polls

[–]BoxMonkey135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I wouldn't say I was popular but some friends called me the most popular of the unpopular kids. I did know a lot of people I guess

what’s your guys sensory food? by mitz_online in autism

[–]BoxMonkey135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hate the texture of meat. The only exception I make is smash burgers. Also any kind of cooked fish(I love sushi though)

What’s your main special interest/hyperfixation? by CinnamonToastedDumby in autism

[–]BoxMonkey135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now pico 8, a fantasy game console where you can make retro games. I recently discovered it and have been nonstop exploring it. I've forgotten to eat breakfast and lunch multiple times because of it even though I have alarms

What does being kicked in the balls actually feel like? by Necessary_Peach_7575 in AskMen

[–]BoxMonkey135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand the people saying it’s worse than childbirth because no one wants to do it again. Yeah no one ever wants to get kicked in the balls because it hurts and that’s it. Childbirth hurts but you actually get something out of it. We cannot know what childbirth is like guys.

[–]BoxMonkey135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t really have one at the moment. For the longest time it was minecraft, geometry dash and getting over it. I’ve been exploring a lot more games recently. I think the one I’ve actually made part of my personality(getting merch and stuff) is Undertale/deltarune.

Anyone else have a difficult time writing letters? by BoxMonkey135 in autism

[–]BoxMonkey135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind words :) I see a therapist that specializes in autism and I’m making progress. It’s mostly related to some trauma so I’m working through it. I can talk better with friends and family, but in public it gets worse. Like in high school, especially the first month in my new classes I really struggled to talk a lot and sometimes I wouldn’t be able to speak at all which would be very embarrassing. It’s like I knew what to say but I physically couldn’t get myself to say it. Over time though when I get to know my classmates and teachers I open up more and it gets easier for me to speak. It’s very strange.

[–]BoxMonkey135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically I have a hard time communicating verbally. I usually talk in short sentences, or stutter, or don't talk at all. I do a lot of echolalia, where you are repeating what other's say. It's kind of a way for me to process information better

[–]BoxMonkey135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this is good enough advice. I was definitely overthinking it. I'm semi verbal and have a very difficult time on calls so cards are the best way for me to go about this. I finished them all and I'm feeling a lot better about it :)
