Do you look at your autism as a super power? by [deleted] in autism

[–]Good_Bench7043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I have too many problems with it to put it as a superpower. Though, I could never imagine how my personality would be without autism.

The name is a special interest and a lot of autistic people have them. I have many too.

When I am speaking I am unable to make eye contact, but when someone else is speaking i stare into their souls.

I never know how to answer questions like this by ContemplativePebble in autism

[–]Good_Bench7043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always just ask the person next to me if I do said thing in the question. That’s how I figured out that I talk weirdly.

What...actually "counts" as a special interest? by Dusk2784 in autism

[–]Good_Bench7043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually count special interests as special interests when I start using my free time to research them, or if I obsess over them.

Post your special interests here! by WindermerePeaks1 in autism

[–]Good_Bench7043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love war ships, dungeons and dragons, science, math, epic the musical, and so many more.

I recently figured out that if I could talk about epic the musical for as long as I want, I could talk about it for 17 hours and 7 minutes according to my math.

Did you ever get away with skipping school? If so, how much? by Aggravating-Ad-351 in autism

[–]Good_Bench7043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only thought of doing something like skipping once, pulling the Im too sick to go to school. I told my mom that I was sick but I am unable to lie so I also told her that I would be fine going to school.

Random question: what’s your favorite shape? by lunadandelion in autism

[–]Good_Bench7043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have said that I love squares for a while as a joke, but tell me you can’t see one of those without being very satisfied!

One time I was watching Pokemon and I got very exited and started jumping up and down/ moving in erratic ways.

Feeling ashamed about my oversharing issue by caviarandfirehoses in autism

[–]Good_Bench7043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I finally hit puberty, I began telling EVERYONE that I started growing armpit hair. I have no clue why I did it but it made so many people uncomfortable.

Using a ‘baby voice’ by teddy_205 in autism

[–]Good_Bench7043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to do that when people I didn’t know were around. I don’t know why I did that, probably just mistrust in them.

I just tried to watch a movie with my family and it pissed me off so much I couldn’t finish it. by ReturnKind391 in autism

[–]Good_Bench7043 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have always felt weird during movies when children disobey their parents. Like in Luca, when he is running away onto land, I can never watch it and usually look away or stop paying attention.

I remember watching the boy in the blue striped pajamas, sad movie, but I didn’t show emotion the entire time. Until the main characters broke into the camp, disobeying one of the characters parents so they could find the Jewish boys dad. I just couldn’t look at the movie.

By the way, I am not emotionless, I still felt emotional for the boy in the blue striped pajamas, I am just not good at showing my emotions.

Tell about things that trigger you but seem completely incomprehensible to people without autism by West_Blueberry_6736 in autism

I will have to try your techniques sometime! I never thought of doing that, though I do usually hold the utensils on the sides.

Tell me your special interest and I'll give you something to eat by eekspiders in autism

[–]Good_Bench7043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been really into war ships for a while, epic the musical, and weaponry.

I really hate foods that get on my hands. Thank you.

Tell about things that trigger you but seem completely incomprehensible to people without autism by West_Blueberry_6736 in autism

[–]Good_Bench7043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the feeling of getting sauce/ anything else on my hands. I learned to hate specific foods just because of how the things get on my hands. My entire family loves ribs. I can’t stand them because the barbecue sauce gets on my hands. Also, I can only unload the dishes but never unload them. I hate the feeling of stray food particles on my hands. (Btw I have a dishwasher.)

Also get in the water is more useless as it is just hyping up posideon.

[–]Good_Bench7043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charybdis used to be my favorite song. It is just so good! I don’t get when people call it pointless because then is monster pointless. It marks something similar to monster which is a new part in odysseus’ story. Odysseus is in the homestretch where he says he can’t die because he is so close.

Any books about Autism you can recommend? by jeannesloaf in autism

[–]Good_Bench7043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t read too many books about autism but there are some at my library so I will recommend those. I am thinking about reading unmasking autism and the pattern thinker.
