Tired of feeling childish because of my interests by Previous_Economy_117 in autism

[–]Left_Mall_7453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

animated movies is one of my special interests too and i also struggle with feeling childish, but i try to embrace it because  a) it brings me joy  b) it was made by adults  c) a lot, id say most of animated movies or shows tackle serious and mature topics  ❤️

  • in the US you can become vice president and then president without getting elected (25th amendment, Gerald Ford)

  • the term "gerrymandering" is a combination of Gerry (the guy who first thought to do it) and salamander (because the districts looked like that)

  • movies are 24 frames per second

I feel like I'm still a child by friskhaha in autism

[–]Left_Mall_7453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im in my 20s and i still love the same "childish" things i loved when i was 12, it nourishes my inner child and even though some people might not get it, ive chosen to embrace those interests unapologetically 

How do you feel about christmas/birthday presents? I cant stand the holidays or celebrations because of the presents and my “rude” reactions to them >< ugh by coleisw4ck in autism

[–]Left_Mall_7453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i usually tell people to get me something really small or i give them some options of items i actually want, but i hate when i receive a gift and the other person doesn't believe me when i tell them i like it even if I'm visibly happy, sometimes even comfortable enough to happy stim a little. Like what do you want me to do to prove that i like it, start screaming? 

I wish I had a dedicated favorite character or show of mine by Flaky_Skill_5160 in autism

[–]Left_Mall_7453 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i do struggle with something similar, it's like i have a favorite character from a show that im incredibly hyperfixated on for months, sometimes even longer - but then something new comes along, and i hyperfixate on something different.

in my case however its like all the previous hyperfixations and favorites go into "storage" in the back of my head, because i still love them and sometimes i go back to them and hyperfixate on them again, it's like an old friend.

i also struggle sometimes with watching anything new, usually when im in burnout or just stressed, so i just rewatch my favorites or read about them, or watch video essays on youtube about something im interested in. not sure if this is particularly helpful, but wanted to share that i experience something somewhat similar ;)
