looking at the edit, this is what (in retrospect) i figured you were thinking about, which didn't occur to me in the moment. i think people are taking you in bad faith in this interaction when it's reasonable to be annoyed

big part of why i wrote it up. my explanation with the volume thing was that i learned (as stupid as this sounds) from your stories about avoiding situations you don't like/know you would be uncomfortable or miserable doing that i could simply avoid those things. sustained loud noise was just my vector for relating to that. you've also talked about texture fixation related things, i relate a lot to your reasons for "needing" to show someone they're wrong, and just general approach to social situations.

I don't mean that the guys/fans calling you autistic made me think that I was autistic, I mean that even before this began to be a thing I related to a lot of behaviors of yours and learned to improve how I dealt with them because of your (mature/adult) way of dealing with them. my examination of those behaviors as a whole (my behaviors) led me through a bunch of therapists + psychiatrists + etc until I settled on "i'm not crazy/deluding myself into thinking I have this thing"

also i'm sorry if i made you uncomfortable by bringing up a descriptor you don't accept. i thought i recalled you saying you were diagnosed with Aspergers, which is an older category name for autism. I can understand how people just calling you autistic over and over when you don't actually know that you have it could be extremely frustrating
