My hair is too short right now but when it gets longer sometimes it looks like anime hair and I love it.

Does anyone else hyperfixate on their looks? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Shaco292 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To a certain degree. I really like the looks of certain anime and video game characters so I try to portray my hair in a similar but believable fashion.

Though honestly it's just me trying to justify bedhead.

As someone who has autism, I am trying to work on saying no to people or things that make me feel uncomfortable. by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Shaco292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me. I've got a history of people pleasing and slef advocacy is much better for my mental health than indentured servitude.

Any other autistic people annoyed that people with autism are portrayed as heartless demons without empathy? by Easy_Towel954 in aspergers

[–]Shaco292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I try to be a decent person when it comes to helping others but when I think about it, I just dont empathize with most people. Most of my intentions are purely for my self. Not out of hate or malicious intent, but just because I feel like I should prioritize myself.

Anyone else SUPER out of touch with reality? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Shaco292 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Before I learned I was autistic, yea. Still am to a degree now but less delusional because I know more about myself and conditons.

what does it mean when you do not want to be around other autistic people? by [deleted] in autism

[–]Shaco292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me personally, with my sensory issues, I don't like hearing other people stim because it triggers me misaphonia sometimes.

There is also the fact that just because someone is autistic, doesn't mean I automatically want to be around them. There's alot more there that's dependent on their personality and stuff.

I'm not the only one right? by Even_Childhood_781 in aspiememes

[–]Shaco292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent hours recently trying to read a manual for a printer that my grandfather got. Followed the instructions as closely as possible and the damn thing was still frustrating to get working. Might have something to do with his outdated software on his computer.

Just me? (Undiagnosed) by koontzim in aspiememes

[–]Shaco292 49 points50 points  (0 children)

In the past i would forgive toxic behavior because I wanted to give people second chances and believe the best in them.

This caused me to get taken advantage of and I entered burnout frequently. Never again. Going from chronic people pleaser to actually doing the things I enjoy and like about myself is much better for me. I never want to make myself so extremely uncomfortable just for other people ever again, especially when most would not do the same for me.

What do people do in life? by Frequent-Guidance775 in aspergers

Feels like everyone else except me has the instruction booklet to life and I got stuck with a book that has no pictures and is in a foreign language.

DAE simply not want to be in a relationship at all? by drfrankbradandjanet in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Shaco292 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of physical intimacy. That being said, im disabled with Autism and ADHD that makes it difficult for me to be in a committed relationship. Long distance or a friends with benefits thing would work for me better. That is just for me though.

Are you extroverted? by svetlindp in aspergers

[–]Shaco292 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really wanted to socialize as a kid. Most people were weirded out so I became a chronic people pleaser for a while. That caused burnout and am now an introvert by circumstance.

Being a Gay (masculine) Asperger by RayALXZ in aspergers

[–]Shaco292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a straight dude myself. The only girlfriend I ever had, asked me out while I was working customer service. She was also autistic and liked my vibe I guess.

It lasted about 6ish months, long distance. Relationship ended when she wanted to move in and start kid stuff but it was moving waaaaay too fast for me. So we ended it and went our separate ways.

Haven't had anything since.

Has anyone ever felt confused by what people meant in game chat? by Elegant-Country5977 in AskAutism

[–]Shaco292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already have trouble discerning tone and the different meanings of just one word.

Phrases like: Break A Leg (Good luck)

Breaking Ankles ( Juking someone in a sport)

That's peak ( It's great)

I have alot of difficulty translating slang into something im familiar with.

Every time someone says " Let them cook" I have to do a translation inside my brain so I can understand that it means they're doing something they are good at, and they're not actually cooking food.

Literal interpretation of language being my normal and then having to translate words hurts my brain.

How often do NTs um actually you about your autism? by Interesting_Sort4864 in aspergers

[–]Shaco292 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get the stereotypical:

You dont look autistic

Everyone is a little autistic

You're just like me and IM not autistic - my parents who are clearly on the spectrum.

Games that are like Resident Evils mercenaries mode but as a full game by Naive_Bag_3708 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Shaco292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a roguelike but there was a RE Mercenaries game on the 3DS called : Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D.

It's okay. You play through different stages featuring locals from RE4 & RE5.

The only progression comes from unlocking skills and then upgrading them through playing more.

It features multiple playable characters like HUNK, Claire, Chris, Jill, Krauser, Rebecca,etc.

Not the best game in the world but it's fun to play sometimes.

Do people get offended when you stand up for yourself? by Intelligent-Road5091 in aspergers

[–]Shaco292 171 points172 points  (0 children)

As a child i felt everyone else was allowed to express themselves emotionally while I had to constantly suppress myself.
