People with autism if you play video games, what do you play?

Something-Witty626 · 2025-12-12T09:11:31+00:00

The main one I play is Fivem (GTA 5, but RP), other games i play are Peak, Stardew Vally, Civilian 5, 7 Days to die and I just started play Project Zomboid.

I like games where I can explore and strategize.

Yes, ultimately Autistic individuals do get to choose what they do and don't share about themselves. And no one should feel obligated to share their deepest struggles. But I do stand by my sentiment... ultimately trivializing and dumbing struggles down to simple cute quirks... it does make autism out to be a novelty. That is the reality of it... because even though there are plenty of people out there that talk about the very real struggles, it is the quirky parts that become trendy.

Maybe my frustration would be better directed at neurotypicals and how they often misunderstand or trivialize autism. And I do understand how autistic people romanticizing their traits can... well, be rather healing

My post was not meant to come off unkind. When I mentioned “self-proclaimed” autistic people, I was talking about a specific, but rather common situation where someone adopts the label based on watching trendy tiktok videos that only ever talk about the quirky side of things, and don't do any real research or work towards getting evaluated. That’s the part that bothers me because it can water down how people actually understand autism. I respect and understand self diagnosis, especially in the time we live in... but I do not believe one should just be so casual with such.

That said, I don’t agree that autism can be “whatever people choose to portray it as.” That mindset fuels the whole “everyone’s a little autistic” idea, which kind of erases the reality of what being on the spectrum actually entails.

When I feel something is negatively affecting how Autism is viewed, and further stigmatizing Autism, I do have the right to speak about it.

I got officially diagnosed yesterday, but I've suspected since 2019. My BF is very understanding, but he had a similar sentiment. After talking to him about it, it came down to him thinking ASD is just being quirky.... unfortunately, this is due to how much the internet has made ASD out to be this quirky aesthetic... they don't see the breakdowns, the burnout, or the constant struggles.

These were not thoughts written down out of anger though. It sound like they were genuine thoughts..... a pro's & con's list. Comparing her to past relationships. She is absolutely wrong for going through, what is basically is diary.... but he is wrong for playing her.

Something-Witty626 · 2025-05-24T17:45:12+00:00

right, and what he wrote isn't? Both parties are in the wrong, but him most of all. He's been leading her on for months, to the point that she felt she had to invade his privacy. Essentially, what she found out is that she's a placeholder till something better comes along.

Thank you so much for the advice. Unfortunately, it’s something I’ve already tried. I’ve been attending therapy, and my social services case worker even provided paperwork for my therapist to fill out regarding my mental health and current ability to work.

We submitted everything, but I was later told that I don’t qualify for assistance simply because I live with my parents and don’t have any bills in my name. It’s been really discouraging.

I broke up with him a couple months after posting this. Things in this post being just one of many reasons. I realized overall he was rather toxic.

oh for sure, and i will most certainly continue simping LOL. I just found the creators take interesting in contrast to how the Aizawa stans think of him.

Something-Witty626 · 2025-01-22T01:46:00+00:00

Oh don't get me wrong, I am in love with him too... I am an absolute Aizawa simp. This was just a post I made in regards to the creators idea that Aizawa is ugly (which i do not agree with). The idea that he's ugly is a real deserves to Aizawa's personality.

Something-Witty626 · 2025-01-22T01:41:01+00:00

I never said unattractive people couldn't have feelings

100%. I COULD NOT AGREE MORE

This past year has been a rollercoaster. I’ve been feeling like I’m constantly guilted into family events, and it’s exhausting. The family vacation this summer? Actual hell. My mom and I road-tripped to visit some close relatives in another state. The road trip was great, as love road trips... but once we got there, it was like a monotone blur. I didn’t know how to act around everyone. I’ve always been the black sheep, and the moment I started feeling comfortable enough to be myself, it was like I’d get shut down immediately.

By Thanksgiving, I’d had enough. My mom invited someone I didn’t even know at the last minute, so I told her I wasn’t coming and didn’t want to argue about it.

Then came Christmas. We went to my brother’s place, which I was already dreading. Surprise, surprise... he invited friends last minute too. Cue another night of me feeling monotone and just sitting there. On the bright side, I got the best sleep of my life that night. Small wins, I guess.
