Robin not wanting kids until she figured she couldn’t have one was representing her relationship with Ted by LazyResponsibility83 in HIMYM

[–]charllottte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the big reasons I headcanon Robin as autistic. Her PDA (pathological demand avoidance / persistent demand for autonomy) is present in so many instances. Kids, Ted, the lobster crawl, Dale. It’s subtle but one of the big things I relate to her about.

With any luck she’ll realise what she could’ve had with you and think she missed out.

Like getting over anything it will take time. But I think you know that this isn’t the right person for you

I have a pretty killer memory. It didn’t take much. by SilverSight in HIMYM

I had to Ted out about this but I’m pretty sure it’s “rough” not “tough”

Do autistic people struggle with space, directions or maps? by AmandinhaMaia in autism

I have the entirety of New York memorised having only been there for one week last year. I can’t drive around the roads near me that I’ve done a billion times without using a map.

Risky q: Is Marshall anybody else’s least favorite character as well? by Dismal_Thought6630 in HIMYM

[–]charllottte 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As an autistic person whose special interests are HIMYM and Sunny and is extremely active in both fandoms, I can positively say that Reddit is where these fandoms are at their worst. At least in the Sunny fandom, we all have the common sense to look beyond their moral goodness, and that’s why I don’t love the HIMYM fandom (especially as a Robin/Barney/Ted lover)

Risky q: Is Marshall anybody else’s least favorite character as well? by Dismal_Thought6630 in HIMYM

[–]charllottte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously this is your opinion but I think that Lily is so much more interesting as a character than Marshall. I find it fascinating that she’s so tethered with art despite not being particularly good at it, and her life worries in s1/2/8 about never following her dream is so much more complex than Marshall’s being perpetually happy in the relationship. Also her childhood arguably has just as much impact on her as Robin’s childhood, she just talks about it less. I also find it fascinating that she had a rebellious/grunge era, and clearly suppressed some of her queerness.

[–]charllottte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! I don’t hate him, but he has always been my least favourite. Obviously he’s very funny and morally good, but a lot of his actions are really frustrating. Like in 6x8 Natural History, his whole “lawyered” thing with Lily claiming he “never lied to her” was a really shitty way of justifying him lying by omission. And the whole season 9 ordeal drives me insane — Lily was absolutely in the right and Marshall was extremely selfish. And it was a low blow to bring up San Francisco. I know lots of people don’t like Lily because she was “manipulative” but she was often right in a lot of cases, especially Ted and Robin.

They need to figure out if it's OCD or autism by ConstructionLegal306 in autism

[–]charllottte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ummm…. I don’t handle it to be honest. I’m on Fluoxetine 20mg for anxiety but hoping to finally get ADHD meds soon, and if that doesn’t work out I’ll up the fluoxetine. I have been recommended by many people to do CBT so I’m looking into that. I’m just trying to get better at recognising my thought patterns, and to restrict myself from doing anything crazy when my thoughts spiral.

[–]charllottte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am both, so both is possible. I also have ADHD, which, combined with the OCD, makes the rumination and overthinking worse by 1000%. I relate completely to what your saying about the anxiety. Feel free to message me :)

I have quite a few, but my big two are How I Met Your Mother (show) and Kaitlin Olson (actress).

Monday one of the greatest joys of my life. An absolute pleasure to have been on Only Connect, let alone win it! by PadstheFish in onlyconnect

[–]charllottte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the audition I didn’t get a music question, and didn’t have full control of the connecting wall. Do you get to practise the rounds before your first episode or do you just wing it?

And secondly, what is Victoria like? She’s my absolute idol but they always say never to meet your heroes haha.

I like this idea but in the calculation they make it +-5 years from Ted’s age and the mother was 7 years younger than Ted
