I've taken one of these before but

I just Scored a 37, which is like a point or two off from the last time...

either way, what a shocker, considering I was diagnosed ASD today

I have high functioning autism (public about that) but I still have trouble getting along due to my personality which I can't seem to fix.

"I usually notice car number plates or similar strings of information."

Like, if a license plate spells out a dirty word or like 666 or something i'll be like "heh lookit that", but i dont like sit there and say like "hmm, DWJ, huh? "

You know, I've had someone say to me "blublublubblu i was feeling s-----y and then I looked up at a number plate and it was 'GOD' God and Jesus love me and r trying to save me blublublub."

You know how hard it is to explain that your brain automatically see's bits of information and tries to group/relate it to other things. Like I tried telling him he probably see's a million variations of 3 letters everyday, he's bound to see "GOD" eventually. I don't give a s--- about his religion, but when someone says something IRL that's wrong, I feel a need to step in and say "no it's actually..."

turns out i'm just a hater idiot.

it varies but...

interactions both social and otherwise can be sort of f----- for a variety of reasons, interests are generally extremely limited (in my case to music/visuals), and learning doesn't come the same way for me as others.

I have however gotten better over the years with picking up on things than I use to, and that's in part due to a lot of very hard life lessons and burnt bridges, and also because I'm just a very logical person by nature. I typically analyze the f--- out of situations/people now the second I'm dealing with them, and figure out how to act accordingly, but ASD (idk why I was abbreviating it wrong earlier) still sort of ruins a lot of things for me and stuff can still spiral out of control sometimes... tho a lot of times it can be because of my anxiety and depression

You have autism man? I'm about to send you a PM concerning autism... I gotta ask you something.

 

Jan 20, 2016
