chat thread for autistics & neurodivergents ♡

Grabbity grab, that phrase is now in my vocab.

Hi! I am Gekko/Kit, and I think I am autistic (or at least some flavour or neurodivergent), but I don’t have a diagnosis yet. :/

My interests are snakes, drawing and warrior cats! Things that trigger me are loud noises, flashing lights, and piano jazz music (only if the piano has the tune for the majority, and only if there are no lyrics). I also tend to copy the movements and mannerisms of people I see in real life and in fiction.

(Idk what to put here)

Very relatable! Not so much about the theatre part, I’ve never really been good at acting (although once I played ripoff chewbacca in my end of primary school play) For me, I’m probably a mixture of my real life friends and like 10 random anime characters lol

Edit: Primary school is the UK equivalent of elementary school btw

I’m blanking a little, but Tokoyami from bnha and Mitsuba from tbhk immediately come to mind (even though they’re completely different characters)! As for little witch academia characters, I liked everyone tbh (apart from Diana’s family, they’re the worst)

I have to go to bed now because I have a test tomorrow, so bye!

sometimes i get so hyperfocused on a roleplay that i forget otd exists for a few days

I saw this and wanted to share it.

I want you to know that I'm not ignoring you and I fully intend to watch that video but I haven't had the attention span to do it yet, sorry.

Also happy one year to this thread

One year? what the hell this thread was made like a month ago.

time isnt real

i'm in these pictures and i dont like it

I realize I've lurked on this thread a little bit for some time but never actually introduced myself lmao. Regardless, hello! I was diagnosed when I was 17 with Aspergers (previously thought ADHD) and labeled high-functioning, though I think the term is just referred to as autism. I'm just a minimum wage retail employee with really bad people skills and some form of an anxiety disorder. I've been told I'm a bit of a sarcastic ass, but it's something I'm aiming to work on.

I have a lot of special interests, but the ones off the top of my head are worldbuilding, writing (characters, events, locations, etc), ASoIaF, The Witcher, The Elder Scrolls, God of War, Warriors (obviously), Vinland Saga, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Critical Role. I'm also a huge history nerd (more specifically ancient history to about the late middle ages, but it varies!) and a fan of many other things but they're escaping me.

theres a discord I don't normally chat in, i just lurk because it's for my friends art and i want to support them, but this morning they started streaking hellraiser 2 so i came out of the woodwork to be... Very Extremely Normal About It.

They're still watching them they're on to 4 and I'm so excited to be spending my day like this with my friend.
