I still had in my room and played with my legos, playmobile, hotwheels, plastic army men and stuffed animals and other toys up until I was about 17 or 18yo. It wasn't even my idea to put them in the attic, I was just too timid to say no when my mom decided it was time to put them away for good.

Developing a score system for sports I can play on my own and then having tournaments based on it.

I usually try and differentiate teams by having them use different tactical styles (i.e. more attacking or a tendency to play it safe when they have a lead)

I also try to avoid getting too attached to the story of a team so I don't end up playing in a biased matter.

I record a lot of results in excel and usually spend a bit of time doing a "pre-match analysis" based on overall records and recent matches.

I wanted to stress that it wasn't just meme autism
>>
>>26122694
I used to up until like thirteen when I just kinda caved into social pressure and threw out most of my old toys.

I still get the urge to buy a couple packs of them from the dollar store sometimes and set up shop. I remember there's a /tg/ homebrew out there to play with them as a skirmish dice game and if I had someone autistic enough to play it with me I would in a heartbeat.

You should start playing with them again.

There is no reason to be ashamed. People that judge you for enjoying something so trivial are horrible human beings in the first place.

Go buy a pack of army men and have fun/set up photo-shoots or whatever. You can probably do it better than before now that you're older.

>>26123332
I would do that with my older brother before he got too old for it. we would set up a battlefeild in the sandbox complete with little trenches and fortifications, set up the plastic army men, cover cotton balls with vasaline, and then took turns lighting a cotton ball on fire and throwing it at the enemy. Sometimes we would even build bases out of balsa wood including barracks and watch towers.

Not too autistic. When you're drawing these up you're probably imagining things that happen in these imaginary places. Kind of like creating a story from a map instead of characters.

Is it realistic for all of these land masses to be almost parallel though? They all look pretty good individually except Xue Tu. I think a strip of land looks weird unless it's really mountainous.

Considering this is your hobby you probably know more about making fictional maps than I do though.

>>26124056
No, unfortunately. I don't know what happened to my license plate number collection. I think my father probably threw it out in one of his cleaning rages. He would get pissed off sometimes and just throw things in my room into the trash. He did it to my brother too. It was never to anything really valuable. But he didn't really look at what was on the papers he would throw out. Plus, if he did, I doubt he would have realized what it was and it's significance to me at the time (he was rather oblivious to a lot of things).

I always wanted to get into drawing but I couldn't git gud.

Not one thing in particular but I tend to get into something and get really obsessive over it. I learn everything there is to know about my current hobby.
When I was young I collected salt and pepper shakers and knew what year each of them were from
I got an interest in guitar and became a music theory nut, learning as many scales as I could, doing finger exercises, alternate picking exercises. I would theory craft guitars on custom guitar ordering websites over and over.
When I played mmos regularly I would constantly be looking up build guides and leveling tricks, techniques etc and would progress too fast for my friends, ending up being the only one playing anymore.
Reading this it doesn't seem too autistic but I'm pretty sure it's some form of ocd. I literally can't get into something without going all the way.
I'm currently moving past my dota 2 obsession and am building an interest in playing drums. I think my meticulous approach will lend itself favorably to something rhythm based.
>>
>>26124856
Haha, nice, thanks. You mean you'd like to hear one of the recordings? Or a story of something weird that a stranger has told me?
>>
>>26124887
i know a couple of people like this, actually. do you completely abandon something once you've learned all you want to know? i ask because that's what these guys do. they'll be on something for awhile, completely obsessed with it, then they'll drop it for the next thing.
>>
>>26124887
This is definitely the brighter side of "autism" (the term is used very, very loosely here... but it's interesting that people who seem different in an autistic way tend to be drawn towards certain interests.)

...you know, the endless capacity to learn or work on something, even if it's seemingly pointless or impractical. I think that's how autists through history write dictionaries and solve equations and shit.

I guess the fact that autistic interests go against social norms contributes to the "anti-social" aspect of aspergers/the "autism spectrum".

You and me seem to be a lot alike. I don't consider myself to be the smartest person around, but I definitely do feel like the obsessive trait makes me somewhat gifted. The downside to it from my personal experience is that it's just so fickle. And that when I get pulled out of the obsessive/fixated zone, I tend to get this feeling of "what the fuck am I doing with my life".

Not the one you're replying to but I felt exactly the same thing.
I can spend a lot of time reading and researching a thing but I tend to lose interest because my life is so unstable so I feel like I shouldn't be wasting my time.
Until I find something new.

I recently even taught myself knitting.

I'm 18 and I still collect lego, star wars lego specifically. I also started a collecting fountain pens pretty recently

I am really into treasure hunting. What I really want to do though is buy a good camera to make a movie with, and then hire (for low pay) actors from my local university for the films I write. The first thing I want to do is make a treasure hunting-themed (think national treasure on a budget) movie on the islands in my state. I also have an idea for a Band of Brothers style mini series about the Roman conquest of Gaul, that follows a Legion and a small group of men in it.

A cyberpunk neo-noir detective story would be badass too. Now I just need the money, since what's left of my summer wagecuck bux isn't going to cut it.

I take cringeworthy photos and film even more cringeworthy videos. Some of them would actually be adorable if I were 20 years younger or a girl.

I build model aircraft and tanks and stuff.
>>
>>26125103
Exactly... it's weird though. I mean, how could these things be a waste of your life if you legitimately get that spark when you do them?

For me, it's that I'm 22 and I still haven't started my career, so there's a feeling of guilt associated with doing things for free/for their own sake. It's my lack of social standing, in other words. I can work so hard at something and have nothing to show for it, at least in the eyes of other people. And if I ever do share my work, it seems so goddamned far-fetched to others that I simply feel embarrassed.

Oh well. We're gonna make it some day

Icehouse is a fucked up abandoned warehouse where I used to record music with some friends

It was an ice factory in the '40s. Like, they manufactured these massive ice blocks in it for shipping food on the railways.

I had a room in the "cold storage chambers". One of the weirdest experiences of my life. The entire situation was very sketchy, as the other occupants were obvious drug addicts. They used to do things like cut the extension cords running into my room, steal shit, and write weird occult symbols on the doors. And there was this mannequin of a little girl that was obviously handmade by some weirdo artist. It had a detailed vagina. So anyway the methheads would put this mannequin in random places around the building just to terrify us.

Was very fun nonetheless. The experience was a lot like the episode where Bart gets the deed to a warehouse. Riding skateboards around, staying up all night playing the drums, etc. Pretty sure that you could shoot a gun in the place and nobody would hear it.

I have been doing it as long as I have remembered. But I struggle with fine-motor skills so they always end up looking like crap. I prefer drawing it on paper, but there is no paper at home right now.

When I was younger I would draw them and make detailed info about each species/animal.

Back when I was a kid instead of playing video games or something I always opened Paint and made a bunch of dots with the spray can and I'd play some kinda war game. Different colors were different factions/armies. Bigger dots were tanks and helicopters and stuff like that. I'd use some colors for destruction or big bombs or something like black and used the eraser when someone just died normally. I made sound effects with my mouth the entire time and played through all kinds of scenarios. Always did it at home when I was alone and when we visited somewhere because every single computer had Paint installed.

Sometimes people came in and asked me what I was drawing. I said I'm just messing around, guess it's impossible to figure out what I'm actually doing unless you know.

alright, here it is

The light blue lands are ruled over by a self proclaimed faction of a goddess known as 'Her Vigil's Doctrine' It's a super religious land where witch burning and relgious practise is an everyday thing. They have very rigorous but ultimately benevolent values.

The gray area is owned by the rulers of the old world. they had far reaching power before a guy called keroin (a godlike being) came down and started a war and gave the power of magic to a select few (but that's all expository lore that I don't think I'll explain to much of an extent here), The imperious prime council is now a shell of it's former self, though they are the fairest of the factions.

The red lands are controlled by a splinter group of the imperious council, called 'The descendancy' they were pissed off at keroin, and basically everyone else too. they're just straight up evil motherfuckers etc.

the purple and green guys are The keroin priesthood and the sect of vastae respectively. once again, expository lore.

I stay in my bedroom all day every day, so when I leave my room I like to make a game of it.
I tie it into my more normal hobbies which are

1. Listening to national anthems
2. Drinking a range of teas
3. Reading about airports

So whenever I go downstairs and my family is in the kitchen, I play a national anthem loudly before I go downstairs. Then I offer everybody a cup of tea of a different type each time.

When I get back I write down the reaction to me walking downstairs, the reaction to my offer of tea, the general atmosphere in the room then I compare it to an airport I have read about in terms of which airport it is closest to.

Pic related is a classic example from a few weeks ago.

Do you know about geoguessr. It places you on a random street and you are supposed to guess where you are.

I like to make it into kind of an adventure, where I try to gather clues to find out what country and city I am in.

Usually I allow myself a few small helps, akin to a guide that somebody would take on an actual international journey. For instance, I usually allow myself a guide to different road signs from different countries and guides to reading foreign characters. My highest score was 24999, meaning I was able to pretty much pinpoint my exact location every time.

My only hard rule is that I do not allow myself to look up a city name in google, because that pretty much gives away where it is.

Its pretty comfy to just look at road signs from different states and countries and try to guess where you are.

I do like maps and stuff like other anons hve managed.

I've always been a huge fan of imagining massive cities built on alien planets and all that.

Likewise, I suppose the above, except fantasy is also fun.

My imagination is hilariously overactive so I'm always thinking about something fantastical. I still go through made-up scenarios in real life sometimes just for the fun of it.

I guess I'm also pretty paranoid and maybe schizo too.

He's stopping before he gets to his destination and it really hurts my autistic brain. Just thinking about the amount of incomplete journeys he's made in his life makes me feel giddy. In my view it's comparable to being blue-balled. It's not funny or clever, and it really rustles my jimmies

That's an entire year. A year straight, no sleeping eating shitting or fapping. Just playing a game. Holy shit how old are you

I am very into skin care. I don't wear makeup because that's too faggy, but I have a huge collection of sunscreen and moisturiser, face mask, chemical peels, serums, creams, cleansers, all kinds of shit. I use them religiously every day with specific orders depending on thickness and ph and the weather and shit. I won't leave the house even to put out the garbage without sunscreen.

I also have a giant shark in my bed. Better than a love pillow.

I programmed a random world generator with randomly generated maps, people and languages

The interface was completely in the made up languages e.g. it would come up with hundreds of lines of some random shit like "yewis boro 17#" (although not exactly because I can't post non-ascii text here) with an English to Language dictionary at the start and new words being added as time advances
