ITT: pros and cons of having autism
>>29515380
real autism or meme autism?
Anything non cringe worthy that you enjoy that others consider autistic is good.
When I was younger (maybe 9 or 10) I used to scream in the middle of class. Sometimes for literally no reason (or at least I don't remember the reason) but most of the times because my pencil broke or my drawing didn't turn out the way I wanted it to.

Pros:
Can become an expert in your autistic interest
Think more "independently" (read as eccentric weirdo that shits in bottles)
Don't need human contact as much
Cons:
Your autistic interest is anime
Get stuck in autism traps and waste away your life
Life can easily overwhelm
Don't need human contact as much
Walking down a hallway with a person coming the other way slowly is very stressing

Pros:
>When you get autisticly focused on something you're so single-minded that you forget about the pain of living
Cons:
>When you're not focused on something you remember you have Autism and will never have a happy life like chad
Unsure if I have autism or not or just introverted
I like talking to people I know and to large groups of people about ideas and such, but I'm shit at just initiating social dialogue.
Or talking to girls who I don't know well.
