I might be autistic

[DarkAries]

So...

I looked up the sympthoms, and I was overly skeptical, since I feel like it would just make every unique or great man just sick in some way or another, and now they arent geniuses just some sick weirdos. Well sadly some list are true for me, I learned to read on my on very early, had and have few friends, prefer being alone, rather than socialising, have a very black and white kind of thinking, critically good memory and imaginary, sometimes oversharing, spended a big portion of my childhood daydreaming, socialising feels tiresome and redundant for me, and so on. But heres the catch, I never had sensory problems and only a normal emotional and communication struggle as a child, which vanished. If we would look how I was in childhood I would ve something like the HFA, but Im a lot less there now and fuck... the whole idea, that I wasnt smarter, better, unique, just ill in another way would be completly devastating, even just thinking to it. It would mean Im not above avarge human, just messed up from the start...

Most of the population would be autistic based on what you think autistic means.

You have no problem, brother. In fact, you are a very normal and healthy person. Don't look at these "symptoms," they are just a lie most of the time, and will prevent your improvement via hijacking your mind.

A bit offtopic but "autistic superpowers", like superpowers that some actually autistic or so called autistic person might have is achievable, they just have a certain part of the mind open that most people doesn't.

I'm pretty sure I would've been labeled autistic if I were born in america

I know that feeling. I hate how the psychology industry is, so dehumanising. It's as if having an actual personality is an illness!

Autism even at what they call level 1 or Asperger's, if you face confrontations or socially stimulating situations, your entire energy system shuts down - you may feel the need to sleep immediately, even if you might not get sensory overload like more severe levels of autism. One might not understand social clues, sarcasm, and get deceived easily.

You may be just an introvert. I might have been such a child as well or maybe I could also be "diagnosed" as autistic, but I really don't care, everyone is born with some shortcoming one way or the other, and even if some of us here were autistic, power meditation and yoga does remedy all the more crippling effects of any condition.

This series depicts realistically what being autistic REALLY is like, I recommend for anyone interested in human wellbeing and such social topics:
