What is? The suspicion that one is the only one that does a thing? That would explain why everyone around here says they’re autistic. Never seen that on any other platform and I’m really interested in why.
My shrink disagrees. Anyway, that is a picture perfect snapshot of lemmy, “I’m a normal human but my normal quirks make me special. I have no exposure to people IRL and memes reinforce this belief. That’s SO autistic, LOLLOLOLOL!”
Any one symptom in isolation is often brushed off as simply eccentric. It’s the combination of dozens to thousands of these frictions, over a lifetime, that makes it a disorder.
Congratulations on being neurotypical, though; happy for you.
Yeah!! I was hooked up to SETI for years!
Man, sometimes watching the visualisations was better than using the computer.
Also, watching the disk defrag.

Both of those things were perfectly normal.
That is one of the operating modes of someone with Autism.
Everyone does this!
I’m the only person who does this!
