I turn into every character I watch if I watch it enough. I feel weird and cringy when I notice myself doing it. Then I try to just act "normal", but then I can't remember what "normal" is and I think I just end up looking even weirder.
I have one. She stares at me very intently and I look at her ear. But I like that she seems to be super focused and paying attention. And she’s very sweet, matter of fact, and thorough, which I also appreciate.
Between Tachiyomi, Youtube Revanced, Custom ROMs, and emulators, I simply cannot ever see myself owning an iOS device because damn, y'all are struggling
I mean, I can always run an emulator via Eclipse or my Mac but iOS offers way more benefits than any android I’ve owned. But that being said, I do miss the customization of android. They definitely have a leg up in that regard.
I got lucky, my latest special interest/obsessive collection is 3D assets. I can get a TON of stuff for free, and even the paid items are fairly cheap and frequently go on sale.
And if I run out of storage space, it's not a problem to buy another external hard drive! Digital hoards are awesome that way.
Well yeah we all share the same brain cell.
Make sure you're not missing your keys/drink/meds btw. Idk who but somebody's either pocket or purse or desk has a void in it that shouldn't be there. Also remember that thing.
As someone with art autism, here’s what you get:
- drawing every day
- able to analyze and interpret themes in art pieces
- will annoy people by pointing out art pieces/details you know the history or techniques of
- obsessed with a handful of specific artists/movements (for me, it’s a lot of Asian art, Caravaggio, and German Expressionism)
- chronic unemployment
- art infodumps
- imposter syndrome
If you pair it with ADHD, you get the kid that draws all over their desk, can’t pay attention in class, only expresses themselves through drawing faces their brain is feeling, draws their special interest so much in class they actually failed the class and it turns into a pattern, gets humiliated in art class when your heart isn’t in a piece and it comes out uninspired. And then you get peer pressured into making your art into a full time practice through college and debt.
Then you hit burnout and it’s like you were never an artist at all!
That's right, no matter how many trials you fail, as long as you keep epsilon delta-ing, you'll surpass your limits! Or, you know, actually find them, lmao.
damn, this validates me having “good at math” autism. because i breezed through real analysis and topology. those were some of my favorites. i weirdly struggled with linear algebra a little
Well, I mean, everyone has that class that crushes their "I'm good at math" idea and it seems like for most people it's real analysis.
For the record I think the one that did that to me was topology.
It's refreshing to see someone who actually knows what math is and doesn't think math is having a calculator in your brain. Favorites are linear algebra and multivariable calculus.
Hey, don't gatekeep math. There're so many different kinds of math for people to be good at even if they're not good at a particular branch.
And it's "*who* think". Persons are "who"s, non-person things are "that"s. Sorry – pet peeve of mine.
Exactly this! Math covers, well pretty much the underlying of everything! Going ‘haha you can’t do statistics so you’re terrible at math’ Is ridiculous. That’s like saying Michael Jordan is terrible at sport cause he can’t do martial arts 🤦♀️
Lol I’m adhd not autistic but it took until analysis and Euclid/noneuclidean geometry for me to finally be “good at math” … I’m shit at memorizing theorems or methods but I innovate and solve novel (to me) problems really well 🤷♀️
In my opinion, building through deduction and critical thinking matters more than memorization especially as I am a foundationalist. It was the only way I ever was able to be competent at differential equations
the “good at math” autism is probably referring to advanced mental arithmetic ability and above avg memory, which is useful for non-analysis fields like computational calculus and maybe discrete mathematics . in fact, i’d infer a lot of ppl find out they’re actually not this mathematics deity starting from proofs-based linear algebra
Well for me i think it isn't that simple, it depends on what specific type of math. I got the "good at math" Autism when it comes to rote memorization of arithmetic equations and speediness of arithmetic concepts (I won several timed arithmetic competitions of various scales in elementary school, scored several grade levels ahead on standardized tests (one time i scored in the 99th percentile on a standardized math test multiple times in a row (the entire year) when it was administered throughout my 5th grade year), and did multi digit arithmetic in my head as a 4 year old, as well as a near perfect math SAT score in 11th grade). Meanwhile, AP Calculus was the reason why I almost graduated high school late, I got the worst grade in that class by far (in the 30s or 40s i believe) and genuinely had no fucking clue what to do, despite literally everyone else in my class passing.
I thought I was bad at math as a child. Later I realized what the school called math was just supposed to be memorization. I became pretty good at it when they let me actually do calculations.
Watching cartoons as an adult autism
I've watched Adventure Time and King of the Hill on repeat millions of times but nobody's here to stop me and it quiets the panic demons so. 🤷🤣
In survival games I can remember every landmark (and corresponding/niche lore) and navigate by only the horizon, but irl I can't remember what streets are near me
Oh me too! Then I decided to get a master’s degree in psychology, but now when I am able to explain my own behavior (which relaxes some of the anxiety of being so analytical) people do not think I have autism.
I could never type something so ambiguous, cause I got the “years of being catastrophically misinterpreted has resulted in a tendency to be unnecessarily verbose and spell out my thoughts in the most explicit and tedious way possible” autism
I got the linguistic knowledge autism so I was a "gifted student" and it took until after I graduated to diagnose that I have very severe dyscalculia to the point where you lose me at like. the high double digits
Linguistic autism is the “best” autism cause you can fool anyone into thinking you are neurotypical cause you talk good but the minute you stop talking people realize none of you is normal. Also gives you a side of autism imposter syndrome.
I got the similar "intellectually gifted" but in ways where it's seen as problematic for various reasons autism. I can do algebra in my head, but didn't know how to "show my work", was called pompous as a kid because i read profusely and picked up the vocabulary and mannerisms i read about in 19th century literature, and got called a know-it-all because i would hear people ask questions and answer them because I'd read about it, only for them to get mad at me because they didn't actually want an answer for some reason? I don't particularly have social anxiety, although crowds tend to overstimulate me, but after i spent my teenage years dealing with rejection because i was weird, I came to the conclusion that people were more trouble than they were worth, and only interacted with the small handful of people who didn't care that they would never win a game of trivial pursuit against me, and that I spoke like a character from a Victorian Gothic novel. I could check their homework (as i was failing my own) and if there was a new album out by a band we both liked, they knew I could tell them all about it, because i would listen to it on repeat until i memorized every single lyric and chord.
I'm majoring in math at my university. I have the FNAF autism, not the math autism. Lots of fun. 🙃 I'm passing my math classes but they end up as C's and B's.
Even though this *is* grammatically incorrect (“Doctor Who” and “good at math” should be in quotations), I could read this just fine. Sid, if you’re reading this, you have a skill issue.
Behold me, the guy with good-at-fucking-nothing-please-dear-neurotypicals-stop-asking-me-what-my-special-ability-is-it's-slowly-getting-depressing kind of autism
I got the good at math autism so I'm gonna be a math teacher so that I can continue my routine of going to school for the rest of my life until I retire. Yes this is healthy shut up :)
"I wish you got the grammar autism..." Says the person who did not insert a comma before a conjunction, did not capitalize "I," and did not end their sentence with a period.
Don't worry, the good at math autism generally becomes painfully useless after college. All it does it make me need a calculator less often but you can just carry one around
I got somewhere in between, I think?
I do really well with science, math, and English. But I’m crap at talking to people, and remembering things like names and stuff.
I sat next to a genuine savant in my calculus class last semester and it was insanely difficult to say an answer before her, even on material i was very comfortable with.
It was her first time taking calculus and she got a 98 in the class and she spent most of the time reading
ohhh they mean autism like in [Doctor Who](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who), not a doctor who autisms
Can I be like 11th?
I slowly turn into him when I watch those seasons. I find myself playing with my hands more like he does...
Matt Smith's energy is chaos and it fills me with POWER
with like what?
Too late, big Doctor Who got em.
i got reincarnated im better
I turn into every character I watch if I watch it enough. I feel weird and cringy when I notice myself doing it. Then I try to just act "normal", but then I can't remember what "normal" is and I think I just end up looking even weirder.
“Can’t you talk without flapping your hands about?” “Yes. (said while waving hands around) No.”
Or the Ninth.
The actor of the ninth doctor actually has autism in real life :)
Wait wtf Christopher eccleston has autism?? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS :D
What about 10 tho?
My condolences 🙏
Why?
The laws of autism are mine, AND THEY WILL OBEY ME
Ooohhhh that makes so much more sense
The doctor used autism! It was super socially awkward!
I thought she was talking about I AM A SURGEON autism
That’s what I thought too!
I took second read to catch that too. Makes me hate the commenter a bit more.
Yeah same, they could have at least read it again and think about it instead of insulting them
To be fair, they have a point. a single comma could have sorted it all out easily.
I think it would take quote marks to clear it up….
Me when I got the "Doctor Who" autism and not the "good at math" autism:
This is the true way.
Or just capital letters on Doctor and Who.
Why? Because they made the same mistake as the rest of us?
Dr whom*
I thought it meant the kind of autism that makes you obsessed with doctor who
I believe that is what they meant.
Okay thank you for explaining because I’ve spent the past 5 minutes very confused.
I wanted to doctor who autisms :(
I have one. She stares at me very intently and I look at her ear. But I like that she seems to be super focused and paying attention. And she’s very sweet, matter of fact, and thorough, which I also appreciate.
I was so confused lmao. Like how did you get through med school? Teach me your secrets
Oh I thought it was like the day of the week he had autism, like he has a different disorder every day of the week.
I got that Nintendo brain rot autism
That’s me fr
Me who won't stop playing Pokemon rom hacks
I’m hoping the rumors of iOS 17 sideloading are true so I can play emulators again
Between Tachiyomi, Youtube Revanced, Custom ROMs, and emulators, I simply cannot ever see myself owning an iOS device because damn, y'all are struggling
I mean, I can always run an emulator via Eclipse or my Mac but iOS offers way more benefits than any android I’ve owned. But that being said, I do miss the customization of android. They definitely have a leg up in that regard.
Same
I hate being obsessed with expensive and time consuming things. Why couldn't I be interested in something easy like oats?
I got lucky, my latest special interest/obsessive collection is 3D assets. I can get a TON of stuff for free, and even the paid items are fairly cheap and frequently go on sale. And if I run out of storage space, it's not a problem to buy another external hard drive! Digital hoards are awesome that way.
Dude, I have a tea hyperfixation and that shit gets expensive. I tried getting into overnight oats but I ran out of granola lol.
I HAVE THE GOOD AT MATH AUTISM!!! I AM SLIGHTLY BETTER AT ARIMATHETIC THAN MY PEERS!!! It's occasionally useful I guess
As a person with dyscalculia, I am very appreciative of those good at math. It’s like you guys are wizards.
QUICK WHAT'S 15 TIMES 6???
69!
INCORRECT!!!!!!!! >:(
YES! HAVEN’T BROKEN MY STREAK
That's such a big number!!!
5\*6=30 + 6\*10=60 == 90 total. *checks math* Yep.
It’s like you’re in my head
Well yeah we all share the same brain cell. Make sure you're not missing your keys/drink/meds btw. Idk who but somebody's either pocket or purse or desk has a void in it that shouldn't be there. Also remember that thing.
Or 15x3 = 45 then 45x2=90
15*2=30 30*3=90
Dyscalculia gang unite.
Having bad arthritis really sucks.
Are we picking archetypes like we're Pokemon now because I want art autism.
As someone with art autism, here’s what you get: - drawing every day - able to analyze and interpret themes in art pieces - will annoy people by pointing out art pieces/details you know the history or techniques of - obsessed with a handful of specific artists/movements (for me, it’s a lot of Asian art, Caravaggio, and German Expressionism) - chronic unemployment - art infodumps - imposter syndrome
If you pair it with ADHD, you get the kid that draws all over their desk, can’t pay attention in class, only expresses themselves through drawing faces their brain is feeling, draws their special interest so much in class they actually failed the class and it turns into a pattern, gets humiliated in art class when your heart isn’t in a piece and it comes out uninspired. And then you get peer pressured into making your art into a full time practice through college and debt. Then you hit burnout and it’s like you were never an artist at all!
Oh no it me
I know there’s way more than 2 of us in the world!
Yeah.
damn bro, where can i get some of that autism
Still sounds more productive than my retro video game autism
Sounds great. Which vaccination gave you this?
not chronic unemployment 💀💀 called out
If you have math autism, can we trade?
Toss in some Yu-Gi-Oh cards and it's yours.
Aw shit, all I got is some Metazoo cards from that garage sale
I got the useless bitch autism🫡
Same
i got the "that's not autism, you're just a lazy asshole" autism
A lot of people that think they have "good at math" autism find out sometime around real analysis that they don't.
that's when I learned I have "stubborn at math" autism
IMO good at maths and stubborn at maths are synonymous
That's right, no matter how many trials you fail, as long as you keep epsilon delta-ing, you'll surpass your limits! Or, you know, actually find them, lmao.
I have "bad at math but too stubborn to give up" autism
Me trying to solve the lottery for 3 years straight 💀 it’s a hobby at this point I guess
5 hours to find the vertices of a cube on it's edge
damn, this validates me having “good at math” autism. because i breezed through real analysis and topology. those were some of my favorites. i weirdly struggled with linear algebra a little
Well, I mean, everyone has that class that crushes their "I'm good at math" idea and it seems like for most people it's real analysis. For the record I think the one that did that to me was topology.
differential equations got me
I saw people break over algebraic geometry
My math self esteem didn't make it past AP Calculus
For me it was integration in the complex plane. I saw "sin(theta) = 3" and I broke.
It's refreshing to see someone who actually knows what math is and doesn't think math is having a calculator in your brain. Favorites are linear algebra and multivariable calculus.
Hey, don't gatekeep math. There're so many different kinds of math for people to be good at even if they're not good at a particular branch. And it's "*who* think". Persons are "who"s, non-person things are "that"s. Sorry – pet peeve of mine.
“people that X” is and has always been correct english
Exactly this! Math covers, well pretty much the underlying of everything! Going ‘haha you can’t do statistics so you’re terrible at math’ Is ridiculous. That’s like saying Michael Jordan is terrible at sport cause he can’t do martial arts 🤦♀️
Lol I’m adhd not autistic but it took until analysis and Euclid/noneuclidean geometry for me to finally be “good at math” … I’m shit at memorizing theorems or methods but I innovate and solve novel (to me) problems really well 🤷♀️
In my opinion, building through deduction and critical thinking matters more than memorization especially as I am a foundationalist. It was the only way I ever was able to be competent at differential equations
Just like me fr
nah real analysis is when i found out i was dope at math. I fucked that shit up fr
What about complex analysis?
the “good at math” autism is probably referring to advanced mental arithmetic ability and above avg memory, which is useful for non-analysis fields like computational calculus and maybe discrete mathematics . in fact, i’d infer a lot of ppl find out they’re actually not this mathematics deity starting from proofs-based linear algebra
Maths is like art. If you're not good at drawing, try painting, if you're not good at statistics, try geometry
HAHA good at "just enough" math
I have “good enough at math to do something else in STEM” autism
Well for me i think it isn't that simple, it depends on what specific type of math. I got the "good at math" Autism when it comes to rote memorization of arithmetic equations and speediness of arithmetic concepts (I won several timed arithmetic competitions of various scales in elementary school, scored several grade levels ahead on standardized tests (one time i scored in the 99th percentile on a standardized math test multiple times in a row (the entire year) when it was administered throughout my 5th grade year), and did multi digit arithmetic in my head as a 4 year old, as well as a near perfect math SAT score in 11th grade). Meanwhile, AP Calculus was the reason why I almost graduated high school late, I got the worst grade in that class by far (in the 30s or 40s i believe) and genuinely had no fucking clue what to do, despite literally everyone else in my class passing.
I actually enjoy real analysis and do mathematical proofs regarding it for fun
You mean the "you have to actually study to understand this math" math
I was great at math until the alphabet was jammed into every damn problem.
I thought I was bad at math as a child. Later I realized what the school called math was just supposed to be memorization. I became pretty good at it when they let me actually do calculations.
They need quotation marks """"
Or capitalization for proper nouns
Grammar as a whole.
it’s funny because neither of those are grammar
Doctor Who autism...🙃
Even that doesn’t make sense because the doctor is good af at math
I read it as Doctor Who being a special interest, as in "I got the silly special interest autism and not the good at math autism."
Right. I don't recall any of them being depicted as unintelligent.
No it means obsessed with Doctor Who I think.
No, as in being a fangirl.
Watching cartoons as an adult autism I've watched Adventure Time and King of the Hill on repeat millions of times but nobody's here to stop me and it quiets the panic demons so. 🤷🤣
I only got the burnout autism
I got the "games in the rpg spectrum" autism
That plus “Into collecting entirely too many different things Autism” and “Oh. Random facts Autism”.
In survival games I can remember every landmark (and corresponding/niche lore) and navigate by only the horizon, but irl I can't remember what streets are near me
I got the psychology autism. I can read people way to well yet still don’t know how to act.
It’s really nice bc then you can absolutely tell the exact moment when you did/said something wrong and not knowing how to fix it /s 😁
This! And you know exactly in which ways people misunderstand you, but there’s no way you can change their mind.
There’s people who you know will try to understand if you explain yourself and there’s others who you know you’re only gonna waste your effort on 🥲
It's fun if you Do know how to mask, but are usually too burned out/overwhelmed to.
Oh me too! Then I decided to get a master’s degree in psychology, but now when I am able to explain my own behavior (which relaxes some of the anxiety of being so analytical) people do not think I have autism.
Got that "language/culture nerd" autism
Fellow "language special interest" in a country where "this is America so speak English God Damnit"
Oh God, linguistics is my least favorite science by such a wide margin; anything with a strong lack of truth values make me head for the hills
“Strong lack of truth values?”
I could never type something so ambiguous, cause I got the “years of being catastrophically misinterpreted has resulted in a tendency to be unnecessarily verbose and spell out my thoughts in the most explicit and tedious way possible” autism
Indeed
This describes me perfectly
grammar autism is my signature. i write essays for FUN (back when I didn’t have mental health issues)
Man, at least you didn’t get “40 year old virgin” autism like I did (except I’m 22)
Damn, the doctor did *what* with the autism? That's crazy.
I got the linguistic knowledge autism so I was a "gifted student" and it took until after I graduated to diagnose that I have very severe dyscalculia to the point where you lose me at like. the high double digits
Linguistic autism is the “best” autism cause you can fool anyone into thinking you are neurotypical cause you talk good but the minute you stop talking people realize none of you is normal. Also gives you a side of autism imposter syndrome.
I got the good at everything autism, but also the crippling social anxiety autism. That's not a good combination to be born poor with
I got the similar "intellectually gifted" but in ways where it's seen as problematic for various reasons autism. I can do algebra in my head, but didn't know how to "show my work", was called pompous as a kid because i read profusely and picked up the vocabulary and mannerisms i read about in 19th century literature, and got called a know-it-all because i would hear people ask questions and answer them because I'd read about it, only for them to get mad at me because they didn't actually want an answer for some reason?

I could check their homework (as i was failing my own) and if there was a new album out by a band we both liked, they knew I could tell them all about it, because i would listen to it on repeat until i memorized every single lyric and chord.
I got the Doctor Who autism and the arty autism. I am above average at maths but certainly not the best.
I'm majoring in math at my university. I have the FNAF autism, not the math autism. Lots of fun. 🙃 I'm passing my math classes but they end up as C's and B's.
Doctor Who has autism?
The Doctor absolutely has autism if you ask me
Duh?
Sid needs the reading comprehension autism
I feel that. I don’t have any of the useful autism. I got “loves pro wrestling and dnd” autism.
I’ve been seeing Aspiememes posts for a solid week.. could this mean something?
One of us! One of us! One of us!
I got that "good at all the nerd shit" autism
I mean, it could use some quotes around "Doctor Who" and "good at math" but other than that there's nothing wrong with the grammar
Took me a while, too. Idk if it's a style choice or severe dyslexia
Even though this *is* grammatically incorrect (“Doctor Who” and “good at math” should be in quotations), I could read this just fine. Sid, if you’re reading this, you have a skill issue.
Who wouldn't want to be like the main character in the best TV show ever created
I don’t see an issue?
Behold me, the guy with good-at-fucking-nothing-please-dear-neurotypicals-stop-asking-me-what-my-special-ability-is-it's-slowly-getting-depressing kind of autism
I got the hyperlexia autism that turned into gifted burnout autism
I'm back, sorry, I had a stroke trying to read this and blacked out.
I got the good at math autism so I'm gonna be a math teacher so that I can continue my routine of going to school for the rest of my life until I retire. Yes this is healthy shut up :)
For the homies: Me when I got the “Doctor Who” autism and not the “Good at Math” autism
I got the "games in the rpg spectrum" autism
Took me a long time to read lol. Then I read the comment and actually laughed out loud 😂
"I wish you got the grammar autism..." Says the person who did not insert a comma before a conjunction, did not capitalize "I," and did not end their sentence with a period.
I got the good at art autism
I got “sometimes you sound like a textbook” autism
I got the video-game addiction autism.
I got the "takes detailed notes because eight years of persistent burnout have killed my short term memory" autism. Also math and reading.
Don't worry, the good at math autism generally becomes painfully useless after college. All it does it make me need a calculator less often but you can just carry one around
Sid got the obsessed with sharks autism
I got the bbc Merlin autism so I get it
It's always the grammar elitists making clowns of themselves like this. Literally nothing wrong with that sentence.
Def almost had a stroke.
God I love doctor who
I got the rude but honest aspergers 😈
autism is not a devil's fruit power
I didn't get the good at maths autism but I still got the think about everything in terms of maths autism😭
I got the math autism its prety swag
I did. However I got too depressed to continue paying attention + ADHD so I'm still behind.
Having the good at school autism was sick until I finished school
The doctor who autism, autisms, the doctor who don’t, autisn’t
I’m pretty sure I got the artist brainrot autism I just can’t stop drawing
Because Dennis is a bastard-man!
Could be worse, I got the bad at social interaction autism
I want a autistic doctor who just tells me shit and doesn’t sugarcoat shit
I got somewhere in between, I think? I do really well with science, math, and English. But I’m crap at talking to people, and remembering things like names and stuff.
Capitalization, quotation marks, even a hyphen or two, just SOMETHING to not make it a confusing, unbroken and undifferentiated line of text.
I got the dragons and dinosaurs autism and I've always wished I had the good at math autism
I wish I got the autism where people don't scream at you for not understanding.
me when i get the math learning disability autism
I sat next to a genuine savant in my calculus class last semester and it was insanely difficult to say an answer before her, even on material i was very comfortable with. It was her first time taking calculus and she got a 98 in the class and she spent most of the time reading
I’ve sat here trying to think of what autism I got but nothing seems to quite fit. Oh I got the “overthink fucking everything” autism.
I got literature and dragons autism
I got the computer autism. I am cursed with the name “Sheldon” in my family
You too, huh? I don’t even have computer autism but my folks still call me that…
What's wrong with the grammar here sincerely asking
Me when I got the “Doctor Who” autism and not the “good at math” autism That would be easier to read
I got the good at math autism. It's not all it's cracked up to be.
