lol, having a favorite song that you listen to a lot isn’t “autism”
Well you can hear the same song on repeat 272 times and not be autistic, but as far as I can tell, this could be one of the diagnostic criteria.
From time to time, there’s some new K-pop that my wife goes crazy over, and every single car ride after that will have that song playing multiple times. It’s not on loop only because I would consider throwing us off a cliff if the playlist didn’t have at least 19 other songs on it. :)
OK, so you’ve clearly never had kids. Kids, generally, love hearing some song they like hundreds of times over and over. There’s probably no parent in the last 10 or so years that isn’t sick to death of hearing Bluey songs. That does not automatically make there was kids autistic. Yes, often adults like to do this too. It just means that you like the song or whatever else you’re watching or listening to.
If anything, it might be classified as slightly neurotic or a little bit obsessive. But it has nothing to do with autism.
Jack Hartmann might be my wife’s nemesis.
Lol, people on Lemmy thinking they’re not on the spectrum.
Just because you think something is normal doesn’t make it normal. You’re strange. You’re here.
This is pretty rude to be honest and I can’t believe rhetoric like this gets voted up.
This trivializes all parties, steers people in wrong directions and generally is just actual unwarranted or wanted, fake medical advice.
Sorry, I have trouble identifying when I’m being rude. To me it just seems like obvious pattern matching.
It’s hardly trivial though. It’s not like I’m sitting here undiagnosed and spouting nonsense. This is my life. And it’s not hard to see myself in many other people here.
It gets upvoted because those people feel seen and represented. Which is nice for once. To be welcome someplace as a person and not infantalized or shunned.
And yes, if I start giving medical advice please call me out. But this ain’t that.
yeah the other guy seems pretty rude to me, but what do i know, i have autism. which is why I’m here and not on reddit…
from last year’s Wrap
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
🤘 666 minutes, that’s metal! 🤘
And I thought I was doing well on that front…
I just like the song, okay?
It took 272 times in a row to get it right. That’s what we call woodshedding.
