ya done goofed you massive faggot, both are really common
I wipe my semen on old sheets of paper, not sure if genius or autistic.
I obsess over the number "4" and think of it as a god/deity. I constantly do small acts to praise it.

>original comment
was that really fucking necessary
on the topic of the thread though, i don't have autism. i don't match with any of the symptoms, and my results were clear on a few online tests. worst i've done is spill my spaghetti a few hundred times but that's because my anxiety and low self esteem always fucks me over.
i cringe physically when I get embarrassed or when someone else gets in an embarrassing situation
I can't watch certain movies because of this, if I try to watch something like the office, which is all awkward and cringe humor, i will get up and start pacing trying to avoid the contact embarrassment I feel from the characters
or when I watch someone give a speech and start to bomb it, I cringe and immediately start to try to pace around
other things include
I talk to myself when I walk everywhere
sometimes when I have nothing to say to myself or whatever I will shout random phrases
it used to be things like I would say "kitty kitty kitty" at random times, but recently it's been "no one loves you, just fucking die"
like, not whispering to myself, shouting at full fucking volume and looking like I'm trying to make some invisible person cry
>>25772099
I watch MLP
>>25772099
I always tell myself if I do a certain thing (touch this rock, say "rabbit" 10 times, walk back 5 steps, etc), I'll have good luck, but if I don't do the thing I told myself to do, i'll have bad luck.
I can't tell if i'm telling myself this or if it's a voice.
Creating shit like this on Garry's mod, and not just a little
>>25772247
Sounds like mild OCD, I did that for years. Somehow just stopped doing it one day
I don't know if it's autistic but I've creeping on my crush's facebook for over 4 years now.

You do the spasm because it's your body triggering goosebumps. Look at your skin next time you spasm and you'll seen little bumps.
>I once threw a fish and a girl I thought was cute at the meat market.
This isn't autistic but I just wanted to say that season 4 of Dexter was really good
>>25772412
subtle bait
nice
>>25772099
>I imitate movie characters I see for the rest of the day
I'm guilty of this. I do it with video game and anime characters too, although not as much as I did when I was younger. I was that kid who ran like Sonic.
>>25772412
>>whenever i adjust the volume on the TV I always make sure I stay on an even number
Normie as fuck
>>25772466
op here, I see your sonic run and I raise you by acting like a car after seeing the fast and the furious Tokyo drift and trying to "drift" during lunch on the schoolyard

>I wet the bed until late middle school
Isn't that a sign of trauma or something?
>sometimes I randomly get scared and hide under my covers

cute
>I walk around in circles whenever I'm alone in an elevator

>I bang my head against my pillow every night
No one's going to know so doesn't really matter
>I can't make eye contact with most people
try looking at the middle to upper part of people's noses
>I'm horrible at pretty much everything but I'm pretty good at like one or two things
better than being average at everything, it makes you interesting
>whenever I shiver from the cold my whole body does this like spasm thing and it probably looks silly
kek
>I imitate movie characters I see for the rest of the day (I'm watching Rainman at the moment so I'm acting particularly retarded)
Do you do this on purpose?
>>25772643
>Isn't that a sign of trauma or something?
Well my parents used to hit me and make fun of me for bed wetting so idk, I never thought about those things being related before
>cute
R...really? Aw thanks anon :)
>No one's going to know so doesn't really matter
Yeah I guess that's a good point
>better than being average at everything, it makes you interesting
Yeah I guess you're right I never thought about it like that before
>Do you do this on purpose?
No it's not intentional. I just pick up on their mannerisms and it's like for the rest of the day I'll subtly talk or move like them and get into the characters head. Honestly I think I could mayyyybe do good at acting but idk, I could also be really bad at it. I guess there's only one way to find out, time to call my agent (I don't really have an agent)
>>25772456
It always pissed me off how they continue calling him Trinity even after finding out he kills in 4's
>>25772925
Yeah those quirks are pretty cute, nothing to be ashamed over
I sort of do the same thing when I'm reading a book I really like. For a little bit I think or talk like how the author writes, or how the protagonist acts if I relate to them enough.
>>25773075
Aw well thanks anon <3 that makes me feel a bit better since I was always a little embarrassed by them haha
Omg I totally get it, it's crazy. Don't watch that show Sherlock, you'll piss everyone off for the next couple days by trying to be wittier than you really are
>>25772925
Dude usually wetting the bed for a long time has mostly to do with growth spurts, nothing more then your muscles in charge of bladder control not catching up with your bodys growth.
And the movie mimic thing might just mean your brain is wanting more interaction with people. Mimicing those around is just a normal part of interaction (it's why jokes and mannerisms spread), so it could just be your socially starved brain trying to fit in with the movie characters.
And as for the making your friends order food for you that's at least nice that they do that for you

I mainly watch anime and documentaries, but I'll remember that if I ever feel like watching TV.
I was in such a depressed mood when I read The Stranger and The Bell Jar, they were really good but I wouldn't recommend it if you have that tendency.
A weird thing I always do is try to read sentences backwards in my head. When I feel uncomfortable I smile and it probably looks scary. I focus on things way too much and sometimes don't notice when people are talking to me. Also, when I'm feeling moody looking at cute animal pictures makes me cry.
>>25773327
I guess that could be a possibility but I didn't grow that much. Im only5'5, maybe you're right though
I never thought about that but that makes sense! Like its a weird way of making friends? That's kinda sad more than anything
I hope they don't think I'm making them. It's just that like sometimes I'll be spacing out and the next thing I know the waitress is asking me for my order and everyone's already ordered and stareing at me and I get really overwhelmed and nervous and start stuttering so whenever that happens one of my friends will usually just pick a random thing on the menu for me
>>25772099
When I'm not focusing on what people are saying and someone quips something, I subconsciously repeat a slightly modified version, within a second, really to myself but if other people hear they think I'm just trying to steal other people's thunder / joke.
I don't know why, I realise I've done it afterwards, but during I genuinely believe it's OC.
;_;
>>25772247
I do this, but normally with stupid shit, and I bet my life on it like "pass this doorway in 10 seconds or you'll kill yourself"
They're always easy, I don't think I've lost a bet yet but there's always a chance, even though I make the rules.
>>25773469
Ok I won't read those then
>When I feel uncomfortable I smile
Oh god I had a teacher who did that too and for some reason it always came off like passive aggressive, you probably don't mean It like that though
>looking at cute animal pictures makes me cry
Aww that's pretty cute anon :)
>>25773572
>>25773572
I did that one too. It was like "pick up this cup with your left hand or you'll die tomorrow"
