You probably want it to be some cool mental illness but it's just pure ADHD

You might have eczema too since they're correlated and you say you're itchy all the time

>>37160517
Rubbing

>>37160525
Is echolalia part of ADHD?
Just wondering because I was diagnosed as a kid and I also repeat words and phrases to myself.

>>37160493
I want a larger image of this
You have?

>>37160525
I don't think mental illness is cool (already have diagnosed depression and GAD + gender disphoria), ADHD might actually be it, I was terrible in school and had to finish a lot of HS classes after when I was supposed to graduate

I always find myself scratching my balls and taint, then sniffing my fingers. Sometimes I do this till it gets all sore. Then I usually find the closest pair of balls and taint and scratch that

>>37159889
>have strange visual hallucinations of shadowy animals and bugs moving across my vision
I don't remember when it started happening but it's definitely increased over the years.

>>37160561
No it's not

Thanks anon
Sorry to be a leech
I'll find my own memes in the future

I talk to myself a lot. Sometimes I wonder if I'm saying things out loud or thinking them in my head.

>>37160493
thanks anon you cheered me up

pretend I have a job/freelance to others when I'm a neet
spil life story to people

I have been wondering this for years

Sometimes i think of something. It usually makes me better than i really am. Then i start pacing/jumping/fast walking trough the house with those thoughts.

Like for example me being in the military and being in a fight, where i come out as the victor

Or me being the amazing person interviewed in a talkshow who comes up with all the witty answers/is liked by the audience


Whats up with me?
No autismo

Whenever i get anxious i put my ring finger and my thumb together and start flicking them.
Is this autismo?

Have a pic of me doing karate on my facebook, Only did it for 2 months and tell people I do karate back in the day

Literally all of these aside from the clothes for weeks, also you have autism OP, so do i

>>37162253

anyone? cxsdsfsafads

When I'm alone I often inadvertently blurt out stuff like "I wish I was dead," "I'm going to kill myself" out loud. I make an effort not to, but it just happens subconsciously. Sometimes in public I find myself almost blurting it out and am able to stop myself.

>>37160469
How do you think diagnosis happens? Autistic people aren't automatically diagnosed somehow unless their parents were aware enough and cared enough to look into it when they were children. Everyone else has to figure it out on their own, and then go through the process of getting professionally diagnosed. Which is usually pointless unless you need autismbux or other accommodations. A lot of people are autistic without knowing it, or they are reasonably certain they are but have no reason to get professionally diagnosed. People on the internet like to get mad at snowflakes declaring themselves autistic, but that's just how it is.

>>37160823
i do this but not just with soft things. it can be any kind of fabric or string

>>37159889
>oh look at me I'm so quirky
You have no idea what it means to be odd

I'm always thinking about numbers in my head, particularly 4, 8, and 13

letting the days go by let the waterhold me down

>>37160441
Agreed. My son is autistic and there are several items in this behavior profile that fit autism.

>>37159931
I do this as well
>started muttering "fuck", "nigger" and "faggot" at the most minuscule things
I already talk to myself regulary so it doesn't help

Making genuinely autistic sounding noises. I do a lot of weird shit but I'm usually aware of how odd it is, but this is the one where I'll stop in the middle of making noises to amuse myself and think "What the fuck am I doing?" If I saw another person making these noises I'd be convinced that they were autistic. The fact that I can categorize these sounds as "autistic" makes me think that I'm not actually autistic, though.

>>37159889
I always find myself doing autistic shit, notice myself doing them, then have to pseudo rationally explain them to others. and if they just don't get it, i terminate the conversation as quickly as possible

>talk as the air control tower operator and the pilot in the shower
>sleep under the mattress
>always squat in chair when i could just sit, if not full squat I have one leg up on the chair.

>start making weird noises if i remember something embarrassing that i did.

>randomly start pretending to play a fast beat on some air snare drum if im a bit hyped up

Is this normal or a sign of being somewhere on the spectrum?

>>37166684
>I already talk to myself regulary so it doesn't help
This is dangerous, anon. They might be listening to you when you do this.

>head scratching, way too frequently
>staring off into nothing for prolonged periods of time
>staring at people vacuously while they talk
>playing imaginary piano on flat surfaces
>detaching my sentences into one. word.... at..... a time
>too much eye contact, gives off the impression i'm analyzing the person, which is what i'm actually doing but i cba to hide it.
>whistling alot
>turning everything into a song chorus
>wearing the wackest shit in my closet (under the guise of "wow i've never worn this combination" with complete disregard to fashion)

>>37167168
>start making weird noises if i remember something embarrassing that i did.


hahaha i do that

>>37167224
also talking to myself in the middle of interactions, also way tooo frequently

>>37167231
LOL, i can relate, the weird noises are actually "shit.... shit............ shit" in my case.
people near me start asking what's wrong, i'm like "nothing, just remembered smth", then change the subject faster than light

>>37167231
yeah idk whats wrong with me, i went full fish today making the "blub" noise fish do.

>>37159889
>close my eyes very hard when I'm getting frustrated in front of a screen

>chew things until they're broken

>spin while I'm walking if I'm happy and listening a song I like

>bite nails to stub
>skin pick everything
>eating rituals such as, leaving corner pieces for last, biting around edges before middle etc

>>37167231
same except I roll my eyes back and spaz my limbs for a second

>>37159889
>I turn my body on auto-pilot.
I've been in conversations with people and would detach myself acknowledging that I'm talking to another human being.

>talk to myself when alone
>think in English instead of my native language
>tend to make rapid eye movements when trying to think of something/switch focus from one thing to other

>>37167656
I used to do bite the skin off my fingers all the time

and my toes

Also I eat my boogers.

I figure mucus constantly goes down my throat anyways so might as well just eat it.

>always wiggle my legs around when I'm sitting or laying down
>BITE THE FUCKING SKIN OFF MY FINGERS
>walk around my house pretending to give a speech or be interviewed
>imagine what a girl's butthole looks like when I meet her

>>37159931
I've been doing this for years at this point

it's really annoying and a constant reminder of how fucking mental I am. It doesn't help that my mother is a legit schizophrenic as well.

I mostly mumble insults to myself whenever my thoughts wander into something that triggers an embarrassing or uncomfortable memory, like something awkward I've said or done. Even humiliating stuff from as far back as kindergarten or elementary school can still trigger this response of mumbling random insults and phrases to myself. Like I tend to say "i hate myself" or "i should kill myself" a lot. Sometimes the phrases are a lot more meaningless like "i just won 50k in the lottery" (i didnt but i wish i would). Or I mumble the name of the girl I'm obsessing about at the moment like "I love you Sarah". In fact just right now I remembered something embarrassing and I mumbled to myself "Shut the fuck up [my name] you son of a bitch". I think it's just something my mind uses to try and suppress uncomfortable memories.

This is one form of "talking to myself" which is mostly annoying and uncontrollable like tourette but I also talk to myself in long, drawn-out, therapeutic conversations with myself where I pretend I'm talking to someone else. These are actually really enjoyable since I don't have anyone I can really talk to about these things and getting them off my chest or just being able to articulate and organize all these thoughts in my head really leaves me feeling freer at the end of it. This stuff can go on for 30 minutes to 3 hours. It's usually out-loud conversation with myself in my apartment about various topics centering mostly around me; like analyzing my personality and my mind, my beliefs, my worldviews on existential and cosmological questions, on society and politics etc. or talking about some of my favorite books and people.

When I try to think something out I tend to look up. Not at anything anything in particular, it just helps to lift my head.
