So I'm newly diagnosed and I've been thinking about some of the more unusual things I do, I wondered if they are autistic or just me?
- Repeating the punchline to a joke, if I'm telling a funny story I ALWAYS say the ending twice, it's so annoying but I can't stop my self eg " and then he dropped the trifle all over his shoes it was hilarious and he dropped the trifle all over his shoes"
I do it incase the other person didn't hear me or didn't get it but I know it must be annoying for them
- I love cute things so much sometimes it hurts, if I see a really cute toy or animal I always say "awwwwwwww oh my god its just too cute" and I feel like it's hurting me in my chest cos it's so damn cute,
- Along the same lines, I like to hug soft toys really hard, proper squashing them because they are too cute
- If I see water I want to get in it, even if its freezing I have the urge to get in, the sea, rivers, pools, I love a pool or river with sun on it, the blueness of the pool, I love swimming and anywhere we go with water I have to get in and paddle and I hate it if I can't
That's all I can think of for now, is it autism or just me? Thanks 😊
