Typically, nobody will kill you for being autistic. If we're just talking "gay" specifically rather than a blanket term for queer, I'd say one requires a bit more explanation than the other and people are less likely to have diehard opinions on the matter, though you could be unlucky. Pers...

Yeah, but I think I'm more inclined to climbing stuff rather just standing on objects (though I do enjoy jumping from one object to another as a game). Ex. *Sitting chatting with my friends at a table. Next to us a staircase with a railing. Me: *climbs the railing really high without even noticing. ...

T.W: I talk about trying to die on purpose. I've tried to kill myself multiple times in about two different ways. Hanging: times (a couple). Why it didn't work: (chickened out and saved myself after choking for a while). Electrocution: times, > than 7, after a while I stopped...

Yes, especially if people try and touch me to try and calm me down, like an attempted hug or arm stroke. Feels horrible, but especially when I'm upset and I wish they could understand I'm not "pushing them away", I'm just exerting my boundaries and they're lucky I've got enough self-contro...

I have one stuffed animal I'm very attached to that I hold (not in public) constantly, and that definitely helps me calm down and just chill. I try to listen to music as loud as possible to block out other noise, and or watch something (comfort tv show or movie) to distract me from stuff when I'm ov...

"I promise it'll get better."
Well, that was just a lie, wasn't it? It's vague enough to escape any sort of responsibility. When will it get better?
That's right, you don't know. Yeah, I would say I find it annoying.

Yeah, performative allies will act like that a lot; pretending to care or understand but in reality, they're ignorant and won't help you when you need it. It's messed up nobody listens to you or believes you, but very real if I'm being honest. I've had people laugh at my serious problems because the...

I have tried not to talk for a whole day, usually giving up when I became bored. I once didn't speak for a whole school day because I was just tired of talking to people, instead of experimentation. I'm not sure, but I think I go non-verbal when I'm overwhelmed. I've been forced to talk under those ...

#1 Seinfeld fan here (the show not the person) I think it's funny Jerry's calling modern comedy restrained by wokeness when one of his most recognizable Seinfeld-ism was created carefully as not offend the gay community. "Not that there's anything wrong with that." And with the recent rele...

Strangers being rude to me when I am out in public. Like grumpy bus drivers if I get something wrong when I’m buying a ticket. I know everyone dislikes this but I seem to react more strongly & shut down more. I think it’s linked to anxiety and being bullied in the past. Yeah, I believe it has t...

People touching me in any way. Sunshine (I want to block out the sun like Mr. Burns lol) Food touching that shouldn't. Condiments (someone one force fed me various condiments while I cried. I hate condiments.) Tags on clothing, just uncomfortable clothing in general People touching my belongings. Cr...

Is the film character-centric, or do you have any ideas for specific sequences, because the plot should probably tie into that. Either way, my idea for an action film would always be having the main characters debilitated in some way, ex. sick, disabled while the fight off a power, like an organizat...

I don't know if this qualifies but I felt like saying it: I have this irrational fear of waking up people that I've been freaking out about recently because I've realized it's not normal. I feel like if I wake someone up, they'll get mad and yell and hit me or something. I have both looked this up a...
