Is this an autism thing?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know if I have autism or not, but I was wondering if this was a thing people with autism might do. I'm completely fascinated by how unique every single human is. I love to just stare at people and look at their facial features. How their face is shaped, how their nose looks from the side, the way their cheekbones are, all the details in their eyes, and the way everything just connects together. I just love to analyse how their faces look. It's just the coolest thing to me, how every face is incredibly different! (unless you have a twin haha)

While some autistic people do stare, staring does not mean that you are autistic.

While some autistic people have "fascinations" or special interests, having these behaviors does not mean that you are autistic, either.

Only an appropriately-trained and licensed mental-health professional can render a valid diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Disorder, since many of the symptoms overlap with other disorders or even normal behavior.

Not sure, but I do love to stare at my own face. Autistic thing? I doubt it. Narcissistic? Maybe.
