    Noise pollution of living in Town

    I live in an apartment now and one morning there was waves of different machinery. Between the apartment, and the other facility by my window. First was a booming dump truck, that one hurt. Next, leaf blowers. Leaf blowers turn me into an evil person. They make me nauseous. THEN, weed hacker...

    The smell of ants

    I used to live where there's abundant small black "sugar" ants. My sister had a sugar bath scrub and before we knew it there was a massive organized line to our bathroom xD I feel like the taste of blue cheese reminds me of those.

    Self Deprecating Humor

    I've probably been bad and have used it before to soften a blow before anyone else could strike. This subject makes me mostly think about how I'm grateful to have grown up in a setting where we can joke around a lot. I like to have room to make fun of my siblings a little. I've been in some...

    I've been on here for a long time, holy cow. I really appreciate the... consistency? The integrity? of this site, nothing else quite like it. For some reason I always get the urge to become a cringeball here. Thank you so much. (For dealing with me)

    Do you listen to music in a different language?

    I'm impressed by these statistics. I listen to japanese. Also, japanese game bgm's feature other languages sometimes, usually european. This comes to mind. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write...

    What song are you listening to right now?

    I have a touhou bgm stuck in my head, what's new! From 17.5... which is one of my favorites. Definitely my favorite spin off. "Laws of heaven, desire of man" I think was the one? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer...

    Should I be trying to make friends as a young autistic?

    @Rodafina That's a good question... That may be where I'm basically at right now and should be asking myself. Well, I tried a dating app that I kind of used also for finding friends, once I started talking to that aforementioned person I quickly deleted it, only had it for a week, it's just...

    I am a procrastinator.

    I have major "pathological demand avoidance" I don't even really question it or push it anymore. Only a certain medicinal mushroom has helped me with that, but I only had it twice.

    Should I be trying to make friends as a young autistic?

    I had a feeling the answer would be something like that. Wahhhh xD Well, I think the answer for myself is, that I'm bored and lonely. I also have a lot of time I need to recover from what happened to me, so that could be influencing me a lot... Yeah, putting myself out there! That's exactly my...

    Is it a spectrum trait?

    I think it can be an autistic trait. Because, I've heard of a lot autistics saying that they can spot sociopaths quickly and I've heard self-aware sociopaths say that autistic people make them uncomfortable, because the same kind of social charm they use might not work the same way on the highly...

    The last thing you bought?

    I thrifted a robe and some small cute 75 cent purses. I reallyyyyy love thrift shopping. I could get most things I need or want there.

    I collect rocks

    I'm a big time rock hound, so is my mother. Oregon has many opportunities. I also did a crystal "shop" out of boredom that I'm trying to phase out because the crystal industry isn't very ethical. Fossils are one that I haven't found much of yet. I've found small shark teeth in chalk and a...

    If you are on the autistic spectrum, are you or have you been in a romantic relationship?

    I love how you (OP) hides things behind spoilers xD Due to being reclusive, I did not date, and actually still have yet to date because my first relationship was... immediate and we never dated. I'll be honest, I would not struggle to find someone if I didn't have preferences. But my preference...

    Should I be trying to make friends as a young autistic?

    I watched a video about making friends, the reasons why it can be hard and how to improve the chances. It wasn't autism specific. Some of the obstacles and reasons why people struggle making friends- a lot of them are ways that autistics naturally are. For example: Staying at home doing...
