    What are your shutdowns like?

    My shutdowns almost always culminate in a panic attack or a spike in blood pressure. Suddenly, I'll get this feeling of trying to remember an old dream I had, and as more and more details arrive I get more and more lightheaded.

    Video games you're playing?

    Currently playing Injustice 2, peppered with my New Game+ playthrough of Persona 5. Harley Quinn is my freaking spirit animal. Also, and I've said this in a past post, but Persona 5 actually has one of my favorite portrayals in popular media of someone on the spectrum: Futaba Sakura.

    Accents??

    Funny this should be brought up: I live in the deep South, and have a very noticeable country drawl. But the funny thing is that I didn't really develop it until I was almost out of High School. Up to that point, I spoke in a very didactic and neutral way that emphasized proper pronunciation.

    Getting upset over someone being wrong...

    Does anyone else here have this problem? When someone you meet has an incorrect idea or belief that is unscientific/ahistorical/etc. I've come across this both online and in real life, and it almost completely ruins my day, like the entire universe is off balance because this one individual...

    Video games you're playing?

    Persona 5. I'm a shameless japanophile, and this game does a good job of giving you something of an idea of what it's like to live in Tokyo. It also has probably one of the most realistic depictions of a person on the Autism Spectrum in the history of video games.

    Upsetting Words

    Racial slurs. Racial slurs will quite simply set me off. I mean, obviously such things should anger a person...but I get irrationally angry.

    Fictional Characters whom you think have Asperger/autism

    Johnny from The Room. Though that might be because I'm almost certain that Tommy Wisseau is autistic.

    What kind of metal awakens your inner warrior?

    You forgot to add Prog Metal. But yeah, I love stuff like Dream Theater, Seventh Wonder, Rhapsody, Sound Horizon (and Linked Horizon), Dragonforce, and especially Ayreon...or really anything by Arjen Lucassen for that matter.

    Fictional Characters whom you think have Asperger/autism

    Peter Griffin. He comes off as a very extroverted Aspie, but an Aspie nonetheless.

    i'd been thinking about trying nudism someday

    See, we Americans are kinda deprived when it comes to this. Over in Europe nude beaches are extremely common. Hell, women can go topless legally up in Canada if they want. But we Americans have this weird thing about nudity, I don't know what it is..... ....But to answer your question, yes. I...

    What is your social kryptonite?

    Big loud crowds were my kryptonite when I was a kid. I eventually was able to overcome that, but it took some serious initiative on my part. But these days? It's attractive women. I turn into a sweaty, stuttering mess.

    Worst era for music?

    One of the great things about the music scene these days is that, thanks to the internet, we're not strictly limited to what mainstream radio plays anymore. No longer do we have to sift through obscure fanzines and dusty record collections to find quality, independent music. True, we still have...

    What do you think about what is happening in the world?

    Me? I think that we are about to see a wave of political and social change sweep the globe that hasn't been seen since The Great War. We're going to see revolutions, the fall of empires, the collapse of long-established governments. And from it will rise a brave new world that is unprecedented...

    Animated movies/t.v shows obsessions

    Alot have already been mentioned, but here we go..... Growing up I obviously loved Bugs Bunny. I also loved the classic Disney Afternoon lineup (minus Gummi Bears because that had already been off the air for some time). Also loved some rather obscure cartoons like Dink the Little Dinosaur...
