Affection

[Ryōichi]

Hi people! I am new here.

I am 26, Italo-Japanese, grown up in Sweden with asperger.

I would like to write about something i wonder is typical asperger or not.

I find that certain places in the city here where i live makes me reminiscence locations from 'other worlds' like naruto or final fantasy, not that they are similar to this place but there is a feeling of reminiscence.

For example my big brother is like Itachi in naruto both in looks and other ways. But i realise that i may project anger towards him from what happens in the series.

Welcome

It sounds like you are so immersed in these anime, that you are applying them to your daily life. As Aspies tend to have a rather large imagination, I suppose it's reasonable to say that it may be something that others do too, though you should probably be easier on your brother

Hi, Ryouichi!

Vanilla's pretty spot-on. It's easy for people with ASD to become a tad obsessed with their hobbies---not that people without ASD don't, but I think ASD tends to amplify that tendency.

Try not to connect your brother to Itachi too much----one is a real person and the other is fictional. It's important to know the difference between reality and fiction.

Then there is the question what is "reality" and not. Of course i should always give my best to my brother.

Well, it's not as if Itachi Uchiha is a real person who died. That's what I mean by reality versus fiction. This young man may have had some underlying issues that were not properly addressed. (I think it's also worth noting that The Daily Mail is not the best news source.)

Nothing is like your own conviction. You do what you have to for it. That is my point.
If that wasnt the case you could convince people to fall out of love or stop drinking in a second.

Of course people may think that you are doing something wrong or infact that you are. I am not naive about that.

If i would end up killing myself because of this connection between Itachi and my big brother, and i did write a note confirming it, there would still be people unwilling to believe it either because they wouldnt want to or because of the unlikeliness of it being the actual case. When infact this anger that i projected from the series was what broke me.
