    It’s funny how autistic people are so different. This is definitely seen as an autism trait, yet I’m autistic and I get bored of listening to something multiple times quite quickly. I require variation. Hearing a song 10 times in a week is already pushing it

      I am ASD and have ADHD, so very often things like this kinda even out. The autism side wants to stay forever, while the ADHD side wants something new every 10 seconds. Which results in looking somewhat normal for very not normal reasons.

      it took me hearing from adults with diagnosis for it to finally land that the popular conception of autism is very limited.
