I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
🤘 666 minutes, that’s metal! 🤘
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
it took me hearing from adults with diagnosis for it to finally land that the popular conception of autism is very limited.
Autism is liking things.
I has 'tism cause I like dis song ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
lol, having a favorite song that you listen to a lot isn’t “autism”
Lol, people on Lemmy thinking they’re not on the spectrum.
Just because you think something is normal doesn’t make it normal. You’re strange. You’re here.
Not every strangeness is an autism sign.
That’s very true. But there’s also a pretty high correlation between neurodivergence (all kinds) and your Linux using, privacy focused, d&d playing, edm and metal listening, caffeine addicted, geeks.
Not every rectangle is a square, but the front door to Lemmy sure is pretty square shaped.
Thank you. Some people are just weird. It’s not a sign of anything other than that. Not everyone fits in a box, and that doesn’t mean they’re suffering from any kind of disorder or syndrome or any other kind of thing.
But an awful lot of people listen to songs hundreds even thousands of times. That’s totally normal. It just means you like it.
Foucault needs a word.
Well you can hear the same song on repeat 272 times and not be autistic, but as far as I can tell, this could be one of the diagnostic criteria.
From time to time, there’s some new K-pop that my wife goes crazy over, and every single car ride after that will have that song playing multiple times. It’s not on loop only because I would consider throwing us off a cliff if the playlist didn’t have at least 19 other songs on it. :)
OK, so you’ve clearly never had kids. Kids, generally, love hearing some song they like hundreds of times over and over. There’s probably no parent in the last 10 or so years that isn’t sick to death of hearing Bluey songs. That does not automatically make there was kids autistic. Yes, often adults like to do this too. It just means that you like the song or whatever else you’re watching or listening to.
If anything, it might be classified as slightly neurotic or a little bit obsessive. But it has nothing to do with autism.
It is like incredibly normal to do that. Everybody I know does it.
wait, it isn’t? it’s like one of my favorite things to do in the world. Choose a song and listen to it hundreds of times
That’s far more normal than you think. I have TV shows and movies that I also like which I’ve seen hundreds of times. That’s not “autism”, that’s just liking something. You know, a lot.
from last year’s Wrap
Sleep Token rules though, so I guess thats fine
Worship.
how am I supposed to practice it and learn it?
Googles: how to get good at autism
I know, right? I’m pretty sure even at Brandon Toews’ level, you have to run through whatever it is a lot to get it. Dude’s a beast though.
