Sorry, I have trouble identifying when I’m being rude. To me it just seems like obvious pattern matching.
It’s hardly trivial though. It’s not like I’m sitting here undiagnosed and spouting nonsense. This is my life. And it’s not hard to see myself in many other people here.
It gets upvoted because those people feel seen and represented. Which is nice for once. To be welcome someplace as a person and not infantalized or shunned.
And yes, if I start giving medical advice please call me out. But this ain’t that.
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.
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.
lol, having a favorite song that you listen to a lot isn’t “autism”
Apparently when Kendrick dropped “Not Like Us” he gave people 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.
This is pretty rude to be honest and I can’t believe rhetoric like this gets voted up.
This trivializes all parties, steers people in wrong directions and generally is just actual unwarranted or wanted, fake medical advice.

Not every strangeness is an autism sign.
