Do you have these Autistic Traits? Part 3

[@shapeofsoup]

Yeah, I would be absolutely shocked if your assessment doesn’t come back positive for autism. Especially given that you already know your kids are. I relate to all of your symptoms/traits in some way or another. I have a really hard time keeping friends I don’t interact with on a regular basis. I default to scripts in many social situations. I LOVE food lol. Flavor is everything. I’m hypersensitive to some smells and sounds. The biggest standout for me is strong fragrances. Cologne, perfume, candles, air fresheners, etc. Sounds are less of an issue, but one thing that drives me absolutely mad is ransom subtle sound. Like if something is dripping-especially if I can’t tell where it’s coming from. And yes, “something missing” is a trigger for me too. I stopped doing puzzles over 20 years ago because the last one I put together had one piece missing, right in the middle. Incidentally, I literally just decided a couple days ago to give puzzles another go. Fingers crossed lol

Good luck with the puzzle. That absolutely would drive me crazy to have a missing piece. It is so good to hear that other people get my weird experiences!

@@i.am.mindblind absolutely. There’s so many more of us than I ever expected. We’re definitely not alone.

I thought he'd hang out with me for the video! He likes sitting with me on my living room couch but he doesn't like the couch in my office much. Silly pug!
