Your autistic habits - No powerlevels, only puzzle pieces

[thegooddoctor]

I enjoy being 'random' at home when my relatives are away.

What can I say, lists and diagrams are cosy!

I've never actually thought about sharing my data tbh, I always figured it was too messy and not useful like all the other lists. Making something of it is a bloody good idea!

BUUUUT I do hang out in bug forums and chat about my findings. I also draw diagrams and catalog the visuals of what I find and the species I keep that I put out into the world. There's a few fellow insect crazies out there in the world with my designs tattooed on them. That's a kinda embarrassing honour, I can't imagine how chuffed I'd be to contribute to the scientific community.

Thank you. For asking. Seriously I'm a soppy shit and it genuinely makes my day to be asked about special interests. Specially when mine are so bloody boring and bland.

If you makes you feel any better I am absolutely repulsed at the concept of bug forums, and people talking about bugs proudly.

Aaahhhh I get the phobia! They freak most people out and there's something about them that triggers an absolute disgust reaction in more people than not. The rare occasions I have people around I'm always ready to move the enclosures of my pet ones riiiiiight out the way. I think it's an evolutionary mechanism to avoid disease and it's sensible.

I adore them, always have much to my poor mother's despair, I dread to think how many years it's taken off her life in stress.

I think I'm kinda lucky. There's something missing in me that takes away a lot of normal repulsion and it gives me access to this fascinating world of tiny and sometimes incredibly beautiful little monsters.

Plus there's nothing more zen than tending to their habitats, maintaining this tiny little box of nature and building frustrating little systems to try to mimic their habitats.

Teaches a woman patience, nurturing and the down to earth resilience one gets from working with/battling nature only on a tiny manageable scale.

I imagine it scratches a similar itch to fish or reptile keeping, gardening and outdoor equipment maintenance. It's worth having a hobby like that in your life. I'd recommend it to everyone.

I create setlists for hypothetical music festivals, including even bands that no longer exist and artists that you would never catch me listening in any mental state ever.
When I feel like it, I even play those songs in order and imagine crowd cheers and banter from the band.

I wanted to write some examples but then I was like:
"Wait... what are my non-autistic habits?"

Since it came out, I have probably played through New Vegas, DLCs and all, at least 20 or 25 times. And with little to no difference in between each.

They are VERY cosy games though! What's your route through/ divine game rituals?

I always mean to test out different playstyles but inevitably railroad into sledge hammer weilding, item hoarding macho-ma'am.

1. Always side with NCR, because I find them the least obnoxious of the factions and don't care about the fate of the Strip
2. build is a rifleman/mercenary/grunt
3. DLC's in order
4. Boone and I enjoy our hunting trips to the Arizona side, especially at the Fort and Cottonwood Cove
5. Fiends, Omertas, Van Graffs, White Legs, and Great Khans get shoah'd by my hand

I prefer to adjust audio sliders in-game than mess with my desktop audio level, a non-round and arbitrary number. My headset has buttons for setting it, but no, it's the options menu for me.

You may have noticed I post anime images frequently here. When I'm doing that, there's a chance I'm in a shitty mood/MATI/have spent too much time in A&H. Weebshit lightens my mood.

Please forgive me if I have given any of you cancer.

Books have to be in descending size order, largest to the left.

Films and games must be in alphabetical order, or if they're sequels then chronologically. Gets harder with reboots and remakes though, or most annoyingly when you buy a box set and they release another one. Except my Die Hard 1-4 collection, I am perfectly happy to pretend the 5th film never existed.

Volume control on a number ending in either 5 or 0, climate control on a full degree.

This isn't really a habit but something I've noticed start to happen the past decade or so--reading sometimes makes me tear up. I'm admittedly kind of an emotional dude, but it doesn't even have to be an emotional book, I was reading a book of basically trivia from the 99percentinvisible Invisible blog, and I'll read it and be like "thats SO neat, I wish I could see/experience that/do _____" and just have a bunch of feels come up.

Also, I don't collect books but I'm autistic about mostly only reading physical ones, ebooks don't do it for me plus since they're on a device I end up getting distracted/kinds bored and fucking around and doing someyhing else on it.

Good choice. If you don't physically own media, you don't actually own it, you're just renting it from Gaben or Jeff Bezos.
