Autistic Traits I assumed I didn't experience as I Interpreted them LiterallyALT
1. Eye Contact Why I assumed I didn't experience this trait I assumed that because I could make eye contact even thought it was painful and I would count in my head '1 2 3, look away' How this trait might show up? Looking at the person's eyebrows instead of making eye contact to not appear to have eye contact differences. Making intense eye contact without looking away. Cueing ourselves in our head to make eye contact for a certain number of seconds before looking away.ALT
2. Lining Things Up Why I assumed I didn't experience this trait I assumed that this could only be lining up objects in a row like cars. How this trait might up? Line up teddies in rows in the right order on the bed before going to sleep. Line up food in a certain order before eating. E.g. lining up sweets in order. Needing to have apps on phone lined up in a certain order. Have clothes lined up in colour order in the wardrobe/chest of draws.ALT
3. Seeing the detail before the bigger picture. How I took this literally I assumed that this meant when looking a visual image 'picture' rather than seeing the detail before the general overall point in different elements of life. How this trait showed up? Noticing small details such as differences in people's tone of voice, noticing small changes in room layouts etc. Difficulty summarising or generalising ideas.ALT
4. Pattern Seeking Why I assumed I didn't experience this trait I assumed that this only referred to patterns in numbers or visual sequences rather than recognising the varied ways this could show up. How this trait showed up? Recognising patterns in peoples behaviour. Being able to predict film or book plots. Being able to predict music melodies. Feeling like we can 'predict' what will happen in the future due to past patterns repeating.ALT
5. Difficulty Identifying Emotions Why I assumed I didn't experience this trait I thought 'difficulty identifying emotions meant never knowing what I felt at all. How this trait showed up? Knowing we feel bad or good but not knowing the specific emotion we are experiencing. Describing the situations that happened due to difficulties in identifying the associated emotions. Experiencing emotions physically. E.g. a stomach ache, headache. Only experiencing the emotions days, weeks or months after the situation happened.ALT
6. Repetition of words/Phrases Why I assumed I didn't experience this trait I assumed that this only meant repeating words/phrases out loud immediately after they have been said. How this trait showed up? Repeating phrases heard from TV shows/films. Repeating phrases days/weeks after hearing them. Sometimes it might be in a specific context, other times, it could be random. Repeating phrases in our head over and over again, without saying it allowed.ALT

Note: these are different ways these can show up. They can also show up in a stereotypical way. If you've met one autistic, you've met one autistic.

Anonymous asked:

how do you draw hands so well

insertdisc5 answered:

you have to learn to love hands. hands can do so much. they can touch. they can hold things. like other hands. they can reach. yearningly. they can stim. they can do a victory sign. instead of worrying about how to draw a hand. consider instead. why to draw a hand. and the answer is because hands are love
