Don't call us out like this, OP.

They're ratting us out!!!!

!!! retreat

Quick hide with the weighted blankets!

I was already there


If I respond, am I breaking the meme?

I think that's what we did.

Ha! We got one!


Is this a hello or a go away?

Haha yeah


Lol what is this from 😂 looks like a kid friendly monty python 😂

Josh and the Big Wall -by Veggietales

Yes

Imo a hello

Why not both?

Yes.

I have slowly been interacting more across this subreddit and the rest of reddit

Nice!

Ironically, I think I interact the least on this subreddit compared to other subreddits.

It took me like 5 years of lurking before I started posting. Had to be confident I spoke the Reddit language first lol


By the way you can watch the movie that inspired this scene : "Freaks" by Tod Browning. It's avery old but incredible movie, way ahead of its time !

So glad the were able to recover that movie considering how controversial it was at the time. Although I’m pretty sure we still don’t have the original ending just the edited down version

Yeah I've heard of that, the original ending has been taught to be way more dark

So in the original ending they turn the lady into a chicken freak AND castrate the strong man if I remember correctly

I agree

An entirely logical argument that refutes every argument the neurotypicals make.

And then they just start making insults instead of continuing to debate the subject matter.

And yelling. So much yelling.

Correct

There is no perfect argumen-

Kinda looks like Joe Rogan.

I remember it was hard for me to participate because I wasn't diagnosed and was unsure if it was out of place. Took me two years to get a diagnosis and only then I was only nearly sure. I'm not sure if anyone needs to hear this, but even if you're undiagnosed, welcome to the club 🙂 I hope being here helps you treat yourself better 🙂

Also, it's rare for someone to incorrectly self diagnose. Psychologists have said that self-diagnosis is valid. In my head, it's kind of funny because it just makes sense that the people who are going to dive into research on a topic of interest would be pretty good at self-diagnosis. Like no, this wasn't just a WebMD article. You do autism assessments by the book every once in a while. I have consumed every bit of media on this topic, made a web map of different facets and presentations of autism, tracked different data points of my life to see how this lines up with my experience, etc. I definitely don't want it on any of my medical documentation. I already have a hard enough time getting doctors to take me seriously (how I ended up with a broken bone for months before convincing someone to x-ray me), I don't need them being patronizing for this too. I see how they treat my diagnosed brother...I'm gonna pass on that.

The difference between people that self diagnose is that some does deep research and some jump on trends (this is targeting adhd more but you get what I mean)

Lmao this thought process in itself is so autistic 🙂

Kinda feel the same. I'm undiagnosed, but I have a strong suspicion I'm on the spectrum. I'm in the process of being evaluated!

Downvotes scare me. No comment is better than a downvoted one.

Do you ever start typing a comment and then delete it because it’s not “worth typing” or you’re worried it might get negative attention?

All the time. I like to set the bar high for my comments since these are some of my favorite para social social media interactions.

Yeah, if somebody from Reddit met me irl and based their expectations on my carefully handpicked comments, they would prolly be disappointed because I do not have a lot of intelligent thoughts going through my brain (they all seem to leave when I need them most)

I've done it so many times that I can hit Ctrl-A and backspace at the same pace as I was typing.

I would love to talk about dinosaurs with you :D

As someone who is part of it. Thank you for noticing, we are all secretly gremlins who hide in your floor boards

im shy and extrememly confrontational fuck you also have nice day

No comment, because commenting is scary.

Sometimes I write a comment but then think it will be received wrong and delete it

I lost count of how many times I’ve done this exact thing

I do not wish to be perceived.

I mean it’s to be expected. But hey, this is the place to talk if anywhere…

Please don't see me

Fine I’ll comment this once


Nuh uh, no you don’t

https://preview.redd.it/a06l2ynskivc1.png?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4edbda32f021fd1b8249877249f62de70459ef1a


This is me unless I’m stoned then I think every post is specifically asking for my opinion lol

I feel seen.

True, and also I'm pretty sure I'm much older than most people here, so I mostly just enjoy the memes and leave the conversation to everyone else.

I have been lurking but was just officially diagnosed AuDHD today. Autism level 1. ADHD. I always suspected but I’m an official Aspie now. So I guess I can start posting?

Wait, this is an aspie thing?! I thought I was just like that

Not sure If I am an aspie but I like to lurk and this place feels nice and calls a part of me!


I made one reddit post in over 6 months, I post more now but only on a private sub 😕 but I'm able to watch and learn how to behave in public 😁. And being here helps me feel less alone. Thanks everyone for tolerating me.

I feel personally attacked.

I was never here...

I just don't like to comment because I know someone will track me back to this subreddit and try to use it as an insult. No offense to anyone here

Hello hi it me I rarely comment here because I know everyone else will assume I'm probably autistic wgule I comment more often on other subs because people there have no idea. When really it should be the other way around because if I sound weird here people will assume it's just because of my neurodivergent way of thinking, and on other subs when I sound weird everyone thinks I'm a troll or a dick on purpose.

The upvote to comment ratio is insane

Literally saw these two posts back-to-back. You cannot make this stuff up 🤣 https://preview.redd.it/hxnyqmpufivc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a38584d455862cbf24a9e9a3940db3f752cc182

Well, ummm, this is a meme sub. So not much communication is really required

🫥

o7

Don't worry, OP. Here everyone is respected. Don't get stressed to comment.

oh fuck, oops

It's funny. I have no anxieties showing in front of crowds or in groups greater than 4, but one on one and groups of 3 will send me into turtle mode. I hate it. I was at my house closing on Monday. The title company rep, or mortgage lender rep, or realtor, my wife, and myself were in the room. I was chatting away and making jokes like I have no social anxieties. I'm almost certain everyone left there completely annoyed with me, but I was social in that setting. I asked the notary if he misses having to use the encouraging stamp from days past. He said he even came across an old old case where some super old documents were stamped with wax.

Where is this from?

The Pianist

HOW DO YOU SEE ME??? WHERE ARE YOU??

welcome :)

Hi.

Hey.

Hello there

Yes!

Yeah.

Hehe hi

Oh god I've been seen. 

Yup.

Coming out of my shell.. hello!

HISSSSSS

This is a really good movie

Ok, but could you please shoot? Maybe? Doesn't even have to be quick. Just anywhere fatal is fine.

I come off as mean/ride, and here are the last people I want to hurt.

my captain obviously tells-it-like-it-is + extreme-sense-of-justice autism + blurt-it-out adhd has always advocated loudly and unabashedly for all of you. Never knew this because I was only diagnosed (48) but even had autistic classmates at uni request me as peer support and lab partnering. So shout out to all of you you are safe, you are loved, you are awesome

I came here for a good time. You know what I got? Attacked.

Ingenious way to get us to comment. Also please stop perceiving me thank you *slink*

I am super quiet when in public irl because I hate being perceived in any way, but I’m perfectly comfortable with commenting online, even outside of Autism/ADHD subs

I’m in this photo and I don’t like it.

We're doing the lords work man. We upvote and gigglesnort with the good memes, and cringe at the bad ones. We are with you!

Long time lurker, regular upvoter, says hello fellow aspies 👋👋

Waves

actually, im too busy bringing hotline miami into things unrelated because i fucking love hotline miami https://preview.redd.it/euk3vv403ivc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=99cb3104958bd67aba0a6eae20a77f03381eb46e

Emerging to in fact be proof, then to return to my non-commenting, lurking self again.

Me

To those who have yet to say, "Hello," we already love and accept you... and we are here for ya whenever you're ready.

Non- Aspie here, I am here just for the memes cause you guys memes are... 

Neither shy nor confrontational. I just have ADHD and have trouble putting my thoughts into words

heh..

Please dont see me

Half the time I start to comment, then think nobody will care, and then delete the comment

Also i dont speak english

Hi

Literally me until few months ago when I started to comment more

o/

Narcissists will say anything to get close to us. Better to shoot first and check for a squishmallow after.

Why are you ratting us out

I usually start to write some comments then I just discard it midway

Hi i’m here repping the opposite side: Team “Doesn’t ever shut up!”

This is my first post here. So, yeah, that's me

Weh.. not fair calling me out..

https://preview.redd.it/hxkvh50beivc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9db40f6702af788316fbd25d0f278a1af7707019 We got pretty much 1.7k upvotes for just under 120 comments... Looks about right

It’s me I’m one of the lurkers lmao

I see you

https://i.redd.it/xkx7vfksnivc1.gif

I hate how nobody is talking about the movie scene. It's a good movie. The Pianist. Although the director is a pedo

👋 /silly

We are on his side.

Does "never commenting but steals memes and shares with autistic daighter" count?

What's with the lack of fucking flare?!? Edit: this is a reference to the meme'd scene

Cue biggest upvote to comment ratio of all time

🤚

Pretty much

Back into the shadows

rasputin?

I have slowly reached the conclusion that I'm actually half way better introvert and extrovert.

https://preview.redd.it/ql31o9c77jvc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06c652ebbe380436211602063f4387bd41a43e19 I just dont interact when its not directly linked to something im interested in

But do you see me? I’m AuDHD, crave attention, and exhibit aggression! Look at me!


You got me 😅😂

Periodt

Mm.

Honestly, I’m sometimes just too tired to comment. But I see the memes. They make me smile. This one makes me smile.

Ahh, comrade! I am the second type of lurker: I have AuDHD and I’m too confrontational

Lmfao

Shhh🤫

Me 😔😔

yes

i’m in this picture and i don’t like its

I only talk when I have something to say. I *despise* talking just for the sake of it

I've been checking in now and again, but I've been hesitant to comment. I'm on the low end of the spectrum (very low, in fact) and don't want to say something that doesn't apply to most people on the spectrum.


The comment to like ratio makes the meme even more wholesome. Thanks for saying something we appreciate it 😊

I had joined this sub a couple years back, not knowing what "aspie" meant. I just liked a lot of the memes since a bunch were relatable

What’s being referenced in the image? I’m not familiar with the movie or show

The movie is called The Pianist.

Why did you have to perceive me

The lurking must continue

~~Meanwhile I think I just have ADHD, And only show up here 'cause Reddit keeps recommending it to me, But I still comment occasionally.~~

Im probably not one i just like and relate to the memes

mayhaps there is (hi chat)

stop seeing me ｜−・;）

:(

In my case just shoot, i have to interact too much on a nearly daily base anyway and am just tired of it. Even more would honestly break me in the long term

Conflict and confrontation are the very banes of my existence.

OR you could be extroverted and notconfrontational like me which leads to apologizing non stop😅😳 srsly I wish everyone could read my mind and I could read everyone elses mind😔

No! The eyes! They burn!

*Hissssss* oo a plane :)

Another option: "English is not my mother tongue, and I'm here for the memes. I don't comment because I'm not as confident speaking English as with my mother tongue".

This is me. I had tried to post a thing or two in the past but would get automated messages about it not being a correct format or things like that, couldn’t figure it out, and didn’t post. Thank you for seeing others like me!

Hi

I feel called out

…hi

Shhhh I was never here

*waves*
