What's your current special interest/hyperfixation?

Mine is the Legend of Zelda! Its been a interest for over a year now 0.0 it pretty much takes up most of the space in my brain! Some of my more.. medium?? special interests are mycology and aerospace engineering!

When did you get diagnosed (Alternatively: If you're not diagnosed, when did you suspect you had autism?)

I started questioning late July 2020 because I saw this one video about sensory issues! I looked more into autism and its traits and talked with my dad(also autistic) My mom got me a therapist in September 2020 and I was officially diagnosed in November 2020 >_<

What is your favorite stim/type of stimming?

My favorite is tactile, visual, or auditory! I often like watching videos of slime, using tangles (a type of stim toy!) , or listening to zelda music (esp when im overstimmed its like being hit with a wave of calmness i swear)

What gender and pronouns do you use? Do you identify with any xenogenders?

Im agender/genderflor + 16 xenos i think! My main sets of pronouns are: They/Them, Xe/Xyr, Fang/Fangs, Pup/Pups, Bone/Bones, Mush/Rooms, Glow/Glows!! But If you can't use those for any reason, feel free to just use they/them!

What's your safe/same food?

Mine is spaghetti, a certain type of granola bar, and those go-go apple squeezie packs!

Have fun and have a great day! Byee!

mine's mushrooms and old movies, and I think I might be starting to hyperfixate on Jekyl and Hyde and computers though

If you're not diagnosed, when did you suspect you had autism

about two years ago someone explained to me what sitming and sensory issues were and I started looking into it and other symptoms of autism and realized that I fit the bill pretty well, and my therapist said I was gonna get tested but that was a while ago so idk if thats gonna happen

What is your favorite stim/type of stimming

Full force screaming, weather it be screaming the lyrics to something or just horror movie style shreeking

What gender and pronouns do you use? Do you identify with any xenogenders

no xenogenders just a trans man and I use he/it pronouns

What's your safe/same food

I don't have much trouble with foods, mostly just textures but sometimes when I'm overwhelmed all I can eat is soda

What's your current special interest/hyperfixation?

poetry, idle miner, sketching (i usually hate sketching, i either color or i just go right in), finding the solution to a linear equation using eliminatio (current math unit)

When did you get diagnosed (Alternatively: If you're not diagnosed, when did you suspect you had autism?)

Not officially diagnosed but my primary/therapist/and psychiatrist have all agreed its very likely and would explain a lot of things about me, and said its no surprise it took a while to find out because it doesn't really affect my learning/book smarts, but it messes with my ability to comprehend emotions, figurative language, etc. and ive always been super sensitive to certain sounds, lights, language, and situations which always causes my dad to call me the r slur or ask if im autistic when we literally were in the room multiple times with my doctors and he heard them say its very likely.

What is your favorite stim/type of stimming?

Tactile or vocal fs. Sometimes i will randomly start making noises or singing some random part of a song or putting random things together, and it really helps me focus and its calming. as far as tactile goes, idk if chewing on stuff counts but that is definitely my favorite, ive always chewed on things no matter what it is, and its kinda messed up my teeth, like my dad said. But it makes me comfortable, and most of the time i completely forget im doing it. but flappy hands are also one of my go-tos. my friends all know it means im dealing with something like a v strong emotion, usually happy, so not only is it an indicator, its a way for me to focus that energy on something slightly constructive.

What gender and pronouns do you use? Do you identify with any xenogenders?

while there are a few of us in our system that actually arent autistic, the majority of us are (micheal, jaxxon, karter, rinn, and kate aren't), so we all kinda use differnt pronouns or genders, some of them using xenogenders (i guess its a little ironic that only those who are ND identify with xenogenders) like paris and pink's gender hoard, reid being faegender (they know there are other terms for it but thats the one they choose to use), etc. but a lot of us use neopronouns, even myself, as i use he/it. I identify as a very masc-leaning enby, but most of the time im more comfy just saying im a guy -nathan

What's your safe/same food?

mac & cheese, apple juice, sweet potatoes, and fruit punch. I don't really have any issues with most foods (except jell-o, i hate it, and its texture. its so stupid i hate it so much it makes me so uncomfortable), but when i have different foods on my plate, they CANNOT touch or i will panic. my dad always makes chopped carrots with lasagna, and he just dumps the carrots RIGHT NEXT TO the lasagna and the juices and sauce drip and mix and it touches the lasagna and i need paper towels to stop it, and get rid of whatever parts touched. I cant eat those
