    The delightful AuDHD double whammy, I see.

    I can partake in my obsessions to the usual unhealthy level but never remember exact numbers so it’s seen as “not truly autistic” by some gatekeepers lmao

    At least we still get noise canceling headphones(?)

      i made the meme coz i never knew that other neurodivergent ppl loved public transit en masse, and while i personally support public transit over gasoline vehicles, i have not done much research into urban planning via trains. ig if i had to redefine my meme it would be me having the “being obsessed with electric vehicles” autism but it’s coz im from the city of cars lol

      There are dozens of us! Not that I ever met anyone else with this particular flavor but me. I am sorry you got the whammy, too. Can’t say I recommend it.

      If I hear two different audio tracks at the same time, I usually completely short-circuit, or if it catches me off-guard I might faint and collapse.

      Go to dinner party with music, a video game in the living room and several conversations at the same time? Totally crippling. And leading to a migraine if I dont escape it.

      Even hardly going anywhere, I wear headphones and earplugs so much of the time that my ears get sores and infections. I love music but for my sanity I mostly listen to brown noise or classical to drown out the everything outside. I wish the world had a volume dial. Or mute button. I guess then I’d just hear the tinnitus.

      Sorry, I needed to vent for minute.

    Lol I have the lazy train autism where I live trains but can’t tell you fuck all about them I just dig the vibes.

    Edit: wow a lot of people making assumptions and telling me what I should like. I also have persistent demand for autonomy autism so uh…no.
