I'm autistic, diagnosed at 36. I'm the weirdo who actually likes eye contact, but when people are speaking I watch their mouths to make sure I can understand what they're saying - especially if there's background noise. Still, that was hilarious to hear eye contact described as sucking each other's jelly balls. 🤣
@fizzycolalizzie3 жыл бұрын
this is hilarious, extremely relatable as another autistic person, and at times even touching although i know that wasn't the intention. (the points you made about looking back and wondering what would've been different in your life if you'd been diagnosed earlier struck a chord with me is all.) keep it up mate this is brilliant and there should be more examples of autistic people's experiences being made visible like this. 🥰

I'm 26 now and was diagnosed autistic at 25. Eye contact never made sense to me. Still doesn't. I look at people's mouths when they talk. Which makes much more sense to me. Their mouth is talking not their eyes.

Fellow late-diagnosis Autistic here; I love your description of the mind-shredding, exhausting effects of audio processing differences! You might be the only person who can explain why a motorcycle enthusiast's value and street cred is not in a positive relationship with how loudly and quickly the engine of their vehicle can "rev up". Here in Calgary, AB the easing of city lockdown restrictions allowed these a-holes their run of the downtown; they made enough noise to catch even the attention and ire of neurotypical people-only then did the police start to enforce noise bylaws. Until that point, however, my noise-cancelling headphones saw heavy use.

And then you get me with a voice that doesn't sound like any of there's I later find out it's because I have an Austistic accent but for my whole life before that people thought I sounded American. So what I've gathered from this is People in my country think America's sound Austistic. But also they find it incredibly sexy.

I find looking at people’s eyes a bit weird, I tend to focus on the nose and mouth. I thought perhaps I was autistic but I’m rubbish with music, maths and art, so I guess unfortunately I’m not.

Interesting... I'm a female autistic, and female voices are on my top three things I hate. To me, (most) female voices are like nails on a chalkboard, so I can really only be acquainted with females with huskier voices (like myself). But for real... the eye contact thing. Yeah. I know I'm supposed to, so I can turn my head toward the person, but for some reason, no matter how hard I try, my jelly balls will not cooperate with following the motion of my head.

@joewellscomic2 ай бұрын
I think it's the build up of lots of voices in public. The sudden changes in volume, big groups laughing all of a sudden etc it's more that mens voices are generally louder than the raspy/scratchyness. music (even gangsta rap) I know whats coming and it tends to be only one voice at a time.
