Autistic Woman Updates LiveJournal. Humanity Applauds
1 - Aww, look, it's Depression O'clock. No wonder I went to bed early with mild writer's block.
2- New thing about me that is an autistic trait:
Any time the Disturbed version of "Sound Of Silence" plays, I will immediately, automatically stop what I am doing, shut my eyes, and start swaying and rocking side to side. I literally, neurophysiologically cannot help it. It is a thing I absolutely have to do. It mildly worries me, because what if I am somewhere where it is not a good idea to start rocking and swaying to a song like it's almost a seizure, and hopefully I can get somewhere private. Also, if you interrupt me or start singing, I might try to harm you. My brain automatically goes MY THING GO AWAY.
Note: I've found that there are ways for me to stay alert and aware so I don't freak people out, but it is unbelievably difficult and takes up a lot of processing power. Sometimes if I play the song myself I can control it, but the swaying will happen. If you dare make fun of me for this I will harm you. If you think this is a silly thing that everybody does I will harm you. If you deliberately play the song just to watch this reaction and laugh I will make other people harm you.
3 -I'mma just gonna keep sharing these, because she is awesome and also my editor.
What's that? Get back to work? Yes, editor. Thank you editor.
Fuck it, I'm probably going to wind up doing something like this.
