Would you care to elaborate on the Sid and Davo autism truthing because I agree but I want to hear your thoughts?

Not To Diagnose Men I Don't Know, But:

autism is highly characterized by:

restrictive interests, which they are highly invested in (you know. stories growing up about how they ONLY ever wanted to play hockey, connor for instance getting fixated on how the other kids "weren't doing enough" when his team was losing)

resistance to change in routine (sid keeping that jockstrap for EIGHTEEN PLUS YEARS, refusing to move/adjust things in his pregame routine that aren't "lucky," etc)

social difficulties (connor was described as a child + teenager as "painfully shy," "blunt to the point of being phlegmatic," etc, sid was sweet but there are stories of him not understanding why he was being picked on and stuff)

i think professional sports and especially ones where the pipeline starts as young as it does in hockey are essentially a breeding ground for neurodiverse individuals to "hide," as it were. hyperfixation and special interests are "good work ethic," ocd superstitions/autistic commitment to routine is just "pregame ritual", adhd energy is "drive."

that absolute narrow focus a lot of neurodiverse individuals can get, in the context of competitive sport, is a fairly straightforward way to get really really good at something really really fast, which is how individuals like sid or davo or nathan mackinnon or countless others all show up with reputations like "incredibly skilled, relentlessly focused, will stop at nothing to win."

im going to leave my thoughts on it at that; im not intimately familiar with the psychiatry and ethics of competitive sport and how they intertwine, so i don't have much else to say. sidney crosby's giant eyes DO have tbh swag though i love him

#sidney crosby #connor mcdavid #asks #you see posts like eichel going through his INCREDIBLY detailed and precise pregame routine and you think.#theres no way on earth that man is neurotypical . if he listens to the exact same songs for each piece of equipment and stuff #that post thats like 'lots of jocks are just autistic but their special interest is sports' fixed me #practice is a stim #etc etc etc

the true lumity dynamic is just

(luz is the btw and amity is the tbh)

#eliot posts #toh #the owl house #lumity #luz noceda #luz is practically confirmed adhd #and amity is so so autistic to me even if it wasn't done on purpose #the stimming. special interests. missing social cues. taking metaphors literally. using social scripts/repeating others' phrasings #she is autistic your honour #some chud once told me i was ''reinforcing harmful stereotypes'' abt autistic ppl by saying she was autistic #because ''i'm autistic and i don't do those things!''#like shut up not everyone's autism looks the same and just cuz you don't have certain symptoms doesn't mean they aren't real #i'm still annoyed

#a thing ive realized while working on these is that #organizing moodboards and stimboards that look aesthetically pleasing actually takes a decent amount of knowledge in composition #and how colors interact with each other #but they allow you to learn and play with these skills in a way friendly to people who arent able to draw #i appreciate them a lot for that actually.. very enjoyable practice #stimboard #orange stim #pink stim #machine stim #uhh you know what #five pebbles #why not #i love him

Since I did that one exercise of Floofty with lighter palms I decided to do one of Snorpington and Gramble. Ofc Snorpy gets this treatment since like his sibling, he's black too. But I designed Gramble to be mixed race so it makes sense for him too!

out of curiosity, *do you practice what you want to say in your head

#polls #nano bits #posts brought to u by me being reminded even calling attendance #made my tummy churn all the way up to college ngl #whenever i wanted to say smth in class and yk how u have to raise your hand?? i practiced a couple of times #what i wanna gonna say before even raising one #regardless of if i knew the answer or not. if teachers called on me without my mental preparations i WOULD #blank out #it was annoying to everyone asfhshdhdhd to me too but the kids were oftentimes mean about it if i took too long #Also there was that one time that shame from being told off by another student because i sang a lot #(possibly some sort of vocal stimming) just. kept me from singing for a long while. And BOY DID IT SUCK #but that's neither here nor there #anyways. (reaches out a hand) let's unravel our traumas together (light-hearted jesting)

people who pace as a stim and have creative hobbies: do you also need to pause and do an almost involuntary little sprint around the room when your progress is going well

#Trying to practice keyboards but every time I get in the swing I Stop being in the swing #bc I'm so happy I gotta go chase my tail in circles like a puppy I guess #I get the feeling this is one of those experiences that's quite common but no one lets on about cause they don't wanna sound odd #I sure don't stim when anyone's around for that reason lol
