Post a random truth (about yourself)

I sometimes have tics that happen always in my legs that happen at home.

My mom and my NT sister both believe that I'm making this all up.

Are the tics a sign of something?

My social skills are very bad.

My dad gives me s**t for a tic where my leg bounces.

Funny thing is that he has it too and so does his brother.

I wonder if it's common for spectrumites and those adjacent to be irritated by other people openly displaying traits that they've put effort into masking.

Corollary, I wonder if that might explain some fraction of bullying, especially when it involves folks on or adjacent to the spectrum amongst ourselves. It's either corrective (hey, that's going to get you picked on by people worse than me) or because they've had to "correct" that behaviour and now have negative associations with that behaviour, so if they can't do it you sure as hell can't because it triggers those negative associations.

I used to have bad tics when I was like 9-10 but my mother never did anything about this because, as she claims, "children shouldn't take psychotropic drugs". So all her so called methods of "curing" me boilt down to her malicious remarks that I "looked like a barking dog" then.

I'm very sleepy in the winter months
