AS and 'beast mode'/Furry?

Post Reply New Topic

I make animal noises. a lot of people o the spectrum do. When I feel very content or maybe even displeased, I'll meow.I might also make small growly noises, and my boyfriend makes full-fledged animal growls.

We also like furry artwork. I really like the artwork. anything involving animals catches my eye. I find it fascinating. I'm a pink bunny. I really like imaginative play, so this is just another way I express myself. I enjoy the aspect of "being" the bunny. The artwork is really interesting. I love trying to figure out where the animal stops, and the human begins.

I'm not into all that fursuiting stuff though.

But I don't think my noises are related.

I have a habit of sitting on my front verandah imitating the birds. My cat gave me a strange look once when I was doing that.

One of my piano students has Asperger's and he sometimes makes cat noises to communicate with his mother.

Sati is right, you know. Hello, I'm Lupus. I'm twenty six years old and I live in Belgium. I've been diagnosed with Asperger's in my early twenties. I'm therian myself. Most of you will probably raise a brow - I don't know - but there are people out there who aren't roleplaying when talking about their inner animal. I can't explain it myself, but somehow I feel connected with wolves.
I know it's difficult to be hearing this from a complete stranger, but there's a great amount of theriotypes out there. It's quite a broad spectrum, ranging from otherkin to therians. They're fairly gentle, but they are extremely sensitive and will probably never talk about it in public. I'm here trying to figure out where I can find like-minded people.

Best regards,

Animal, human, mechanoid, even demonic..
I mimic(ed) everything. Use to drive my neighbors in the dorm bonkers imitating daleks! LOL

Sincerely,

My daughter growls quite a lot. She was at her athletics class last week. She wasn't 100%, as she had been recovering from an ear infection, but I thought she was OK to go. At the end of the class, the teacher told me that she had been a nightmare and had growled at her like a dog, when she asked her to do something. I think she was shocked at this, as so far her behaviour has been fine - full of energy and wouldn't sit still, but fine nonetheless. I can hear her making animal noises just now, whilst her Daddy's reading the Gruffalo's Child to her.

I see that there are a lot of people here who make animal noises, and I'm really taking your replies seriously, but I for instance can make animal noises all the time without being therian. In fact, I refrain from making animal noises because I know it doesn't make sense to other folk. Besides, I'm not one hundred percent sure whether I'm really carrying a Wolf Spirit inside of me. Claiming you're a fur or furry is easy, claiming you're therian is two steps beyond, in a manner of speaking. It is said to keep a safe distance from time to time. By that, I mean there's a lot of soulsearching to be done. Therians say they went through a phase of 'Awakening' at one point in their lives. Suddenly, all becomes clear, all pieces of the puzzle seem to fall back together again.
Among therian circles, you can't even ask someone if you are therian or not. Being therian or presuming you're therian is a sole mission. You have to go through this all by yourself. Well no, there are indeed communities where otherkin (therians) may gather if they like to (excuse me). These communities aren't that hostile toward each other, though some of them are a hostile place of their own. So there's a catch involved every time you're up to visiting one. Anyway, if you find a good place to settle in, then please go ahead. Most therians, in my opinion, are very kind and open-minded, yet fact remains they suffer from other typical problems as well, be it Asperger's or depression. It doesn't make them insane, it makes them the more human.

Thanks for listening,
Lupus

I love mimicking animals. Animals do their behaviors for logical reasons and that's why animal behavior is my special interest and why I understand the animal world way more than the human one. Just not too many weeks ago I was galloping down the beach like a horse when a couple of my coworkers and I went down to have a fire on the beach. It was awesome. I was able to run faster than I ever have in a human run.

I used to pretend to be a dog when I was a kid...I'd scramble around on all fours (actually, my hands and knees), bark and make panting sounds, and shake my rump to imitate a dog wagging it's tail (which probably looked rather ridiculous, since I didn't even HAVE a tail to wag). No one seemed to like it when I was a dog, tho, and after my mom got really mad at me when I licked her in a restaurant when I was sitting on her lap, I stopped pretending to be one. I'm car - furry now, tho - someone who really likes anthro Cars/planes/trains/electrical appliances (I have a friend who also likes anthro machines who came up with the term) and have a carsona (rather than a fursona): Lil' Pink Coupe.

Not exactly, at least, not as an adult (doesn't every child mimic animals?) but one of my own personal semi-belief/game things I have is that I think when I encounter an animal I wouldn't normally meet, or have a different sort of encounter with one than usual, that animal has a message for me or I should learn something from its traits.

Last week I encountered a black bear, at least twice my size, which passed about nine feet away and stopped to look at me. You can bet I'm now thinking about how I can learn from a bear, which seems very fitting at this point in my life for various reasons.
(you can bet I'm also relieved I didn't have a closer encounter than that... )

I purr sometimes, but never really thought about it.

I've started to growl like a dog when angry when I was a few years old. Never really stopped doing it outside situations where people can see me.
It's just a primal response in me.

Sometimes I purr along with the cat to make it happy.
