You may be Autistic if...

Your favorite YouTube channels are also the most underrated.

So many of these are relatable. I'm always on literary novel format.

You have no friends

You don't want friends

some of us are that way, for sure. but others, such as me, after a lifetime of being bereft of bonhomie among like-minded souls, had to wait several decades to get to the point of being too GD tired to care anymore.

You've fallen in love with a special channel devoted to cute animal videos (the cats are my favorites!)

It's a roasting hot day, someone says,
"It looks like snow tomorrow"
and you look up to see if there are snow clouds.

Someone says "How long is a piece of string?" so you go and get a piece and measure it. (My ex GF said she did this once).

You date someone on the spectrum and have not been assessed yourself, and you ask what it means and the description seems normal to you. You then don't understand what asperges is... (As in my case for a couple of years until I joined this site).

You get disgusted and frustrated whenever you see inspiration porn of what is usually an autistic male child.

NTs call your special interests "obsessions", but if another NT has the same interests, they're called "hobbies".

I get a strange thing on model railway sites. When I try to show others how they can do what I do to save money, someone says something like "Not everyone is an expert like you!" (Or words like that).
I often don't know what to say as I know my work is not professional but , I have developed a style I enjoy using and I come accross as different. I have been there and done that in most cases of what many are doing in the hobby, and I decided to find my own area of beauty in the hobby that I enjoy the most.

at least for this aspie, if somebody you trust, tells you that the empire state building was originally constructed upside-down by mistake, you'd believe him.

If you are exceedingly loyal to someone who you think loves you but is really screwing you over.

You have something like the "Cassandra Curse", whereby you always tell the truth and nobody believes you (but if they do believe you, then they say you're "just being mean").

YES!

Your opinions do not matter to anyone except yourself unless someone else expresses the same opinion; in which case, others accuse you of copying the other person even though you expressed your opinion first.

Yes on the "inspiration porn." Those stories about that poor child who has no friends until his mother arranges a party of some sort always make me sad because, if those issues aren't addressed, the cycle will repeat itself year after year.
