What should I expect during my autism diagnosis?

(I am struggling with my mental health and can't seem to answer individual asks. However, I think I'd like to start a series that will let me have go-to answers, continue helping people, and not affect my brain.)

This is follower participation! 🙂

Please list:

What age you were diagnosed or just "childhood"/"adult"

Country you were diagnosed in

Tests taken before hand or any preclinical requirements you experienced

The diagnosis itself, length of time etc

How you felt afterwards, any difficulties you had etc

You can keep it simple or go into detail!

My hope is to have a vast resource that followers can see and that I can easily link to when asked.

Look i hoped it would be a hyperfixation but it has been weeks and i am still not done with it so looks like i found my personality for a while

the autistic/adhd feeling when you get a new interest but you can’t tell whether it’s a special interest or just a hyper fixation, so you just wait for the impending doom of said interesting fizzling out

Everybody says that Ncuti will be the 14th/15th doctor, but its more like 17th/18th or even more! Some regenerations just are not numbered. :D

One of my favorite things is learning random facts about random things. When I got my autism assessment I scored crazy high in general knowledge because I like to know ALL the things.

Anybody got some good random facts? Info dumping is welcome. Please tell me the minutiae of your favorite things.

Definetly! I always try to check in with them if its still okay, but they never give a definite answer, but also they tease me about how they are sick of hearing it, but also it sounds like a joke so i have no idea what to do and i keep going lol

Does anyone else feel embarrassed after getting carried away with your hyperfixation in front of someone who you know may not be interested in it? Like you exposed yourself in a way you shouldn't have?

Please reply with you experience, I need to know to deal with this.

Thank you for this ^^

Can we normalize having a special interests and not knowing everything about it? Like I throughly enjoy my special interests but I can't remember what I ate let alone every fact about giraffes. I used to make fact pages on the computer filled with information but I've never been able to actually remember most of it.

And I think it's okay to not know every detail, and it doesn't make it any less of a special interest.

Yes.

Special Interest vs Hyperfixation

This post is about how I PERSONALLY have come to define these words. There is no clear consensus on the distinction, so I have made my own. I am not trying to control how other people use these terms or who uses them, so do not argue with me about that. You’ve been warned.

How are special interests and hyperfixations commonly distinguished?

Many people say that special interest = autism and hyperfixation = ADHD. I’m not a fan of saying, “This thing is basically the same in each, but we’re using different words based on which box you’ve been sorted into.”

Another way people distinguish is by saying special interests are long term/permanent and hyperfixations are short term. That’s a start, but it doesn’t really explain why one would be long and one short—unless they serve different functions.

My definitions are about the functions of these kinds of interests.

Special interests

I define special interest as a topic of intense interest to someone, usually an autistic person, that serves an important function: they are a way to organize/understand the world, one’s emotions, relationships, etc, and also a safe, structured way of interacting with other people/the world. Because they become integral to how one sees/interprets the world, people often describe special interests as part of their identity.

For autistic people who are not great at masking, their special interest might be the only thing they want to talk about. Sharing information about one’s special interest can be how people express affection (“I am trusting you with this important part of me!”) and could be considered a neurodivergent “love language.”

Think of Aaron in The Mitchells vs the Machines. He goes through the phone book calling people to ask if they’d like to talk about dinosaurs with him, and when his sister Katie is leaving for college, he expresses his anxiety and tries to make sense of what is happening by asking what happens to velociraptors when one leaves the pack.

Hyperfixations

Saying hyperfixations are just short-term special interests does not do them justice, and it doesn’t make sense! Special interests are about becoming an expert in a topic so it can serve as a secure base from which to approach trickier aspects of life. But hyperfixations often fizzle out after reaching the “expert” stage. Why is that?

Hyperfixations serve a different (also important) purpose: dopamine! It’s all about the thrill of the chase. The consumption of information at light speed. Chronically understimulated brains use hyperfixations as a way to produce more of the neurotransmitters they need so badly. This is why they often fizzle out once the game is complete, the show has been binged, or you’ve learned all there is to know on a subject: the novelty is what creates that first flash flood of dopamine that our brains find so delicious. I had more hyperfixations back when I was stuck in boring classes all day. My brain was desperate for stimulation.

Similarities

Both special interests and hyperfixations are unusually intense interests. Both of them can feel necessary for survival—because they are survival strategies developed by neurodivergent brains for surviving in a neurotypical-designed world! They both serve important functions that go beyond simple enjoyment or relaxation. And while special interests in autism have been pathologized the most, both hyperfixations and special interests—in whomever they occur—are often dismissed, bullied, or discouraged by people who do not see their importance and utility.

I’ve made it sound black and white here, but it’s not. These two can overlap. Hyperfixations often “mellow out” into special interests, special interests can produce happy brain chemicals. Also, in my experience, I’ve known more autistic people with special interests and more ADHD people with hyperfixations, and I will continue to talk about them largely in those contexts… but I am an expert on no one’s mind but my own. I don’t police who uses these words.

So, to sum up.

Special interest: an organizational framework for understanding the world and for understanding and navigating emotions and social relationships.

Hyperfixation: an adaptive response to chronic understimulation by “mining” a subject for neurotransmitters.

I get lost in my hyperfixations. I would get lost without my special interests. Both are important functions!

Idk but i like it very much

I’m definitely here for the resurgence of autistic!doctor but where is it coming from?

Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care

Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck

Just spent two days infodumping about Doctor Who to a friend any time we saw each other. She is my roommate :)

On the other hand, she is terrified of TVs now, because i showed her that one episode with the cable and people's faces dissapearing...

Welcome twitter users fleeing the absolute cesspool that twitter is going to become as Musk gets his way with his awful ideas! Things are better here, and hey, if you're an old user coming back, they've actually improved shit!

Here's a list of important notes for tumblr usage:

Don't censor words, particularly trigger warnings. Tumblr has a very functional blacklist (found in your settings) that can filter by post content and/or tags. But the word needs to actually be present for the filter to work. Censoring words like r*pe is actively harmful to people attempting to avoid those topics.

Use tags liberally, you have as many as you want, but don't tag unrelated shit. You'll get reported for spam really fast if you do.

Set an avatar and reblog things, otherwise you look like a bot.

You are not obligated to have your real name anywhere in your blog/bio/etc. Most people here use handles.

You can turn your ask box & anons on or off if you are experiencing any kind of harassment. You can also turn off replies on your posts, and turn off reblogs if you need to.

Tumblr has keyboard shortcuts on desktop. You can find them listed under the blog/account menu. Go learn them, they make life so much easier.

Reblog things. Seriously. Also set your dash in chronological order. You can maintain several blogs if need be, but reblogging things is normal, expected, and how you pass along stuff you enjoy.

The majority of people aren't reading your card/dni/blog bio before they reblog stuff. Posts get passed around and the OP often isn't the focal point of the post. Learn to live with it.

Fic writers: you have unlimited words, do not post fics as images.

Reblogs with comments/tags are encouraged. It's not like twitter's QRTs. The OP will see everything there. Know that before you comment.

You have a queue. This means you can set posts up ahead of time to run while you're busy. You can also completely ignore this and just spam your follows whenever you're online. Both are very commonplace

It's not weird to go through someone's blog and reblog old posts. That's actually very normal. If you add /chrono to the end of a tumblr page then you can view all the posts in chronological order to make this easier.

"Spam" liking and reblogging isn't a thing that is a problem. This is invented by people I do not understand. If someone claims this is a problem, they can learn how to turn off or manage their notifications.

The only form of promotional posts that tumblr has is "blaze". There is no ad targeting or any kind of invasions of privacy with blaze. You just get subjected to w/e someone wants to show you. If you want to give tumblr some money to help the company keep going and providing an alternative to twitter, it's not a bad way to do it. You can make people look at cat photos.

Also, we have fun colors here. Plus actual formatting ability. Use it!

People lie on here for fun. Don't accept everything you see at face value, check the reblogs/replies or google something if you're skeptical! Critical thinking is good!

Above all else, be chill, use your block button if you need to, and have fun.

I dont care about the recorder please come here silly man

If you write better than you draw i think i will die reading it cause this is amazing

drawing for my fic on ao3, because apparently I have lost my goddamn mind

(I write better than I draw, I swear)

Ryan “I fell into a pile of bricks as a kid” Bergara and Shane “I had a nose bleed the first time I entered a church” Madej

why is every new detail that shane drops about his life so INCREDIBLY FUCKING WILD and yet he reveals them as if he’s mentioning that he caught a movie the other day that was kinda neat

“oh yeah i went into church with a friend and i immediately got a nose bleed”

“yeah i heard laughter coming from the foot of my bed but i just shrugged it off and went back to sleep”

“i ate worms and bugs as a child”

“my dad was struck by lightning”

Wilbur will be on the Dream SMP panel at VidCon and will also be on a panel with Puffy to record an interview for her podcast!

I always think it is so so lovely how nicely Wilbur talks about the dream smp, because of course he is!! he did that!! and people loved it and it's so big and so cool and he did such an amazing job!! but like the way he never really does the whole "ooo cringe mc roleplay haha" jokes because like while I don't hate on my other favs for doing that (like joke about your creations and experiences all you want, it can be a little bit funny) it's just so validating and nice to hear him speak so highly and seriously about something that so many people enjoy and spend time creating art and work about like idk!! It's just so cool

Ranboo: Someone just said "kissing men stream pog" ...I'm going back in. I'm pulling a Misha

not he did not

I don't remember how i got here, or how long has it been. Counting the days is pointless. There is nothing for me to loose - i am mourning the loss of my gender, my braincells and my social life.

are you a dsmp fan who got into it because :

1. it was the new minecraft smp

2. your favourite creator(s) did, or

3. it got big (edit: includes because an artist/friend you follow got into it)

Women: amazing, spectacular, never the same...

Gestures women

Obsessed with this

Lmfao hey. This is a reupload of a ‘do you love the color of the sky post’ (the philza version) because my first art account got yoted. Very sorry about this (not really). Also is ‘long post’ still banned. Can y’all see this?

Do you love the color of the sky, Mr Minecraft?

Hello, you’re here now.

This took a month - I am sloww. From July 23rd to August 23rd 2021

Edit after reupload: a cut up version is on Twitter lol

The rest of this will be a copy a paste (with edits) from the previous blog. All the rambles and explanation for each part and each person (as in why Tubbo is being held by his leg/ my thought process for them)

Before I start rambling, I want to mention the fact that Phil is never looking at the sky around him, but at the faces and expressions of his friends.

There are two more people in addition to the sbi and Kristin from the last one (The first version of this post). Tubbo and Ranboo, whom I just consider sbi++ tbh.

First one is none other than Miss Kristin herself. I actually used a picture from their Instagram as reference for their clothes. I actually straight up imagine this was from their wedding day(?). I hope I drew Ms Kristin okay. I’m still figuring out how to draw her tbh.

Second is Wilbur. So when I was drawing all of them, I was thinking of what expressions they all would be making. Like Kristin and Phil would be all happy and stuff. And the idea of Wilbur just fucking grappling with the idea that if Phil drops him, it’s fucking over. He’d be done for. Dead (maybe). That idea was funny to me for some reason. So I imagine he just has a look of acceptance/fear while Phil is trying to figure out if he’s okay.

Third is Tommy. He probably gets dropped. L. Because you probably don’t carry someone like that while flying. (Probably because how am I supposed to know.) Tommy is just fucking screaming his lungs out btw.

Tubbo! He actually fucking fell. I asked my friend, “Help me make a decision. Tubbo and Phil. Cute. or Chaos.” “chaos” “CHAOS IT IS” So the idea, in my head, is that Tubbo was originally given a piggy back ride. Tubbo, chaotic, just sort of climbs Phil like a jungle gym or smt and sits on his shoulders. It was great for like five seconds and then he fell. You fucking bet he’s grappling with the idea of death.

Ranboo. The one picture I had in my head the whole time I was drawing them was just. “L o n g c a t.” Cause Ranboo was drawn in such a way that I was thinking of cats being picked up.

Techno. Again, that’s not the way you hold someone while flying but yeah. Techno is probably the only other person to not feel fear in this whole thing. The first being Miss Kristin

(It seemed fitting for Ranboo and Techno to have the aurora scene)

And the last one. Idk man I just wanted to draw a god.

This is the Angel of Death, between storm and chatters.

(The feathers mean nothing, they’re just a nice transition)

(If you made it here, please, please, please, consider reblogging. Thoughts in tags or not, I will appreciate you so much)

Dont mind me, just saving this for the future... All of them just sound so great!

muffix reads a shit ton of sbi & dnf fics (and here are some of my favs) <3

high school au, pining, fluff & humor, getting together, 13.5k words 5 chapter completed

❤︎ where dream hopelessly pines for george and records 50 reasons why they should get together, but george is clueless on who his not so secret admirer could be. this one is super cute and wholesome, george is oblivious but it works out well anyway <3

Reason #48: We've made out on my couch before, and if that's not love, I don't know what is.

Everyone's convinced that Dream and George are dating - even Dream himself. Surely, with the sitting-in-each-other's-laps, having-after-school-'dates', knowing-the-feeling-of-each-other's-lips-on-their-own... surely they're dating.

But with the recent revelation that George does not, in fact, believe he is romantically involved with his best friend, Dream decides to take their relationship into his own hands, through a lovely playlist of 50 reasons why George should date him.

The only problem with that? George is dense as fuck, and has no clue it's Dream's voice he's hearing. Dream decides to see what playing dumb gets him.

(Spoiler: it gets him a boyfriend.)

Dream and George really didn't mean to hide their relationship from their team. Really, they just never got around to telling them. And then everyone started thinking they hated each other for some reason. Then, the idea of telling everyone was just plain daunting. Until now.

❤︎ where dream is a very famous actor and george is george, they both are very much in love, and they decide to reveal this to karl and quackity. part one of a series of one shots, I definitely recommend on reading all of them!

When looking at GeorgeNotFound, the decently popular Minecraft YouTuber, you would think he was a relatively ordinary guy. Makes content at least once a week, hangs out with his friends on streams, posts pretty often on Twitter, the typical makings of a regular YouTuber.

Of course, like all the other streamers, George has many secrets. One time, when he was 17, he blacked out at a party and woke up in a bush. He’s poured soda over his head and drank bath water for goals on streams before. And he’s dating one of the most famous modern day actors, Dream.

aka the one where dream an actor and george is still a mcyt and theyre a little (a lot) in love

❤︎ where george is a dream stan, and after a flirty encounter in twitter they start talking, and maybe sorta (a lot) fall in love. this one was really funny but also super sweet, they r such dorks, and there is a part two which is just a cute oneshot.

George: i was working sapnap. why the fuck are you acting like the world is ending

George fits his thumb between his teeth as he waits for Sapnap’s reply. He expects he won’t have to wait long, as the younger is rarely far away from his phone. Sure enough, mere seconds later three grey dots appear at the bottom of the screen and George stares at them intently as he waits for Sapnap to finish typing.

Sapnap: check dream’s tweets and replies on twitter.

George lets out a sigh of frustration. Why does Sapnap have to be so overly dramatic? But still, George navigates to twitter and types “dreamwastaken” in the search bar, clicking his profile when it appears, and then on Tweets & replies.

The page loads, and he almost drops his phone in shock.

What the actual fuck.

Dream is a popular Minecraft Youtuber and George runs a stan account for him on Twitter. After George replies to one of Dream's tweets with a jokingly flirtatious proposal, it quickly turns into a lot more than George was expecting when Dream publicly accepts.

George chokes on his spit, angrily snapping his Sugar Quill in half. He looks mournfully at the two sugary halves before shoving one in his mouth, chewing it in exasperation. “I don’t have a crush.”

“Oh! We’re talking about Dream!” Sapnap leans against George, his legs neatly placed in Bad’s lap. “Yeah, you do dude. You literally went bright red at the end of the Quidditch match the other day,” Sapnap gleefully comments, snatching the other half of the broken Sugar Quill and popping it in his mouth.

“Stop it, I don’t have a crush on Dream!” George spits out loudly, watching as Techno and Wilbur look over curiously, chuckling at him before turning back to their game. George wants to Obliviate himself on the spot.

“You said you're a god, right? Does that mean you have some form of riches?”

At that, Dream scoffs. “I don’t. Riches are only of mortal sin… But I can do this.”

Picking up a stone from the ground, Dream holds it in his palm, the space around it darkens and once he opens his hand again, the stone from earlier is replaced by a shiny golden ingot.

With widened eyes, George pulls the man’s hand to eye level. Assesses the tiny clump for a few seconds. Takes it. Bites it. Hard.

Dream gives him a disgusted look but George ignores it as the cogs in his head turn. It’s real gold.

Holy— George is a genius.

Dream just smirks, leaning forward on the desk that separates them. The movement sends George's copy of Hamlet tumbling to the floor in a flurry of pages. George winces. "What do you think, George? Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?"

“Please don't," George says desperately.

A month into their senior year of high school, Dream spends the entirety of period three AP Literature class finding new and creative ways to flirt with George. George is understandably flustered.

“George, how do you feel about playing against an old rival tomorrow?”

He hummed, twiddling his thumbs, feigning boredom, “You mean Dream? I’m not worried about him in the slightest.”

The room went silent, and the PR guy sighed, motioning for another reporter to speak. She asked, “Have you been able to share any tactics with your teammates about playing against Dream. He’s one of the top players on the Union’s roster, so I imagine it must be a bit daunting preparing to go up against him.”

George shrugged, “Dream is dogwater, we could have a random walk-on come in and beat him tomorrow night. That’s what I told my team.”

“Oh god,” the PR rep whispered, head buried in his hands.

❤︎ five years after their breakup, George goes to one of dreams concert. I love this fic <3 it’s hurts so bad, but is so sweet, Ugh, it’s hard to explain, just read and you’ll get it.

The screams around him intensify as the vocalist sings the first lines of the song— but it’s all a blur.

Because at that moment, Dream looks out into the crowd and meets his eyes.

(or where almost five years after their break up, George was dragged to a band concert where his ex boyfriend is the lead guitarist)

two sides to your confessions by anonymous

the amazing spiderman au, superhero au, not actually unrequited love, first kiss, confessions, high school au, nicknames, relationship reveal, hurt/comfort, 4.2k words oneshot

❤︎ where dream is spiderman, and decides to tell George his identity, and also maybe how he truly feels about him.

“George, I have to tell you something.” The words are whispered, almost too quietly to be heard over the wind.

George tilts his head to the side to eye Dream, eyebrows knitted in confusion. “Okay… you can tell me anything, Dream,” he murmurs, noting the way that the other boy becomes fidgety. His hand is locked around his wrist and his face is flushed. George thinks it’s probably from the cold.

SBI-CENTRIC FICS (+ MORE) <3

change rate by being aggressively kind by sircantus

sbi centric, magic au, fantasy au, prophecies, found family, hurt/comfort, angst & fluff, family dynamics, world building, philza is a good dad,madoption (kinda ?? he kinda just took them lmao), 99.2k+ words 24/? chapters

❤︎ where techno, will, and tommy are children of the prophecy that are destined to destroy and end the world, and phil is just a guy who wants to find them and keep them safe. I LOVE THIS FIC SM <3 this author in general is so good, even if you don’t really read sbi still go check it out trust me!! I’m weak for found family and hurt/comfort lmao.

“You do understand that you’re caring for the thing meant to bring destruction and chaos to our world, right?” The woman asks, Phil looking behind him fondly as Techno grabs at the ends of his wings.

“He’s just a child.” Phil answers distractedly, humming as his wings get gently yanked at.

“He’s the first of three to destroy life as we know it! Shouldn’t we, well, get rid of him?!”

“Oh, no.” Phil raises his eyes with a sharp glare. “Believe me, I have my own way of preventing the apocalypse.”

---

Or, Techno, Wilbur, and Tommy are basically chaotic forces of nature, destined from birth to end the world and bring destruction. Most who hear of the tale of them are trying their best to track them down, and to end the monsters while they’re still young, still just children.

Phil has a different plan.

(In which Phil raises the minecraft equivalents of the anti-christ with love and support, so much so to the point where the world ending is really just a funny thought, and Phil has three kids who casually have powers that are bit more extreme than anything else in the world)

( also if you guys have any fics like this make sure to tell me I like this a lot lmao)

passerine by blujamas

sbi centric, royalty au, gods & goddesses, major character death, angst, found family, techno is a god that phil just found lmao, king philza, prince will & tommy, 76.3k words 7 chapters completed

❤︎ royalty au where phil and techno are immortals, and will & tommy are princes. you’ve probably heard of it, passerine! it’s really good and I definitely reccomend reading it if you haven’t, it’s so good, it’s definitely a tear jerker which I love, I need to feel something lmfao 💀.

“I understand. You heard the place you loved was in trouble, so you came back, but I don’t—I just—why didn’t you take me?” Here it was, at last. Catharsis, or something close to it. “I would have hunted them down with you, Philza, the people who did that to your town. I would have given you your vengeance on a silver platter. I would have given you the world.”

Philza didn’t look guilty. He just looked tired. “I didn’t hunt them down, though.”

//

Or, that fic where Techno and Phil are old immortals, and Tommy and Wilbur are decidedly... not.

❤︎ passerine! dteam, it’s a prequel. I’m pretty sure this one can be read stand alone? idk tho.

“You know, you might be the only thing alive that knows my name. I don’t know how long I’ve been sleeping, but it must have been long enough for people to have forgotten.” The stag finished the last of the berries and stared at George wonderingly. George chuckled, plucked another handful to offer to it, and continued, “I’d gone to sleep tired. And I wake up tired. Tell me, do you think that’s fair?”

The stag, because it was a stag, did not reply.

But George didn’t mind that, either.

Or, that fic about passerine!Dream Team, but before passerine.

Ranboo brushes a thumb over his memory book, the knowledge of Tubbo's entry still fresh in his mind from his quick recap on the way over.

Tubbo: Ex-president. Tommy's friend. Lives in Snowchester. Friend?

"You don't have to, I guess," Tubbo shrugs, rubbing his hands together for warmth. "Just a suggestion."

"You're sure you want me to live here?"

Tubbo frowns. "Why wouldn't I?"

"Well, I mean, we're... We're not exactly friends."

Tubbo's hand - the bad one, the one that's mostly scar tissue - twitches, and Ranboo can sense that he's said something wrong. "Are we not?"

-

Ranboo and Tubbo go from barely friends to doting husbands in a matter of weeks, adopting a child and building a mansion somewhere along the way. Here are some of the moments in between.

CLASSIFIEDS by thanotphobia (blueooojay)

SCP au (if you don’t know what that is, it’s a made up organisation that contains supernatural/strange entities), sbi, family dynamics, dadza, I don’t want to give too many spoilers but just know that sbi do have powers, found family, 13.8k 9 chapters completed

❤︎ SCP au with sbi + tubbo :D !! I listened to this from the podfic version (which can be found here) which I recommend because it is told through files so it think it just flows better told through pod fic? to each to their own i guess tho lmao. I really liked this one, and I really recommend it, it’s not nearly as popular as I thought it would be and it definitely deserves more :)

These files are for Level 4 personnel or above. Any attempts to access these files without Level 4 clearance will be severely punished.

(SBI SCP AU, inspo taken from the fic "i will be changing soon" by skittykitty here on AO3 and art done for that fic @kjjrro on twitter!)

PART 1

---

Ranboo’s LED turned blindingly scarlet, and Tubbo thought that if androids had true blood, it would’ve drained abruptly from Ranboo’s cheeks.

“What was- was that a laugh?” Tubbo asked, a tad hesitantly, more curiously. “I didn’t know you could laugh. Are you okay?”

A silence stretched, and Ranboo’s eyes had gone unfocused again. Tubbo slowly set the towel aside, leaning closer. “...Ranboo?”

“I-I believe,” The android began, and his body jolted slightly. There was a noticeable stutter in his voice, and Tubbo’s eyes flickered nervously to the red of his temple. “I am experiencing some- some software instabilities. I am sorry."

They watched the light get closer and closer before it broke through the trees, three men with it.

It must have been strange, seeing two teenagers with a car out in the middle of nowhere. Especially with one standing atop the car pointing a gun at them and the other kneeling as he aimed a loaded crossbow.

--

In which a mute Tommy and deaf Tubbo try their best to survive during a zombie apocalypses whilst dealing with the trauma they carry with them. On top of that, zombies and other survivors just won't leave them alone. They just want a break.
