These seem like some awfully specific examples....
I sent that to my girlfriend and she asked me why i wrote that down
Roughly a description of me lol
Oh fuck then I think we both might be autistic.
Whaaaat are you serious? :O
The only things the image is wrong about is being a railway buff and operating a radio station, although I've been looking into setting up a meshtastic network for my group of friends.
So maybe I'm not autistic as I do not fit the exact description? I do collect loads of stuff I don't use, can't get rid of anything, go crazy on perfect cable management, am more interested in collecting tools and make a perfect work station than actually use it, failed school even though I'm not lacking intelligence, I got diagnosed 10 years ago, I struggle with social situations, I don't get people their sarcasm and people don't get mine, I'm a perfectionist, I remember useless facts about everything but I forget anything useful, I dislike the taste of mushrooms because of it's structure, I edited this text ~~4~~ 6 times already because I came up with more stuff after I was finished and can't stand it being incomplete, I'm going to think about what else I missed for the rest of the day so I can't do anything else anymore but I will be too tired to come back and change the text even more, ....
So I don't know. Can't say for certain.
Illegal tools you say?
I would love to know of these clandestine radio stations
This is very cool, are know of any sublemmings for this?
i see a few amateur radio communities but that’s it.
