I can barely remember everything that’s blown my mind. Seeing everything that I’ve felt, that’s made me feel so isolated from other people because I can’t explain it, or they just don’t understand is crazy. Especially Echolalia. I literally can’t go for a few seconds without quoting something. Especially Red Dead Redemption 2. Saying “sure” has never been the same after playing that game lol. Reading through this has blown my mind. It’s like reading out my thoughts. Thanks for the support.

    Is this behaviour/personanality classed as introvert? (I’m also an introvert)

    What’s the distinction between introvert and autism here?

      There’s a YouTube channel called, “I’m Autistic, now what?” And one of her videos mentioned this. She said what differentiated autism from introversion for her was she constantly paid attention to her facial expressions and mannerisms while talking with others. But her introverted family members didn’t do that. They just aren’t big into conversations.

      That’s not to say that’s the case for everyone, just what she herself noticed between herself and her relatives.
