Austistic things you do

[Anonymous No.21868134]

I often like to read in public on a train or at a cafe.. however I wait until I am atleast halfway through a book before reading it in public, otherwise people will think I'm not serious about reading.
So I read the first half as urgently as possible indoors so that I can resume my regular reading schedule at the cafe.

Look at this picture
What a freaking dumbass he looks, reading the first page of the book. It's obviously the first book he's picked up and once he gets off the bus he'll close the book and never reopen it.

Enter an inconsolable screaming fit at loud noises
Lose hours watching a branch sway in the wind
Love to hide under the couch cushions and pretend I am the couch
Become agitated when people talk to me about things that are not trains

I was once riding the subway and saw a cute girl with a Kindle make eye contact with a guy across who was also reading a Kindle and she smiled at him. I wanted to scream at her that I-I-I also have a K-k-kindle, I just don't have it with me r-r-r-right now. What are you reading, m'lady?

I like to take Philosophy books to cafés and provide commentary while I read. For example, I’ll come to a poignant sentence and say aloud “Spengler, you clever old dog!” I mostly do this to gauge the reaction from the other patrons. I’ve had a few neck beards try to strike conversation if I am reading a conventional philosopher (say Plato or Neitzche) but generally I am met with uncomfortable annoyance. By fortune of genetics I am actually rather handsome so I especially enjoy doing this when there are girls around and I get to witness their initial interest in my appearance come to visceral odds with my perceived autism.

I only read, watch anime, and play games at night. I also only eat at night and work at night. I told my boss I would only work on breaks from now on, for which I was eventually fired. Whenever I put a bag down I do it several times because I want to make sure the ground is actually solid and it won't fall into a pit of lava or something. I wash anything that touches or scrapes against my walls. When I was at work, I would insist on having meetings in the janitors closet or the basement because I told everyone the La Cia are out to get me and governments would kill to access the secrets stored on my hard drives. I spend about 3 hours a day cleaning my apartment. I will never touch any females because I didn't get over that girls = dirty phase after pre-school. When I walk around I police my own thoughts because I'm afraid that people can read my mind or there might be someone with telekenetic abilities or some kind of government mind laser who happens to be in the vacinity. When I play my Nintentdo DS, I rotate 360 degrees twice before turning the console on. I don't know why I just do it.

Whenever I walk through a threshold like a doorway or reach the landing of a stairwell, I feel like if I don't clear the threshold quicker, a murderer will see me so when I get clear, I inhale sharply and snap my fingers if I think I made it in time. If I feel like I didn't make it in time, my heart sinks and I slink home.

There's too many distractions for me to read at home, so I used to read in bars. One time a drunk girl came up to me and asked what I was reading, and I told her "Gabriel García Márquez", and she very clearly had no idea who or what that was, so she just gave me finger-guns, said "Latinx!!!" and slowly backed away.

Solid schizo. Any books with this feel? I read PKD - Retreat Syndrome, but the MC wasn't so far gone into the depths of insanity.

I use Ren'Py to format short stories and novellas as visual novels. I find it way more immersive, plus you're less distracted by your phone because you're occupied by clicking on the UI. I read Henry James's 'The Coxon Fund' in that manner, and James's 'In the Cage'. Sometimes I have make some edits and cuts to better fit the visual novel form but I think I stay true to the artistic integrity of the piece. I'm halfway through adapting 'The Shadow in the Rose Garden' by DH Lawrence.
