Autism spectrum disorder is a condition related to brain development that affects how people see others and socialize with them. This causes problems in communication and getting along with others socially. The condition also includes limited and repeated patterns of behavior. The term “spectrum” in autism spectrum disorder refers to the wide range of symptoms and the severity of these symptoms.

I am part of the autism spectrum, i feel like that its pretty obvious to everyone who reads this website beyond the front page can tell that i am. I talk a lot about my special interests, and i tend to repeat sentences over and over again.
As of late, i have watched a lot of videos on Lolcows from the 2000s and 2010s, and a lot of them are autistic, or i sense they might be.
I watched this video by MagicMush about DeviantArt oddies, and the 3rd person mentioned was an autistic man whose user name is MollyHaleIsMyFriend. He mostly makes colleges like this:

I then looked at the side of this post, and theres about 10 colleges like it:

Now this isn’t a situation like JustinRPG, whose colleges were mostly fetish things. Magicmush pointed out how he seems to be stuck somewhere in his childhood. All the characters he has in his colleges are from his childhood in the 80s and 90s, and Mush pointed out how that his parents probably didn’t know how to deal with an autistic child in the 80s and 90s, and so let him just do whatever.
MollyHaleIsMyFriend’s case is very interesting to me, when he is accused of being a creep he seemingly has a meltdown online, and counties to repeat phrases over and over. His art is repetitive, there’s no doubt, but it makes him happy. I don’t see the harm and the need to harass him is unnecessary.
Now why do i bring him up?
Well, he is a good example of how lower functioning autistics tend to do things like this. I am also lower functioning, and we often get made fun of for our repetitiveness or interests for random things.
My own example is mentioning Rayman is my husband over and over again. To the point i have made people uncomfortable from mentioning over and over again. I understand this, and have made an effort of keeping it in private dms and this journal. Honestly, i do think this is better. I can just info dump on here, and no one is here to judge me. Its MY space on the web. Its FOR ME.
