i think above all else, i tie my aro identity to my autism. like sometimes i wonder if i’m aro just bc i’m autistic, and ykw that’s totally fine for me lol
and while we’re at it, that might be the case for my gender too. being non-binary is quite literally rejecting the binary, and being aro basically subscribes you to relationship anarchy, which also inherently rejects societal norms
that’s so peculiar to me now looking back on myself as a child. i knew romance and gender weren’t fake, but they definitely didn’t feel real lol. i wonder if other queer ppl felt this early on too, and if being neurodivergent makes a difference
i remember being incredibly frustrated every time gender was brought up with validity. “boys and girls” was like saying “cats and dogs.” it’s a phrase to communicate an idea, but we all know they’re not the only ones. romance didn’t rly frustrate me so much as it felt like participating in a game. it was fun choosing ppl to have a crush on, until i was on the receiving end. like, we’re still playing, right?
ppl always say autism means you don’t get social cues, but i don’t think i was misunderstanding anything. i think i was just questioning their value

i'm watching a kurt cobain docu and he's kinda autistic.
disclaimer, this is just for funnsies, i'm not actually diagnosing him, obviously. just some things in common with autistic people. some might just be adhd things (which he's diagnosed with, according to the internet), since they're so comorbid, they might be a little confused in my head
didn't like his schedule broken (insisted his family did the usual weekend game night even when his family wasn't in the mood)
liked the games but only when he won (seemed insensitive to others)
the internet says he was diagnosed w adhd. autism and adhd often go together
didn't know how to make his family to like him
doesn't understand relationships (the situation with the girl w a learning disability)
didn't understand at all that [the girl who later became his girlfriend] had a crush on him - bad at reading social cues?
his girlfriend Tracy said that she nurtured him, was sort of motherly to him, that she helped him mature (and autistics are often considered immature)
it was difficult for him to keep a job
"i use bits and pieces of others personalities to form my own" - masking?
in this one video he was preparing for a concert and asked his friends to be in the first row, so he wouldn't be looking at strangers and literally said "i dislike strangers"
was sensitive to criticism and praise

List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore ♥♥♥
First off, thank you, second, sorry this has been sitting in my inbox for months 😅 I finally put some facts together yesterday in the car when no one was sending me questions from the lists I reblogged smh it's okay I'm not upset
In my original idea for Sharon, she and her dad were both werewolves, they were attacked when she was little. By the time she met Tyler, she learned to hide it pretty well and she was almost fully in control of her wolf side. In the newer version of her story, she's still human when they meet, her father is also human, and if Sharon does actually ever get turned into a werewolf in the end (I'm still debating it), it won't be until her late 20s/early 30s.
Although Sharon doesn't practice the religion she was raised in anymore (but her dad is very much still catholic), she does have some sort of belief in god. She's not sure if she'd still call herself a Christian, in fact, she doesn't really want to talk about her beliefs, she usually keeps them to herself. Adding to that, she's got quite a wide knowledge of various religions, religious symbolism, saints and patrons and other important figures, which comes as a huge surprise to most people. Hell, most people don't even expect her to believe in any god at all.
Sharon struggles with loud crowds. She hates it: she can never fully enjoy a concert, if she even has the courage to go there. It got a little better with Tyler though.
Sharon doesn't show emotions easily. Her resting bitch face contrasts with Tyler, who is constantly pulling exaggerated expressions.
She hates long travels where she can just sit and stare. Long car rides are the worst (can you tell I wrote this while stuck in the car for hours lol), unless she's the one driving. It's still not ideal but it's a bit better, at least she's doing something, you know.
Thanks for the ask! ♥
