I'm starting to worry about how relatable these autism memes are
The rule for all memes like this:
If you're like "yeah I sometimes do that," then you're likely just a normie. If you do stuff like this all the time, every time, well, maybe...
These are autism memes. I had no idea.
Nowadays when writing long ass replies to something I like to put them through ChatGPT to make it shorter and more coherent. I can neither confirm nor deny I used such a method for this comment.
Maybe watch a few autists in YouTube. If you find they have the same speech patterns and mannerisms you do, well then you should probably look into it.

Anyway, it's nothing to worry about. You are who you are either way. But if it turns out you're autistic, maybe you can find some help for some of your issues that'll actually help for a change, because most advice just isn't meant for us.
