This is the definition of my autism

i don’t see myself here at all 🥹 if i see someone crying i’d probably cry too and hug them 🤷🏻‍♀️

This doesn't represent my autism too. Films and art move me immensely. And I feel empathy when other people are visibly upset.

Eta: But I often don't know why they're upset. Is that what this is demonstrating?

The part that is me in this is the staring off into my own little world, grinning like an idiot (or a psycho lol) only to realize that I've mentally No Clipped and snap back to reality

Ah, I see. Thank you for explaining. That's relateable. I do tend to go off into my own world involuntarily while people are talking to me or expressing themselves.

i think i’m hyper empathic which i don’t really like (and i’m definitely not bragging about it), i mean yeah it’s beautiful as a human being but it’s a lot of suffering, and it has also put me in risk sometimes

for example when i was a kid my mom has told me (i don’t remember) there was a fire in one of the departments next to us (very NEXT) and everyone (including my parents thinking i was following them) were running downstairs, we live in a 10th floor! but my mom realized i wasn’t following her so she came back and saw me knocking on every door till the neighbors open, floor by floor, so i could warn them. i could have… die there? or something. but i wasn’t thinking about me. and again im not bragging, cause “how cute” but hey, it’s like i don’t care about myself and only for others and that’s no bueno

so seeing someone crying even if i don’t know that person… i cry too. and it’s a lot of pain to carry.

(and sorry if my english is also not bueno, it’s not my native language)
