#random lists

I am… iffy, about some of them, but i think i put those that align less with Ethel in the list because of the aesthetic they give off?? I don’t know.

So, many autistics have a special interest which is a deep interest in particular topics. It can be anything, music, science, books and many other things. There is a stereotype about trains but I also feel like many TV series fall into the stereotype of choosing a specific animal as a special interest.

Here are few examples:

Sam Gardener (Atypical)-penguins Woo Young-woo (Extraordinary Attorney Woo)-whales Nicholas Moss (Everything's Gonna Be Okay)-bugs Addie Darrow (A Kind Of Spark)-sharks

I kinda get the feeling it's just the easiest subject to choose as a special interest and I know the last two were written by autistics but it's still feel too simple sometimes. Animals are a great subject but I know a lot of autistics and they may like weird and special animals but that's not their special interest.

1. They say bother instead of brother. It started as something they only did to their brother, but gradually became a force of habit. Most people just assume its an accent thing.

2. Their teeth chatter when they’re nervous.

3. They take their shirts off one handed.

4. They are bad about flicking water at people after washing their hands. Note: It’s most defiantly on purpose.

5. They start lots of things, but hardly ever finish them. Fun fact, this habit is the whole reasons I post prompts instead of stories.

6. This character keeps a journal, but not for themself. They make diaries for fictional characters they like. 

7. They have a habit of researching random medical conditions, for no real reason. They don’t even have any of the symptoms, how did they fall down this rabbit hole of webMD?

8. They often trace the lines on their palms.

9. They bite the skin off their lips.
