I'm on the spectrum, but my experience isn't quite the same as yours.
- tags on shirts don't bother me much.
- I'm fine with loud music, especially European power metal, but I tend to keep the volume at 3 instead of going to 11 because I value my hearing.
- I don't like being around lots of people, so I rarely attend concerts.
- The voices of children, especially if they aren't using their indoor voices, pierces my head like a blunt icepick to the point of pain.
- TV/movies/podcasts/audiobooks tend to bore me; I prefer to read and immerse myself in text.
- I have a complexity jones.
It's not really anxiety, it's just that the world wasn't made for guys like me and I don't really belong here. I feel like I'm just doing hard time on planet Earth for a crime I don't remember committing. Must have been pretty fucking heinous, though.
