What reclusive animal do you as an ASD person most identify with?

NAS71674

I love animals, and recently I have started to identify with certain aspects of an amur tiger. Not the size, power etc of the animal, I am average physically but the psychology and the lifestyle that these animals seem to exhibit. Completely independent, quiet, hidden, discrete and has a sense of order also with no fear in dealing with anything that they feel disturbs the balance and order in their environment.  They can also figure out the source of problems with the tiniest of clues and track the problem down to the source.  What other types of animals do other people with ASD identify with and why?

  • I know dogs aren't really considered reclusive, and I'm probably completely missing the point, but I really find I identify with rescue dogs and dogs with major anxiety and attachment problems. I guess that's because I suffer from both of these myself! I think I understand their competing fear of social interaction and desperate need for love and belonging
