I feel a weird feeling when I think about wyverns and dragons and it makes it hard for me to function.

When I think about dragons in flight (whether riding a dragon or being a dragon), I feel a really strange feeling in my body. It's a combination of ecstasy and a tingling and crushing sensation. If the ecstasy gets too intense, I start rubbing my fists against my face. I should add that I'm autistic and have exhibited this behavior since childhood. Every time I watch a movie about dragons, I feel this strange feeling in my body.

Some people in the world have various spiritual beliefs, such as therians, who believe that mentally or spiritually they are not human, but something else, like dogs or cats.

But I don't believe in that. To me, therians and otherkin are pure nonsense, and I don't believe I'm actually a dragon. I'm 23 years old, but because of my autism, I often act like a teenager, and it's very difficult for me to grow up.

  • Could you be experiencing autistic joy? It's often hard to contain and you have to do a physical stim to let the energy out. I have varying degrees of it, from wiggling fingers, flapping hands, to needing a full body shake to calm down again. 

    Dragons and wyverns are a very cool thing to get excited about, I've always been into dragons and used to draw them a lot. My daughter loves dragons too, I got her a game called Wyrmspan, (it's a version of Wingspan but with dragons and their ilk), it has lots of cool cards with illustrations. She doesn't play the actual game, she just lays out all the cards and we put them into sets. Dragons are cool!
