stole a pig and away...

This reminds me a few years ago I met a woman and when talking to her she would meow occasionally. She would click her fingers and turn her head to the side and meow.

I didn't understand why it was happening as it was a totally new thing that nobody had ever done before so I ignored it and continued responding to whatever she had said before the meowing.

Some weeks later she told me she liked me because I didn't make fun of her meowing. She said she had Tourette's syndrome but that I was one of the only people not to react to it and make it a big deal. Rare autism win perhaps... I'm not sure. From my perspective I hadn't understood why she was meowing so I didn't know what to do.

I feel like there was a 50/50 chance that I just demanded "why are you meowing" but it landed on tails so I chose to continue as normal because there was a possibility I was missing some social cue.

Did it hurt?

Nope.

Unfortunately it happened on a Friday night which is a particularly busy night for this city A&E - lots of drunk, drugged, daft people and a quite nasty atmosphere.

Not a place I'd normally choose to spend any time.

Did it hurt?

yeah that one is more concerning than useful lol

Yes.

I went to the local hospital accident and emergency and they confirmed that is what was happening - and that it's an extremely rare thing to happen.

I have also had a nose bleed out of my eyes.

Uhh...yeah that one is more concerning than useful lol

Omg that is a superpower

It is indeed.

I can close my nose inside too so if something is smelly and I have both hands full I don't have to smell it.

I have also had a nose bleed out of my eyes.

I'm a certified freak.

Aw thanks

If you do start a YT channel, let me know and ill subscribe

Whatever you want to. You're a very eccentric and interesting person so I'm sure it would be awesome.

I've done videos for myself as a hobby. But I am thinking about doing it for Youtube at some point. I want to do autism vlogs and just about anything generally.

Not only do they not do mental arithmetic, they probably wouldn't even know where to start!

Omg that is a superpower

That would have been my answer,  1912 - Titanic

I've said this one before. 

And if I get 1997 I get momentarily excited and go that's the year I was born lol. Always get looks of sheer confusion.

and that way you'll be alive for Frozen 4 as well!

Yes very good point 

Hm.. I could make YouTube videos. I dont even know how to start or what to make it about though

Don’t normal people do mental arithmetic?

I suspect that in this digital age the answer to that is 'no'.

I do what I call ‘ape’ a lot, one arm will go over the top of my head, it’s like hugging my head. Pacing is something I seem to do when I need to process something, it can be in straight lines but often in a circle.

When I cook a meal I layout all the ingredients in order of use, all jars of spices are in order of use and spaced correctly with labels facing forward, nothing touches, the knives and saucepans are all in position. I just call it prepping, my wife thinks I take it to a different level.

I tried one of the delivery companies that delivers the ingredients for meals, the instructions drove me crazy, the instructions would give a task to do, the next word would always be… meanwhile, I don’t do meanwhile I’m fully focused on the institution I’ve been given.

I work on classic cars for a living, it’s like I’m constantly scanning a car, I can tell if something is minutely incorrect. As the saying goes, “The devil is in the detail.”

Me = 1066 - the Battle of Hastings

That would have been my answer,  1912 - Titanic , 1953 - Coronation,  1812 - overture. 
If I’m in a playful mood I like to wait until a shop assistant has given me the total price on the till, I hand over the cash and then say, “ actually I’ve got the odd,” the amount of time I’ve been told, “it’s okay, the till has shown me the correct change.” Don’t normal people do mental arithmetic?

Rather than getting a deathly disease you could do Youtube videos I saw a video a while ago about actors and singers who were noticed by famous people and made famous because they were seen in a video.You never know, it could happen, and that way you'll be alive for Frozen 4 as well! And don't worry, we're all a little crazy.  

I'm sorry you grew up in a toxic environment, I know exactly how that feels and the negative impact it casts over your life. I hope things are better for you now as well. I think that's incredible how Frozen saved your life and also how impressive and clever your mind is to be able to do it. The autistic mind really is incredible and a good imagination is often mentioned about it. If you want to do voice acting it's something you can consider at a later time when you're a bit older if you want to, look at the people who voiced the Frozen cast they were all adults when the movie was done. Never give up on your dreams, there is and always will be, hope.

Frozen 3 here you come!

OH I WOULD DIE OF JOY IF I WERE IN FROZEN 3!! I actually for months was asking my mom how I could get a deathly disease. If I was dying and asked disney to be in Frozen 3 theyd be more likely to say yes than if I was just some random teen who is obsessed with Frozen. I wouldnt even care if I died after that, I JUST WANT TO BE IN FROZEN AHHHHHH. Heh, I swear im not crazy (maybe a little crazy)

I wanted to be an actress and animator but whenever ive tried auditioning for something my anxiety is so awful, so bad that the casting people can tell (im talking voice shaking, not making eye contact, sweating, face red, almost in tears) so yeahh I gave up on that dream. 
I think making movie is sort of like being a hero honestly though. When I was younger my family was completly toxic and abusive, so I never felt like I could talk to them about stuff (even small meaningless things) but when I tried telling other people about my family issues, they would just say I was making it up for attention because my family had to act "perfect" in public and they never knew. Anyway um I basically would cry every night but after Frozen 2, I had someone to talk to. I would mentally travel to Arendelle and talk to Anna. She would comfort me and give me advice and she actually helped my mental health a ton (I get very defensive if someone talks bad of her), I would imagine different senarios too and she would help me and hug me and stuff like that. So Frozen might have been made to make money and to entertain, but that movie pretty much saved my life, which is why I think people who make movies are heros because they tell stories that might just save someone even if they dont realise. I wanted to make a story that could be a hero to someone else because I always wanted to be a hero after my family for so long called me a monster.
Wow I just realised what this thread is about... I got off topic

Allyboo. You've reminded me of my late mother, she was constantly worried about what the neighbours said and thought... and always telling me. It was really VERY important to her.

Wowzah that is so cool you could star in a Disney movie! Frozen 3 here you come! Being able to do voices is such a beautiful talent I think.

I also like to do characters. I can do Mickey Mouse decently well, and I can get my singing voice to sound pretty simular to Kristen Bell and Mandy Moore (others too but they are probably the ones I sound closest to). Im not very good other than that tho. I mostly just do my own silly characters. I can do a grandma, a veryyy old grandma, different accents, and then just nonsence weird voices. I used to be able to sing as Donald Duck and Yoda when I was 9ish but I cant do it anymore sadly
