I read that autism comes with repetitive behavior and restricted interests, so what do you think?

What exactly limits your behavior like my own?

OP, this is like the fifth time I've seen you do this: you need to stop putting "like me" in your questions.

Nobody knows you. Nobody knows what you're like.

Just ask your question, don't put a personal spin on it. Or if you do want a personal spin, explain what you're like first, then ask if anyone else does the same thing.

Explaining your question in the post would be a good idea.

Kryptonite.

... Or maybe a mix of anxiety and depression. One of the two.

I find a behaviour limiter works.

Where can I buy one of these

[-] SleepingTower@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

At your local essential oils peddler.

Oh nice, they cured my autism with lemongrass last year which is pretty cool

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're asking, so I'd like to try flipping the question around - what would you say limits your own behaviour? I think hearing your answer would help me to both understand the question and to highlight potential differences in what limits us.

I dislike being noticed. Getting attention especially from people I do not know is extremely uncomfortable for me. (Online is significantly less problematic compared to physically)

This limits what I do in a general sense

Physics, neurochemistry, society, imagination?

Too vague. I don't know what you're really asking for. Please clarify.

What limits your behavior as an autistic?

[-] Steve@communick.news 2 points 6 months ago

All the things I said and much more. Roughly speaking, all the things that limit everyone's behavior.

Anxiety, resting need, self esteem issues, trauma, headaches, need to keep my hands clean (and not touching anything clean if hands are dirty)
