@Bug Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. They also might be wondering about my eye-contact and tendency to take things too literally LOL. People think I'm gay because of my 'voice' or whatever. They aren't wrong, but it's still weird to me that people assume one way because of how you look or act. |

I think habits can reveal a lot about someone in terms of autism. My brother has autism and also a close family friends. For example one cannot form habits and one cannot change any habits he's had set since like the 60s |

Sunny I've had people call me weird and tell me to stop blinking so much... when I tell them it's an anxiety tic and pointing it out makes it worse I get told that anxiety tics aren't real and that either I have the touretts (I can't spell it) or that I made it up :< |

i think speech patterns are the biggest teller i think. sometimes its just a vibe though, like syncing frequencies or something haha. im autistic and have an assistance dog, so sometimes i just straight up get random (usually older men) coming up to me asking what did it for me, and that it was the measles jab that gave them their tism LOL |

And the incapability about shutting up about things I'm interested in. |

I definitely van't control my face. Do they do the one thing where they close one eye and move their lip the one way. I do that. I think its just the mannerisms. |

Jun I've heard people relate it to "gaydar" as well, but I think the autism one might have more basis in facial features while gaydar focuses more on how someone dresses. Both deal with mannerisms, of course. |

My friends don't think I have autism, they just think I have ADHD, even though I was diagnosed with both. My tics are also apparent and I've had people yell at me to shut up. |

Apo yeah, I usually have somewhat of an idea (I'm not diagnosed with anything but family is), but I can't say exactly what tips me off other than mannerisms. I don't know what facial features people are seeing other than what a old friend told me |

Apothecary- You typed what I struggled with. Exactly that, as someone with ADHD and autism. :,) |

As an autistic person I can definitely tell when somebody has a touch of this tism or the adhd. |

Jun fun fact! some people claim that autistic people have certain facial features, particularly the mouth and eyes, that are signs of their neurodivergence. Whether this is true, I don't know |

Do defects like extra toes, high metabolism, or other non-pelt defects do anything? |

How could she tell? It always stumps me whenever people say "you seem/talk/look/act autistic" |
