I quite honestly have no factual idea on what to write here
Hello
HIGH-FUNCTIONING AUTISM
That said, here are 6 commonly observed signs in people who are autistic but have average or above-average intelligence and relatively independent daily functioning:
Social communication differences
They may struggle with reading social cues (tone, facial expressions, body language) or knowing when to speak in conversations. Small talk can feel confusing or unnatural.
Preference for routines and predictability
A strong need for structure—changes in plans or unexpected events can cause stress or discomfort.
Deep, focused interests
They often develop intense interest in specific topics (e.g., trains, coding, history), sometimes becoming very knowledgeable in that area.
Sensory sensitivities
Heightened or reduced sensitivity to things like noise, lights, textures, or smells. For example, loud environments may feel overwhelming.
Literal thinking style
They may interpret language very literally and have difficulty with sarcasm, metaphors, or implied meanings.
Differences in nonverbal communication
Eye contact, facial expressions, or gestures might be less typical (e.g., avoiding eye contact or using fewer gestures while speaking).
Why I think souls-like players are on the spectrum
Generally this does not need a cohesive explanation, but I’ll do it nontheless.
They hyperfocus on a specific genre
- They focus their personality on the genre.
- They base their daily interactions to the game functions.
- They do not really use words all that much, but they do gesture a lot.
This is hitting too close to home
- I think
- I may be
- On the spectrum
