I tend to play with my action figures mainly for taking pics of their poses in real life situations and posting them online for fun. I sometimes tend to reflect myself onto some of the figures I pose and take pics at. I stumbled down a rabbit hole on how feeling attachment towards inanimate objects is a sign of autism. Should I get clinically tested?
>>34393399> play with my action figures mainly for taking pics of their poses in real life situations and posting them online for fun.That sounds great.I don't know, to be honest, the way you write it sounds like something an autistic person would do. But what you write doesn't tell the whole story.Passion for something isn't so easy.
>>34393399Read the DSM-5 entry (search engine query: "dsm5 filetype:pdf"). If you think you fit at least a few of the criteria, then continue. Next, consider some (inevitably mediocre) online tests like the following: https://embrace-autism.com/raads-r/#test. If your result seems somewhat notable, then continue. Then, if you still think there's a chance you really are on the spectrum, then find a local psychologist who is willing to test adults. Such a search would look like: "[local city/town] asd psychological evaluation adults"And fwiw, nothing you said seems *too* weird, imo. There are normal people out there with unique interests and hobbies that they aren't vocal about.t. diagnosed
>>34393399there is no advantage that will come to you by being a certified autist. It will only harm you. Unless you actually want institutional accommodations like some kind of helpless black woman
>>34393399You're not autistic as a diagnosis. You're just autistic as in, a modern word for nerd.
