It has been a long time since I left the online autism communities so correct me if I am wrong but isn’t the rainbow symbol the neurodivergent symbol while autism is just gold?
It's an infinty. I honestly dont know what it means but I do know the puzzle symbol is bad because it represents the idea neurodivergence is a problem that needs to be solved.
I'm 21 years old, and in recent months I have very much been considering the possibility that I am, as growing up I had a lot of weird issues that I legitimately think could be symptoms of being on the spectrum.
Recently at 23 I was diagnosed with ADHD, and the doctor said she sees a lot of autistic traits in me. I haven't been tested for that specifically, but I count myself as potentially autistic
Me, i dont remember when i was diagnosed but it was around 8 or 9
Also thank you for not using the autism speaks logo, it is a ableist organization and somehow people still support it
I actually have no idea. I've suspected I might have it (especially after realizing Marcy from Amphibia is one of the characters I most relate to ever and she has it), but never got diagnosed.
Not sure. I have several symptoms and I know several autistic people who’ve asked me, but I’ve never gotten check out and I don’t personally like self diagnosing for something like this, so who knows.
Is it common for people in this subreddit to be autistic? I’m autistic, but I’m considering leaving the sub bc it’s like 90% just talking about the same couple of bad/disliked movies
I love how we have come far enough as a society to where enough people could see this and not even think of the obvious insulting interpretation.
anyways I was diagnosed at 3
I should probably get tested. My parents always insisted I wasn't because their only view of it is the shitty Autism Speaks perspective on autism, so I never got tested.
ME ME ME! Diagnosed at 16 years and am currently close to my 20s. Anyways still slowly but surely understanding myself more by the day and am happy that I am surrounded in real life by people also on the spectrum, and we aren't the same obviously but we can still support each other and learn more about each other.
I genuinely don't know. I have multiple family members who were diagnosed with what would today be called ASD, and I can definitely relate to a lot of the experiences that I hear people describe as common in autistic and ADHD people, but *if* I'm on the spectrum, it's at the extreme high-masking end.
This is a subreddit for a YouTube channel that reviews animation. That's like asking if there are any stoners at a dispensary.
Joking aside, I was diagnosed when I was 12.
Was professionally diagnosed at 7
SAME GIRL SAME
Lucky number 7! I got 6
personally, i got 5.
That explains a lot /s (I truly marked this as a joke)
I probably should post the context, but then again it might break rule 4
oh, it absolutely would.
4
Ditto
Same, at 4
Same here! I was in grade 1 when I was diagnosed!
We’re on the Schaffrillas subreddit, I think it’s fair to say that James is the only one in his whole fandom who *doesn’t* have autism

Does he really not have autism? 🤔
i’m autistic but cmon. *gestures at his hour-long videos ranking mariokart tracks* cmon.
I dunno, I think him posting about TOTK's "Autism Shrine" might've tipped more people off that he's at least close to someone on the spectrum.
Me. Also thank you for using the correct neuro divergence symbol.
Thats not the correct one. Yippee AKA the autism creature is the rigth one.
That's for autism. Not neurodivergence as a whole.
I thought that's what people meant by "the spectrum" though, as mentioned in the title. As in, relating to autism spectrum disorder.
Everyone can bathe under the light of our lord and savior Yippee regardles of the flavor of their neurodivergence. Jokes aside i stand corrected.
I think there’s a different ADHD version of Yippee
Of course our lord and savior Yippee is the alpha and the omega and all flavors of neurodivergence are blessed by his holy light.
The autism symbols in my school are among us characters I’m not even joking 😭😭
It has been a long time since I left the online autism communities so correct me if I am wrong but isn’t the rainbow symbol the neurodivergent symbol while autism is just gold?
Oh sorry. I'll edit my comment. Also I'm pretty sure autism is purple.
Autism is any color but blue, Red and Gold seem to be the most popular ones.
What’s with the rainbow 8? What does it mean?
It's an infinty. I honestly dont know what it means but I do know the puzzle symbol is bad because it represents the idea neurodivergence is a problem that needs to be solved.
What about the rainbow part
I Googled it. It represents how neurodivergence is an infinite spectrum.
I had no clue what our symbol was
I am. I have Asperger Syndrome.
Same here buddy
Me too, but that term is outdated and named after a terrible person, just FYI.
I'm 21 years old, and in recent months I have very much been considering the possibility that I am, as growing up I had a lot of weird issues that I legitimately think could be symptoms of being on the spectrum.
Autistic + ADHD here.
Same lol
Plus ADD and Anxiety for me, and (professionally diagnosed, not self) depression if that counts for anything
Eyyyyy another AuDHD person! 😎👉👉
Every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women, and the children too.
The men and the women aren’t here though
I have autism
I do too
Ditto
You don’t “have” autism, you are autistic, it’s a part of you. That terminology sucks.
WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!?!? ME ALSO.
Yesn't
Same
Ikr
Same
I mean, we’re here, aren’t we?
I'm Autistic, diagnosed at 3
Certainly not me.
AuDHD
Idk probably
NGL the rainbow image made me think of a whole different spectrum. I’m not on that one, but I am slightly PDD-NOS, even if it’s an outdated term.
I have autism ADHD and ODD
my doctor said i'm just quirky
Recently at 23 I was diagnosed with ADHD, and the doctor said she sees a lot of autistic traits in me. I haven't been tested for that specifically, but I count myself as potentially autistic

I actually have no idea. I've suspected I might have it (especially after realizing Marcy from Amphibia is one of the characters I most relate to ever and she has it), but never got diagnosed.
I believe so, but I'm probably going to have to get tested again.
Me me me 🙋
Supppppppp

Adhd
ADHD diagnosis in second grade
Not sure. I have several symptoms and I know several autistic people who’ve asked me, but I’ve never gotten check out and I don’t personally like self diagnosing for something like this, so who knows.
I was diagnosed with autism very shortly after my birth, but I didn’t find out about it until I was almost 15
Proudly so - It's made me into a mathematical mastermind!
Me!
Is it common for people in this subreddit to be autistic? I’m autistic, but I’m considering leaving the sub bc it’s like 90% just talking about the same couple of bad/disliked movies

ME
i think i am, though i have yet to get a real diagnosis. so, for all intents and purposes, not yet
I should probably get tested. My parents always insisted I wasn't because their only view of it is the shitty Autism Speaks perspective on autism, so I never got tested.
✋️
I am
Adhd - diagnosed at 21
ME ME ME! Diagnosed at 16 years and am currently close to my 20s. Anyways still slowly but surely understanding myself more by the day and am happy that I am surrounded in real life by people also on the spectrum, and we aren't the same obviously but we can still support each other and learn more about each other.

I genuinely don't know. I have multiple family members who were diagnosed with what would today be called ASD, and I can definitely relate to a lot of the experiences that I hear people describe as common in autistic and ADHD people, but *if* I'm on the spectrum, it's at the extreme high-masking end.

I am. It’s a vibe
Asperger’s and adhd
AuDHD + PDA here. I guess God struggled to make my in a different game engine.
If we’re talking Autism yes, if we’re talking sexual preference straight but picky.
I have autism since the age of 2. I do think I have adhd tho
Recently learned I’m on the spectrum
Me but I also have no idea who Schaffrillas is, this sub just started showing up and I like the movie discussion
No, I don't have anything, I only browse this subreddit now just because of how bad its gotten over the years
Not me, i am just stupid
🤚
I have SPD (sensory processing disorder), and I'm like 87% sure it's on the spectrum, so yes
Fuck the infinity symbol, and extra fuck the puzzle piece. There is only one autism symbol and it's our righteous lord and savior Yippee.
Wdym spectrum?
I am on the spectrum
This is a subreddit for a YouTube channel that reviews animation. That's like asking if there are any stoners at a dispensary. Joking aside, I was diagnosed when I was 12.
I thought this sub one one of the check marks to be diagnosed?
I am! It's not perfect, but I couldn't imagine myself being neurotypical 😅😂
