These autistic public figures have opened up about how their diagnoses affected their lives.
I explained to my father about the movies we grew up on: I especially told him about the films I didn't like and he understood.
We haven't really been watching most kids movies anymore, and Dad has moved on his own movies and shows as well.
This is Injustice 2: Hellboy was just a guest fighter in that game.
Thank you. More like I am explaining the impact I have on others because I happen to be very opinionated in what I like and don’t like.
I grew up on movies and shows like anyone else (even in treatment) but it was always a painful experience because I don’t like actors yelling or making faces and chewing the scenery, not to mention the other reasons I despise movies and shows which does tie with how opinionated I am with most of them.
If I even see one clip of a movie I loathe, all bets are off, but thankfully my parents understand what I do and don’t like and I can politely explain why I don’t like that one clip.
Some movies and shows in particular (like Pixar) are universally loved yet they hurt when I watch them because they ‘make you cry’ as they say because they pander to your emotions so much when all I would rather do is if not watch an actual movie, then read a book or a comic because I handle that better.
I figured as a genuine autistic person I could explain myself here and be understood.
Plus, I decided to volunteer as a moderator and upload more content for this instance.
Hoopla lets you read from your local library if they support it. I use it to read all my comics.
Marvel and DC have comics there too, but I currently prefer indie comics like Hellboy.
Anybody read comic books?
This is a series I enjoy reading (Hellboy by Mike Mignola) although I read more Marvel and DC before I got tired of both and switched to indie comics like Dark Horse:
I like reading Mike Mignola because his stories are written so well in my opinion and his art style and collaborations with other artists and writers are really nice, probably because I switched from the Big Two (Marvel and DC) to indie comics from Dark Horse and maybe other companies too (Image Comics?).
I had read Spawn by Todd Macfarlane, but put it down because the drama was too much for me and I lost interest in reading it so much.
I personally think Dark Horse is a good publishing company too in my opinion: they publish all kinds of media around the clock.
What are your favorite comics you like to read?
I’m an autistic who doesn’t like anime.
The last few shows I saw I consider an old shame because I disagree with the values although not all of them are bad, I think.
I did grow up on anime and manga too but I still didn’t agree with both medium’s values.
I’d rather read comic books and watch cartoons although I blew most of what I watched and read out of proportion because I disagreed with the values portrayed in both.
Most anime I saw were stumbling blocks for me because of the acting and writing, not to mention the old shames that I moved on from.
Movies are usually a subject I struggle with because it hurts just watching them all.
Is that normal for an autistic man like me?
Feel free to check out my other post too.
How do you handle watching movies and shows?
I genuinely open up about this matter.
All my life, movies have usually beaten my senses whenever I watch them somehow.
Anyone could yell and it would affect me but not anyone else whether they have autism or not.
Wherever I went, a movie or show would be playing and people would make me deal with it by refusing to turn it off over other people.
Never mind the things I disagree on with each movie or show…all of them genuinely affect my senses and they always did even right now.
I am autistic myself…does anyone else with autism know how to handle this situation?
