Star Wars!

When my son joined Cub Scouts, we went to our first big Cub event, some big potluck dinner, and I sat next to a kid with a Star Wars t-shirt. I love Star Wars, saw the first movie in the theater, and have been a fan my whole life, so I asked, “You a Star Wars fan?” And he started talking, and so did I.

We were having a nice conversation about Star Wars, when his mother came up and said “Are you talking about Star Wars again? What did we say about that? You can’t just start talking to random strangers about Star Wars!”

I responded, “No, you don’t understand, I asked him about it. I love Star Wars, too,” and the kid looked really happy that I’d defended him.

His mom said, “You don’t understand, he has Asbergers, he’ll NEVER stop talking about it,” which didn’t sound so bad to me, I had lots to talk about with this kid, he was a big fan, and knew his stuff.

We parted, but I’ve wondered ever since if I have Asperger’s about Star Wars, too. Probably Music, too.

(Mostly just us) Fursuit/furry stuffs, a billion plushies, bicycles, city architecture, trams, hiding when guests are over, Star Wars, one piece, the *perfect note book * (it’s one we made from a spare book cardboard, sewed in our own pages and it in many many stickers,) Books, old English, ASL/writing what to say when non verbal and safe foods

Why do autistic people love pie charts with red circles?

I relate to others, but isn’t the Rubix cube quite common in STEM people? Dunno what that has to do with autism

Fursuiting ware

haterner miku!!!

*edit, since OP is adding things in I removed the white background. Also for OP, you can use https://www.remove.bg/upload for that, you don’t get the full quality image but for this use case it’s good enough

No dinosaurs‽‽ XD

Thinkpads are objectively good laptops tho. At least T series.

Especially for linux.

I’m not autistic but I like most of these things.

Not me learning how to solve a rubix cube last week and buying 3 more cubes recently

No Sonic mention? Shame

I see a flag. I like flags. Especially the Japanese flags. I don’t specifically care for Japan, but the flag is one of my favourites. I prefer flags with low entropy: so I wrote a script once that ranks the nations flags by entropy so I could quantify my preference. Thanks for letting me infodump a bit.

Edit: Due to people aski g for it: here is the top ten of my ranking:

Here’s how I defined the entropy value for each flag:

def color_weighted_spectral_entropy(image):
    b_channel, g_channel, r_channel = cv2.split(image)
    
    # Calculate spectral entropy for each channel
    def channel_spectral_entropy(channel):
        f_transform = np.fft.fft2(channel)
        f_shifted = np.fft.fftshift(f_transform)
        magnitude_spectrum = np.abs(f_shifted)
        if np.sum(magnitude_spectrum) > 0:
            normalized = magnitude_spectrum / np.sum(magnitude_spectrum)
        else:
            normalized = magnitude_spectrum
        # Entropy calculation with color channel weighting
        epsilon = 1e-10
        entropy = -np.sum(normalized * np.log2(normalized + epsilon))
        
        return entropy
    
    weighted_entropy = (
        0.333 * channel_spectral_entropy(b_channel) +
        0.333 * channel_spectral_entropy(g_channel) +
        0.333 * channel_spectral_entropy(r_channel)
    )
    
    return float(weighted_entropy)

“White_field” is just an array that holds zeroes. I use this as a sanity check. Code is on github. I can send DM to whomever is interested. I guess it can also be searched for.

i see linux,minecraft,japan(i just like the games that originate from this country mostly),thinkpad,C,Rust
wait…
I think I’m autistic.

You forgot pride flags, blahaj, astronomy, and psychedelics. I would also say far-left politics, but there’s plenty of right-wing autists out there too.

Is this how I find out I’m autistic??
