Serial Experiments Lain (1998) Episode 2
what are some autistic traits that not many people talk about? or generally that are lesser known traits?
This one is difficult, only because autism is so different for everyone. But, things I've come across that are common that are not the typical "difficulties with social interaction":
Lack of facial expressions or inappropriate facial expressions to the mood
Talking too loudly or too softly
Gastrointestinal issues
Difficulties with walking, like not swinging arms, or odd postures
Almost falling over constantly, or bad balance
Walking into door frames or walls or furniture or people
Lack of fear at a young age or being overly cautious at a young age (well before the usual developmental milestones)
Lack of self-understanding, such as when we're thirsty, hungry, need to use the toilet etc
Sitting in awkward positions
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (higher rates of this co-occuring with autism)
Emotional attachment to inanimate objects
Being LGBTQ+ (higher rates in the autistic community, percentage wise.)
Eating disorders
Quick anger over "unimportant" things, with a sudden and quick cool down
Either a lack of an internal world (aphantasia) or an over active imagination that can dominate their real world
Maladaptive daydreaming (related to the above)
And that's just from the top of my head. There are heaps more, and there are so many that aren't the "can't understand conversation" traits.
