For context I have audhd. I’ve always been confused about the association between stacking toys and autism. I don’t particularly remember stacking toys as a kid other than of course I did because I was a kid. Don’t lots of kids try to stack stuff as high as possible occasionally? Why is this seen as an autistic trait? Is it a stereotype due to the historical bias towards autistic boys with a particular presentation or something else? If it really is associated with autism and not a bias, why do autistic kids do it more?
Wow I might have to save your comment because I’ve been trying to explain why I think the way I do and why things annoy me my entire life without having the vocabulary for it and you just summed it up so well. Thank you!
Happy to help!
I’m… getting to be closer to 40, than 30.
I’ve just been doing this ‘being alive while autistic’ thing for a fair amount of time now.
Yeah I’m def on the 40 side of my 30s too. Crazy how time gets away from you.
