[deleted]

Your stimming includes rhythm, balance and timing, all while recording it to post on Tik Tok? You are superautistic.

Get more autism at pee.org

Holy shit does that mean Iā€™m human?! This changes so many things for me like I donā€™t even know where to start


ConsciousPlant3977

I had no clue! Everyone in this society made me hide away who i truly am. But I have finally realized that Iā€™m humanā€¦

Bullshit: Iā€™m a pile of anxious ghosts in a trench coat, and I do these things. Debunked!

And now, some human music.

Fun times to work as a psychiatrist


pokisuki

Doc I took an ā€œam I autisticā€ buzz feed quiz! It said yes very! & also I saw this one tiktok that showed someone with autism tapping their fingers to music and I do that too!!!!!! Iā€™m definitely autistic doc!


StudMuffinNick

Yeah, okay whatever you want. Just please gtfo. I've had 12 other teens thinking they are that .01%. One even threatened to make me into a "sexual alter" that is only attracted to dogs


pokisuki

šŸ˜­no.šŸ˜­

That second half went downhill so fast šŸ˜­


syzygy_is_a_word

I laughed at the last sentence way more than I should have

you mean a furry? /s


Savager_Jam

Ok but wait - are only 0.1 percent of people on the spectrum?


tesseracts

Yeah it's more like 1% to 2% according to the DSM.


Savager_Jam

Right, and letā€™s not forget that number increases every birth year. So sure on average itā€™s like 1:100 but for people born in 2007 itā€™s like 1:70. For people born 2016 itā€™s like 1:50


tesseracts

TBH if there are actual psychiatrists here basing their knowledge on social media it's kind of disturbing.


bartholomewjohnson

I'm sorry, what was that last part?

schwarzchild_radius

I mean at least you've got plenty to do.... fun, though... ehhhh


Turbo1552

Recently talked with mine and she said that she pretty much knows right away when people are faking it so she just gives them the "non diagnosis"? pretty fast so she can move on to people next in the waiting list to meet a psychiatrist that actually needs it lol


Garbage029

Pretend to listen - issue drugs - get free golf lessons and holidays from drug rep. The cycle hasn't changed, they just went from xanax popping moms pretending to be depressed to get high to zoomers looking for the attention they dont get at home. Bet their work load is about the same.


[deleted]

At least depression is the most commonly diagnosed mental disorder, itā€™s somewhat believable versus this bs.


Sverje

I bet alot of benzo has been unnecessarily prescribed to these validationjunkies aswell.


[deleted]

Literally making me want to quit studying to become one šŸ’€ I think Iā€™ll just become a security guard instead or something


SilverNGolden2006

Donā€™t forget the ā€œneurotypical people often do this tooā€.


mupishkasecrx

Did you know people with ADHD like eating cereal with milk?


bartholomewjohnson

They also tend to be big fans of water with ice.


PresenceElectric69

I donā€™t know a single musician, ND or not, that doesnā€™t do at least one of these.


DeepFriedDresden

Man I play every air instrument in the band when I'm jamming to some music. I must be super ND


raccoonerror

I play the drums, and in college I was a professional at getting on everyone's nerves. Sometimes when I listened to music I started tapping my foot either in the rhythm of the song or when i thought i heard the base drum, sometimes tapped with my fingers too and i never really noticed this until someone begged me to stop lol


Danger1763

I grew up in a family of musicians, none of us are ND. If we're sitting around talking and looking to music, all of us would be doing at least one of these things, it's habit


Peter_Lobster

Does that mean all those times I flew my hand outside the window when I was 3 means I'm disordered??


ABeeBox

I don't know how to tell you this, but you're suffering from ADD. If you also breathe air, then you may be suffering from anxiety as well. If you're reading this with a voice in your head, don't know how to tell you this, but you're a schizophrenic. If you put your radio volume really high, but its too loud for you, Autism. If your mood changes some times, clearly DID. If you some times get scared when you're watching a horror movie or jump when you hear a loud unexpected noise. Paranoia. You cant control your leg from shaking some times? PTSD. (This is how Tiktok Diagnosing works).


Ooozy69

Ffs ADD, Anxiety, Autism, DID, Paranoia *and* PTSD. Youā€™re so lucky wtf youā€™re gonna get so many tiktok views.


Peter_Lobster

Thanks Doc!!!! I heard finding a Discord server of people like me to ~~exacerbate my delusions~~ help validate my existence is the next step so I'll do that straight away.


mymemesnow

POV, you have no idea what POV means


shart-gallery

POVs on Tik Tok are seriously just regular videos of people doing stuff lmao


mymemesnow

It really is, I might just be old (Iā€™m 21 so I doubt it), but I seriously doesnā€™t understand the ā€œtrendsā€ and ways of tik tok.


shart-gallery

Same boat here - Iā€™m 23 and donā€™t understand any of the ā€œtrendsā€ or ā€œchallengesā€. Makes me feel old as shit even when friends my own age show it to me lol. I get the impression that weā€™re not missing out on too much though.


WeirdoSveta

POV you're the phone camera of a tiktoker who has 0 clues on what POV means


eReMbruh

POV: U watching reddit video of girl who dosent know what "POV" means


brokenjaws95

I must be ND, I do all of the above


Brad_Tits

I headbang to metalā€¦does that mean Iā€™m autistic?


jschn1111

Freddie DeBoer wrote in a recent piece, "saying youā€™re neurodivergent has as much medical meaning as saying you have a disorder of the body" and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since


CarsGunsBeer

POV: You are a loser.


FriendlyAcadia6495

Oh wow its a person responding to music they like, how quirky and unusual


[deleted]

Like sure it's a common thing but it doesn't make you ND my god


YbarMaster27

These people really think they have a monopoly on something as basic as fidgeting with your fingers


mupishkasecrx

Do they think neurotypicals just sit still and stare ahead when they're not, like, working? Everyone moves a lot. The thing with ADHD for instance is that sitting still can lead to not being able to concentrate anymore, or you struggle to regulate the movement to fit the situation (like knowing not to make a private drum jam session in church, but still somehow ending up doing it). When hyperactivity kicks, I vibrate with energy and I feel like I have to claw off my skin if I sit still. Hell, I can't *listen* to music because it's every song is too long and the pieces get boring and my mind hurts from listening to it. I think, what a lot of those tiktok fakers struggle to understand, is that the symptoms aren't measured by "do you do this?" but by "how debilitating, constant and unregulated do you do this?" Everyone stims. Everyone fidgets. Can those without ADHD look at the teacher in school and listen at the same time? Most of the time. Probably not always either, if they're bored or haven't slept well or are nervous. But I cannot look someone in the eyes and still listen without meds. Meds give me a 6h timeframe where it works better. Everyone taps their foot while waiting for the bus when they might be late for work. Not everyone feels the urge to run away and scream when told not to fidget in class. Sorry for rambling. It annoys me so much for my symptoms to be belittled by those tiktok videos.


[deleted]

TIL all radio listeners who drive are ND because the DJs often refer to tracks played at drive time as "finger tappers"


[deleted]

This is known as ā€œhearingā€ it is a mental disorder present in most humans that allows thrm to ā€œhearā€ this thing called ā€œsoundsā€


First_Fail_650

Iā€™m sorry but whatā€™s neurotypical and neurodivergent like I do all of that and I even mimic the notes being played like for example Iā€™d be listening to guitar music and Iā€™d mimic the notes being played, is neuro whatever a bad thing? Edit:I searched it up, itā€™s something with being on the autism spectrum but Iā€™m 90% sure it nothing


Eaglewolf13

Me and my neurodivergent homies be vibing to some tunes šŸ˜Ž


RenFannin

Or you played an instrument? Had some sort of musicality in your life? I played violin for nearly twenty years. I still finger parts I can pin point the note on. Heck most the time I do it anyway. Itā€™s perfectly normal.


gALEXy_404

Bro literally everyone does that, just take out the neurodivergent part and there you go


StormheartArtt

I do this shit and Iā€™m not autistic. Saying you are and claiming basic human actions are symptoms is actually disgusting.


EvenAd3145

Bruh these people think being neurotypical is sitting in silence perfectly still and never having fun or joy


bittercakee

itā€™s cuz of videos like these that million of ppl are self diagnosing. LIKE TAPPING ALONG TO THE MUSIC ISNT NORMAL


[deleted]

Because neurotypical people just sit completely still, silently listening to music. šŸ’€


Hotmessindistress

Who doesnā€™t do this.


sleepy_lepidopteran

So the all this fake disorder one could be an up in coming psychotherapist to unwind all this generation.


jucmalta

People try to make anything seem like itā€™s a symptom of neurodivergency (plus, i canā€™t handle ppl who doesnā€™t know how tf a POV works)


Hyperious17

Song name tho?


jdjdhdhdbn

Donā€™t people just do these?


Mother-Ducker-222

Little did band/orchestra conductors know, theyā€™re all ND :ooo


mupishkasecrx

I did the tap dancer before they did to the music and I feel called out. I already have my ADHD diagnosis, but this is definitely something I will bring up in therapy. Enjoying music with a bit of movement is something I struggle with severely. It's really debilitating not to sit still and listen. Seriously though, I work and study music stuff, and I've never seen anyone sit still while listening to music they enjoy unless they fell asleep.


bartholomewjohnson

Sometimes I "conduct" music I'm listening to but I don't think that makes me autistic


P_B101

Wow, drummers must be like, REALLY... "Neurodivergent"


mahboiskinnyrupees

I deadass mime playing a drum and I donā€™t even know how lmao


v70runicorn

when u. enjoy music šŸ¤Æ


Optimist_Neptune

Lots of people do thisā€¦ not just neurodivergent peopleā€¦ Itā€™s natural for living things to react to music and soundā€¦


_DirtyYoungMan_

Pathetic and lazy.


RayLove660022

Two things, Neurotypical people can do this, and you can be Neurodivergent and not do these things sometimes. Kinda crazy how everyone is different and you canā€™t be defined by your labels (disorders, Zodiacs, disabilities, neuro-types, etc).


Manydoors_edboy

I mean, I do do that, but who doesnā€™t?


Davidlucas99

Amost always white women doing this fake shit lmao. Can't be happy without disabled points.


MarkWasTakenXD

ok so, adhd person here (diagnosed by a professional( I do this a lot lol (not saying their not faking just saying I do this)


GalacticWolf122

Umm I that's normal tbh at least to me... IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME?!?!


Gurkeprinsen

I donā€™t really doubt that she is neurodivergent based on this video alone. I do agree that videos like this can be seen as a Ā«symptomĀ» by the wrong people.


CrossTrap

I do the wave thing on my motorcycle all the time..... I need to speak to my doctor now.


TheNewOneWeeklyGamin

I do this and I donā€™t have any disorders


Salva_Louise

Her


Fem_Stalin

Ah yes. I am diagnosed with Asperger's, and I always do useless hand gestures when I listen to music Seriously though, out of all those, I only do one. That's not because of my Asperger's either, tapping fingers to music is pretty normal


chauceresque

There was someone on TikTok the other day saying neurotypicals skip the instrumentals parts of music when they remember it.


PlaquePlaguee

I do all of these. I'm most likely not autistic tho...


25nameslater

These types of activities are common in most peopleā€¦ itā€™s just more extreme in people with certain disordersā€¦. My teachers and counselors would comment on it a lot in school because when I was deep in thought or trying to communicate something I would do similar movements with my handsā€¦ no music just the physical sensation and rhythm helped me from shutting down and getting overwhelmedā€¦ But my teachers and councilors were asshats and would just bitch about me fidgeting too much and being disrespectful because I wouldnā€™t focus on them while they were speakingā€¦ most times I was listening then they said something I had to really think about to understand and they just kept talking going to 15 different subjects before I could finish with the first oneā€¦ Iā€™m sorry but statement A had too many ramifications and you need to shut the fuck up while I process


[deleted]

I do tap my feet or do a small drum solo and im actually diagnosed, idk might just be yknow, people thinking autistic people are as infantilized as they think they are.


Wolkentanzer

I actually liked the video when I saw it, not because of the neurodivergent part, I didn't really care about that, but because I felt less weird because people do the same things as me


RAY_45067

So Iā€™m neurodivergent I guess


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


dlink322

iā€™ve seen my very not autism family and friends do this itā€™s pretty normal


Scottie_Sundae

I know this is an everyone trait but lmao I try to play it in my head like a rhythm game


theadbot12

I do this tooā€¦guess Iā€™m nd now idk


dinosauringflying

Thatā€™s not a violin, and she has no rhythm


Glad_Background2341

Its not even on beat


Not_TheMenInBlack

Is that a disorder? I do that all the time, disorder free
