1 year agoAutism spectrum can be a weird thing. But don’t worry, you’re not doing anything wrong.
I was thinking about it yesterday and I think part of it is that the binge process misses a few key things that otherwise wouldn’t if you don’t rush through. Like how people binge through stuff on Netflix because they’re so excited for their favorite show that they marathon it, but don’t absorb what they just watched because they did it so fast.
The problem is I can’t stop myself from taking it all in like that. I just love my interests so much and life is hard enough without them.
