My brain has decided that instead of doing math like a normal person, we shall go and make a new strategy for confusing the brain cells out of everyone.

First off, love your username (closeted bi here)
My brain ( rather than making complex strategies like yours) decides to ignore the fact that math makes no sense to me by taking elaborate notes
Thank you, I love yours too! In all honesty, it's a coping mechanism, I have absolutely no clue what's happening half the time.
It won't shut up! It's never..ever quiet...ever. It's either one of my many mental worlds, a song I haven't listened to in years, Micheal Jackson, or some other thing. It's just..never quiet.
Same here lmao, I either have dialogue, songs, school-generated panic, or internal narration (if I'm reading something it's reading aloud in my head against my will) happening 24/7.
I have the ‘tism.
A fellow neurodivergent! I have ADHD, but it feels really nice to see others in the wild.
Forgot to add: I do not believe that autism is a “superpower” as it relates to the trope of what the media thinks autism is, Caucasian males that are socially awkward, amazing at math, savants, and have a special interest in trains.
I'm very good at changing myself. I used to struggle with a lot of insecurity and self-hatred and I just decided to change that and after about a year of telling myself that I'm wonderful and pointing out all of my good qualities, I have the opposite problem (I deserve it tho I am a pretty great person like I have flaws ofc but even with those I'm pretty f*****g awesome). I still have occasional returns to self-loathing but its fairly rare and usually only happens when triggered by someone outside me. I'm so self absorbed that I'm pretty much insufferable but then again anyone would be if they were me. I'd rather be vain and arrogant than constantly on the edge of suicide because of intense self hatred. I'm not gonna try to hit some sort of sweet spot between the two cause 1) I don't trust myself to be able to do that without swinging too far and being in physical danger again and 2) I like it this way.
I've changed a few other things about myself but they're much smaller and less important. I'm sure anyone could do it but hey I did it and that's cool
i too am very self absorbed, and i swing between vanity and self loathing often, but it's getting better. and good for u :) and since you're self aware you're probably not "insufferable"
Ok what I’m about to say is gonna be weird. So I do something I’ve dubbed mind scripting. It’s almost like fan fiction in my head. Basically I’m making a movie/show in my mind. Seeing the characters and talking through them in my mind. It’s weird. Also I talk to myself a lot and have arguments with myself. Also like I zone out or get dizzy and stuff some times. And question and overthink literally everything.
I do that too! I have so many universes of tv shows and games in my head, I love to insert myself into the worlds too by making my own character!
I have dysgraphia. If you don’t know what that is, it’s like dyslexia but with straight lines and writing. So what it means is that my hands don’t go as fast as my brain wants them to while writing, so I have to use technology to write things. For example, I wrote an English essay on an iPad, and it was much better than the one I’d written on paper. Also, it means that I can see straight lines, but not execute them, whether it’s drawing something or kicking a soccer ball (football for all you non-Americans) in a straight line. Finally, it means that I absolutely have to use technology to get work that would usually be done on paper done, and my Algebra teacher was a b*tch about it. For example, he sent me out into the hall for “misbehaving” MULTIPLE TIMES, even though I told him that I have to use my iPad for anything that needed to be done on paper several times. Who’s laughing now, Mr. Garinger, because I’m writing this on a piece of technology.
I also have mild ADHD symptoms, and I was pegged as a troublemaker for not sitting still in elementary school.

I don't think it's super unique but I daydream a ton. If I am not focused on you, I am working on my "fantasy series" in my head. I also hum while I'm doing it.
Actually, I hum any time I am "zoned out." If I am at a party and catch myself humming, it's time to leave because I will not be coming back to the present until I've had a break and solved the plot-hole in my next book. 😁
This is highly relatable-except I can't leave to go write because it always happens to me right in the middle of English.
Hey! I already submitted here, but I have something much better now. I cannot believe I did not think of it earlier. I have a really bad stutter. And that's kinda it
I can solve differential as well as integral equations while reciting periodic table.
Also, I easily forget names and faces of people but i can identify them by their posture, gesture and speech. Though it gets embarrassing when talking to someone without knowing how tf I'm supposed to response.😅

My brain likes to do this thing where every time I say any single word it tells me that was dumb and I should just never speak again.
I guess it's not unique if there's a Wikipedia page for it, but I have exploding head syndrome. The annoying part is wondering if the boom was real; when it WAS real that one time (a large branch had fallen on my roof), you can't help it.
Also, there's one thing I'm not sure has a name - once I told a therapist and she said, "uh, I'll have to look that up." When I was little I got sick a lot (sinus stuff usually). When I had fevers I'd sometimes get this condition where everything seemed as if it was extremely huge and extremely far away. Basically, everything looked the same by perspective but my brain told me it was all vast and distant, like the size of a planet. If I closed my eyes, the darkness itself felt like it was far away, so I couldn't find relief no matter what I did - I constantly felt like I was going to "fall in" in a sense. I'd have to tuck my face into something so I could know that things were near. Very frightening.
As a father, I can't imagine my parents' dismay hearing their child crying and attempting to explain this sensation.
When someone says any random word, I just instantly think of song lyrics.
Mines lame, but apparently I’m the only one I know who actually listens to and tries to understand song lyrics.
Low quality funky town playing al the time
Whenever I close my eyes and rub them, my brain inserts colors and random weird pictures that have no connections to my thoughts. It is like watching a the raw material of a dream.
I sometimes see colors when I rub my eyes, but no images. That's pretty intresting!
Oooo second submission but this one is also cool! I'm always interacting with some sort of music, whether it's stuck in my head, I'm humming/singing or I'm actually listening to it. There is no time in my life from waking up to falling asleep when I'm not thinking musically. I've been in choir since I was a very small kid and I've always been really close to music, so it makes sense. I don't have perfect pitch unfortunately but I do have perfect tempo and can hold a beat even without physical help for... a long time. Even when I'm not thinking about anything, I have music somewhere.
in my dreams i use an unusual word. my brain wakes me up to find out if i used it correctly. this is the reason i keep a dictionary by my bed.
I have ADHD and autism so that’s unique but I also have the ability to do reasonably complicated math in my head. Basically I am female rain man lol
I can focus on multiple things at once. Some people think that it can be a good thing, but for me, it messes with my mind. I literally cannot focus on one thing at a time. Like, i work on english with something running through my headphones and i'm also on bored panda. it makes me work slower than others.
Also, i have a really good memory, which makes people think that i am some freaky genius. i'm not. Literally all i do is memorize things, for basically every subject but math. That's literally the only subject i fully understand with little memorization.
so, uh, yeah.
Oh! I also have ADHD. That just adds onto everything else.
Fun.
(I love your username too! 💜 Member if the 🏳️🌈 fam) Okay, so what happens is I have a different personality. Not like the disorder, but sometime I act dumb and talk in a baby voice. Most of the time it's when people at school are bullying me. It's funny when their like "Oh My God"
