@catswhocode@actuallyautistic not sure if anyone has read any Shakespeare, but Hamlet resonates with me for the same reason. He overanalyses everything. It is referred to as his 'melancholic disposition' which for me is ASD/mental health
@catswhocode@actuallyautistic i agree. It is a sad story, and it rang a bit to close for me in many ways. I've had struggles with mental health and intrusive thoughts most of my life, and to see it from something written before ASD existed, that seems to look similar to what goes on in my head is amazing, and terrifying :ir: :blobcatgoogly:
@actuallyautistic one example I can give is at work - I do a lot of document management, and I always debate over whether or not to use abbreviations because I'm afraid people won't understand them. But they can just look at the documents ffs :blobfoxlaugh:
