like genuinely finding ugly things ugly is a normal person thing. “Oooh I like colors to not look shitty so I must have a mental disorder” is the most attention seeking vain shit I’ve ever heard and they keep trying to tell me im autistic it’s so dumb
super tired of people making everything a symptom. at work I said it was kind of bothering me that we had all the colors of mt dew but not in rainbow order and asked if I could reorder them and now my coworkers are convinced im OCD or autistic. girl

As somebody who has OCD and autism it’s much more than wanting to keep things “orderly“ I work in produce and I will spend an ungodly amount of time trying to perfect the displays to the point where my boss has to tell me to stop. I also deal with compulsive hoarding, so it’s like a double edged sword

no literally like I feel like these people have such a shallow concept of what these words mean. I know a guy with OCD who compulsively washes his hands until they bleed. that’s OCD, not “yeah the colors being out of order was really bothering me”

the crazy part too is my coworkers are ALL convinced they’re at least autistic so now im wondering how many of them are self diagnosed and just wanted to seem special bc what do you mean this is what you think autism is
