CW: Body Horror? . This AI video attempt to show gymnastics is one of the best examples I have seen that AI doesn’t actually understand the human body and it’s motion but is just regurgitating available data. (Which appears to be minimal for gymnastics)

Many Autistic ppl experience the “Cassandra Complex”. This is effectively … the ability to accurately anticipate future events, warn ppl about them, & yet our warnings are dismissed or ignored. This is often related to some combo of pattern recognition, spins, & hypersenses

Many Autists tend to personify the objects around them. This is understood to be a form of synesthesia where the sense of Empathy bleeds into our perception of objects. Autists can develop complex relationships with objects they have known for long periods of time.

If you are asking yourself: . "Is it ADHD, Autism, or a secret third thing?" . The logical answer is: . It's AuDHD with some CPTSD from going this long without realizing you are AuDHD. (Please note that CPTSD on top of AuDHD will cover a variety of acquired neurotypes).
