I genuinely open up about this matter.
All my life, movies have usually beaten my senses whenever I watch them somehow.
Anyone could yell and it would affect me but not anyone else whether they have autism or not.
Wherever I went, a movie or show would be playing and people would make me deal with it by refusing to turn it off over other people.
Never mind the things I disagree on with each movie or show…all of them genuinely affect my senses and they always did even right now.
I am autistic myself…does anyone else with autism know how to handle this situation?
Thank you. More like I am explaining the impact I have on others because I happen to be very opinionated in what I like and don’t like.
I grew up on movies and shows like anyone else (even in treatment) but it was always a painful experience because I don’t like actors yelling or making faces and chewing the scenery, not to mention the other reasons I despise movies and shows which does tie with how opinionated I am with most of them.
If I even see one clip of a movie I loathe, all bets are off, but thankfully my parents understand what I do and don’t like and I can politely explain why I don’t like that one clip.
Some movies and shows in particular (like Pixar) are universally loved yet they hurt when I watch them because they ‘make you cry’ as they say because they pander to your emotions so much when all I would rather do is if not watch an actual movie, then read a book or a comic because I handle that better.
I figured as a genuine autistic person I could explain myself here and be understood.
Plus, I decided to volunteer as a moderator and upload more content for this instance.
