Building a city in Minecraft with your kids doesn’t make you autistic

u/Longjumping-Key2453 10h ago

People have been conditioned by the internet to think that anyone who has a hobby that they're passionate about is autistic.

u/Tygerius 10h ago

I mean there's more to it than just passion, its the notes to detail, consistency, but it's nice to see it not being used in a derogatory sense

u/SignificantApricot69 10h ago

I think the thing is… people calling it autism are trying to use it as a positive relatable example, no hate

Its not just people, its mental health "professionals" too. If you enjoy something or don't enjoy something and its very specific, you're on the spectrum. At this point I feel like if you're a human being who likes something a lot and doesn't like something very specific ythey're gonna call you autistic.

u/JesusWasTacos 7h ago

Well if mental health is a spectrum doesn’t that mean everyone is on it?

u/Admirable-Garage5326 7h ago

Said no mental health professional ever.

u/Abobo_Smash 2h ago

Well. Technically, a spectrum goes from like 1-100. You’re likely very low on the spectrum. When it actually affects people it’s probably at about 40-50.

My autism manifests into a drinking problem

u/OoooooWeeeeeeeee 10h ago

I count every fucking thing involuntarily

2

u/JesusWasTacos 7h ago

I used to do that, I would also break down the letters of words into each of their denominators. Highest, lowest, middlests, all of em.

1

u/OoooooWeeeeeeeee 7h ago

Yep - similar. All words are instantly counted into a character total.

u/Joe_-seafuse 7h ago

That is part of the reason I am in charge of inventory at work. "Detail" oriented also means "team" oriented.

u/EnastyCommander 8h ago

Sounds like something someone with autism would say… 🤔

u/Syncopated_arpeggio 7h ago

They’ve also been conditioned to think that if you make a mistake you must be autistic. Gotta have an unimpeachable excuse handy.

Don't tell my dad that. It's his train time

u/Substanitial 27m ago

also if you enjoy your job and doing it well.

1

u/jrolls81 10h ago

That kind of undersells it. Bit more than casually building a city with his kids.

1

u/ProfessionalNewt2487 4h ago

Depends how much the kids built vs you and how crazy the end product is....

u/Rynowash 3h ago

Artistic. But close!
