What’s something you do that would make other people think WTF?

I didn’t realise it was strange until my sister complained about it being incomprehensible gibberish, but I listen to podcasts at at least double speed.

One of the characters on the Hideous Laughter podcast Interlude episodes had long pauses between words so I kept speeding it up until they stopped bothering me. Then everything else sounded weird at normal speed and I’d get bored during the pauses between people speaking, so now they’re all on 2-2.5x speed.

I got a spectrum diagnosis as a kid, but worked really, really hard to get good at socializing. Part of that, and something I still do to this day, is to run lines like an actor when I’m alone, or think I’m alone. I’ll say the same thing again and again in different ways, until i’ve found the “performance” i like.

I say something unique to myself (like the date or something I’m working on today) when I lock the door, so that I can think back to that moment later in the day and remember that I locked the door. Otherwise I start worrying about if I locked the door or not.

I point at things I want to remember like that. Same concept, memory for actions is much better than remembering thoughts.

Like you eat the core as well or that you pop the whole apple in your mouth?

When I read the IMDb trivia about a movie or series, it means I really enjoyed it. It’s like, my stamp of approval.

I do the same but with interviews with the people that made the movie, especially the writers.
