Yeah, both my kids are different levels of autistic but it wasn’t until my wife pointed out that I was too, it all suddenly clicked into place.

For reference, I would’ve been about 47 when this happened, a couple of years ago.

I have two, both on different levels of the spectrum.

I’m self diagnosed thanks to my wife giving birth to our wonderful autistic children and as we watched them grow up realised I’m autistic too.

When I’m excited about something and alone, I’ll either, hard to explain, try to mash my fingers together while moving them, as if to try and tie them up in a knot.

The other one I have is placing my hands over my mouth, like I’m reacting to something with shock, and then excitedly breath out in sharp short breaths.

My youngest on the other hand flaps his hands at the wrist. 😁 He loves PSVR and has broken several move controllers thanks to his stimming.

Re-reading this, and thanks for the reply, I’ve just realised my story must be boring if they interrupt me in the first place! 😁

Oh. I do this all the time especially when chatting to new people on the internet. If I do it and the chat goes cold, I’m wondering what have I done wrong.

It feels like I have a list of stories and anecdotes in my head to tell new friends and I’m just waiting for that trigger word or phrase to unleash my story.

Question: I don’t know if this just me but sometimes when im talking and the other person interupts me, once I’ve let them finish, I’ll purposely wait to see if they ask me to carry on. If they don’t, I assume my story isn’t interesting enough and feel a bit more boring.

Thank you yes. The original admin, for whatever reason, made an appearance and as you say, created more admins who use the server a lot more.

Everything should continue as normal. They were incredibly close to launching a new instance as well.

We have a problem over at feddit.uk, the sole admin has gone missing and no one has been able to contact him. All we wanted is for a few more people to be made admins then problems could be solved. A new server/instance is going to be created and hopefully everyone on feddit can move over. Unless the admin comes back, it will fall behind in updates and become defederated. This happened once a few weeks ago by lemmy.world but we managed to convince them it was in error and they federated us back in.
