I am very autistic and incredibly low functioning. I can’t enjoy normal life because my ADHD prevents me from paying attention to anything without shouting, bright flashing colours, squealing, or exaggerated imagery. This is why I watch anime, because when anime characters depict emotions, they are usually exaggerated, loud, and over-dramatic. This helps accommodate my mental retardation, because it makes their emotions a lot easier to understand for someone like me.

Also, I’m drawn specifically to high school animes because the characters in them are typically very happy, and often get what they want without the need to change themselves. I see this in myself since I’m not able to grow out of my autism. I’m able to enjoy stuff like anime because I cannot comprehend real-life responsibilities or any long-term consequences of my actions, have zero social awareness, and cannot criticize anything negatively, since I’m mentally incapable of understanding satire or criticism.

I may provoke or offend you, but know that is simply because I do not understand the basic rules of human decency, and have little empathy. Because I am severely autistic.
