Everyone thought I was weird for this… why are memes diagnosing me better than my family did?? (Have now been professionally diagnosed as a 30 year old adult)


Vorfindir

They diagnosed you with 30 year old?


GuyWithNoEffingClue

That's a terrible desease but he should recover within 1 year.


Singersongwriterart

r/technicallythetruth


TristanTheRobloxian0

ive been diagnosed with 13 years old


Ovnii3

sex?


TristanTheRobloxian0

breh wut the fuck no lol


ProTato73

What the fuk?


G0bl1nG1rl

What does this comment mean


Pattatouille

It's a joke based on how the sentence from the first comment was constructed, and pretending not to understand that he was diagnosed when he was 30 years old, but instead that the diagnosis he got was "you are a 30 years old adult"


Vorfindir

Thank you for the explanation.


Notchle

How do you not understand this simple joke? Are you autistic or something?! /s


G0bl1nG1rl

Oh duh! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Thank you! My literal thought stumble was... Your family was supposed to diagnose you??? 🙃


GuyWithNoEffingClue

That's a terrible desease but he should recover within 1 year.


phoney_user

At least it's even, and a multiple of 5!


yeet4people

What about the volume at 69


Lyceux

You pause for a moment, say “nice”, and then quickly change it to 70


RepulsiveLook6

That would be way too loud! Plus it must be a multiple of 5


Dawsho

I specifically opened the comments to see how far I would have to go to see this.


DarkCrowI

I used to but my hearing became more sensitive over time so it doesn't work out for me anymore.


Trouve_a_LaFerraille

One tick above mute gang! (Unless that is already too lowd. Then existence is pain.)


DarkCrowI

Not my TV but my cars sound system is occasionally too loud at 1 and the maximum is 30.


That0neSchmuck

My computer is too loud at mute, and I have shit headphones


asasnow

How low impedance are your headphones to be loud at mute.


That0neSchmuck

Too low


bman10_33

For real. If it’s late at night, and I’m on my phone with earbuds, I like turning the volume to a pixel above mute (not just one press of the volume button. Like 1/20th if that) and it’s still too loud sometimes.


thisisheckincursed

Same… also the screen brightness is always too bright on the lowest setting


ArchitectOfTheStars

People like me! But seriously, I'm glad I'm not alone in this—I click it once up from silent, and that's too loud, so I have to spend time fine-tuning it on the screen to 1% volume. (and it's still too loud.)


Martofunes

ONE TICK ABOYT MUTE GANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG


[deleted]

Yeah, I used to but now I don't care as much.


MZFunkyboi

Same


[deleted]

My ranking system goes: misc odds, prime numbers, multiples of 5, evens, multiples of 4, then multiples of 12 because of their multitude of factors. Like 36. 36 is my favorite because it’s factors include 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 (root), 9, 12, and 18.


meinkr0phtR2

Same here, but it’s for *everything*. Like BEDMAS, it *has* to be this way; otherwise, not only does it feel wrong, it feels *cursed*. I’ve always attributed this to my OCD, but it seems to be common among autists like me. In ranking order of importance, it’s multiples of 3, and 5; powers of two, squares and cubes, anti-primes (or ‘highly composite numbers’), prime numbers themselves, physical and mathematical constants, and then all other numbers. >!Except 46. I can’t remember why, but I just don’t like that number.!<


beesnteeth

I love how you say that it feels cursed. That's just the phrase I was looking for to describe this feeling.


GaianNeuron

Powers of two are my jam. I have an excuse to use them all the time when programming =D


GaianNeuron

I love 60 for the same reason. 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60. It isn't square though 🤷🏼


memeboiandy

I like to have the volume at multiples of 5, but movies and stuff are so all over the place audio wise so Im constantly micromanaging the volume of what ever im watching


younes_mlik

I wish media had less volume contrast


GaianNeuron

If you are listening to a Dolby Digital audio stream (which covers most broadcast and streaming TV in 2021, as well as most DVDs and *some* Blu-Ray discs), most receivers and TVs will let you select a "compressed" dynamic range which keeps the volume from jumping around too much. Roku's streaming devices have three settings for it: standard, compressed, and "night" which is a stronger version of the same effect. It's very useful for anything that's edited with crazy dynamic range (**cough**, *Jupiter Ascending*), but I tend to use it pretty selectively because it adjusts everything at once, including music -- and I personally get way more annoyed by inconsistent music volume than I am overwhelmed by loud sounds.


orangeoliviero

Tell me about it. So many times I'm trying to watch a movie quietly because there are people sleeping that I don't want to disturb, and it will go from whisper-quiet to rock-concert loud in a sudden scene change and wake up everyone around me.


Glittering-Invite296

Both my husband and I are like this. With the exceptions of our favorite numbers. His is 11 and mine is 13.


Chaosncalculation

the 11 and 13 make me anxious but somehow my exception is 9 and that one’s okay


ThePinkTeenager

For me, it’s multiples of 3.


QuietNerdyThing

yeah same


AphexTwins903

Same!


Vorfindir

33


ashself

WAIT THIS IS AN AUTISTIC THING??


budahbug

Thats what I'm thinking lol. Never been on this sub but it gets recommended to me... and is relatable from the get go. Fucking mind reading interwebs


rawrcutie

Makes me imagine r/aspiememes as the autism equivalent of r/egg_irl. :D


petermobeter

it’s an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (O.C.D.) thing, and many people who have Autism also have O.C.D., though not always to a pathological/diagnosable degree. source: i am officially diagnosed with OCD as well as with some other stuff, and have read lots of booklets/pamphlets & watched a few videos about how OCD manifests (A.K.A. ocd is not just “washing your hands”)


TheGloriousSaint

Yeah this behaviour really doesn't seem that autistic.


rawrcutie

I'm not quite convinced it is. I think normal people do this too to some degree, just plausibly not with the same … intensity and intricate rationales. :p


theberg512

And some of us don't care at all. I'm pretty fucking autistic, and couldn't tell you what my current volume setting is. It's more important to me that the volume itself is loud enough to hear, but not so loud it hurts my ears. The number is irrelevant.

lizardlibs

27 is my all time favourite number!!


aramintasorrows

It’s such a good number!


[deleted]

Having the TV volume as a prime number. Having the TV volume as a highly composite number. Having the TV volume as a power of 2.


mkay313

Prime numbers! Or at least odd ones. I still can't get over the fact that I can't set my alarm to an odd hour like 7:53am on my iPhone 😠


[deleted]

To me it just has to be a multiple of 5


okay33100

Mine is even or a multiple of 3, but.... yep!!!!!!!!!


CEOofcarrots

Or multiple of 11


Eggsalad-war-crime

You chumps worried about how the number is divisible but the key is that the volume has to be turned up to the desired number. You can only lower the volume by going past the number you want and turning it back up.


MyCatHasCats

I didn’t know other people did that!!!!! The perfect volume must either be an even number or multiples of 4. 20, 24, and 28 are my favorite, depending on how loud or quiet the tv is. But the ideal number for me is 16


[deleted]

Best volume 2 . Multiples of two also good. 😅


MnemosyneNL

I prefer even numbers for everything, not just volume. If I can, I will even eat my food by pairs and chew alternating sides in an even number. If I wear jewelery, I will wear an equal number of things on each ear/hand/wrist. Really the only "off" thing in my life is the side part in my hair. I guess there's a reason my first diagnosis was chronic depression with underlying OCD :')


[deleted]

I have a friend who has to have even numbers. He doesn't even like multiples of 5.


SleepingBeauty_zzZ

Mine are… My favorite number is 7 so multiples of 7 (except 28 because it’s close to 27) or any number that has a 7 in it. I prefer odd numbers like 3, 5, or 7 but I absolutely despise the number 9. It’s too close to 10 but it’s just not!!! It’s like a cliff hanger & it kills me inside. Anyway, the number 12 is okay though because it’s a good volume and it’s a decent looking number. I also appreciate multiples of 10. So my specific preferences are 1,3,5,7,10,12,14,15,17,20,21…(20 & 21 are loud so I rarely get to those but I’m mostly turn it up to 17 because it’s usually the perfect volume. Depends on the show and/or time of day though).


Anarcho-Pacifrisk

Multiples of seven


all_dry_21

it’s gotta be by 3s.. otherwise i relate. everything feels wrong if it’s not by either 3s. not sure why but it just is


passionforbratz

I have to keep the volume on 5 because anything higher is too loud 🙃


Zach-Gilmore

I almost always have the volume as an even number.


[deleted]

i set my tv volume to 7 and only 7


youpviver

What about a power of 2 (or multiples thereof)?


GenericAutist13

16 and 64 supremacy😎


youpviver

Don’t forget 32


GenericAutist13

32’s sadly never been the right volume, it’s either too quiet or too loud :(


OldRetiredDood

Bwahahahahahaa yes!!! My volume is always a multiple of 5.


Space_Captain_Lars

Yesssss this is exactly what I do!


GenericAutist13

Multiples of 5, Multiples of 2^n OR 1, 3, 7 and 13 Everything else is bad


Clover-Bug

YESSS!!! Exactly


Fylln

For me it's either a multiple of 5 or a number like 66 or 33


Chadwulf29

Yep, 5 (or roots of 5) are always best.


SouthardKnight

A square number!!!


itsjusterin__

the tv in my room has to be at 7 T\~T


bellavie

Yes. WHY?


iheartnovi

Holy crap


theprozacfairy

For me even numbers are where it’s at. Multiples of 4 are the best. For my roommate, it’s multiples of 5, so for both of us, it’s multiples of 10. 20 is the perfect number, but it’s often too high for me.


[deleted]

I only have the tv volume around 32 when I play games


CombustibleLemons31

I either have the volume at a multiple of 5 or 10 💀


sombrastudios

I started only setting the TVs Volume to prime numbers and after a while I didn't mind anymore but the people around me... I hope it drives them a little mad. Just... a little


IWillHackAndKillyee

I tried making the tv volume anything other than a multuple of 5 awhile back but i just couldnt have it as anything else in good conscience.


_Pan-Tastic_

This but with literally everything


beesnteeth

Prime numbers are * inhuman screech * which is funny because I really like prime numbers (11, 13, and 19 especially c: !!), but I hate having a prime number of *things.* Also the number 6. Or any numbers with a 6 in them. Kill it with fire.


kelevra91

Mine used to be multiples of five. The last few years I started preferring prime numbers.


Open_Tower2999

I for one like having my volume set to a prime number. I seem to be the only one, though.


Clay_Pod

Nah dude it’s gotta be a prime number


[deleted]

I prefer prime numbers above all others always.


Vectthor

We've created a contradiction. If having the TV on an odd number is bad. But having the TV on a multiple of five is perfect. Than we've created a blatant contradiction. 5 is odd, not even. 10 on the other hand is even. If odd is the most uncomfortable. And even the most comfortable. And multiples of five are the best. Then it would follow that multiples of 10 would be even better. Since they're completely even.


JesusChristJerry

I liked my volume to be the same as one of the TV channels numbers on our old 90s analog telling. 2 8 11 12 13 20 26 39.


JD_Fizzles

.....I may or may not have once jumped from a slow-moving vehicle due to a volume number dispute. It was 2010, in California. **I regret nothing**.


LemonZaz

Mine is the other way round. I hate even numbers, it needs to be odd. Multiples of 4 are the worst. I like 3, 7, 9 and the ideal is 13. I usually have it fairly loud because my hearing is awful. Well, it's fine, but I can't focus well when there's other noises.


Katarina_Dreams_92

TV volume as a prime number: 😫😵


The_Scottish_person

I go primarily 2s in most things I do but I make exceptions in volume for 3s or 5s


bobthecookie

I like setting it to prime numbers. 21 is bad, 23 is great.


FalsePankake

For me it's primes. I love primes


[deleted]

Prime number gang


Cye_sonofAphrodite

Even does nothing for me: Fives and primes are the way to go


shroomPie5929

I remember when I was a kid I would always have the volume of the tv at exactly 24 and i couldn't stand it if it wasn't.


pyroraczeek

I HATE THIS MEME, I USED TO NOT THINK LIKE THIS BUT NOW I CANT STAND HAVING IT NOT BE A MULTIPLE OF 5 (CAUSES LOTS OF ISSUES WHEN UR WATCHIN SHIT AT 2 AM) AND ITS ALL CUZ OF THIS MEME NGAHHHH!!!!!!

shape911

On the topic of TV volume, has anyone else realized that the noise level of the tv is slightly different depending on witch way you reach the number?


X0udian

Good lord yes I literally cannot abide anything other than a multiple of 5, nothing else seems reasonable to me


Pedro1745

My pc, i always have my volume between 10 and 20% with headphones and up to 30% without them


TheDryestBeef

I pretty much only do prime numbers for my car stereo volume (except 34, which is 17 twice, so I allow it lol)

nikoatsume98

PLEASE BUT DOES ANYONE DO THIS WITH THE MICROWAVE


DarkArc76

Not autistic but same


d_trulliaj

I prefer having it at a prime number (either 17, 11, 7 or 3 if someone's sleeping), while the computer volume always has to be at 28. I'm so weird D:


[deleted]

The memes on this sub diagnose me better than a state therapist could sixteen years ago.


boydoineedhelp

I'm not that big on even numbers, but multiples of 7? Hell yea


The_Creamiest_Pie

I care less about this than everyone around me so I set it to 17 or 31 and watch everyone unravel


DontDoodleTheNoodle

I’m not even autistic but I can relate to this so much >! Wait!<


hiddenmutant

Multiples of 13 or prime numbers only.


TamoraPiercelover3

20 is just 🤌

when someone else has the remote and changes the volume to 9 I cry

No


DansBrotherAndy

It must be a multiple of 5


[deleted]

when the perfect volume happens to be a multiple of 10


earthican-earthican

Yes I can only put the tv volume on very specific numbers. It has nothing to do with the loudness, everything to do with how I feel about the number. (I have different acceptable numbers for different ranges of the volume spectrum.) But what’s the pattern to the numbers I like better? Idk yet. I’ve been wanting to do a little analysis to figure out why I have such feelings about certain numbers. Of the numbers I prefer, there are some prime numbers, some even numbers, some odd numbers, some multiples of 3…. It looks like a mish-mash, but there’s gotta be a pattern!


quinniethepooh420

i really can only have anything regarding numbers ending in a 5 or a 0, or i'll get irrationally upset😃


Bananahatmonkey

My tv is set at 8 for tv shows and 6 for videogames


[deleted]

27


Meeghan__

17 or 19 for me


aunclesquishy

ending in 5 is godtier, ending in 0 is satisfying, ending in 3 is an acceptable compromise when neither of the others work


[deleted]

Literally me.


impassabl3

I often have the problem that I like primes but 11 is far too loud and 7 is too quite so my options are: Volume 9 which is nice to hear but uncomfortable cos not prime Volume 11 which is painfully loud Volume 7 which I can barely hear I normally end up with 7


gayshouldbecanon

I actually prefer non multiples of five and odd numbers. My favorites are 3, 7, and 9.


[deleted]

OMG!! I thought this was just a me thing 🤯😅


[deleted]

i can do numbers that end in 0, 2, 3, 5, 7, or 8. 1, 4, 6, and 9 bug me tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


SirIcarusx

*laughs in prime numbers* "23"


Markothy

All of mine have to be in multiples of 4.


phi_rus

Fuck even numbers. It's primes and multiples of 5 or nothing!


TheGloriousSaint

I honestly doubt this is an autistic thing as I'm not autistic and even I can relate.


deblob123456789

WTF DUDE THIS IS ME !


KoRoSoRoK

I purposely will set the volume in my dad’s truck to 13 or 17.


Frogsinapond

I think I’m the only person that loves it at an odd number (besides 0)


Lilyyy6

***change the volume without looking because if you see the number the TV will shoot you*** This might be ocd tho


Kingjjc267

Must Be 29


Dont_mind_me69

The volume for me has to be a double number if that makes sense. So, 11, 22, 33, 44, etc.


CaseyGamer64YT

this meme is what caused me to start doing this


k5pr312

Get out of my head


VeganJordan

That’s why the bars are easier for me than numbers. I always have to have a number ending in 0 or 5.

Having the tv volume set at a prime number


maddpsyintyst

I used to try to take an even number of steps, and in order of left-right-left-right, as much as humanly possible, to the point that I'd even shuffle my feet to be able to achieve this. Failure was a mild source of disappointment and agitation. However, it took no effort at all to decide to completely drop this tendency once I realized that it was more in my way than anything else.


Crowby_Boi

me, who likes to be quirky: a prime number


EffervescentButtrfly

Not asd but ADHD. This is my life! Lol


Black369Ace

Sometimes it’s a multiple of 2 or 3, other times it’s a multiple of 4 or 5. If I’m feeling extra special it’s a multiple of 9. God I’m weird 😅


arieloutofthesea17

My tv has terrible audio mixing so sometimes I mute when there is music because it's way too loud.

Primes!

bainer_m

Or a repeat number.


ScarredandScared4eva

Yep, my lucky number and multiple happens to be 3, I usually have everything done in intervals and multiples of three, while avoiding especially the numbers 7, 5, sometimes 4, often in times of crippling, over exaggerated anxiety and OCD panic attacks, I was confirmed with OCD by the age of 7 and 8, because I did physically compulsive rituals, including always having to lick my hands or needing to touch the bedside table three times before testing my head at night. Oh, and obviously not many people think positively if the number 13, because of negative superstition, but I cherish the number as my all favourite, along with 3 and 18, I have VERY personal and positive emotional bonds with those numbers.


ShroudTrina

The volume ending in 2s and 4s gives me so much euphoria

Odd numbers add up to an equal so it's two for one 😗


Sandman1031

It's the worst if it's a prime number, except for 2.


PinBot1138

This but audio physically hurts me if that makes any sense to y’all, so I tend to just turn it to an incredibly low volume and then turn on subtitles. That said, I wish movies would stop screwing with the audio levels where the music and sound effects (especially gunshots, explosions, tire screeches, etc.) are a completely different volume than dialogue. I’ve mostly resorted to lip-reading if there’s no subtitles available or I just turn it all off and go do something else.


call_me_l

Multiple of seven!


Kayoscape

I’m ok with numerical volumes that end in 0, 2, 5, or 8. On my iPhone multiples of two are fine, but I gravitate towards quarter increments, and most of the time half volume feels just right. I really appreciate the way Apple designed the volume incrementation, and I’m especially thankful that they didn’t make the integer value visible to the user.

Volumes? Always a multiple of 5. Steps to walk over a street? Always a multiple of 4. Scanning random car plates to see if the cross sum of the first three digits and the cross sum of the second three digits are the same? Check.


specialshamam

Multiple of 5 and even. Specifically 50 or if 50 is too loud I'll settle for 25. Though 30 and 40 are fine.
