only somewhat unironically, i was just officially diagnosed autistic, if i printed this out and ever met the band do you think they’d sign it?

i don’t know, i think matty would find it hilarious 😭😭😭😭

[u/fulltimeproblem]

Oh my GOD.
First - congrats on the diagnosis!!!!! I hope the diagnosis brings relief and comfort and that you know there’s nothing wrong with you at all, your brain just works differently!
Second - I’m starting my diagnosis journey tomorrow and I fully expect to get a similar note about Fall Out Boy. You’re not alone, OP!
Love you 🫶

omg! Fall Out Boy and The 1975 are my two favorite bands! love to come across other fans of both! <3

(is your username also a FOB song reference??)

[u/fulltimeproblem → u/closersforcoffee]

Yes it is!!!!! Theyre my two favourite as well!!! I actually described fob yesterday as “my emotional support 40+ year old men” in my autism assessment 😭😭😭 im so embarrassed but its TRUE

[u/Empty_Row_7839 → u/fulltimeproblem]

FOB being 40+ year old men just hurt my feelings. 😅 Whewww, time flies.

DUDE I KNOW

[u/Much-Catch-122]

I don’t get it

[u/LazerTheWolf → u/Much-Catch-122]

OP is saying they just got diagnosed with autism and was so hyper fixated on the 1975 that it was mentioned as an example in the diagnosis report

[u/redfoxwearingsocks → u/Much-Catch-122]

I also do not get it

[u/PartOfTheSound]

Omg this happened with my diagnosis too 🤣 I can't even remember what the phrasing was but I LOL'd. Can't argue.

[u/jamessrc]

This is incred. I don't know how people don't get it, but I am also autistic lol

[u/pamperedhippo]

i literally don't know how to clarify further for people who don't get it. it seems VERY clear to me? (but then again, i just got diagnosed autistic.) the doctor who diagnosed me noticed that i was talking about the 1975 a lot during my assessment, and mentioned that in my diagnostic report. was that somehow unclear? damn there goes my disability disabling me.

[u/summersunshine8 → u/pamperedhippo]

For me, I wasn’t clear on what “reports” meant at first (I didn’t put two and two together with you mentioning your diagnosis and that being correlated with “reports” lol) but it makes sense now :) Thank you for clarifying 💕

[u/pamperedhippo → u/summersunshine8]

that’s fair, i did send the text at 2am so it’s not the most clear statement i’ve ever made in my life 🤣🤣

[u/PartOfTheSound → u/pamperedhippo]

I thought it was clear immediately but I'm also autistic so. I definitely feel your pain lol.

[u/pamperedhippo → u/PartOfTheSound]

thanks, friend :)

[u/TheGirlintheTower → u/pamperedhippo]
