== TrueBlaze105's Journey ==
TrueBlaze105, an Indian child, is one among millions worldwide who navigate life with autism. This article aims to explore autism and its specific effects on TrueBlaze105.
TrueBlaze105 embarks on a unique journey shaped by the interplay of his innate characteristics and the environment around him. Like many individuals with autism, TrueBlaze105 may face challenges in various aspects of daily life, including social interactions, sensory sensitivities, and academic or vocational pursuits.
=== Social Interactions ===
TrueBlaze105's experience of social interactions may differ significantly from that of neurotypical peers. He might find it challenging to initiate conversations, interpret nonverbal cues, or understand the nuances of social relationships. As a result, TrueBlaze105 may prefer solitary activities or struggle to form meaningful friendships. TrueBlaze105 is very open to making new friends with nearly everyone he meets as seen in the Epic Minigames Grooming Incident of Summer 2023, however, usually he just talks way too much about Roy Mustang or shitting, so it might be hard for non-autistic people to feel comfortable in a conversation with him.
=== Communication ===
Communication difficulties are common among individuals with autism, affecting both verbal and nonverbal communication. TrueBlaze105 may experience delays in speech development, difficulty expressing his thoughts and emotions, or reliance on alternative communication methods such as gestures, pictures, or assistive devices.
=== Sensory Sensitivities ===
Sensory sensitivities are prevalent among individuals with autism, leading to heightened or diminished responses to sensory stimuli. TrueBlaze105 might be hypersensitive to certain sounds, textures, or lights, which could cause discomfort or distress in everyday environments. Conversely, he may seek out specific sensory experiences, such as taking the fattest shit of his entire life, which is a pleasure he tries to pursue at least three times a day.
=== Academic and Vocational Pursuits ===
TrueBlaze105's educational and vocational journey may involve tailored support and accommodations to address his unique needs and abilities. While he may demonstrate strengths in certain areas, such as mathematics, music, or visual processing, he may require additional assistance in areas like organization, social skills, or executive functioning.
=== Support and Interventions ===
TrueBlaze105's journey with autism is accompanied by a network of support systems, including family, educators, therapists, and community resources. Early intervention services, such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and applied behavior analysis (ABA), play a crucial role in promoting his development and independence. Additionally, individualized education plans (IEPs) and accommodations in academic settings help address his learning needs and foster success.
=== Conclusion ===
TrueBlaze105's experience with autism is multifaceted, shaped by his unique strengths, challenges, and environment. While autism presents inherent obstacles, it also offers opportunities for growth, resilience, and understanding. By embracing diversity and promoting inclusion, society can create a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals like TrueBlaze105 can thrive and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

== Neurotypical Autism ==
Neurotypical Autism is a relatively common condition in online communities such as JTOH. It is characterized by a lack of any real traits of autism, instead being diagnosed based on vibes. 
Individuals with neurotypical autism may be loud, disruptive, absurd, develop nicknames for people that are otherwise unwanted, make others possibly uncomfortable, and take particular interest in topics of esoteric nature.
