I feel really bad when people say they hate Stephen Stotch and Linda. I have hyperfocus, and I struggle with it—it causes me a lot of pain. I've even had panic attacks because of it. When I see hateful comments, I feel personally attacked because I have a deep emotional connection to these characters.
I'm autistic (Level 1), and I know this might sound unusual, but hyperfocus makes us experience strong emotions for the things we love. Can you guys understand how that feels?
Right now, I'm having an anxiety crisis because of some of the comments I've seen. I don’t want to criticize anyone’s opinions—I just need some friends who can help me get through this.
