My Unofficial "Autistic" Identity.

UberScout

Please Don't Be Mad At Me 02/09/1996
V.I.P Member
Ever since my discovery of people's custom-drawn characters (fan art etc.) I've been searching for an "official" way to identify my real life self without revealing too much personal stuff.

And I didn't want to just depict myself as a guy with black angel wings or some kind of furry little wolf-cat looking thing that has a red scar on his face, I wanted something that defined me as "Yes, my name is UberScout and this is what I am."

I can't just sit behind a forum post with a paper bag on my face, if you guys get my drift.

So I will describe my identity like so (I don't have a drawing tablet at the moment.)

I have the mind of a wolf who is willing to look out for others but will not hesitate to rend your jugular once I learn you're a threat...

...and I have the body of a warrior ready to take a stand for his home and everyone he loves...

...but on the visible surface, I have the mind of a happy, soft-serve jelly who can't do much other than jiggle around and is always waiting for someone to talk to...

And obviously, I can't be all of these things at once.

So who do I choose to be out on the surface all the time? On one hand, I want people to see me as strong and powerful (the wolf), but on the other, I don't want people to be threatened by my quirks, so I hide behind an innocent demeanor (the Tickle Monster) so as not to drive them away.

My stepfather once told me that when people don't understand something, they fear it. So, I asked him, if nobody understands Autism, does everybody fear me? I've never killed anyone or even tried to, and I only really let my dark side out when I get pushed too far.

I don't know which one of these is the real me...
 
Oh jeez, I don't even know if those pictures are showinf up for anyone else, they're X'd out on my phone...
 
Ah, I tend to do the same sort of thing. Except that I cannot draw worth a crap, so I tend to just look for already-existing characters that are somehow similar to my actual personality & tendencies.

And thus, Misery (who is also my avatar image there, so dont really need to post a pic). She is from Cave Story. I've never found a more fitting character. I use this name *everywhere*. Even for games I've worked on, I'm credited by that name.

Now,On BoardGameGeeks, where I couldnt get any of the names I usually use, I am "Scrap Baby" (and I'll likely start using that name more in some places). She looks like this:

Wouldnt want to run into that in a dark alley. Or anywhere else. Every bit as homicidal as she looks, so... not quite aligned with me from that angle. Well, considering how I tend to behave in video games... maybe a little bit. I admit I can be rather warped sometimes, not just when gaming. Okay, really warped. I dont mind at all if it intimidates anyone.

I suppose those two characters together work for me pretty well.

Okay, I'll stop there. Tend to rant too much when bringing up characters I like.
 
I experience a lot of fear from people, it's a social mode ppl go into when they can't understand, I hafta go into a 'nothing to see here folks' mode a 'no threat here folks' mode kinda thingy.

OR MAYBE I'M JUST RILLY SCARY!!!

you d3cid3.
 
I'm similar to you...sweet, outgoing, bubbly....

But once you hurt me, and especially once you hurt someone I love...a whole different side comes out.
 
Dont forget wolves have packs. And this forum could be considered one. Just remember who the prince is.:p

Kinda the same here.

I don't want anybody hurting my friends and family. I'd put myself in danger for one of my friends or family members, even if that means that I'd die.

I'd rather die than see on of my family members get hurt by somebody else.
 
I have a cold side but it's a survivor skill. l flip into it if my feeling cup is overfilled. Or maybe it's a mask and hides my tickle monster side. But l have learned through trial and error, to win by using my intelligence is more satisfying then using anger. I also have learned to be way distrustful of people at my age. We are all modern day warriors, the ones with the best survivor skills win.

@Misery I like scrap baby. She's been there and done that. She is multifaceted in her looks.

I don't care what people think about me, they don't pay my bills, wash my dishes, whatever. I live my life , l answer to myself. I don't need sheeple approval.

You could try something representative of action. For example, my name here, Shamar, is an old Turkish word meaning "a slap on the face." It sort of symbolizes the rejection I have received by society and individuals during my life. The avatar looked like this:

I later came across the "fish climbing tree" quote, decided that was better, and made a new one.

Sorry, that must hurt. I love rejection, l actually try harder. My parents totally rejected me. But l went to a foreign country, and l received acceptance.

When I think of the definition of autism and it being a developmental disorder and how it stops a certain age ,I wonder if it means we look like a little child ,like a two-year-old who will happily hit something and a second later be crying ,does it mean that I really look like a toddler!

I'm not sure exactly what my "Autistic Identity" is. What you are describing sounds kinda like a persona (fancy for an avatar, usually used online, and also using custom art, either made yourself or commissioned). I have a friend who is really good at art, but IDK what to tell her what I'd want my persona to look like.

Batman. Always be Batman.
 
Okay, i dont know how to fix the pictures, so I'll tell you what they are.

The first one was a wolf.

The second one was a warrior in a full set of armor.

And the third was SCP-999.

I hope that helps, I'm on my phone right now so I don't know how to fix them.
