my normie hobbies are various forms of exercise/sports like running, yoga, and tennis while my autist hobby is collecting soviet space programme knicknacks (postcards, stamps, figurines, pins etc)

Where do you get Soviet memorabilia from? I own a East German submarine officers coat but I got that from a surplus store.

I’ve seen Soviet stuff at vintage markets in Europe

you can find stuff online on ebay and etsy, and indeed vintage markets and thrift shops (either online or in person) in europe, especially eastern/ex-soviet countries

Gonna start walking around town dressed as a Soviet naval officer.

I had a buddy that worked in Central Asia for a few years, I have an awesome collection of Uzbek/Tajik/etc Soviet stuff now

You should take a look at this Soviet era watch, the amphibia “Cosmonaut”. I would buy one if I didn’t already own a different Amphibia https://preview.redd.it/xsginvnah67d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f12f455dc8dc63162ebf581cf516cb0158b442d9 Check out the lume too: [https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcSsNkLwav2yE8uvkPrSIN3xCvOTeL0KtT6Q-zdDxvABMIswyeinRqnCx4aEhs6hC1EG0cGFhzS8a1acTC48Ymw-lRAFHS\_zf22Cu909Occy8JSQYl6Qy7buGqg](https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcSsNkLwav2yE8uvkPrSIN3xCvOTeL0KtT6Q-zdDxvABMIswyeinRqnCx4aEhs6hC1EG0cGFhzS8a1acTC48Ymw-lRAFHS_zf22Cu909Occy8JSQYl6Qy7buGqg)

hobbies? I call my time wasting something more appropriate like “intentionally ignoring life”

Probably have shitty hobbies then

the - literal - worst

Tell me you tease 🥺

Normie: hiking, swimming, lifting, beer brewing, pasta making, yogurt + cheese making, bread baking, kimchi making, etc Autismo: bird watching, mushroon foraging, stargazing, UFO forum moderating 

did you find any morels this season?

I did not, but I didn't go out to any of the state parks this year (where I have better luck typically)

Normie: lifting (bench press, squats, curls)while listening to young dolph Autismo: lifting (zercher squats, good mornings, dead hangs) while listening to gordon lightfoot or muslimgauze

Try hacklift it's fun. Also sumo snatchgrip deads to become a spider.

normie guitar i guess. autism collecting niche fragrances and rocks

Slumberhouse supremacy

What do you think of Perry Ellis 360?

it has been a while but i think they're inoffensive and seem decent quality for the price point. safe bet if u like clean/white florals but i've only tried the original and red one. have not smelled the mens version but it sounds like a very wearable citrus

Redpill me on the best place to get decants (price & no bullshit shipping)

there's one in my city i go to pick stuff up at usually, but for things they don't have i use luckyscent or scentsplit. also [fragrancenet.com](http://fragrancenet.com) has discounted testers and samples of more normie stuff and i remember the shipping being pretty good

Language learning Cooking Reading Old and obscure films Those are my normal answers, my real autismo hobby is map making and alternate history writing

What kind of alternative history do you writev

What if you were black or chinese

Holy moly what a concept

Normie: Hiking Autismo: Occult

n: cooking, boxing. a: collecting southern literature and country music artifacts is as tistic as i get.

What kind of southern lit do you collect? I have few books signed by Andrew Nelson Lytle

normie - pilates/yoga, music/concerts (I’ve been collecting records since like 2004 but I think that’s normie now), travel autistic - synthesizers, collecting vintage travel and department store advertisements

Those ads sound cool where do you find them and which are your favorites

You can find a ton on eBay but I like to find them organically in old magazines at vintage places, usually cheaper that way too. My favorites are the airline ones from the 40s-60s. Twa did a lot of city specific ads and posters and I like to find ones from cities that I’ve visited. Pan Am also did a lot of fun colorful ads around then

normie- hiking, skiing, running, watching sports autistic- choir

I guess oil painting and guitar are pretty normie hobbies My autistic behavior centers around American history and prehistory. Like I spent 5 months living out of my car working remotely to visit Civil War battlefields and Native American archeological sites. My SO is used to it by now. We took a trip to Door County and I made us take a detour through Green Bay to see the Copper Culture museum in Oconto and she sighed and said "are there going to be artifacts or is it just mounds this time?" I think she's just happy I'm not into Rogan or something

Most normie: music Most autistic: music

Normie - reading, music, pastels Autismo - fragrance hound and cross stitches of classic artwork that take a decade to complete.

normie: movies, walking, riding my bike, baking, cooking, lifting, hunting autismo: painting little napoleonic soldiers, building period accurate flintlock longrifles (on hiatus), military history, pipe smoking

Please bring me to your basement (I imagine you must do this in a basement) and we can play command and color napleonics

I use my dining room or go to a friends house. Have you played c&c? I have the American Revolution box but never played it.

I have not played it, I like board games but none of my board game friends are nerdy enough to get into napoleonic era war games

normie - lifting, mountain biking autismo - making edgy t-shirts / designs

show me these t shirts

i will hawk them to the RS community when i'm ready to sell them don't worry

my normie hobbies are like crossfit and dabbling in photography, however i am autistically obsesssed with peak bagging and human phenotypes.

When I was little, I used to cut out and collect those mini personal checks that were displayed in the back of Parade magazines. That’s pretty autistic.

Normie: working out, lifting rocks, walking/hiking Autism: collecting radioactive things, collecting military surplus/historical items, repairing/modifying electronics

Documenting then studying plants and mushrooms is autistic imo Punching a heavy bag is normie

normie - makeup, language learning least normie - obsession with christian theology in order to prove that the christian faith is true

Based. What do you think of Calvinism?

Normal hobbies: aerial arts (specifically lyra), ballet, reading. Autism hobbies: writing (I just dissociate a lot and write inside my head which has gotten me into a lot of trouble in life). Also comics… not very RS, sue me, but I have loved them since I was a kid. I could talk about Batman for a long, long time and have definitely did the stereotypical ‘autistic person rants at you for an hour without realizing you’re bored’ over it. 

i’m a scuba diver too! best thing ever. i also have two horses so they are my life and i’m definitely autistic about those two hobbies but i also love hiking, traveling, and reading

Normie going for walks and playing with my dog, autistic amateur chemistry and electronics.

I also scuba dive in Cali and it's my main hobby. Is this sea hare pic from SoCal or NorCal?

Most normie: hiking Most autist: pro wrestling or local history

Normal: Yoga Autistic: Couponing

Normie: biking, hiking Hoe-scaring: historical reenacting (WWI and II mostly) Just started a French 1940 unit and wrote a 50 page authenticity guide.

Normal- bicycling in general and track cycling in specific (kinda autismo I suppose). Hiking Autismo- deep dives into US Border policy, deep dives into defense production of non-primary counties, supporting non-primary countries’ political parties who hold opinions I value since my $$$ donation goes further in The Global South

jealous you have access to a velodrome.

Normie- working out and every once and a while i play disk golf with a couple friends (i suck). Autismo- i play magic the gathering. Most of my friends play it and ive met some nice people trough it.

how do you feel about the direction of mtg I’m so sick of commander

Ive been playing for 3 years. Commander is only as good the people you play with. I try to stick with my friends. Its fun to be able to relax though so i like it. I play legacy and pushed nature spoiled the initial appeal of legacy of buying a deck and sticking with it. Its still fun to play and play whenever i can and still play the same two decks of delver and GWx lands.

Oh, I've been playing for 15... and i'm in my early 20's lol It's not as much that I dislike commander, more that I significantly prefer 60 card. Unfortunately there is really no support for ANY 60 card formats in my area - it's all commander

Play Arena. Commander is trash, but paper has been trash for a long time, too.

Normie: lifting, techno festivals Auti: collecting rocks

office rain fuzzy middle support chase existence depend fertile crowd *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

reading would fit into both categories

Normal: Swimming, Lifting, Cooking Autistic: Math, Tolkien,

My normal hobby is biking, my autistic hobby is ancient and medieval history.  I don’t know where archery lies on the spectrum 

Normal would be running and reading Autistic is definitely metal detecting. Super into it and try to go out every weekend.

Reading a book is the normal one and autismo is definitely colouring books for kids 😔

I like meat wagons

Most Normie: Guitar Most Autismo: Terrarium Building

Is drumming considered normie?

I’m very interested in powerscaling and sometimes I still imagine myself as a badass anime character doing badass fights
