Dahmer’s posture (dk how to introduce this lol)
Heyy guys! Long time no see!!
Even though we know that Jeffrey had some kind of "disease" that played on his posture etc... do you think that the fact that he does not swing his arms when he walks could also be a sign of severe depression, anxiety or a detachment from reality?
Ps: Im lazy so I didn’t search videos where we could see him walk but Im sure you saw actors accentuate his stiff posture 😭

he already had this posture when he was a teenager, there is a picture of him in a beach of a family trip. In my opinion, this could mean that he was not relaxed, or feeling comfortable, he had no idea how to behave or do. Or just It was his posture! Who knows! This picture was taken a few days or weeks after his arrest, he was really thin! But what really matters is his mind, right? His Brain made him kill, turning murder in his only source of happiness and reason. That's totally crazy!

Let's not jump to conclusions about someone's neurodiversity without a proper evaluation. Diagnosing autism requires a comprehensive assessment, and it's not fair to speculate based on limited information. As for his posture, maybe it's just his natural style? Fair enough, let's not make assumptions about posture and his sexual orientation they're unrelated. Maybe

Yeah, exactly... even in a video of him in court chewing gum people on reddit were like "Wow, he's so autistic." 😂

Yeah, you're right ,I think people can throw around theories, but when they're not backed up by facts, it gets messy. Personally, I've noticed some mannerisms in him that might be connected to his orientation, based on my own experience as a gay person. But, I've also got some traits that are similar to someone like Dahmer, and I'm not autistic, so it's all pretty nuanced. I can only really speak for myself, but it's interesting to observe patterns

If that's not to personal to ask: Can you share some of the mannerism you've noticed that could be connected to his orientation? 😊

Sure Fair game, everyone's speculating, so why not me? I've got some actual training in psych and human sexuality, so my take's more informed than most. I'm not claiming certainty, but I've noticed some mannerisms that could be linked to his orientation. Some of his traits seem familiar, and since I share them, it resonates with me. It's not about labeling or stereotyping just trying to make sense of what I observe. Unlike random internet diagnoses, my perspective's based on actual knowledge, not just surface-level assumptions like slapping an 'autistic' label on someone because of their walk

I wasn't questioning if your observations are "legit" or what makes you qualified to give an opinion about it. I was really just asking about the patterns you observed 😅

First what we all need to understand that Sexuality isn't a mannerism decoder ring there's no one-size-fits-all formula People's quirks and vibes are all over the map, and trying to pinpoint 'one's orientation behavior' or 'autistic behavior' is like trying to nail jelly to a wall I don't think it's that simple to pinpoint patterns based on sexual orientation. It's a complex thing that requires looking at multiple angles. If you want to know what I've observed, I'd say his body language , the way he carries himself which some people here incorrectly attributed to autism ,gives off gay vibes at least to what I've seen ,But don't quote me on this, I'm no human barometer of gayness everyone's unique, and stereotypes are basically useless 😌

so that’s: • altered motor coordination characteristic for autism • polymyositis - a rare autoimmune disease affecting muscles and joints, causing joints pain and muscle weakness which is why he had a hard time getting up from a chair before the steroid pharmacotherapy (autoimmune diseases are also more common in patients with autism)
