Isn't this like the most upperest layer of cumulus clouds?

u/sogyaudacitybig_gear Autistic 14h ago

Yeah this cloud is called the cirrocumulus and it’s awesome I also love the stratus but only really when there is a cool sunset

The cloud is screaming

I love them so much especially like in the pic below I took at my old house. When the sun shines through them and causes the Tyndall Effect (streaky sun beams you can see peaking from behind the cloud below I believe), it makes the sky look so ethereal and peaceful looking.

WWWWOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😱

Clouds block out the evil flaming ball in the sky, so they are fine in my book 👍. Still can't look at them often, since the sky is too bright.

u/United-Employ-4710 Autistic w/ social communication disorder 21h ago

Loved that sentence XD

u/Menn019 ASD Moderate Support Needs **Hug/cuddle, anyone?** 20h ago

Yes i love clouds.

As a child i've seen books passing by, one of them had an image of a bunch a youngsters on a balloon in the clouds...one of them grabbed a piece of cloud and was snacking on it like it was cotton candy....yes i had that fantasy of snacking on a cloud myself back then.

u/United-Employ-4710 Autistic w/ social communication disorder 20h ago

u/davidbosley353 Autistic Adult 21h ago

Clouds are super cool but I often get dizzy when staring at the sky

u/United-Employ-4710 Autistic w/ social communication disorder 21h ago

This reflection of a cloud i took

u/United-Employ-4710 Autistic w/ social communication disorder 42m ago

It looks like a ghost 0-0

u/Defiant-Barber-2582 AuDHD 20h ago

Yes. Always have. I think it has to do with how they change the light or how the light changes through them. And the shadows.

u/Number1Bg3Fan Autistic Adult 19h ago

They’re pretty and can make awesome shapes! But looking up at the sky hurts my eyes coz of the bright sun.

u/Sausagebean 19h ago

They’re just neat :)

u/mercutio_is_dead_ 17h ago

yes!!!! they're super pretty :)

also sun is super bright and hurts my eyes so i usually prefer cloudy days :) (esp when i have a commute!)

u/SammySamSammerson 17h ago

Fuckin love clouds

u/ShyJadessa 17h ago

Yes I get this sort of euphoria when I look at them especially at sunsets <3

u/Delicious-Lecture708 16h ago

I love clouds

u/MediumBuy7513 Suspecting ASD 15h ago

When i see certain ones it looks like a picture and i make up a story for it in my mind. I saw one and i thought it looked like a dragon and a knight fighting. Another one i saw looked like a war.

u/TizzyBumblefluff ASD Level 2 11h ago

Yes. I always love looking at cool clouds.

u/GlumTwist4694 10h ago

Yes. Each time I see them, they remind me of heaven and all the ones who’ve gone before us (if you believe in the afterlife, which about 50% of people do). For example, I know Jimmy Buffett has sailed off to the great Margaritaville in the sky but he’s looking down on all his Parrotheads who outlived him.

u/ahhibadi Suspecting ASD 5h ago

I love clouds but I hate when they block the moon and stars at night so I can't see them

u/United-Employ-4710 Autistic w/ social communication disorder 42m ago

Yeah fair point
