So I have a nervous stim where I rub the palm of my hand and I’ve rubbed it completely raw. I’ve been really struggling to find a way to not do it so my hand can heal. I made this, super simple, single crochet in a round that fits around my hand, attach a chain around the thumb and then more single crochet. So far it’s worked pretty well. I can still rub it, and I don’t damage the skin more. So yeah this is a thing

Hi! I’m a 23 year old with autism and I’m writing a research paper about the lives of autistic people and what it’s like to be you. Going about your daily lives and living in a world not built for autism. Anything about work, school, relationships, positive or negative! I’d love to hear your stories or comments!

Having Autism™️is thinking you've perfected a dish and make it better than anyone ever has, but really you just have sensory issues and only like those things prepared One Exact Way

Fuck yeah, living my best life now.

You know your special interest is intense when you can tell someone the entirety of an episodes plot line just from the episode title. All 6 seasons, I have the entirety memorized.

I have a google doc sheet encasing lore, episodes where each voice actor became permanent or switched, favorite quotes, when certain romances were introduced, episodes where we’re introduced to side characters family members whether they’re speaking roles or not, the names of background characters and when they were first introduced. Basically my own version of a wiki page tbh.

Things About the Autism Assessment Process That Doesn’t Make Sense

idk if it's an autism thing but do you ever get those moments where you're mentally going through it but your brain is like ohoho this is a fact not an emotion you silly goose.

does that make sense? plz tell me I'm not alone on this one

It is 11:00 pm and I’m about to write an essay about Squid Squad’s “breakup” in fucking MLA format. It will include sources. I am losing it.

I had a lapse. Listening to music and suddenly I get this feeling. I'm pretty sure it's overstimulation. So then I'm like okay, let's get up and just go to the bathroom. Then I'm like okay let's just clean the sink, put the dishes in the dish washer.

I'm still listening to music at this point but I'm like okay I'm starting to feel a little okay. Let's hurry this up, cuz I started feeling like it was getting on the edge if that makes sense? So I cleaned the sink out cuz it smelled really bad man like I don't fucking know how to explain how bad it was o.o

Anyway, I come sit back down and I'm like oh this is to loud again. I turn it down. At this point I'm starting to want to breathe heavier. Then I'm like okay turn it down. More. Then a few moments pass, I'm just chatting with someone and suddenly it's all to much I can't do it.

I turn the music off, the notification sound from the computer triggered a response. Mute that shit now. Now the birds are freaking out. Okay let's put on headphones. Surf online. Okay just breathe. Just. BREEEAAAATTTHHHEE! I'm breathing. Start to feel better and then there's a sense of calm where I don't move but feel relaxed but still feel alert.

A lot of people want to label this as anxiety? I don't think it's like actually anxiety. I think it's similar or maybe it's anxiety but a symptom. It's actually being overstimulated and if I were to continue to ignore it I'd start getting really frantic and emotional. Like not just a feeling of anxiety but like totally just losing myself. Idk how to explain it. Manic? Idk. It can be really scary. Like it can feel as though you're losing control of yourself some how? Or like everything is just to much. Yeah. That's overstimulation.

I don’t understand why tone tags aren’t spelt out fully! I don’t like it, it doesn’t make sense for people who need them, it’s making it an expectation for them to just know what “lh” means 🤦🏼

#ffs just please spell out the full tone tag omg #I am not looking it up bro #tone tags #living with autism #adhd #audhd #autistic #actually adhd #actually autistic #neurodivergent #tone tag #tone indicators #nd🛸👽
