All of you complain about overstimulation and sensory overload
We need to talk about under stimulation. I’m not saying I want to be overloaded with information. No I mean when I get panic attacks because there is not enough self stimulation in a situation. I have to walk out of meetings to pace around and think to calm myself down because my fight or flight response has activated from being not being able to stim.
I get so anxious when I cannot listen to music or have something playing in the background because I need stimulation that I choose to have and which I have control over
It physically hurts my brain.

Sensory issues are so funny. No I can't eat the spaghetti you bought a slightly thicker spaghetti than usual. And today isn't a spaghetti day! Oh nevermind today I don't care. I have so little texture related sensory issues I'm so glad. Nvm I can feel all of my seams and I'm wearing the good pants and also please get me scissors I haven't cut the tag out of my new shirt yet. Oh my sensory issues with sound are nonexistent. Nevermind this hurts so bad. Nevermind it doesn't hurt anymore.

autistic culture is needing explicit directions for even the simplest of tasks and without the directions having zero idea how to get it done because What If I Do It Wrong(tm)

The adhd/autistic feeling of hating the lights on but hating not being able to see in very well in dim light.

"Yeah I started this new show"
I've been obsessed with this show I started two days ago, I watched the entire show in a day, have written fan theories and read all the fanfiction I could get my hands on. I rewatch the same 5 episodes cause my favorite character is in them and am currently thinking about that character and what they would do right now if they were in this same conversation.

Am I the only one who gets their rejection sensitive dysphoria activated when a post you really care about doesn’t get many notes?
(it’s going to be really ironic if this is one of those 🙃😅)

I love eating food “wrong” because it makes the experience about 10 times more enjoyable. It used to drive my parents crazy but that didn’t stop me!! I would pick the chocolate chips out of my cookies and eat them separately, split apart the frosting from cake, sort my M&Ms and eat them in a very specific way- (first, you sort them into different colors, then you eat them until you have the same amount of each color, and then you eat them alternately in least to most favorite color order).
I also had a phase where I used to buy a giant bag of smarties and label every wrapper with a number and eat from the highest number counting down, saving any of the white smarties in a bag until I’d eaten the rest of them. No clue why I did this but it made that mediocre candy extremely fun.
Doing stuff like that doesn’t hurt anyone and it’s fun so I don’t get why it gets pushback sometimes!

My brain: Am anxious, please mute the world.
Me: *puts on my noise-cancelling headphones*
Also my brain: Too quiet, please give back sound.
Me: *internal screaming*
