#sensory issues in autism

[digital-delusionz]

When it comes to sensory issues in autism I really wished that more people talked abt being sensory seeking/hyposensitivity since it seems that it's mostly sensory avoidance and being hypersensitive to sensory input being talked abt.

I'm both sensory seeking and avoidant both hypersensitive and hyposensitive however I lean more onto that sensory seeking side. And seeing it rarely talked abt made me feel so disconnected from other fellow autistics tbh

I wish more ppl talked abt things like:

-abt the feeling abt being understimulated because you do not have that sensory input you need

-constantly listening to music /needing background noise in order to fulfill said desired sensory input and feeling like ur going insane without it and liking noise

-liking to touch things/being touched (like liking hugs a lot for example, that's something that helps me with sensory input a lot)

-often chewing on things(tho that is something I see getting talked a bit more!!)

Etc!!

i always see sensory avoidant autistic people talking about how their favourite foods are all plain carbs but where are the sensory seeking autistics who live on garlic and spicy foods? the ones who will eat a straight lemon and hate buttered noodles.

This environment is incredibly hostile to a creature such as myself (there are fluorescent lights)

oh so when vampires have heightened sensory awareness it’s cool, but when I have it it’s ‘autism’

#frankie.speaks #vampires #autism #it is my belief that all vampires (like cats) are on the spectrum #sensory issues

I used to wake up my parents in the middle of night, convinced there was a bee in my room.

There wasn't. I could just hear the electricity in the walls.

(Except that one time it actually was a bee and no one believed me.)

Let’s play a fun game called am I masquerading as an autistic person and acting how I think someone with autism would act or am I simply learning to unmask

#this game is unwinnable btw #everytime I realize I’ve forgotten to emote for a while my brain goes ‘well here you go again. you ableist fuck’ #catch myself rocking? why are you faking it #sensory issues? you are being a weirdo #anyways pondering this a lot lately #autism

Sensory issues are the worst because everything SHOULD be fine, but no, the way my hair grows from the follicles in my scalp feel terrible right now

shoutout to all the neurodivergent people who have been told by neurotypicals “but it’s not even that bright” or “it’s not even that loud in here”
