#being autistic

[ssavaart]

We went to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival today and I got to hang out with my friends Quincy's Tavern and Holly Auna IRL and it was SO wonderful.

I still only could handle about 2 hours of the crowds before needing to go home to the Hobbit Hole to recover from the overstimulation.

But we met some wonderful people and drank lemonade and talked as friends do.

I'm so lucky I have friends (and a SUPER supportive wife) who understand my limitations and love me for who I am.

Sending Big Hugs from the Hobbit Hole. ♥♥♥

Just a reminder that adult self diagnosis of autism is completely valid; the tests are not geared toward adults and miss plenty anyway. For more, may I suggest Eric M Garcia’s WE’RE NOT BROKEN or Steve Silberman’s NEUROTRIBES.

You know yourself pretty dang well and that counts.

if anyone tells you that being autistic in school isn’t traumatising, they’re so fucking wrong.

being autistic is like using google translate for emotions. like, yeah, its right sometimes, but a lot of the time its a little bit off and sometimes its completely fucking wrong

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, being autistic is like playing a board game without knowing any of the rules.

Ever since my videos on Youtube and TikTok started getting popular, people would recognize me out in the wild and then realize that I am SO AWKWARD in person.

I LOVE meeting people... but I never know what to say and I always feel like I've disappointed them afterwards.

So, a few months ago... I printed up cards that I could give to people I meet that has an apology inside.

If you happen to see me, please say hi.

But be patient with me... I'm doing my best to "people" .

Another Autism Thing I don’t see mentioned outside the community is how fucking *tired* you get.

I was just telling my partner it feels like it takes 110% of my energy to do what should, I feel, only take 60%.

Like it takes a good chunk of my mental and emotional energy to get to the level of “functionality” that, for allistics, is their baseline.

Like I’m starting a few flights of stairs down from the ground floor every day. Except nobody seems to know how to fix it aside from “run faster,” or “get up earlier.”

(Note: I know the term “functional” is erroneous and largely driven by capitalism. I use the word to describe what seems to be needed to participate, even while I know it’s bullshit)

And the thing is, I can’t always pinpoint what exactly is draining me so!

Does anyone else experience this? If so, what are your thoughts?
