me when i wanna talk about my special interests but i got the vampire autism where you gotta invite me to talk about smth first, otherwise i wont say shit or dont know what to say because i feel like im annoying

#even if you do invite me to talk about it i feel like I'm being annoying

[caught-the-aut]

I wonder why

Sorry boss, I can't come into work. Got a new special interest, and I have to spend every waking moment engaging with it. Yeah, it's a category five autism event, it's gonna be a while until I can come back to work. Thanks for understanding, see you in a few weeks.

eveeyones got it wrong your mid 20s arent for going to the club or partying or picking up new crafts. your 20s are for discovering how much more autistic you are than you thought you were in high school

being neurodivergent is all fun and games until someone is slightly critical of you and you suddenly feel physically ill

Autism and masking are so funny because like internally I despise when plans change or food feels funny in my mouth or there's a tag in my shirt or I talk to too many people in one day or I have to make a phone call, etc so I always feel like a nervous wreck at any point in the day, but on the outside I'm just 😎😊😃 just vibing and I seem so chill and adaptable and emotionally put together, so it's hard to differentiate like am I GENUINELY okay with this or am I masking

Being a media obsessed autistic kinda sucks ngl. Why couldn't I be constantly thinking and learning about something cool like space or useful like cooking? Instead, I microwave cartoons in my brain :/

#and then worry about my interests being ~problematic~ 🙄 #there's nothing problematic about space its just there!! #and then i also worry about my interests being ~cringe~ too #like yes yes cringe culture is dead but i am embarrassed to exist wearing anime tshirts and having things that i like on display #in my own home #personal

#wish i had my brother's brand of (maybe) autism that got him hyperfixated on cooking and coding and hiking #he makes bank and lives a pretty healthy lifestyle #but at the cost of overanalyzing and having anxiety about everything

Diagrams are helpful to me

People who don't have autism: you can't self diagnose yourself with autism no matter how much research you do! You have to take 3947493 tests and pay thousands of dollars before you can call yourself autistic!!

People who have autism: yeah you're autistic. We're diagnosing you.

hyper fixations are so embarrassing for me because I make every part of my life center around the thing I'm fixating on like I would get out of bed and serve myself a bowl of cereal and be like "just like my Best Friend Finn the Human would :)" and it's completely unironical

I was overstimulated and now I’m evil

[caught-the-aut]

being asked follow up questions while infodumping is what i imagine sex would feel like if it was real

[caught-the-aut]

I was wrong lol

Yeah okay sure, I'm autistic

#i'm still in denial #and have just been ignoring all this completely for the last like two months #personal
