Crying in bed alone because autism is very hard, cannot have fun outside with people because makes me nervous/sick…just want be like everyone else but I can’t…Miss on birthdays, seeing family and some friends…it’s debilitating and it’s even harder because 95% of my family doesn’t accommodate my needs based from my autism because they don’t believe I am despite my diagnosis…I feel so lonely, my fiancée/CG, online friends and my AgeRegression truly brings me happiness but when I see how much I am lacking behind in comparison with other people my age, it hurts…
I don’t feel 22, I only feel like a tiny child in an adult costume too big for myself…I am forever 3years old…forever too fragile for mundane things..
Sadness is an intricate part of my soul, I pray every night that I’ll be able to do more things than yesterday, sometimes I can and a lot of times I cannot,
I am crying tonight because I am tired, things didn’t go as planned today so I guess it’s the way my body tries to calm down to avoid a meltdown
Writing help my brain, helps soothe myself like a hug would do, I need full pressure on my body, it’ll help, writing gives me this sensation,
I am sad tonight but it mean that I’ll be happier tomorrow and this all that matters🪽

"Hi little one, what are you doing? Are you flapping your hands? That's so beautiful! Do you want me to stim with you to help you feel more comfy? Okay, let's flap together! Do you know what you look like? A tiny little butterfly! You're a happy flappy butterfly! Your stims are so cute, baby. I love seeing you happy. Never be ashamed of that, okay?"

We always talk about how autistic adults are adults, and that's true. but shoutout to the autistics that :
age regress
pet regress
don't feel human
are age stunted by trauma
who feel like a teen/child for whatever reason
who want to be a child again
age sliders in a system
littles in a system
middles in a system

do you have any favourite stims? 💗
Hi anon ♡
Some of my favorite voluntary ways to stim are:
♡ Swinging on a swing
☆ Playing with sand and feeling it slide through my fingers
♡ Watching repetitive GIFs and stimboards (especially of my comfort characters ♡)
☆ Petting my cat (or any cat, really)
♡ Playing with baby toys, stim toys and other sensory toys
☆ Repeating words and phrases (often from favorite media)
♡ Doodling
☆ Using chewelry, pacifiers and teethers
♡ Listening to music (sometimes I'll listen to the same song on repeat)
☆ Playing with my hair (for example by twirling a lock of it around my finger)
♡ Spinning objects
I hope I could give you some stimming-inspiration ^-^
