Autism culture is constantly being frustrated as an autistic person of color because your adoptive mother (a white woman) loves you but she does not understand you and she thinks you are overreacting about certain things

autistic things™️ that i experience regularly:

are we friends or am i just perceiving you being nice to me as friendship

what is friendship. i don't know. friendship is lots of things, which makes it Confusing

It Is Too Hot and i Refuse to take off My Comfort Sweater

I have to Follow the Recipe to make this thing or it's Wrong. Oh No It's Wrong Anyways. i'm a Failure now

i have to infodump about this thing i really like Right Now but no one around me also likes or understands this thing so now i'm upset even though i know it's not they're fault

What do you Mean, "sharing space while doing things" (parallel play) isn't Quality Time

I Have to Explain This Thing That I'm Making a Joke about or somebody will Get Mad at Me (i mean probably not but Just To Be Safe I Will Explain Anyway)

What's a Romance (outside of books) (i am asexual and probably also aromantic). why do people want it so badly

The Light is too Loud and Bright at the Same Time. yes i Can Hear the Electricity coming from the light and now i'm Annoyed

There's nothing I hate more than just chilling in a room minding my own business and someone walks in and turns the lights on. If I with my astigmatism and my 30 something vision could see you and your glasses less self can too. Especially when you're the one coming into my room.

I’ve noticed something very weird and specific about me (and my sib), and I’m beginning to wonder if it’s some kind of vocal stim.

So, sometimes I (slightly randomly) do this thing where I’ll just start speaking in some random accent, mainly a British or Australian accent. I’m not saying they’re good accents or even close to accurate. Sometimes they aren’t accents I’ve ever even heard in my entire life. But for some reason, doing these accents gives me a similar sensation to any other types of stimming. It calms me down a lot to speak these kinds of ways. Sometimes it’s not even a British accent, it’s something else.

It’s 100% not involuntary (I’ll sometimes start speaking in an ‘accent’ without realizing it, but I can stop pretty easily), but it’s nonetheless slightly random.

I don’t do these to make fun of people (typically the accents are ones that I find pretty or nice) nor do I think that I’m good at accents (I almost always do this in private out of embarrassment), but I still do it.

It’s hard to explain, it’s just that....you know how a lot of vocal stims feel sometimes, particularly self soothing ones and ones that make you feel good? That’s how doing these random accents makes me feel. They feel similar to any other vocal stim.

So I’m starting to wonder if it might actually be some kind of weird vocal stim. Anyone have any suggestion/similar experiences?

I deeply want someone to hold me and somebody that I can send all kinds of cute things to somebody who I can support in their autistic struggles and who can support me in mine. somebody who understands what is like somebody who I can feel comfortable touching and be touched by. somebody who I can completely let down my guard and totally unmask in the presence of. somebody who doesn't need to talk to understand who can just sit in silence and vibe together. somebody that won't have to let me down when all of my feelings spill out. somebody who I can talk to and not worry about what I say or how badly I say it. I just want to feel needed and cared about in the best possible way.

When I tried to confide in my ex that I thought I was autistic he immediately shot me down cause there was no way I was autistic when in reality he didn’t want to believe that he was dating an autistic person and ever since I got diagnosed that was something that worried me that I would have a hard time finding someone who would be okay with me being autistic and o just told the new person I’m talking to and his response was just “oh okay cool” and literally nothing changed and just :)

I just have to say. I you believe  vaccine ‘causes’ autism. Please don’t interact with my blog. And I don’t believe their needs to be a ‘cure’ for autism.

So please don’t interact with my blog if you are not respectful about anyone. And that you are negative about autism.

Thanks for reading.🤍😊🌸

having angry attacks as an adult autistic who only found out i am autistic already as an adult is so... weird. i'd have these anger attacks before in the shower, yelling on pillows and punching walls (sometimes i'd punch myself) and then, after i was calmer and able to process what happened, i'd feel so ashamed. new tears would rise because i acted "childish" and like a "crazy person" because who in their right mind would hit their own head? would punch concrete walls until their knuckles got purple? would freak out over a change that everyone seemed to deal so well with?

but now, while i still have those and i still have a hard time not hurting myself because it feels as if it's the only way to release part of that burst of uncontrollable anger, i 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 why i react this way. there's no grand shame looming over my shoulders when the tiredness comes, i don't feel stupid or childish or crazy i just... take a deep breath and drink some water and try to find peace again. it's not easy, but at least i know a part of me that i always used to hate. i don't hate it anymore, it's just annoying, but i can accept me better now. it's getting better somehow.

I hope at least my brother gets his diagnosis. His ADHD/Autism is as obvious as my own except he's actively struggling in school.

It makes me think of the obvious bias and favoritism that teachers had for me that prevented me from getting my own diagnosis. (I still don't understand why teachers liked me sm. Word of me passed on through school. Idk what they saw.) Was I disruptive and inattentive at school? Yes. Very much so. Did I ever get a grade below a B? No.

It's crazy how life works.
