Going back to interacting with allistics after solely talking to other autistic people feels like going back to your toxic boyfriend after dating a golden retriever boy

Imagine if I could use my autistic pattern recognition to save humanity from asteroids or something. Instead, my autistic special interests do not involve math, saving humanity or even asteroids (not anymore, that was the Gifted Toddler-to-annoying third grader Hyperlexia Space Epoch - 1992 to 1997 AD)

No, what my 34 year old, unemployed, AuDHD brain puts ✨special interest✨ on, you know what that is? It’s THE IMPLICATIONS of a (one, singular) yellow tulip in the back of a Bentley owned by a middle aged rocker with substance issues, after he thinks he got rejected by his crush who chose to rejoin the cult they both left because he got a fancy job there.

I could save the world, guys. WE could. And here we are, losing our minds over a flower only visible in one single shot.

So in my class our icebreaker was write a fun fact about yourself on a slip of paper and put in a bucket as she will draw it out and guess who

Simple right?

Well, I wrote that my favorite show is bobs burger

She pulled it out and forgot what bobs burger was and kinda fumbled around

And some people were laughing at the note like it was stupid

And it hurt my feelings cause that's my special interest, I know everything there is to know about it

And they laughed at it

It's been hours and I'm still upset

Edit:someone told me i can't just be upset that someone doesn't like the same stuff as me. It's not that, I'm upset cause they had to go and be hurtful about it. You don't have to like it, but you shouldn't be mean about it

There's something about how every time will graham gets a full face shot on the show and he says something so profoundly uncomfortable, blinks, slightly moves his head, and then walks out of frame that gets me every time.

Thinking about how the “don’t need labels” crowd doesn’t understand autism because my autism *needs* patterns to understand myself. Like I need a full and specific understanding of what autism can look like to see the ways it shows up in myself and to support myself.

I needed to learn what stimming is and that it can mean I’m bored or agitated (or content), I needed to learn that for as observant as I am in social situations I crucially lack the assumptions that make those situations easier, I needed to read, from many different stories, that mix of loneliness and content solitude that’s so often part of the autistic experience.

I process in a bottom-up way, a fundamental trait of autism, so of course I need a specific, detailed understanding of myself and how I relate to others.

Even in a perfect world where autism was neutrally accepted, I’d always need a word for it. I’d always need concepts to describe the patterns of how I’m (neutrally) different than other people—even if only to communicate and connect with them better.

I think that’s why it’s so important to me to claim “autism” and the language around it back from medical pathology. The community and the wisdom we can share with each other is so freeing and comforting—especially since what works for neurotypicals may not work for us. CBT and DBT are less effective for autistics, for example. And even as we gain nuance and peel apart experiences like alexithymia, which is more likely caused by trauma (including the abuse inherent in being autistic in an unaccommodating world), how we address alexithymia will be different for autistic people.

Autism then becomes an important aspect of therapies, because we understand that the therapies must necessarily be more specifically described, more self consistent, and must accommodate a range of opposite traits including hyper-and hypo-verbal, meltdowns and dissociation, etc.

Therefore even as pathologization diminishes, autism as a concept must remain, because we will always need a specific way of understanding ourselves in the world—or else we will continue to suffer harm that will drive us to find that concept again.

Me: I must be faking my autism

Also me: wow what a long day of socialising, I feel like I'm going to die if I don't crawl into bed with my Good Texture blanket and rhythmically rub my feet together while I read about this topic I'm "abnormally" interested in

#currently in bed with my childhood Good Texture Blanket against my face #as I rub my legs together like a cricket #because I had to pick outfits for this weekend trip we have coming up #funny #neurodivergent #neurodiverse #actually autism #actually autistic #autistic memes #just autism things #it's the autism #autist #audhd #social fatigue #this was actually about #decision fatigue

Sometimes I find myself thinking about Din Djarin a little too much that I get concerned and think that I really should go to therapy...

Well, I'm finally doing that (again) tomorrow... :)

Feeling pretty nervous about it but hoping that because I now know I'm autistic it will help me understand/explain things a little better! Hopefully this is the start of a journey to finally become a healthier, happier version of myself :)

#the waiting list was surprisingly short so i'm excited i just hope that they understand neurodivergency #because cbt doesn't work for my brain and i hope they don't try and force a square peg in a round hole so to speak #i want emdr eventually but i have to go through several stages first it seems and it sucks i wish i could afford private therapy #but i also just wish the nhs just fucking functioned lol #anyway that was a lot of acronyms but there we go #having ptsd sucks that's part of why i love din a lot because i can weirdly relate to him. also mando came into my life when i needed it #and as corny as it sounds knowing i can make some silly little gifs and write about the tin can helps regulate me after a draining events #so knowing i can do that whatever happens tomorrow is nice :) oR TODAY it's past midnight here what is a sleeping pattern #anyway once again i just really love din djarin but now no one can tell me to gO TO THERAPY ANYMORE BC OF IT ALSSNJSSK #personal #text post #just autism things

What if, after being cursed by God, Crowley’s default form is a serpent? Looking like a humanoid angel, like what Aziraphale knew him as, takes effort - and sometimes he just lets go and coils up somewhere warm, thinking of mice and having nightmares about eagles…

And he was perhaps always afraid that Aziraphale would feel some sort of disgust when he learned this (it was a curse by God, after all) but instead, Aziraphale reads up on herpetology and makes a nice, warm, dark corner in the bookshop where Crowley is allowed to make no effort at all?

If that isn’t some sort of analogy about unmasking and being accepted, I don’t know what is.

Anyone else ever just randomly get extremely grossed out by their human body, and also all organic material in general, and wish you could live as a smooth shiny android in a world made of obsidian and glass where everyone drinks water and mineral slurry and sits out in the sun to power and sustain their vital functions? No? Okay.
