Bruce "I got so overstimulated by Bats once that they literally become my mental image and identification of terror" Wayne: I got you a sensory deprivation tank

Tim "I lived alone for years and my idea of hell is understimulation" Drake: Bruce. I love you. And this is probably the nicest thing you have ever done for me. But also, no.

When you’ve been so conditioned to ignore your own needs that your automatic response to being under stimulated is to sit still and not do anything, like I need to move or do something but I can’t. At least if I’m overstimulated curling up in my room where it’s quiet and calm helps but under stimulation is just impossible to fix, if anyone has advice on helping under stimulation I’d love to hear it because this sucks 😐😣

When you say you accept and support autistics you have to support us at all time

when:

we're semi/nonverbal

when we need AACs

when we're having a meltdown

when we're having a shutdown

when we need help with hygiene

we are overstimulated

we are underestimated

we are unmasking

we act "more autistic"

we stim a lot

we have intense stims

we have a tone issues

we have low/fluctuating empathy

we vocal/verbal stim

we stim loudly

we don't understand something

we have a hard time relating

salutations good sir- Er- Turtle-! I’ve been fluctuating between over- and under-stimulated all week, unfortunately. I was curious as to whether or not you had any tips to accommodate/cope? On top of that, how the heck do I get these bees in my skin to stop. Stimming isn’t enough and I don’t have a weighted blanket >:(. I also share a room with someone, so it’s hard to get alone time or peace and quiet at all.

Greetings, apologies for not answering sooner. /g

Sharing (private) space with a person, especially when they aren't autistic, can be difficult because masking will become your best friend if you are able to mask. But masking is not good for your mental health so ! We try to not do that here.

Does the person know you are autistic? If not, would they be accepting if you told them? Usually, awareness is key - they do not have to understand why you need certain things, but they have to respect you.

If they do not respect you, you shouldn't share your private space with them.

I know the "bees in the skin" very well & a shower that cooks me alive is the only way to relieve it.

A weighted blanket is worth its money - there are also weighted pillows & plushies that are a bit cheaper than blankets. I'd definitely save up money for either.

Ice cubes can distract quite good as well.

The coping mechanism truly depends on what is causing the "bees".

As for over- & understimulation: make a list of stimulating things & soothing things to help in either of the two scenarios.

Create a plan, that way, you are prepared.

I made meltdown & shutdown plans, too.

They consist of a few questions with possible answers like - what am I feeling? What might that feeling tell me? Etcetera.

That way, I am able to check what I might need in times of distress without having to think too much about it. It takes work, but it pays off!

I just struggle to use those plans.

I hope I was able to provide input & you are always welcome to ask!

so understimulated right now I feel like a beast in a zoo from the 1880s. I'm pacing back and forth. I am clawing at the walls. I want to tear into things with my teeth. My body is on fire i am going insane

Hear me out. Three devices- computer, phone, gaming console. Computer playing a yt video/movie/show/podcast, phone playing music, console playing the game audio. One ear bud is connected to the computer on medium volume, another is connected to the console on slightly higher volume, then headphones over both of them connected to the phone at a lower volume. That way you have the ambiance of music, the engagement of the video, and the entertainment of the game all stimulating you at once.

Works wonders for understimulation

Today's theme is apparently "overwhelmed by how extremely under-stimulated I am"

yk those random days when you just feel void of any hyperfixations? Like...I can't bring myself to watch any of my favourite shows or read fanfic or anything. I'm not hyperfixating on anything and so I don't have anything to actually DO. Is this how neurotypicals feel? I hate it.
