Them: “What are you so anxious about?”
Me: *waves my hand at the world in general*
Parts of The Autistic Experience ™ That Sound Like Shitposts
- That specific noise hurts me.
- Touching that fabric makes me want to fold into myself like an accordion to escape the Bad Texture.
- I watched one (1) TV show, and now it consumes every waking moment of my life.
- If I don’t do these things in this exact order, then I will probably die.
- As a kid, my classmates treated me like a toddler even though I got better grades than them.
- I have just learned some fascinating facts about something that about three people worldwide care about, but I will explode If I don’t share them with you this very instant.
- My handwriting looks like it belongs to a six-year-old that was given too much Nyquil.
- My hands have minds of their own and do The Thing when I have An Emotion.
- That awkward moment when you accidentally steal a personality trait from someone else.

yall with adhd or autism or such ever just get…. bored. like so Painfully bored. like its not “oh hehe i was so bored and i made this” to flex or “oh im so bored bc i have nothing to do” but like a “i am physically incapable of ending this horrible understimulation with any activity i might attempt” and its genuinely fucking painful
this is my fucking life right here. i need mental stimulation constantly. i’m always switching from tab to tab, and when there’s nothing new happening i feel like i’m going crazy. unfortunately i have no irl hobbies to help with it which sucks.
i get really irritable and angry when i’m bored, and sometimes when it’s really bad i feel self destructive.
my mom says she’s not a hugger. but when i put my arms around her on a gloomy day or after bad news she’s the last to let go.
my dad says he doesn’t want gifts on his birthday, but i see the way his face light up when i get him a card with a nice message and a box full of chocolate anyway. he’s just a kid inside, still. it makes him giddy.
my brother never says i love you. but when i tell him “i just need to finish the dishes before i vacuum!” he wordlessly goes to vacuum the entire house before i can, and if he sees me struggle with a wrapper or a jar or a bottle he mutters ‘c’mere’ and opens it for me without even sparing me a glance.
the thing is, people love you quietly, and you love them quietly, and the air is buzzing with tiny but grand gestures & once you look for them, you find them everywhere. i think that’s really beautiful.

-Realizing that crying all the time does not mean you are empathic or good with emotions
-singing the same song over and over again because echolalia
-also saying words you know you aren’t supposed to because they feel nice in your mouth
-stimming by screaming and getting “wtf” looks from everyone around you
-watching the same show every day and sometimes the same episodes over and over in the same day
-having a meltdown because you can’t do The Thing the way you originally planned

“We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don’t even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets! It’s time to put an end to this. It’s time for us to let ourselves be loved.”— C. JoyBell C. (via perrfectly)
