Cool autistic feel when you're fascinated by sensory things and spend all day in the stars when you wear your softest clothes and listen to your audio stim songs over and over ✨

Since the Selfie Day is back as a Selfie Sunday, maybe I’m gonna upload something for the celebration! That one is a few months old but it’s either that or my crappy webcam :D

I’m Corentin (he/him - straight) and I’m 20. I’m a frenchy who his main hobbies are music making, drawing, LEGO building, video game playing, meme loving… Here are some links to my schtuff!

I’m in my last year of studies/apprenticeship and oh boi it’ll be tough to survive 9 more months!

Wow, it's been quite a while since we got an Autistic Selfie day! What happened?

Ah yeah I’m really sorry. Like basically I was already struggling to keep up with it because at the time I was taking 15 hours of classes, working basically full time at a bakery doing really intensive heavy-lifting running around type work,(which was upsetting my chronic joint pain) I was also the Vice President of my college’s GSA, I had just joined a sorority, and I held the second highest office in the state for a Masonic youth service organization.

I was the selfie mod on this blog as well as being a mod on like 2 other blogs. Then the main mod messaged me to say that he was leaving tumblr and left the blog to me and I couldn’t handle it all so I just dropped tumblr altogether and my life is slowly falling back into place and becoming manageable so I’m slowly starting to use tumblr again starting with my personal blog and now this blog, hopefully I can pick up using the others soonish. I do need help with it though so I’m taking mod applications. I have one person interested and I would ideally like at least one more.

And yeah I’m sorry I didn’t announce hiatus but honestly the main reason I didn’t is that I didn’t really decide to go on hiatus, it just sort of happened even though I tried for it not to but yeah I’m really sorry

Tl;dr I just had a lot going on sorry

Old selfie from May. I don’t usually look this well put together haha. I don’t like my first name, sorry about that. But I’m 24, afab, and use she/her or they/them pronouns. I’ve been self-diagnosed for about 6 years. My SI’s are Final Fantasy XIV, language, food and the food and diet industries and one other slightly problematic one that I don’t want to mention but just started its 20th season. Aside from being Autistic, I also have Sensory Processing Disorder, Auditory Processing Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, and Dermatophagia. I work in a cheese shop in upstate New York, and live with my SO, roommate, and 15 year old dog,

Hey it’s me, the mod of this blog. I thought I would join you guys this week since it’s the first selfie day in so long. My name is Kat and I use she/her pronouns. I started off as self diagnosed and now I’m professionally diagnosed. It’s been a long journey coming to terms of who I am as an autistic person and accepting myself and I hope I can run this blog to help you guys as much as it helped me before I became a mod. This is my kitten Khoshekh who I love very much. He is 12 weeks old now ❤️❤️❤️🐱 my main blog is @aspergirlie and I would love to talk to you guys, ily!

Hi! I’m Cayden and I use he/him pronouns. I’ve been self diagnosed as autistic for about a year but even as a kid I kinda thought I was even if I never acknowledged it. I’m trying to get a professional diagnosis for college accommodations but we’ll see. Anyway! I sent a picture of my cat Abby too because she’s amazing and CATS!!!

Also, I run the blog @autistic-infodump and anyone with special interests can come and infodump!

Hey everyone! Trying something new so the first Autistic Selfie Sunday today and it starts now. To participate, submit a selfie. Please no NSFW. You must be autistic to participate, self-diagnosis is completely valid. Remember to read the tags! Love you guys!

[coolautism]

Just passing to say that I run a studyblr ( study themed blog ) named theautisticcats, dedicated to autistic students. If anyone has interest, come check it out!

This sounds cool thanks!

Autistic Selfie Saturday will now become Autistic Selfie Sunday because of my work schedule and might become either once every two weeks or once a month instead of every week to help me manage it at least until I get some mods. There will be the first Autistic Selfie Sunday tomorrow and I will post when the next one will be after that when it comes around. Thank you guys for being so understanding with everything

MOD Post

I deleted almost everything everything in the askbox because I wasn't sure what would still be relevant anymore. I kept a couple of messages. One was a request to delete post with pictures of that person and I will do that as soon as I get on tumblr off mobile and the other was a blog recommendation for a studyblr blog for autistic people which sounds pretty cool so I'll see if the blog is still active. Some of the others seemed important but so much time has passed that everything has probably been resolved with it? But if you have a question that you sent and was never answered and isn't one of the two I just mentioned and you still are interested, please resend it (unless it was hatemail, don't bother resending that, it will only be deleted again). I'm really sorry for my absence and that I couldn't be there to handle everything while it mattered.

[coolautism]

Is this blog still being used?

Hopefully soon it will be! I’m very sorry. The main mod left and let me take control, because tumblr can cost a lot of spoons and he found that his life was less stressful without it. Unfortunately I had a similar experience and couldn’t really handle it and everything else going on in my life around the same time the blog was being handed over to me. I felt relief because I felt that if I didn’t keep up with my mod duties (which was just selfie saturday until I was given the entire blog) then because I was no longer supervised, I could get away with it. I was under a lot of stress but I should have announced a temporary hiatus. I’ve started to use my personal blog again and hopefully I’ll have enough energy to manage all of my side blogs too eventually (hopefully soon)

Hey! I've been wondering. I see the ''actuallyautistic'' tag everywhere, and it's often combined with asperger tags. Does the ''actuallyautistic'' tag also cover asperger's, as it's in the autism spectrum, or does the ''actuallyautistic'' tag only cover autism?

I believe it covers both, aspergers is an autism spectrum disorder and actually doesn’t exist as it’s own diagnosis anymore. It is a form of autism so the tag covers it too.
