undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal

This is called a fault tree. You will always know how to act if your fault tree captures all possible scenarios. In NASA Mission Control during mission critical events like landings there are huge binders with fault tree protocols, kind of like choose your own adventure books except you’re not the one making the choices, the universe is making them for you and you’re just trying to keep up.

The engineers who develop fault trees, I am told, often imagine new ways for their precious spacecraft to die (new branches on the fault trees) either while in the shower or lying awake at 3am, because human

Was just thinking about this the other day. Yeah I have a favorite seat on the bus (middle of the bus, near the back doors, slightly elevated, facing forward), but I don’t get upset if someone is already sitting there, I just pick one of my other favorite spots. Then I realized that most people probably don’t have a favorite bus seat, let alone a series of backup favorites.

Bad Bitches Have Bad Days Too

[natalieironside]

Due to my weird childhood and my weird brain, I have this very unhelpful compulsion to conceal Everything I do from Everyone. I Cannot be observed performing any action, no matter how mundane. My nervous system is convinced I'm gonna, like, Get In Trouble for eating food at dinnertime or sleeping in my bed at bedtime.

I've taken to asking myself, "Okay does this task actually require subterfuge or am I stealing a balloon on Free Balloon Day"

Black autistics, is “I REMEMBER YOU WAS CONFLICTED” a vocal stim for yall

[eggnooodlez]

Does any other autistic person (no matter ur race) get super hyperfixated on their own culture, or the other culture(s) they grew up with?

For me, it's both. I grew up with many at once- *MASSIVE VINE BOOM*

Stimming can look so varied and so wonderfully and uniquely Black.

From picking your afro because the motion is soothing, to twerking and playing with your braids, to repeating that one itch-scratching line in the rap song you love over and over again…

It’s the way that you put on lipgloss even though you just put it on three minutes ago because the motion is soothing. It’s the smell and motion of lathering yourself in lotion and body butter, the weight and sound of your jewelry clinking against each other, the rubbing of your waist beads against your hips and stomach, even between your fingers. It’s even throwing up gang signs when you’re alone.

You stim, and you may not even notice it because nothing listed reminds you of how white people stim… and haven’t they set the path? The trend?

You are autistic, and you are Black, and those two things are not at odds. You don’t have to choose one or the other. It is a glorious feeling to embrace cultural stims, so the next time you twirl your braids or fidget with your waistbeads or even find yourself twerking in the kitchen while you cook, I hope you know all the autistic Black ancestors and people out here roaming the world right now are doing it with you.

as an autistic black person (who's mixed with quite a few things) it's very scary how people react to people who stim.. specially black people who stim.. and it can be dangerous at times.. I should probably make something based off this.. but we need to be in a world we're stimming is normalized and not stared at.. or attacked for (physically or verbally). or shamed. or even seen as being erratic or mentally unwell. something like things like dancing is seen as a normal stim so a lot of people stim through dancing, that are black to cope with this and it's just hard.. so many autistics being hurt, arrested or killed for having a meltdown.. we have trauma from the medical mental health system when it comes with being restrained and stuff.. it's scary to be autistic and black. we stim a lot and have people think it is scary for us not being able to mask well. being autistic and black is scary.. sorry for the ramble idk.. everyone's should be able to stim safely. it's okay to stim.. it's okay.. - Strawberry
