Where did you find out that Ienzo has no memories prior to coming to Radiant Garden?

It’s in his story from Kingdom Hearts Series Character Files released by Square Enix  https://www.kh13.com/news/ansem-the-wises-story-ienzos-story-and-vexens-story-kingdom-hearts-series-character-files-translations-r3285/

Autism sometimes makes you feel like you're not supposed to exist here.

Not in a "i wish i was never born" way, but in a

"i feel like the protagonist in a YA novel where I'm distinctly not like everyone else and I question things no one else seems to question and then one day I find a group of similar rogues and they tell me I'm actually a mutant or vampire or something" way, except instead of fire powers or super speed, I just hyperfixate on things until I seem like a genius and then nap for four days.

Sounds like a character I would love to see in a show

A Quality Stim™: lying on your stomach with your feet in the air behind you and hitting the inside of you feet together repeatedly

[softpxls]

friendly reminder that stimming is not an aesthetic it is vastly important for sensory processing and integration, for calming, for feeling emotions……..

it is necessary and beautiful in all of its forms and shouldn’t be minimized

Tips/reminders for when you feel you are getting closer to having a meltdown

Remove everything that could potentially harm you. Take off any jewelery, head accessories, put down sharp objects.

Try to exit the place you are now in. Go to another room, bathroom, outside. Try to find somewhere quiet and safe with as much personal space as you can. You can use migraines, stomach ache or nausea as an excuse. If you can't do that, get as comfortable as you can and inform someone who knows about your meltdowns.

Sit or lay down and try to relax. You can cover your eyes and ears or put on sunglasses and earplugs.

Calm your breathing. The most important thing is that you're not hyperventilating. Try to inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds and exhale for 8 seconds, or use this gif.

Stim, with your body or using tools- get it all out. Make sure you won't harm yourself or others.

Distract yourself- play some mobile games, try to remember as much as you can about your special interest/s (if you have any), listen to music or asmr, watch stim gifs, count (from 100 to 1 or things around you, such as black cars passing by), try grounding techniques (link to one of my faves), etc. There is also an app called Clear Fear dedicated to this.

If by now you're feeling a little bit better, try to find a source of your feelings. Identifying your problem can make it less overwhelming or easier to understand. You can answer those questions:

What am I physically feeling? (fast heartbeat/nausea/chest ache/etc)

What am I feeling emotionally? (anger/ anxiety/self loathing/shame/etc)

What happend before I started feeling this way?

How did the thing that happend made me feel? (out of control/like I'm treated unfair or illogical/scared/overwhelmed/etc)

Is there anything I can do to change that?

Do I plan on doing something about it? If yes, when?

Give yourself time- rushing to get back to your normal day can make everything worse. It's normal for neurodivergent people to have trouble with changes, so don't beat yourself up about it. Remember to take care of your body- get a snack and a drink, rest or do something that makes you happier (watching a movie you love, playing with kinetic sand, taking a nap underneath a weighted blanket). If you're too hot or cold change your clothes or take a shower. Take care of any wounds if you injured yourself.

That's so cool!

[honeycocopuffs]

Um!! Hi!!! I'm bee and uh,,,,here are my stim toys that I think are really neato! (Please don't mind my mousepad! It's super messy because I paint on my desk 🥺)

First up are these little spikey guys Coco had given me in a care package!! They are good to hold, and rub my thumb against! I use them when I wanna go to the store, or when I'm in a zoom meeting.

Local goblin man likes galaxies and infinity cubes! This is probably my favorite stim toy! It's so smooth, and really really really fun to mess with. I use this one the most when I'm just sitting around or drawing.

Homemade stim toys are good for the soul!!!! My mom actually made two of them, the rest I made for myself!! These are just fun to rub against the palm of my hand, or to shake aggressively to get that snazzy sound.

Water wiggler I found at five below! It's my favorite color!!! Favorite texture/feeling!!! It's so wonderful, and I would most recommend getting it if you like this kinda stuff! ❤️❤️

Ah yes, my tangle who is appropriately named Bob Ross!! I love this little fella so so so much!!! It's my favorite stim toy hands down!!! I keep it this little mint box because I like the sound of opening and closing it! I don't remember where I got it exactly, but it's really really fun to shake around!

Empty thingy of chapstick I mess around with. Plus actual chapstick!! I really love the feeling of doing the little pop thing with my lips after putting some on! Plus the scent and feeling of them are better than most I have gotten in the past! (This is just me though!! The EOS does get a bit grainy after time, and the coca cola one has a funky tacky texture)

And lastly!! This is kimchi the sloth!! He is most definitely a comfort item and one of my favorite stim toys. Coco also gave me this little fella and I carry him almost everywhere! His fur is so soft, and really light!

I already have passed the amount of images I can put on here! But some honorable mentions are these glitter water bottles I made. My bat chewie (stimtasic ILY❤️❤️❤️) Coco got me. Some keychain squishmallows, and my scented Eevee plush!)

[justmynvldthings]

I really love your stim toys. I also always feel happy to see others their comfort item/plushie. Since I still feel pretty insecure about it and things like this remindes me that for us it's normal ^_^

When you meet someone with the same disorder that understands you.

[lesbianbrucewayne-deactivated20]

just some autism things: 

don’t say “yeah but you’re high functioning”

don’t use functioning labels period

aspergers is still autism

not all autistic people are savants

our facial expressions (or lack their of) are not always indicative of how we’re feeling

autism doesn’t just “happen in boys”

the autism spectrum DOES NOT range from most autistic to least autistic, it’s just variations in challenges and strengths for each autistic individual

you 100% deserved to get punched in the mouth for using autism as an insult

it is never your place to tell someone how they should feel about their autism whether it’s good or bad

vaccinations do not cause autism, if you’re afraid of having an autistic child you just shouldn’t have children

autism is different for each individual too

never compare two autistic people because no two autistic people are the same

AUTISM DOES NOT MAGICALLY GO AWAY AT 18, AUTISTIC ADULTS EXIST

special interests are the bomb dot com

stimming should always be encouraged unless it is harmful to the person or to someone else, even then, redirect them to a different, harmless stim

The road i took that got me here today

Before high school

Got almost killed a couple times when I was young (my mom blamed me when a other kid tried to drown me)

Got bullied till high school

Parents kept fighting every day

Me being the one taking care of them despite the fact I'm the youngest in the house

But never getting reassurance when I needed it

Dad with a alchol addiction

Got mentally abused by my dad

Cops showing up at our house because dad hit mom (this happened more then once)

Discovered I had nvld

Having to chance schools because my nvld

Dad left when I was 11

Mom starting to fysicly and mentally abuse me

In high school

Was forced to have visits with my dad

Because of the stress and fear having to see him i got health issues

Doctor stepped in and said for my health that I wasn't aloud to visit him anymore

Had to follow a special diet to get my health better

Depression entered the chat

Fighting against self harm and suicide thoughts (I won)

A year where I was getting a lot sick

Pearlised dreaming

Pneumonia

Panic attacks entered the chat

Hyperventilating entered the chat

Eating problems entered the chat

Lost a lot of weight (I started to see my ribs)

Me getting enough of it and wanting to function as a normal being again

Starting to get help

Going to a psychologist

Going to a panic center

Slowly eating more

Starting to exercise

Mom starting to improve herself

Mom stopping abusing me

Teacher who discriminated me because my nvld

Me and my mom going to the head of the school with evedance to fight for justice

Getting my first diplom

After highschool

Continuing studying

Got proper help by school for my nvld

Nvld seems to get worse (the social part and getting less spoons)

Getting my second diploma

Started my major of 3D artist

Dad refusing to pay for collage because I "should be working since I have a diploma. " and I'm "not playing the daughter roll"( even though I'm clearly not emotionaly ready yet for a job)

Dad starting a suitcase because off this

Having money problems because of this

Nvld getting worse

Started to stimm way more

Having a lot of stress

Emotional drained

[justmynvldthings]

I remember when I was young I always had these feelings

That I would die young and never grow old

That I just wanted to run away far from the place I was from

Wanted to screem for help, but never got saved

Now I'm 21 and still standing

I've been true a lot

Been to hell and back

Sometimes it seems I'm still stuck

I still don't think I deserve to be loved

Anxiety taking over more and more as the days go on

Still hoping for a little bit of light

For someone holding me tight

Saying everything will be alright

That they will love me beyond all that is know

But I guess that will never happen

Maybe it's my own fault

Perhaps it's because I'm pushing people away because I'm scared

Scared to get hurt once again.

At times like these I just wanna give up.

My heart heavy as can be

For it is all becoming to much.

All I ever wanted was for someone to hold me

Someone I loved.
