I just wanna add emotions. All in all it’s not a competition who has it worst, you deserve kindness, treatment and rest. No matter if you struggle mentally or physically, be kind to yourself!

I'm autistic and I currently feel like shit checklist
Hi there. Are you autistic? Do you currently feel like shit and don't know why? Try this checklist to see if you can Fix The Problem!
When was the last time you used the bathroom? If you answered "I don't know" or "at least 3 hours ago", go now!
Do you need a drink? Go get one if you don't have one in front of you.
When was the last time you ate? If you haven't eaten yet today, consider eating A Meal, or perhaps A Snack. Something is better than nothing, eat whatever you feel able to!
Is there something in your immediate surroundings that is bothering you? If the light is too bright, turn it off. If there is an annoying sound, make the sound stop or reduce your ability to hear it (earplugs, headphones, etc.). If your clothes are bothering you, change them.
Is your space messy? Pick one area of your room and clean it up as best you can. Clean your whole room if you have the energy!
When was the last time you did An Activity? Scrolling on social media doesn't count. Try actively doing something fun! Play a game you like, read a book, make something, or go for a walk.
When was the last time you Spoke to a Person? Consider talking to a person you like if it has been a while.
How long has it been since you did something Special Interest related? Make some time to do that today. Infodump to a friend, have a nice long research session, look at related images or gifs, make art about it, whatever works best for you!
Try stimming actively! Put on some music and dance, spin in circles, go to the park and use the swings!
If you still feel like shit after trying all of these things, you might be tired or sick. Go to bed early and get some rest. Hopefully you will feel better tomorrow!
Hope that helps :)
Great checklist! Thanks!
Not calling myself autistic, hiding my autism, it won't stop people from labeling me. I'll still be labeled, those labels will just be more inaccurate and probably insulting.
That’s what most people don’t understand. Why do you need a label? Because people have given me labels all my life and they weren’t friendly.
Hey, here’s a concept. What if we stopped saying “but autistic people CAN do all those things” (erasing high support needs) and instead started saying “not being able to do those things doesn’t impact someone’s value as a person nor does it make it okay to commit eugenics”.
Fr there are human rights for a reason and they should absolutely be followed and protected… even if someone is disabled… they are still human and no one besides themselves owns their body!
“You don’t know what pain is really like, once you get to my age—“ SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT THE FUCK UP OH MY GOD
People with their “others have it worse” shit… yeah of course there’s always someone who is fighting for their lives or can’t move but need a wheelchair etc. Doesn’t mean everyone else’s feelings shouldn’t be taken seriously.
People who ask for permission to hug before doing it are the coolest people around. A+ people 👍
Yes!
I've been hearing people complain that autism and ADD/ADHD being overdiagnosed for literal decades. They don't see to realize that the more we learn about something the better we get at recognizing it.
Agreed

Sharing this because it can be helpful for many people
My doctor and therapist: now with this autism + ADHD diagnosis you need to learn to unmask because masking all the time will make you burn out again and feel like shit
Other people: well it's just interesting how after getting the diagnosis you suddenly start behaving like that I mean I'm not saying you're faking it's just funny how you suddenly cannot be normal like you were before
People just don’t like someone being different. No matter if you were diagnosed as a child or as a teen or as an adult, unmasking in kindergarten/ school/ at work is impossible
What people don't seem to understand about hyperfixations is that they're more than just obsessions. For many of us it's a big source of serotonin. There are dangers of over indulging, but not having a hyperfixation, or completely cutting it out of my life definitely sends me into depression.
“You’ll find something else, it’s not the end of the world” no, medicine is how I understand the world, it’s what I live for since I’m on this planet besides my family. So please stop it.
I wish the people around me would've understood how much hormones can affect my ADHD symptoms. Some days, I just can't get any work done with how bad my brain fog gets and I feel like all I can do is ride it out (and try to be gentle with myself).
Real, after ovulation ‘til mid menstruation my meds act like “nah, take me or don’t, it doesn’t matter anyway”
Sorry for infodumping about my special interest out of nowhere, you said a keyword and it activated my unskippable dialogue

Can we stop using "still lives with their parents" or "unemployed" or "doesn't have a drivers license" or "didn't graduate high school" as an insult or evidence that someone is a bad person? Struggling with independence or meeting milestones is not a moral failing.
This!
