Yesterday was bonfire night and me and my husband took our daughter to see the fireworks, she had such a good time, spent the whole display stimming to the fireworks, it was so nice to see her be unashamedly herself. Something i could never do. That was all ruined for me by two immature teenagers next to me commenting on her actions, minimocking her and complaining to each other that 'she needs to stop now its getting annoying'. Those comments hurt and i realised this probably wont be the last time. Had i not had social anxiety myself id have turned around and given them hell for it, i only hope they grow up and learn to be actual decent humans. Ruined my mood for the whole night.

Any other autistics have to watch their feet as they walk or else The Stumble™ will occur? Regardless of obstacles?

Or had to be told to swing their arms as they walk because they just let them hang by their sides? So they practiced swinging their arms which only felt stranger?

Asking for a friend.

I have to look down when im walking or i feel like im going to trip/fall.

Ive been restless all day, not knowing what to watch, not being able to settle on one thing for long, and so i started rewatching a tv show ive seen before and i have never felt more at peace. Enjoying my faves and playing with my goo ball fidget toy.

Wanna know whats even better? I have a shocking memory when it comes to tv shows and so everytime i rewatch a show its like im watching it for the first time all over again 😆 i know ive seen it and i know i loved it but i cannot remember all the details. I did the same with my rewatch of the gilmore girls and my husband was sat there like 'you act like youve never seen it even though youve watched it numerous times' ... leave me in my little corner to enjoy my inner peace thanks.

I keep forgetting this damn app exists.

Anyway, for what feels like the first time i finally got to infodump one of my interests, noone ever bothers with me or what i like, and i dont tend to just talk about my hobbies with anyone cause i dont feel anyone would even listen. So my friend saw one of my IG stories about going to see one ok rock in october and asked me about it... queue my brain going OMG ITS MY TIME TO SHINE and i dumped a load to her ig inbox 😂 sorry not sorry. Anyway, she now likes them and has made a whole ass playlist. Your welcome.
