I think the worst thing about being autistic is that you spend your entire life trying to understand other people but nobody takes the time to understand you

Autism and not knowing wtf you're feeling is real.

Am I hungry? I don't know until my blood sugar tanks.

Am I sad, or is my body just tired? They feel the same.

Am I excited or anxious? Can't tell. Gonna shit my pants over it anyway.

Energetic or manic? Won't know until it's over with and I take stock of wtf just happened.

Trying to be present and mindful is very hard when you not only have problems understanding other people but also yourself. Your brain is in this constant state of analyzing to figure out wtf is going on with you at any given moment, and its fucking annoying.

Lone Star by @definitionsfading

This is a small (30k words, 224 pages in A6 format) "X-rated Disney romance" that illustrates once more that I cannot be trusted to be even a little bit chill with design themes.

So, here we have: ⭐black suede cover; ⭐endpapers and cover inset painted by yours truly (the tiny blue star in the inset is actually metallic foil, but capturing its shine in photos is hard); ⭐drop caps with stars manually inserted into them, because ready-made fonts just Weren't Doing It for me; ⭐and fun emphasis for when Rust was saying particularly star-ry stuff; ⭐also featuring my first time doing a full title spread. All in all, I'm very happy with how this turned out ✨

Hi everyone,

I found an interesting article about autism and anxiety. As someone who has both, this very interesting. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

Most autistic children and adults experience symptoms of anxiety, even if they do not meet the clinical definition of a disorder. Just being different, not fitting in and knowing that things like talking and moving are harder for you than for others can generate anxiety. Research shows that not only unaddressed anxiety disorders but also unaddressed symptoms of anxiety in adolescents significantly increase the risk of anxiety and depressive disorders, bipolar and psychotic disorders, substance abuse and suicidal ideation in late adolescence and young adulthood.

The full article will be linked below in case anyone wants to read it.

Me: *Removes my cat from my lap to do something else.*

My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.

everyone reblogs this post but only the versions without the little lady who inspired it :/

YEAUGH

Preciso do momento livre no dia que me dê tempo e espaço suficiente para seguir os raio de criatividade que a maconha me dá.

Mas parece q só consigo ter boas ideias quando já estou executando uma tarefa, o que me faz perder o foco e me traz ansiedade pq é sempre assim. Começar a escrever foi assim, mas tbm pensei em fazer uma animação da meia espreguicando com a língua pra fora, que ela fez agora mas n gravei.

Talvez zero estímulo não me faz andar, qual é esse equilíbrio?

Tou tendo um dia relativamente normal hoje.

Não fiquei exatamente deprimida, levantei da cama cedo e apesar de ter demorado pra começar minhas merdas, e agora esteja escrevendo em vez de trabalhar, tá tudo dando certo.

Parece que eu tinha medo de achar pavorosa ente entediante ser funcional.

Adult autistic community in discord

So, I’ve been recently diagnosed as autistic (in 2021, at 27 yo), I’m since then in the process of unmasking, understanding and beeing more compassionate with myself.

I have some close friends, one also diagnosed like me and two that have neurodivergent traits, but since I know them since before the diagnoses it’s hard to talk to them about some aspects of the self discovery, I already have a “persona” of sorts.

I came here to ask you guys if there is some community in discord or something like that where fellow adult autistics hang out and share experiences and whatnot. The only ones I find are populated with mostly minors, and I don’t feel confortable hanging out with them because of the age difference.

Please give me a shout if you know where to find this place, I urge to stop feeling foreing.
