autistic food math update: for lunch at work almost every day i bring a little grown-up lunchable pack and an apple. the lunchable pack has 6 pieces of cheese, 6 pieces of salami, and 6 little toasts. the apple slicer i have cuts apples into 8 slices. so every morning when i cut my apple, i eat 2 slices while packing it up so that my lunch has the proper ratio so i can do little sandwich, apple, little sandwich, apple, etc and not feel like there was either too much or too little apple to balance the little sandwiches. every morning i do this because that's why!!

i think of myself as becoming “more autistic” since receiving my diagnosis and while this is obviously inaccurate for a range of reasons (see: ive just started noticing my own symptoms more & become more comfortable unmasking) there is something to be said about the fact that leaving high school has caused my ability to pick up on social cues to drop (“more autistic”). it’s almost like that was a learnt skill that i needed to know because i was constantly socialising with people and not something that comes naturally hmmmm

If I ever say “autism is my superpower” please know I don’t mean it in the suburban mom puzzle piece bumper sticker way. I mean it in the fact that I started using a trampoline as a stimming tool last summer and now I have the endurance of a camel and calf muscles that could stop a train.

People Hangover: A phrase that I just created. Describes the day after a day you had to interact with too many people, and you’re on the spectrum. You feel like you’re hungover but didn’t touch alcohol at all.

Ok this may sound strange but can any other autistics/people with spd relate? I’ll be wearing a sweater/shirt with absolutely no tags on it and I will just get so bothered all of a sudden like feeling the sharp itch of a tag and I’ll look for it and there’s just? Nothing there? I call it phantom tag but it’s so annoying and I have no clue what this is. Maybe I’m feeling like this small fibre in the seam?? Anyway-
