If you think about it crafting such as knitting, sewing, crocheting and other crafts can be a form of stimming. As many craft activities involve repetitive movements. Lots of neurodivergent people often enjoy crafting.

My loops worked hard for their money last night. Some people who live near me were having a party and playing loud music. In the past neighbours parties have caused me to have meltdowns but whith my loops I can't hear the music at all. I am so thankful for them. Later in the night after the party there was a thunder storm and my dog was panting which like loud music is triggering to me but the loops cut the thunder and my dogs panting out. I slept pretty well last night with no meltdowns which is great.

Image Description:

There are two pale pink loop ear buds. I have edited the photo so they have eyes. One says "phew!! What a night!!" The other loop says "yeah I know!! First the neighbours were having a party than there was a thunder storm!!" End Description.

The sunflower lanyard means that the person wearing it has a hidden disability or medical condition. I wear my sunflower lanyard because I am Autistic and I have Agoraphobia. I have made an area where people can get the sunflower lanyard on my island. My maker code is MA-7663-0385-7852 if you want any of these designs.

Image Description:

My avatar is white with long dark brown hair and brown eyes. She is wearing a black beret on her head and a pink and teal hoodie. She is also wearing a green lanyard with yellow sunflowers on it.

Infront my avatar is a field sign that has a green background and has black text that says "HD Sunflower Friendly Island" on it there is also a sunflower on the sign. Beside the sign is a wooden crate with a picture of a sunflower with a green background on it. There is a sunflower lanyard on the ground next to the crate. End Description.

Hi folks.

Your comments on  my previous Tumblr post about Autistic facial expressions has really given me alot of food for thought. I have read all your comments and had a good think about them.

I thank you all for pointing out the mistake that I had made in believing that Autistic people didn't make facial expressions like the photo pictured of Music.

Every Autistic person is unique and I shouldn't put people into boxes and think that one thing is true for all Autistic people.

I apologise for any offense or hurt that my post has caused anybody especially referring to facial expressions like Musics as being strange.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to learn a new thing about Autism and the variations of Autistic people.

Yours Sincerely

The Autistic Agoraphobe.

Bluey is one of my special interest and has been for about four years now. I was excited to find out that Hammerbarn (Bunnings Warehouse) was selling the gnomes. So this morning my mum and I got up early and went down to our local Hammerbarn. I couldn't go into the store because of my Agoraphobia but I stood near my car and watched people coming in and out of thr store. I saw a boy wearing a Bluey tshirt and a lady wearing a Hammerbarn apron. I also saw a sign with Bluey on it. There were some people cooking sausages near the entrance of the store and I heard a man talking about the Hammerbarn Bluey episode.
