People always have their "mind palace"

I have a mind thats my sanctuary to where I escape from the cruel world

Why have it be one tall building when it can be gardens, waterfalls, streams, clouds, flowers, any season you choose depending on how you feel inside.

30 Days Of Autism Acceptance 2019: April 15th!

Since it’s day 15 of @autie-jake’s tag and it’s a free day to talk about anything, I’m going to list 15 reasons why I love being autistic!

1. I love being different from the people around me, it’s made me realize that being different is a good thing.

2. I love my stims!! I get so much joy and happiness from stimming and it’s the most amazing feeling!

3. I love being apart of such a wonderful, kind, understanding and accepting community!

4. I love the way my brain thinks and processes things. I have a very logical way of thinking which can be super beneficial.

5. I love having those Good Sensory Feels™

6. I love being able to connect with animals in a way most neurotypicals can’t. I can relate to animals more than I can humans.

7. I love having special interests!! Life wouldn’t be the same without them!!

8. I love having samefoods that bring me comfort and happiness!

9. I love hiding under blankets, cuddling my stuffed animals and stimming to all my favourite songs.

10. I love being able to daydream for hours on end, creating amazing adventures in my head.

11. I love how honest and literal I am. People can always rely on me to tell the truth.

12. I love being able to focus so intensely on things. When I start something I do it to the best of my ability and always have to finish it.

13. I love my attention to detail and my ability to notice the little things in life that most people miss.

14. I love having such a strong desire to learn new things. Filling my brain with random knowledge and facts is something I really enjoy!!

15. I love not “fitting in”. I don’t feel the need to adhere to social norms/rules, I enjoy being different and I love my unique outlook on life!

something im working on learning for myself that i think all disabled people should know too:

it is not bad to need your accommodations.

it is not bad to depend on accommodations.

if you need the help, you need the help.

never not use/not get accommodations for fear that you'll become "too dependent" on them.

you shouldn't have to push yourself that far.

I was abt to ask if any other autistic folks don't physically stim w their hands or bouncing their feet but then I started scratch my scalp on the back of my neck and remembered that I have it all hurt bc I scratch it too much.

Hey just wanna check something, is it okay (as an allistic person) that I'm reblogging and liking your posts, even the "y'know that relatable autistic feeling when..." ones? I won't take offence or anything if you say you're not comfortable with it!

Hiya, I have no problem with you interacting with posts that you relate to. I would however say that if you’re finding yourself relating to a lot of “autistic feels” posts and autistic experiences then that’s something you should look into. There’s a chance you could be autistic.
