Auctober Day 1: Hyposensitivity

One of my major hyposensitivities is cold, so I wrote this little poem for today:

Shivers fast and chill slow

Angel of frost, glitter of snow

The weather winds between my teeth

As I see the cold I never know

Until my heart does reach it

Sidenote: I headcanon Orpheus from Hadestown, my current Hyperfixation and part of my special interest in musicals, as also hypersensitive to cold because he doesn’t sense a supposedly extreme storm in “Chant”!

Hello, rare disabled iamvanosexual here. I’m actually thinking of starting an only fans or something similar. If you think about it, I’m disabled. I’m in an autistic burnout, experience chronic fatigue, and can barely function and take care of myself right now. At the same time, I’m also someone with sensory processing disorder who is both hypersensitive and hyposensitive. This means that, since I am hyposensitive, I like stimulation; and also, because I’m hypersensitive, I am more sensitive than a neurotypical to stimulation.

I DOUBT I would become a full on p0rn star or s3x worker, however I feel like I could use only fans for my kink(s) and writing about my sexual fantasies as an iamvanosexual?

It’s so weird because I never considered that I would “become a sex worker on only fans”, however, as an aegosexual, the online experience provides a layer of dissociation that makes me feel comfortable. Additionally, I can block or ignore(I think ignore—I know I can block) people who trigger me, which is actually something that has made me hesitant to get an in real life job. 

May biggest concern is that I’m wondering if I will be able to keep up at it, especially if I start to find it boring, uninteresting, or repulsive. That’s why I think I should really think about my reasoning behind this (if I decide to do it) and make sure I do it for something that motivates and drives me, and not something superficial.

So, this account is becoming supportive of sex workers! And also supportive of whether or not people choose or can embrace their kinks, or do what they enjoy!

Another thing that’s concerning is that I’m very educated, and I’m also Agender, so I just feel like I’m going to be misgendered 🥴and I feel like I need to accept that. HOWEVER~ I do not know how only fans works so idk 🤷🏽.

When you wanna be cottagecore and garden and shit but your vision is hypersensitive to everything bright :(

You know you're touch starved/understimulated when a weighted blanket folded in half doesn't feel that heavy

Shoutout to my fellow autistics who are hyposensitive to things instead of / as well as being hypersensitive to stuff. Our sensory issues are just as valid, even though they’re talked about less.

anyone else who is autistic feel like they’re hyposensitive to vibrations sometimes? I am easily affected by loud, sudden or high-pitched noises like most people on the spectrum but every now and then I like to put on my huge noise-canceling headphones and listen to the most beat/bass-heavy music I like because the vibrations hitting my ears is like a kind of stim.
