Both my parents acknowledge that im probaby autistic. My dad finally acknowledged it when i was venting about my fears of trying to be fully indepenent. Bonus: when i gave examples of my communicative struggles, he gave me an idea thats literally scripting set to expert mode. ~kittenlover

I have a pair of pants a coworker gave me and the front pockets are false pockets so the zippers double as stim toys. I love the pants so much. ~kittenlover

That feel when your dogs cause sensory overload (theyre part beagle and Oma is especially bad for barking and yipping). ~kittenlover

I just learned the glass on vape tanks is replaceable the same day i learned i broke it in my most recent mini meltdown. But its an example of why meltdowns arent tantrums. I had a panic attack thinking id have to replace the entire tank. ~kittenlover

Echolalia realization: i do a version of the zoidberg "wooop woop" when i have to move out of the way for someone. (Zoidberg is a futurama character and his characteristic "running away" thing is to scuttle away sideways (hes a humanoid crab) and go "woooop woopwoopwoopwoopwoop" as he does.)

"You dont act autistic." Okay but you didnt see me walk up my basement steps in a literal velociraptor pose just now, instead of walking like a normal human. ~kittenlover

I adulted today. I went to work. Then after work, i cleaned, did laundry, went for a walk, shopped for my groceries, and showered. The only thing i didnt do today was cook. ~kittenlover
