Hello everyone! Please tell me your current stims and hyperfixations! I just think it would be nice for everyone to share and possibly find someone who is similar to you! Have a wonderful day ❤️

I’m posting a lot tonight hahaha! Like I mentioned before, I was recently diagnosed with autism. So I wanna know what my fellow autistic followers deal with! I know some people with autism LOVE to be touched. Some do not. Some people talk a lot while some are a lot less verbal! So tell me what you’re like! Tell me funny stories you’ve had, tell me silly things you had to learn, tell me your habits, tell me your stims, tell me anything you’d like! I’ll tell you about me.

-I do not like to be touched very much. I don’t let my parents hug me. Not to say I don’t ever CRAVE it, but it’s hard for me to receive hugs and stuff. So I just don’t really show my love through physical affection. (Dating has been pretty difficult because of that hahha)

-I am a picky eater. I hate vegetables. I have too many stories about me gagging and throwing up to try some foods again in adulthood

-I don’t hyperfixate on certain topics as much as some other people might (which is fine), but currently I am very invested in Sanrio items! I bought a HUGE Pompompurin plush for $60, I bought a Hello Kitty stuffed animal along with Keroppi stickers from World Market, I have a Hello Kitty lunchbox, and a Hello Kitty strawberry coin purse. I want to add to my collection!

-I love the color pink. I wang everything in my life to be pink. My hair is pink, my walls are pink, my bedspread is pink, most of my outfits are pink....it fills me with SO MUCH serotonin I can’t stop thinking about it

-I do not have tons of stims. I don’t flap my arms or bounce up and down and stuff. Though, I do tap my fingers and I have a problem with syllables. I like to tap my fingers to beats of 5 and the beat must end on my thumb. Though my psychiatrist said that’s more of an OCD thing. It keeps me up at night honestly. So it doesn’t really make me feel much better, it’s more of a nuisance really.

-I do have a few funny stories where I misunderstand what people are trying to say to me, so if you want to hear about that then just let me know!

I hope this was helpful! Let me know more about you!

Hello! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while!

Thank you for being patient! School has kept me busy. I hope you had a good holiday break!

I have a slight rant that I’d like to talk about....it will be brief, but feel free to scroll

Do you ever get annoyed when people try to use their illnesses for clout....?? Or when people clearly have a made up mental disorder to seem popular??? As if making up a mental disorder makes you special and unique....? I don’t see the appeal or why people do that. Anyways rant over

SPD/Dyspraxia/Autism Question

(Btw sorry for the inactivity!)

-Do you believe that more research needs to be done on issues like SPD/Dyspraxia/Autism? Or do you think that we already know enough?

Quick Rant!

I’m trying to get a job. It sucks to wear really professional clothes, because my sensory processing just HATES it.

Mom wants me to work on homework but won't let me change the conditions I'm working in

So the last few days have been really fucking exhausting.

Mostly because of the Kingfield Days festival. Basically, the town pulls this gigantic block party with a live band, food carts, and a ton of other shit every July. Being a sensational, anxious person, this is the most stressful time of the year for me. It is four days of constant sensory overload, anxiety, and next to no sleep.

But it's also made me realize just how much I really fucking hate my life. As well as how oppressive my parents have been. And how much I need a change. Straw, meet this nice camel's back.

I'm done sitting quietly while the world shits on me. I'm done being passive and meek. I'm done hiding from the world. It's time to start spitting some venom and earning some independence.

First step: learn knitting.
