Just wondering has anyone else tried Zentangling? It's a drawing style similar to destressing colouring books, I got given a book on a it and it's really Fun and calming. It basically uses simple repetitive patterns to create a larger picture and the end results are really cool! It also has really easy steps even if you're not a drawer. I found it helpful because it focuses on the small parts instead of the whole which I think is a common autistic trait. Hope this helps someone! - spectre

Im so trying hard to live in a NT world but i can feel myself crumbling. I wanna be independent and self sufficient but it makes me so tired and miserable to do what everyone else is doing. I feel like I'm lagging behind everyone else and I'm never going to live my life to the fullest. I feel like I submit to this blog a lot I'm sorry. I just don't have a space to vent abt my problems where ppl will understand. Thanks for listening - spectre

When ur exec dyfunction makes makes it so ur always late to meet people but ur need for plans/structure makes it so u hate it when they do it to u and of course being socially obtuse u dont even realise the hypocrisy of it all - spectre

mfw i want to apply for government PIP payments (UK) but i realised im not actually diagnosed and then i feel guilty for feeling like i even need them.. i work full time but the only thing is i have no way to prove how difficult it makes the rest of my life, like being able to wash and keep healthy, to cook actual food, to keep on top of laundry/cleaning, to interact with people outside of work when i have no spoons, to take my dog out and more but things arent that bad right? - spectre

When ur coworker asks u to stay behind after ur shift to give u a late bday present but ends up taking two hours and it makes u upset and stressed bc u had plans to go home and eat mac and cheese and watch a film and now its all different but u dont wanna be rude and ungrateful and u go home feeling sad and tired even tho they gave u lovely things in the end - spectre

Tfw someone eating the food u were saving leads to the spilling over of being in like a weeks worth of spoon debt and having a meltdown - spectre

When u listen to ppl at work laugh about an autistic guy that started crying at the bar and thinking oh god is this what people will think of me if I tell them im autistic?? - Spectre

When u start to have a crush on some1 (rare occourance) but ur friend swoops in and hits on him but nobody knows u felt like that and he wouldnt reciprocate anyway and its probably going to fade away but u still feel undermined and disappointed - spectre

Not sure this is an autism thing
