Ah yes, the autistic experience of being more mature than your peers as a child/teen, and then less mature as an adult. The window of opportunity to relate is... not there

Anyone who makes hot cocoa with water instead of milk is a damn psychopath.
I get that it’s easier to make, but it tastes like shit that way. If you have the choice, make it with milk. (Unless you’re lactose intolerant or something, get some oat milk or another alternative if you can)
Also hi, I’m back. Probably won’t post much, but uh. Yeah. I’m here sometimes.

If anyone I tag doesn’t recognize who I am, just ask me in private messages. It’s most likely a roleplay blog you’ve interacted with before.
just because you personally don't relate to a character representing autism doesn't mean others cannot.
it's not "bad rep" if only higher functioning autistics relate, even if it's less common than low func. it's not "bad rep" if certain symptoms are not represented; it's a spectrum disorder for a reason. you do not get to invalidate someone's experience by calling certain rep "bad" simply because you do not relate; that makes you seem self centred.
it only becomes bad rep if nobody relates and its purpose is to misinform or mock—and if that's the case, then it's not rep. otherwise, just enjoy the media or don't indulge in it at all.
Neurodivergent Things Part 2
Neurodivergent Things
Does anyone else have trouble exfoliating?
Is the a me-tism?
Or is this an our-tism?
Cuz every time I do it - especially with a scrubby tool or cloth - I have to take breaks otherwise I get an intense wave of unease and nausea.
If I push myself through "just do your other arm you big baby" etc, my blood pressure drops. I even end up feeling myself start to get dizzy.
Does exfoliating overstimulate you?
omg, yes! 😭😤
?? no?? what the heck are you talking about??
realising the longer my autism goes without a proper supportive environment the less empathy i'm able to feel overall
I need this to go viral for the sake of everyone with ADHD / Autism / Neurodivergence
Do YOU chase dopamine by learning new things? Do you learn new skills and don't know why you want to do that but do it anyway?
well, I might have THE ANSWER for YOU!
There is a certain effect called the Eureka Moment. That moment when you FINALLY understand some topic that didn't seem impossible to learn, but out of reach for you to master at the moment.
This is a so-called Eureka Moment. The intensity of that moment rises, when you know less about a topic prior to the moment.
When learning a completely new skill, learning a new language, a new instrument, learning something about philosophy or science... all these things can trigger it in intense ways.
The journey of your life is like a puzzle. You build a personality, a life, an archive of knowledge and skills of sorts. And when learning a new ability or skill, you find singular pieces... they may fit into a 'sort of' shape... but the bigger picture is out of reach. Then one crucial moment, you learn a random thing that wasn't particularly grand or anything... and THAT puzzle piece brings everything together. The pieces literally fall into place.
And it's very likely that there's a bio-chemical reaction in your brain... which overloads your brain with dopamine... but that is exactly it.
Your brain is still chasing dopamine by learning new things... but what it really wants... is that Eureka explosion in your brain. It wants to be loaded to the brim with free flowing dopamine. Suddenly you feel unstoppable and ... you feel like all the work you did was worth it. At least I do now.
autism + hEDS is wild bc all I wanna do is flail around but then I do & throw my elbow out of place like actually
