#tw sib

[ieatratsyummy]

I need to interact with my special interests, but sometimes I have to force myself not to interact with certain aspects.

When I watch MHA, I get so excited that I have a lot of energy build up in my system. And for most autistic folks this might come out as hand flapping or jumping. For me it comes out as hitting myself and objects.

I haven't watched My Hero in a bit, because of this issue. I have tried jumping, I've tried spinning, I've tried pacing, I've tried flapping my hands. All of it I have tried.

One of the many aspects of being autistic I really really fucking hate.

(TW a type of soft restraint and SIB[self injurious behaviors])

Some color art of Annie, during their bipolar episode(post escape the hospital adventure) they engaged in impulsive SIB causing them into need stitches on their face and arm(which happened under anesthesia), along with bruising. Caine had Zooble wean them off actual restraints by first doing mitten type hand covers then weighted blanket wrapped around them.

I really like this AU and Annie because I can project onto them from my experiences being in the hospital and having a manic episode/recovering from one. In the third doodle they had to be given ‘stupid sauce’ so Caine could bandage up their SIB scratches. Sorry for angst art I will post some happy art soon 🥲

Gah Annie :(( 💔💔💔 I’m sorry they and I think you went thru that but your drawings do look super good!!! I like the staticy effect you added! :D you don’t have to apologize for sending angst art! If you can’t tell by my own art lol I like angst, I’m just not always sure what to say in response to it 😭 besides dang…that’s sad…WHICH SOUNDS SARCASTIC BUT I MEAN IT GENUINELY 😭😭😭

Making Severe Autism Visible

Two new projects show what significant impairment looks like.

PRIVACY VIOLATION, PRIVACY VIOLATION EVERYWHERE.

The poor young man biting himself? I highly doubt he gave permission for his vulnerable moment to be broadcast to the world.

Not to mention, ewww, functioning labels.

Edit: “Severely restricted interests”? WHUUUUUUT?

I am going to bed before I hurt myself. Good night. 

[grandenchanterfiona]

I want to hurt myself so bad right now. I can't deal with shit right now. Why is G-d testing me like this? I've been good. I've been a good person lately. As good as I can be. I don't know if this is the depression or if the depression is magnifying what I would be feeling otherwise. All I know is I want to hurt myself and I know that's a bad idea and I want it to stop.

I have a headcanon that Sam self-harmed when he was hallucinating Lucifer, because he started using the pain from the cut in his hand to ground him in reality, which I thought might escalate to self-harm in the show but didn't, so it's my headcanon. idk if this is relevant but yeah/

I have the same headcanon.
