Welcome to Cassiopeia’s Collective

Hi, We're Cassiopeia’s Collective

We are a Black Minimally Verbal Autistic Polyfragmented system that is focused on healing and improving our communication between headmates. We are slowly uncovering more and more information about ourselves as the days pass by. PLEASE be kind to us!! We don’t like using ownership language in our system such as “alter” as many of us feel as if those terms are dehumanizing.

First and foremost, we are TRAUMATIZED individuals so please treat us with respect and kindness that we would afford you. We are humans and we oftentimes make mistakes! In communication with us tone tags are appreciated!

About Us

We have a handful of comorbidities of physical and mental health nature, Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, POTS, and Epilepsy. (We don’t feel comfortable listing everything for the Internet as it’s private information!) We are Neurodivergent and do oftentimes need tone tags, please don’t hesitate to use that when in communication with any of us! This blog is an outlet for us to discuss and share the thoughts, ideas, feelings and experiences that we all have and have a safe space to do so.

Our body age is in the mid twenties so we will be discussing topics of an adult nature so minors please don’t interact with us.

Some of us have NPD, please be aware of that when interacting with this blog! Thanks!

We identify as Nonbinary Asexual and are married to our partner!

Collective pronouns are they/them or you can just refer to us as the Frogs or Froggy Crew.

We will probably tag posts that made the post but other times they may forget.

Please, keep looking. Not for a person, but for your passion, your love, your courage, your goals, your dreams, your happiness, yourself. Keep looking. Explore yourself before you explore another. Know your worth, know yourself. Only then will you know what you need over what you want. You need yourself to become your own.

It’s so funny and ironic when you get to a stage of depression when even people saying hurtful, mean things doesn’t phase you anymore because you honestly don’t have any recourse to care or acknowledge comments because you’re hanging on by a hair follicle or the strength of McDonald’s sprite to keep breathing earth side so what does any one human beings comments to us will phase us😂😂

idk what young person on the internet needs to hear this but you are not obligated to share any personal details about yourself online. in fact im gonna straight-up circle back to 00s era advice and say being anonymous is good actually

Sometimes we wish this world was not so focused on being hyperverbal and “outgoing” which to us which is just better at masking your neurodivergence

We’re already trying to figure out being super exhausted and struggling to mask while in the working environment, it’s already you are watching a movie that’s supposed to be in color and you know it is cause you have seen it 100 times before but it’s all grayed out and you don’t know how or why but you’re in the movie production, trying to make it colorful again 😵‍💫

We’re semi-verbal most of the time

No we’re not “shy”

No we don’t have an “attitude”

No we don’t have an issue with you or anyone else

No, we are not interested in talking more if we could help

Sometimes people just have neurotypes that are different from others

Sometimes people are simply different

Sometimes people just don’t always want to talk or be put on the spot in social situations

Working a 9-5 job has made us realize quickly.

Also why is that when we food, water and use bathroom, brain doesn’t do brain things like output information, it just kinda sits there like a turtle finally being let out of thier enclosure 🤭😅😅😤😤😭😭

6 Ways I Unmasked my Autistic Traits

Just wanted to note that everyone has different experiences and different ways of unmasking and these are just some of the ways people unmask and are personal to Lou themselves. If you resonate with these, that’s okay! Just note that everyone unmasks themselves in various ways. Not just these traits.

Pov it’s getting late and you’re always staying up hours later than you mean to so you say these with me:

My day is over whenever I decide.

I am choosing peace over punishment

I am choosing seeds of self-care, -love, and -discipline, over self-abandonment.

I am making better, stronger choices every day—and it shows

I survived another day and my body and mind deserve rest, no matter what it takes.

It can be difficult, but I am still doing everything I can to make that happen.

I am showing up for myself right now by taking deep breaths

[inhale for four/exhale for six, x3]

I have done enough today.

Some days I will do more, some days I will do less. But today, it was enough.

I am ready (or almost ready) to go to bed and get some good, well-deserved rest.

Recovering from autistic burnout as a high-masking adult:

To recover, you literally need to manually learn skills that most people learn as a toddler

You need to learn what makes your body uncomfortable, and what to do to fix it

If you are high-masking, that usually means that you have learned to ignore every distress signal your body sends unless it is a distress signal that a neurotypical person would recognize. People have likely been unintentionally gaslighting you about your lived experience your entire life

If you feel bad or panicked for no reason, stop and try to pay attention to your body. Are you tense? You are likely feeling physical pain somewhere. If you've been gaslit about your pain your entire life, you might not be able to identify it.

Go through a sensory checklist.

SIGHT: Try closing and covering your eyes. If this gives you relief, the lights are probably too bright. You may also need differently-colored lights

SOUND: Cover your ears. Does this give you relief? If so, you may need earplugs or noise canceling headphones. You may also benefit from a neutral or pleasant background noise, like soft music or brown noise.

TOUCH: Are your clothes uncomfortable? Your chair? Your body? Do you feel greasy, like you need a shower? Do you need softer, sensory-friendly clothing?

TASTE: Do you need to brush your teeth or tongue? Would chewing on something help?

SMELL: Is there a strong or unpleasant smell in the room? Do you need to clean or empty a trash can? Would an air purifier help? Would a pleasant smell like a candle help?

INTEROCEPTION: Are you hungry? Thirsty? Tired? How is your posture? Are any of your muscles tight or sore? Scan your body slowly from head to feet, tensing and loosening each group of muscles. Going for a walk or doing a series of quick stretches may help a lot.

Learning how to do this stuff is not intuitive, if you've had an entire lifetime of gaslighting telling you that everything hurting you isn't a big deal and you're being dramatic over nothing.

This takes time, it takes work, it's not intuitive, and it's hard. Most people forget how hard it is, because they learned this as toddlers.

If you want to recover, you need to relearn your whole body. And get over your idea of "normal" and just wear the damn sunglasses and put on the headphones. If people stare, fuck em. You're disabled and they can deal with that.

This is extremely helpful!!

"screen time screen time screen time screeeeEEEEEEEE" before the smartphone, kids were so bored they'd play with explosives, vandalize local infrastructure and harass old people for entertainment.

fund libraries. fund makerspaces. fund youth sports. enable kids to actually go places without having to ask someone to drive them everywhere. excessive reliance on digital spaces is a symptom of having nothing else to do.

this idealistic self-optimised fully healed completely emotionally regulated and stable person with zero negative qualities or behaviours that people imagine you can become after a certain amount of healing or therapy literally doesn’t exist

insane that we aren't taught about sleep in school. like 75% of people in my country report poor sleep and we don't spend one biology class learning about it? here's what I've learnt from a variety of sleep courses:

your body does pretty much all it's physical rest and repair processes ('stage 4') in the first 4 hours of sleep, so if you've slept for four hours, congratulations the essentials of your physical health are taken care of

the part of the sleep cycle that takes care of your brain and mental health (REM) happens later in the night, hence why waking up too early makes you brain foggy, and why it's so helpful to train yourself to wake up about the same time every morning

we are evolved to wake up several times in the night; we don't usually remember it, but worry and fixation can make us more likely to remember these

sleep under the influence of alcohol is chemically altered and not effective no matter if it helps you sleep - it's fine to have a drunken night of course but don't use alcohol as a sleep aid to 'knock yourself out', being drunk unconscious is not sleep

the best thing you can do for your sleep is follow a routine; go to bed and wake up at the same time most days, and have a 'wind down' routine, preferably including writing down whatever's on your mind to clear it before sleep

for long-term sleep improvement, it's better to wake up at your planned time regardless of sleep quality than to get a full nights' sleep

missing a night of sleep is NOT the disaster certain scaremonger-y sleep 'experts' will tell you - 'slept debt' does NOT exist and you will recover from a missed night of sleep within a few days of normal sleep

meditation is the best alternative to sleep if you're either unable to sleep or feeling the urge to nap (napping is bad for sleep!) - guided ones can help you not to fall asleep, but literally just lying there with your eyes closed and thinking about something neutral is good

acceptance is the best way to alleviate insomnia; do something else, use meditation to supplement that rest, and accept that you aren't sleeping (often, ironically, this will cause you to fall asleep)

TL;DR: DON'T LISTEN TO THE FEARMONGERS! poor sleep isn't killing you it's okay to miss some sleep! just make sure you're resting when tired and trying to stick to a routine of night time rest

I don't think adult humans get enough cuddles and I am so serious.

You look at almost any other species of mammal and they give each other physical affection all the time, but for some reason we've decided that physical affection when you're an adult should be exclusively romantic and to want frequent physical affection from your friends or family is strange or sus or a sign you actually view them romantically, and this can't be good for us I don't think.

thing that pisses me off most about adhd advice from neurotypicals... the 'doing something for 30 days forms a habit.' bitch nothing in my life is a habit i would be ripping bong and jacking off all day if it was a matter of choice. never underestimate my ability to be super invested in something for like 2 weeks and then forget to do it one day and never go back to it

[whatthehellisthis-world]

Being autistic? You get discriminated against because you have the audacity to not follow social rules "correctly".

Being non-binary? You get dismissed and people thinking you're fake and it actually doesn't exist.

Being autistic AND non binary? Oh god, double whammy...
