| neuroticboyfriend: any other autistics (and others with sensory issues) feel Bad if their clothes dont Match Perfectly? like you need the textures to match, the blacks to be the same, the color palette to be aesthetically pleasing, the formality to match, etc. etc. it literally makes me upset and distressed if my clothes Dont Match to me, even if they match to others. it’s like being in a messy room except you’re wearing it so it Follows You.
bpd-hoardic: autistic-af: “Not everything is about your autism.” Actually it is. My autism effects: - How I see the world, including light sensitivity
- How I interact with the world, including difficulties with social interaction, speech difficulties and processing disorders
- How I feel the world around me, including hyposensitivity or hypersensitivity to temperature, pain, or stimuli as well as proprioception which can make it difficult for me to physically navigate the world
- How I feel my body, including interoception which can lead to missed meals, dehydration, and even urinary urgency (which is a problem just by itself) because I don’t notice the signals my body gives
- How I relate to those around me, due to my alexithymia, so often I feel nothing or can not work through the bodily sensations that indicate emotions.
- How I cope with the world, including needing to stim, escape noises others may not hear, or requiring accommodations to help me survive an “average” day
- How I rest after a normal day, including delayed sleep onset, reduced melatonin and increased cortisol, making getting to sleep a 2 hour long endeavour and staying asleep a task unto itself
So yes. This is all about my autism.
alr but i saw this on twitter like months and months ago and now to have stumbled upon the og-
autistic-af: autistic-af: What “friendship” looked like as an autistic child and teen (personal post)- Walking behind the group because no one wanted to converse with my. I was an addition.
- Finding out there was a party or sleepover but I was never invited.
- Calling my mum to come pick me up after an hour at a birthday party because I was exhausted and bored.
- Spending summer vacation alone. Mostly inside.
- Thinking anyone who treated me nicely was a friend. This let bullies use me very easily.
- Watching games from a safe nook on the side of the playground, no idea how to join in.
- “Why are you so weird?”
- Dressing for comfort not for fashion and being bullied for it.
- Wandering off in stores and getting in trouble but not being able to explain the lights hurt and the noise hurt so I needed to find something calming (nearly always found in the book section).
- Weird phobias
- Getting sick a lot from stress
- Room full of special interest items. Seen as weird by others.
- Easily abused as didn’t understand this was abuse. And easily kept quiet because I just wanted to be left alone.
- Realising after graduation that I actually had no real friends.
 ALTIt’s too early to have this horrible memory stabbed back into my skull. 😭 God… The “I only invited you cuz my mum told me to” was so fucking painful.

zimsrightantenna: roxilalonde: roxilalonde: been seeing this tag on ao3 called “mutually unrequited” and i dont mean to nitpick but like….thats not…..what it means…………..
“mutually unrequited” okay so they just don’t like each other
Wait this is actually a hilarious concept, they both think the other is in love with them but they both are very not in love with each other but they try to be nice and end up going on dates to not hurt the other’s feelings while trying to figure out how to let the other down gently but it keeps spiraling

defectivegembrain: Reasons Abed should win the autism swag summit: - He is canonically autistic
- He is also some rare representation for a couple of other marginalised groups, being a mixed race Polish Arab and having clear mental health issues with psychotic breaks
- His special interest is film and TV, which should surely be relatable to people invested in fictional character polls on tumblr
- He displays the rarely portrayed trait of trouble reading analogue clocks. It’s a small moment showing this, but it meant so much to me as someone who struggles with this
- His safe food is the classic buttered noodles
- He is shown struggling to empathise, but usually tries his best to connect with people regardless. He is neither an innocent angel nor an asshole, he’s just a flawed person who keeps trying
- He’s very creative and clever, playing out his favourite fictional scenes, breaking the fourth wall with meta references, and having intense daydreams that add so much to the show
- I love him and it would make me very happy

Birds is “oiseaux” in French. No letter is pronunced the way it should. And there are seven of them.
ITS PRONOUNCED “WAZO” AND YES, I WILL DIE MAD ABOUT IT
oiseaux hits every vowel in the french alphabet and manages to only be pronounced with 2 goddamn syllables
got vowels coming out the oiseaux
This will never not be funny and I will never not reblog it.
spinchs-field: spinchs-field: spinchs-field: love how when i get a new interest, i’m like “oh god it’s happening again” and i’m stuck like that for about a week until everything explodes and any interest i’ve had prior is completely dwarfed for an unknown amount of time
