for those of us who didn't get diagnosed till late, or those of us who are actively trying to "Pass". do you ever feel like you are holding the real you back? like there's basically a whole other person who acts in ways the fake you would never in a million years act like?
like in my mind i...
i made a post in one of the fb groups im in. i asked if there were any connection to being born preme and becoming autistic and everyone, literally every person in the group misunderstood the question and made comments like,
"i was born late and still autistic"
"autism is genetic"
"its only...
i am all over the place right now. the woman in charge of intake didnt fight me on me suspecting i have autism or adhd. in fact from our brief very brief interaction she agreed testing would be best. idk if that means i was right, or they just want my money. sigh im cynical i know.
i expressed...

I wrote my main character as how i would be if i didnt suppress my entire personality. Mind you this character is based on a dream(it was very vivid and thrilling). I often dream of myself as a male in my dreams. I am also nonbinary/demi. so its not unusual that i would base the main character...
Ive been thinking, not constructively obviously, but what if i'm not autistic and just some loser who cant function in public places and cant connect with people
I think I may be hypermobile. Im still learning about it, but my hands and fingers range from medium to very mobile. i can W-sit, i can put my hands in pray behind my back. also it kinda makes me think that maybe my de quarvains was because of thumb instability
I need to do this in diagnostic criteria examples which ill do later....for now these are the symptoms i think fit into the criteria in no special order
I walk on my toes because i hate how the floor feels on the soles of my feet. i would walk on my toes in public if it wasn't seen as weird
i...
that moment you start to realize that you are not feeling anxious when you get dizzy in large crowds, rush hour at work, bright lights overhead, but in fact feeling sensory overload. I'm picking it up more. right now it still takes me a while to go "OH! the lights are too much, Oh! the sounds...
I know I'm not the only one on this website so where are you? drop a comment, a like, something so i know youre out there fam. I need to know i'm not alone
Hopefully these arent sensory hell, but they dont have the nose buttons so should be ok. i really really need . Ive never been able to wear sunglasses but i'm going to give it a try now that theres a different type of frame out that i havent tried before. everything is always so bright, fingers...
I was doing a lot of thinking. How my parental figure failed me as a child and young adult. How important is the status in society when you can't provide for your child's special needs. Like needing back braces, eye glasses, braces for over bites that affect the jaw, getting your child evaluated...
Tonight I had to tell my sister the honest truth. That talking on the phone makes me very uncomfortable and that it had nothing to do with her. Any one else hate talking on the phone except to make business calls?
Sometimes theres a feeling deep inside of me, a feeling that no matter what i cant get out. Its like a build up of something tbh i cant even really fully explain it myself. But what comes to mind that would potentially give me relief seems violent to me.
I want to scream. I want to pound my...
I realized that my job put my executive function in over drive. i never realized how much my job stresses me until tonight. just mildly self aware that i'm constantly forcing myself to do things even though my body isnt ready. its hard to explain i guess. what i'm sayin is i was doing internal...
i called my insurance company and they said as long as i finish paying my deductible that it will cover 80% of the autism screening! I'm like "praise the sun!" I just now have to figure out who will take my insurance and I really really hate phone calls. like please just respond to my emails...
I have a question. In the winter time when the weather is very cold my legs get very cold then unbearably itchy. is this a symptom of SPD or possibly something else. I know i should see a doctor, but for now i'm just cross referencing things that happen to me and see if they match with things...
