I’m gonna be calling these entries ‘Day One’, ‘Day Two’, but it isn’t actually a day-by-day kind of thing. It’s more of sequencing each day of significance in my journey.
I would relish the opportunity to gather all the results of all my autism assessments and analyze them, compare them...
I guess when you experience everything alone, without having anyone to share your happiness and sadness you start to gaslight yourself into the thought that" its all in your head" your problems are not real,, your feelings are not real and its still not real when you cannot eat from anxiety and...
I've summarized this in my 'Introduce Yourself' post, which you can find here: What a relief!
This goes more into my mind about it all, though. Just about that first day. And, before I go on, Trigger Warning: suicide and grief.
I forget which day it was. From now until forever, I will...
The day started out bad but got better in the evening when my friend and her 5 yo daughter dropped by. She seems to like me even though i am not a particularly nurturing or empathetic person. Actually most children seem to like me for some strange reason. Maybe bc i am honest and childlike too...
I got made fun of by a family friend today, bc of my beliefs. Than another person chimes in talking about how someone famous wrote an article about how god doesn't exist and bla bla.
I guess, congratulations since you can stand this life without getting suicidal and hating yourself...
I love how this blog is a place where I can safely share my feelings and opinions (amidst anything online) and feel comfy without opening my mouth <3
It's been very therapuetic for me, and I wasn't expecting to genuinely enjoy it here so much (I joined it last year, not expecting to actually...
I just did an adorable happy stim which I have been doing barely any of lately!! Man this 1st of March is feeling great so far <3 I love happy stimming? What are your happy/self-regulatory stims?
Also, for some funny reason, I just got a huge boost of happiness and dopamine from looking on...
I've literally never blogged before, so I hope I'm doing this right. I'm leaving the comments on because I'd love to hear others' take on this topic as well; I just figured this was probably going to be a doozie of a post, and more of a long-format entry versus that of a regular thread...
I am sometimes overwhelmed by some thoughts and feelings that i can't explain. Like things resonate with me that i understand well in my soul. Unexpressed, unknown, known only to me and my creator.
I am proud of myself these times, that no one will be able to see these thoughts and feelings and...
There are a million things I could write about, but I know from experience it’s the best to limit each post to one topic, even if this feels restrictive or artificial.
In the long run, if you keep blogging, eventually all the thoughts will be let out, and by making this limitation, now you have...
I’ve been looking into this on and off for a couple of years, and I’ve always joked with my close online friends of my “autism”.
But last week I randomly started reading this forum, plus a couple of books, and now I’m convinced I have autism.
I want to be cautious as I don’t want to...
A word of warning to any who find themselves here out of curiosity: I am not sure about that motivation and to be honest all that follows is spontaneous and (for the most part) unedited [and I am typing this now before any editing has a chance of occurring and for that very matter, this sentence...
My son excels at imaginative play, of all things. (He hasn't been officially diagnosed, but I suspect he is neurotypical.) I love him dearly, but he is mentally exhausting. His sort of play is utter chaos and requires getting ALL HIS TOYS spread ALL OVER THE HOUSE. I don't mean a pretty magazine...
