    Cynical Observer of my Diagnosis

    "You were fine before your diagnosis." "You've acted more autistic after your diagnosis." "You were more social before your diagnosis." I can't even begin to find a way to respond to such comments. They erase me in a way. They deny my existence. They suggest my mind is unreal or an act. Of...

    Laughing at 'the wrong time'

    Ha! I like to laugh. I used to laugh a lot more when I was younger. A lot of times it would be at a thought I had, related or unrelated to whatever I might be doing or talking about. Sometimes, something as common and mundane as something falling off its hanger in the closet could get a giggle...

    The possible causes and concern for sleep disturbances and daytime disorientation are, nocturnal seizures, frontal lobe seizures, and partial seizures. The disturbances most often occur right after falling asleep, but can happen multiple times in a night, and are disorienting and...

    What made you UNHAPPY today?

    I think it's really cool that you draw animals. Is your avatar one of your drawings? It's really cute. I don't like that people made negative comments towards you and something that makes you so happy. I hope they go away.

    How to deal with HeartBreak?!

    I'm very sorry to hear about your break up. Emotional pain or lack there of, it is still a loss and I bet that sucks. I was recently dumped during a sensory overload and C-PTSD flashback, and initially- I was a wreck. For a couple of hours. Then suddenly it stopped, and for a full month and a...

    Alone

    Thank you for sharing your experiences and relating to me. The couple days since this post, I had a few dark moments but also stayed active; trying to get my mind onto the tasks on front of me, instead of being constantly looking inward.

    Constantly Calculating

    Ah, I believe analyzing is a good word for what I'm describing. I have used it a few times when talking about this. Perhaps I'm not challenging myself enough mentally, and am seeking out stimulation. This could be the time for me to consider adding more thought intensive activities to my...

    Alone

    I'm just gonna rant if that is okay? Integral to what I would consider an enjoyable existence, is privacy. I can complete all kinds of tasks and activities without outside intervention. If I make a mistake, that's my responsibility. If I get upset with something, that's mine as well. No...

    Constantly Calculating

    During my private and shared experiences, asleep or waking, I am always calculating. By this, I mean a few things. At the very least, I am taking in the current moment and doing my best to predict the next. This might include the way someone exhales, or even the way the sun filters through a...

    STORYTIME - Sensory Battlefield 01

    Today, I have a mission! ... and after gearing up in a hat, hoodie and sunglasses, I feel just safe enough to step out that door. I walk quickly. I know I have 2 crosswalks, a bus ride and 6 more busy street crossings between here and my appointment downtown. The bus is very loud and bumpy. I...

    Sensory Battlefield

    I would like to try and share my journey as a recently diagnosed autistic adult. Learning to reshape how I see myself, and find the line of where I end and others begin.

    Earplugs in Public - Safety vs Comfort

    Oh, I think that's pretty cool! Yeah, I wanna get over funny looks too. One time at a big family dinner I wore earplugs with a hat pulled over my head to hide them. It drained out the peak of noisy overlapping voices and I could still understand them. I usually get funny looks though since I...

    Earplugs in Public - Safety vs Comfort

    Ah yes. I suppose that's not entirely too obnoxious to walk around with those. :3
