    the other day i was at work and there’s a colleague food giveaway thing that u can get things from for free. so i texted my mum and asked her if she wanted doughnuts or fruit and she said that would be great and that she’s looking forward to it. fast forward to like 9:30 my shift is about to end...

    really struggling with my being on the spectrum

    ever since i can remember autism has been a bad word, asd has been demonised for me since i was young and didn’t even know i was on the spectrum. growing up in a uk public school was really tuff too i would constantly see people being bullied and be picked on myself for having autistic traits...

    For how many time you can mask?

    even after my diagnosis, spending 6 hours in a uk public school is not a great place to display asd traits. i remember beforehand when i was masking all day long i would make myself so exhausted and tired out that i would pass out as soon as i got home from school. wake up at 8pm, eat dinner...

    Do you try to make friends by "buying" them?

    in my ex friendship group (3 girls and me) i defffffinitely used money to 'win' them over and I definitely could not afford to do so! i still to this day don't know if they were taking advantage of me but i think they were. one of them in particular would not bring money if we were getting a bus...

    getting really bad homesickness whenever i go out

    i’ve noticed it quite frequently when i go to intense cities like london and am walking around. but generally there isn’t much of a pattern; anywhere i don’t feel safe i guess. like i was just sitting in a cafe today with my sister and i got a sudden feeling of sadness and this lump in the back...

    getting really bad homesickness whenever i go out

    whenever i leave my house i keep getting this feeling of homesickness or more like impending doom spring up on me. idk what it's linked to it could be either anxiety or something to do with asd but i was just wondering if anyone else experiences this? my home isn't even a particularly fond or...

    i hate being aware of certain things

    worst thing EVER : when i'm sitting there: relaxing, minding my own business and suddenly the thought that the inside of me is dark pops into my mind! certain thoughts and realisations cause a visceral reaction in me. examples would be the uncomfortable thought that if you removed your nail your...

    Do you talk to yourself?

    i don't know if it's a result of growing up on a diet of watching youtubers talk to themselves in their rooms or being fascinated by celebrity interviews, but i constantly talk at a whisper level on my own about the most random things. most of the time i'll be pretending i'm on a tv show panel...

    experiencing placebo

    does anyone else sometimes convince themselves that they're ill when they're not or that they get a headache from certain things when in reality there isn't a possibility that they could. i don't really know what this could link to or even if it does in the ASD community but i just though i'd...

    Sympathy or Empathy For Inanimate Objects???

    (let me know if you experience this) ever since i was around 11 years old (i cant remember much before that) i've been extremely sympathetic for objects; probably even more than for humans. i think the root of it was the fact that i lacked social skills; i would often talk to myself and i found...
