    What's the difference between Autism's sensory challenges and sensorial challenges when you are HSP??

    I have recently encountered the term HSP (Highly Sensitive Person, otherwise called SPS "sensory processing sensitivity, not to be confused with SPD which is Sensory Processing Disorder this latter is an actual diagnosis while the others are considered to be "personality traits") and I have...

    The Autistic's Guide to Self-Discovery

    Grazie! I’ve been wondering about this for a while, since I felt we’re prone to internalize limitations based on our struggles and mischaracterization in medias. Glad to see, I’m not alone in that regard.

    But I’ve been doing it more with the Apple options while listening to music as I’m in transit and my stress level has dropped significantly. So I’m trying to plan that into my everyday routine now.

    I am so happy and excited I just bought noise reduction headphones and a sleep band equivalent from EBay!!! They’re coming in a month but I’m excited to be able to use them all the time. I’ve always negated using noise cancellations options in public or whenever I’m not working on something.

    Have you ever been called to give up or detach from something you innately had no (0%) want to let go of? Did you give up or did you keep holding on? What happened?!

    This of how inattention manifests in ADHDers: "[o]ften fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork, at work, or during other activities" explains my past downfall with math, and frustration with me being "smart" but always making small inattention mistakes...

    Didn't know that DMS-5-TR was a thing, my hatred for the DSM-5 has subsided, and the Text Revision has left me sad and speechless since it doesn't appear professionals here have updated to the broader more accurate information that the DSM-5-TR stipulates... T-T

    Lessons in Chemistry is such a comforting show, from Elizabeth and Calvin being two obviously autistic coded characters to the information you learn about chemistry literally and figuratively from her healthier relationship with Calvin (than most depictions of relationships in fiction). Can’t...

    Aloha, fellow human beans

    I honestly didn’t think of it as a metaphor, I guess this is where my “literal” thinking has decided to manifest itself. I’m unsure what you mean “a different metaphor would be better for (me),” if you literally want to give me a metaphor that fits my perspective or if formulating another...

    Keiko Furukura from ‘Convenience Store Woman’

    It was very striking for me too, though I don’t think she’s that much familiar with the disorder. She seems to like her bubble and have learned to accept herself regardless of the stigma around her. Thus, I don’t see her encountering and learning about the disorder beyond surface level since...

    Aloha, fellow human beans

    I definitely agree that our challenges are helping shape a better quality of existence connected to our adversity and our struggles. I’m not sure about being a sacrifice since that seems to have a negative connotation and if my life but a planned sacrifice, I am enjoying myself more than I...

    Keiko Furukura from ‘Convenience Store Woman’

    I love that for them. It’s just makes me think about how people really make a both deal out of others difference for no real natural reason like they’ve just been conditioned to and in those cases they simply choose to not mind that much. I can’t imagine how much ease one feels when people don’t...
