    Comfy Clothes

    One of my worst struggles with autism has to be dressing myself. I can rarely tolerate long sleeves, I wouldn’t wear jeans for most of my life until I discovered stretch denim, and I hate fitted shirts. Anything with tags is torture, and I’m pretty sure I only own one bra I can wear for more...

    Autism VS Chronic Illness

    Informally diagnosed (as in, my pediatrician years ago said I was having an abnormal number of vasovagal episodes, and my symptoms fit really well) but in the process of finding a GP who takes my insurance so I can get tested. It's frustrating as hell, having orthostatic intolerance and stuff...

    Autism VS Chronic Illness

    Does anyone else here have health issues that conflict with their needs as an autistic person? Example: I have a disorder that causes me to faint if I stand suddenly or for too long. One remedy is to wear compression socks. I have never tried to wear compression socks because I find it hard...

    Oh, yeah, of course. (How did I miss this?) It's the first Star Wars premiere I've been able to go to, since I joined the fandom fairly recently and wasn't able to make it to Rogue One.

    Hi, everyone! I wasn't expecting replies so soon, as it's nearly two in the morning where I am.

    An Introduction

    Hi, everyone. I'm Minty, and I'm autistic. The clinic where I was tested didn't go into specifics about what sort of autism I have, and I'm under the impression that the DSM-V got rid of the "sub-genres" and lumped everything together as just plain ol' autism. I'm 23, living with my...
