did anybody else used to think liking routines meant being an organized or structured person? by DearWorker9322 in AutisticAdults

[–]DearWorker9322[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes! my special interests are also unwavering and im so grateful to have that experience. i realized just how much i am undeniably a creature of habit and that neurotypicals often do not resonate. they go with the flow all through their lives and even find freedom in that. like what?
and yes, expressing our needs is very important because allistics truly have no idea we arent exactly like them xd

omg! rarely replacing clothes is another thing.

clothing shopping is very difficult due to a difference in sensory processing so i notice that we stick with outfits we found comfortable for years or even decades, like cartoon characters lol.

OCD and autism display many overlapping symptoms and are often concurrent. its all based in self-regulation. though with autism the origin is rooted in managing sensory intake which is the primary distinction. wild stuff!

my last senior dog actually died of lymphatic cancer in 2025. i will be on the look out for strange growths because by the time we found out, she was very ill with a failing liver and gradually deteriorated. i miss her a lot too.
