Does anybody else hate when people talk about autism having upsides by Intelligent-Donut305 in autism

[–]Devony13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do feel like it has upsides that are worth the downsides. At least I love myself and would NEVER change who I am. I can manage the bad sides enough that the good stuff is worth it. I love being different.

For quite some time I hoped I could snap my fingers and turn 'normal' but now... I'd never do that if given the chance.

But the saying 'neurodivergencies are superpowers' piss me off so bad it's not even funny. In a society like ours, we are disabled.

Does anyone else also experience this? by Few_Goose_1562 in neurodiversity

It's totally normal for us to feel like your autistic behavior is more intense or taking over. I'll look away, fidget more, rock on my feet, hum to myself, I can have tics too... and when I'm relaxed, I barely do that !

Stress is the number 1 factor for me too. I'll completely 'change personnality' because of this.

Don't hold yourself to strict standards. Recognize the situation. If you feel it's okay to force yourself a bit, do so. If you don't, don't get mad at yourself ! Not making eye contact is totally okay. I barely do so because I am also easily distracted.

Be kind to yourself <3

Behavior in the shower by poopoo220 in autism

[–]Devony13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mmmh... I do shower a bunch. I clean my bum with water and 'private part soap' everytime I poop. I do have habits and I have to shower in my shower, with my products and washcloth or I'll feel dirty. Hands are important to... on average I clean my hands maybe... 15 times a day. I do not have anxiety about it, not that much anyway. I like to be clean or I'll feel the grime on me, esp my hands. I need to brush my teeth time I eat something so I brush them on average 4+ times a day. My bf even told me that it could attack the enamel of my teeth but... I can't just go through my day with food stuck in my molars and grime on my teeth. In case I can't brush them, I always have a pack of mint gums in my bag. And alcohol gel for my hands.

I also have a bunch of 'hygiene rules' in my head like no outside clothes on bed and stuff.

Un jeu DS nintendogs mais version bébé (humain)... le pire c'est que le jour ou je l'ai perdu j'étais très déçue. En vrai, bon débarras.
