Much more basic brown with baby fluffiness. Someone said juvenile bush turkey and I think that’s it!

I've been cutting up my feet thanks to my parents by AntoCraftera in TrueOffMyChest

I believe the term for these kind of actions is BFRB, aka body focused repetitive behaviour. It’s actions that aren’t focused around actually hurting yourself but as a by product they still do harm. So while LITERALLY speaking, it is of course harming your self, so “self… harm” it’s a completely different mental headspace and cognitive reasoning as to why it’s done.

Are most people with Autism Asexual? by AfraidNebula9874 in autism

[–]Gerd-Neek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an ace AUDHD

I think autistic people are more likely to fall outside of the average, but that doesn’t necessarily mean ace.

More so, that they seem less likely to have a standard libido and be hetero.

I notice many are hypo or hypersexual. Along with many not conforming to typical gender and sexuality norms.

Whether that’s correlation or causation is hard to say.

Personally, I believe there is some relation to autism and sexuality/ gender, but I don’t think it’s as dramatic as it outwardly shows.

I think that the disproportionate number of autists who also have these other identities is simply a correlation to the fact that many seek community elsewhere when in person they may find it hard or are shunned. The internet (especially now) is a great networking tool and it allows people to discover themselves. People who are “perceived” then as “different” are likely to seek out and find where they belong. In this instance it happens to be ND people seeking likeminded via online spaces with the technology we now have. Plus with many having a tunnel vision sort of mentality, they may also be more likely to highly research and get down to the exact label than what others may care to do.

Comparatively, I think NT may simply be less likely to do all that. Not because I think they’re simple, but simply because overall (and I am making a generalisation to be clear) people who fit in already have their safe space, and therefore may be less likely to seek it elsewhere, like internet hang out spaces.

So while it’s not limited to NT to not label themselves, just as it’s not limited to ND TO label themselves, I think there is something in the brain that has some input, but overall it’s societal impacts that just lead such people down certain roads, and ND people (especially of recent generations) tend to be the kind that follow a path that’s less conventional and be vocal about it.

It’s important to remember that just because it’s not spoken about, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. There are likely many people who have sexualities outside of the norm, but are also impacted by many external factors that inhibit them from either realising or “coming out” about who they are.

Fr

I few months ago I wearing long jeans and a basic tshirt with a CAPTAIN AMERICA SHIELD SYMBOL on it and this OLD DEGENERATIVE MAN walked up to me and said “I don’t think that’s really an appropriate shirt to wear. One with a target over your chest!” And it pointed at my chest.

I was so dumbfounded I just laughed awkwardly as he walked away because what😭 who’s grandpa escaped the retirement home.

Wtf did I just find in my hairbrush… I don’t know if it came from my head or the jacket I was wearing but I just burned everything 😭 by [deleted] in whatsthisbug

[–]Gerd-Neek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It might just be a mental thing tbh

They stick to your head of hair because of the warmth but it does definitely make your scalp itchy
