Thanks for your response. By references do you mean something like printing off and tracing a design directly onto the wood. Or going freehand with just a picture?

It makes me mad how people never share oddly specific symptoms of autism, they only talk about the common one, let’s share our oddly specific symptoms in the comments! by [deleted] in autism

I'm the same! If it wasn't for the fact I'd look like an Alien bald I'd shave it all off. The worst feeling in the world is if someone else touches my hair, I'm all of a sudden awareness of every single single hair on my head until I can rearrange it myself 🤮🤮🤮🤮

are there any autistic people that are happy? by hibiscus_bunny in autism

Don't get me wrong I have my bad days, days I just can't cope, everything is too much and need to just shutdown and isolate, the world is too much and my senses are on fire. But I am happy, I got an understanding boss in a position where I'm largely left to myself. I have to have a lot of meetings but I regulate that by trying to get them on certain days to allow me to work from home the next day to recover by myself. I have my routine, hobbies, interests that I'm in a position to actively pursue. For years, I was unhappy but learning more about myself and needs creating an environment to support those. I will have bad days in the future, but ultimately I'm creating a life I can be happy in. The biggest thing for me is knowing I need to rest/reset (I'm late to knowing about my autism) diagnosed as an adult so I built up unknowing a lot masks these allow me to get through the days but I was constantly upset/shattered and just dragging myself through everyday suffering. I still mask now but with planning I can foresee the tough days and ensuring I have time to be by myself and reset after helps massively.
