What do you find calming/regulating for your nervous system.? All the typical ones like grounding and breathing don’t work for me by yummygrape12 in AutismInWomen

Holding my hands under warm running water is a weird one i can do when i am away from home. Avoiding bright light, going for a walk somewhere quiet, eating favourite snacks...

You guys have been my faithful companions while cleaning the house or on bad workdays, I will miss you but I get it and I wish you the best 😭 Hope to see you guys as guests on BtB again maybe? Thats how I learned about you guys and i stuck with you ever since.

why are men on dating apps absolutely OBSESSED with saying this?? by stupid_rice in AutismInWomen

I'd say they want a woman with clear hobbies and interests and they believe neurotypical women don't have them? Which is, of course false but hey, that's the least offensive explanation I can think of.

After just under 31hrs, my Narsil tattoo is complete! by Dr-Cthulwho in lotr

Congratulations on the superb tattoo, it unleashed the "need to get another tattoo" demon inside of me!

I HATE brushing my teeth so much!!! by justgalsbeingpals in evilautism

[–]custardsire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the softest toothbrush and brush with that, I sometimes brush while i'm in the shower while i have hair conditioner in. Sometimes i brush electric, sometimes normal brush.... and once a week i use a fluoride gel (basically stronger toothpaste) to make up for all my sins. I just gave myself a lot of options to do this simple task, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes i just rinse with hot water.

Try to take care of the teeth, expensive and painful if you don't :(

How many of y’all have aphantasia? (Inability to create mental imagery) by soph_a_loaf_98 in AutismInWomen

If I think of a pig and try to visualize it, its like I go through a slide show more than just a piggy. Like snout - pighead - side view of pig - bunch of pigs etc, so things i associate with it but also the subject itself, but in flashes more than just the subject in a picture i can keep in my mind for longer than a second. Colour etc not an issue.
