“I miss the old you” No you miss me when I was masking

Autism positivity isn't about "romanticising" autism.

It's refusing to feel guilty any longer for who we are.

What is Autistic Burnout?

Signs:

Lack of motivation (hard to care about goals when everyday life is overwhelming)

Loss of executive functioning abilities (decision making, organisation etc)

Difficulty with self care

Easier to reach overload or meltdown

Loss of speech, selective mutism

Lethargy, exhaustion

Illness, digestive issues

Memory loss

Inability to maintain masks or use social skills

Overall seeming "more autisic" or stereotypical

May have a period of high energy before collapse

Causes:

Passing as neurotypical/suppressing traits

Doing "too much", too much stress

Ageing: needing more downtime, having less energy

Changes, good or bad (relationships, jobs, living arrangements, belongings, environment, routines...)

Sleep deprivation, poor nutrition, dehydration

Illness

Sensory or emotional overload

Strategies:

Time

Scheduling breaks, managing spoons

Leave of absence

Stimming, sensory diet

Exercise

Massage

Reminders and support

Routines

Better environment/job/etc

Boundaries, saying 'no'

Dropping the mask/facade

Solitude

Absolute quiet

Creative projects, passions, special interests

Paying attention to reactions and your body

So, I just been wanting to talk to someone, but I don't really wanna talk to people. Talking on the internet is easier.

So this is a random rant. I think I might be autistic and I been trying to find a therapist to talk to because "normal" never understand you. They always try to act like your crazy. Thank God I'm not weak minded, because if I were I would actually believe them.

Sometimes I wish the world was only neurodivergent people, because life would be easier. No one feel stupid or crazy, because people would understand you.

Sometimes I feel like neurotypical don't wanna understand you and denounce you as off or less than.

But I know I'm not less than.

Yall be easy

Being autistic and having phone sex on a video call with a guy that gets off on being watched and positive feedback is like really hard.

Pun intended.

Because dirty talk is super hard to do when you think logically and aren’t that emotion driven. He’s all “do you want to meet him? He’s very excited to meet you. He’s getting so excited 😏”

And I’m all “oh yes I’d like to meet him...” so he whips it out and y’know it’s a penis and all. Nothing special. Just a flesh rod full of blood and semen. But I guess I was supposed to react more dramatically like “OHH HE’S SO BEAUTIFUL UHNNN YES I WISH I WERE THERE” because instead of that I was like “😶 what’s his name?” which killed the mood because apparently he didn’t get that far.

And apparently asking for the name of someone’s genitalia is improper dirty talk etiquette because he got very confused and I’m like “YOU’RE THE ONE WHO PERSONALIZED IT” like c’mon you gave him a gender and personality with wants and needs how am I wrong to ask his name?

TL;DR: I asked for my internet sex partner’s penis’ name and he deflated.

What if I show you something worse? If I see something that you don’t like, you’re gonna be all “Bruno makes bad things happen, oh he’s creepy and his vision killed my goldfish!”
