One of my little quirks I didnt put too much thought about:

I rotate my pen/pencil/stylus between marks.

I became conscious of this while using an apple stylus that feels odd when stroking it while my finger is not on the flat side. now I have to be conscious to make sure my finger is on the flat side.

Anyone else rotate em??

If you’re #Autistic and you’re in a situation where you’re working with, living with, friends with someone who is regularly hurting you, and you can’t figure out why, but there’s clearly a bad situation: I’m wondering, what is it about them that is creating this situation? 1/2

What does the world need to learn from you that you know precisely because of the things that you’ve been through? Because of the shit that you’ve had to go through, because of the crap that you’ve endured?

"If we all worked under the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance." - Orville Wright

True in science, as well as personal growth. What have you been told is true that you've found out (or suspect) isn't?

I'm working to group and curate the massive collection of info I have on topics relevant to the later identified autistic journey, so it's easier to find and sort through. (Over 200 blog posts and 350 videos.)

Which topics are you interested in?

What if you could talk to a version of yourself 20 years from now? What would they want you to know? What can they tell you that will help you right now?

One of the current diagnostic criteria for autism is a lack of imagination.

Would you say you lack imagination?

Whatever way you answer, I'd love to hear more detail - if you've time & inclination.

Reposts also appreciated ☺️

#AskingAutistics any of us actually like the physical act of kissing (with tongue involvement)? I rarely am in the mood for it and mostly don't really care for it. A peck on the forehead on the other hand... #ActuallyAutistic

In what ways do you find it difficult to function that neurotypicals often don't notice or think about?
