Happy Retreat Of The Sun Day to my #BatuallyAutistic siblings
And happy birthday picnic day to my Offspring (actual birthday was yesterday; I spent much of it baking and in prep: weather is GLORIOUS today, thankfully)
"Like a vampire" highly relatable, including for my aversion to sunlight 😂 That plus my hyperacusis causes me to joke I'm #BatuallyAutistic

Also entirely relatable, especially as the night is quieter and (obviously) darker so not as overstimulating as daytime... My nocturnal tendencies alongside my light and sound sensitivity are why I joke about being #BatuallyAutistic 🦇
@lizzard @autistics *bat hugs*
I relate to this, although my shops are reliably small even when they're in the big stores (a weird quirk of my location is that I have two supermarkets - one very big, one a larger-than-average new-build Lidl - closer than any convenience store) and I usually shop late at night because of my nocturnal #BatuallyAutistic tendencies, making them reasonably quick.
Still get overloaded. A lot of my grocery shopping is online now; here in 🇬🇧 most of the big supermarkets offer an online delivery service, with their own staff rather than gig economy slaves, and just being able to pick out groceries in a comfortable environment is super helpful to me 💖
