👉Autistic Senses? Neurodivergent? Why Would ANY of Us Brave Overload City?

#ActuallyAutistic #ADHD #Austim

Diving into a new thought: Why'd an autistic like me ever choose 'Overload City'? Sharing early musings and eager for your takes. 🧵

Reminder: This is just my journey. Autistic experiences are as diverse as we are.

What's your take? Ever found unexpected calm in facing the chaos head-on? Share below. 🔄

👉Autistic Senses? Neurodivergent? Why Would ANY of Us Brave Overload City?

Looking back, I spent a lifetime in angry chaos, desperate urgency... and chasing expert advice to end them both.

Why would an articulate *autistic* seek such a sensory and emotionally overwhelming world?

Largely, trying to distract myself from pain. At least, seems likely. Ya know, thrill-seeking?

And no expert advice, system, book, webinar, video, or relationship tone down the roar of chaos. Or tame the Pain Beast.

But diagnosis did open a door for me...

Safe introspection. I stopped looking for external approval. Not from family. Not from professionals.

I turned inward. That dark, musty closet I was scared to open in my earliest memories?

I kicked that door in.

I stopped trying to medicate, ignore, educate... even meditate the pain away.

I turned and looked at it. Simply. Calmly. Without kicking my ass with self-loathing. Cuz diagnosis said, "This ain't your fault. Not all of it anyways."

I took little bird glances at first. once in a while. But it got easier.

Then, changing my world based on what I truly saw in myself. Without the agenda of a human or group to cloud the picture.

Tiny, tentative bird hops. But they add up over
6 or so years.

Now... I sleep well.

No drug or guru ever gave me that. No matter what they charged. And one guy literally wanted my life in payment...

I could go on and on about improvements that came from create a space for my autism. Reducing sensory input to levels and the like. God knows I have before. Links below.

But if you're autistic, know one, love one, teach some, probably even if you work with some...

'I sleep well" tells you everything you need to know.

Turns out all I had to do is listen to Krishnamurti at 13.

'Don't play follow-the-leader. They can't tell you who you are. Look inside. Question everyone. Like a rebel with a cause."

In a world full of people trying to change people based on their reality, their beliefs, the bravest thing one can do is to keep being who they truly are. After all, we are not robots. Be your true authentic self.

Courage is loving someone without terms and conditions. Embracing every part of them without being judgemental or ableist. To many of autistic and transgender people are left isolated because the world wants to love with terms and conditions when all we need is unconditional love.
