I'm curious… how do fellow Autistics feel when one of your posts blows up on social media?
I often feel a weird combination of validation and dread at the same time with a bit of an instinct to hide.

@JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic That is exactly the combination I experience. I find I get overwhelmed by the (positive, but still overwhelming) response.
Sometimes it feels like too much so I will intentionally not add hash tags on some posts in an effort to reduce it. Just depends how I feel that day.
