I love when I am trying to have a peaceful Minecraft experience on play.armorup.ca and then get jumped by two people in full netherite who repeatedly spawn kill me and take my money 😭

@actuallyautistic #actuallyautistic Think I’ve finally gotten to the bottom of my heat intolerance. This afternoon I walked outside and said “it’s so nice today!” and my dad responded “what? No it’s not, it’s hot out here”. Little did I realize the humidity is only 42% today. Looks like it’s humidity intolerance more than it is heat intolerance lol. 82°F with no humidity feels like a spring day to me. But 82°F with 65% humidity feels like the surface of the sun.

@actuallyautistic #actuallyautistic I am officially done. I don’t know how people actually enjoy summer, ESPECIALLY with no AC. “85°F is such a nice temp,” just say you enjoy suffering 😭

But no, if I as much as utter a peep about how I’m miserable and overstimulated, suddenly I’m whining, complaining, a primadonna, and “oh so sensitive” about the heat that everyone is SUDDENLY suffering from at the same level as me.

Still can’t ever win.

Got The Peanut Butter Conspiracy’s songs on repeat today #music #60s
@actuallyautistic #actuallyautistic One thing I’ve always struggled with is being made fun of for not singing during worship, or not being comfortable with public prayer. Knowing that these things are part of my autism, and not only are acceptable but just as honoring to God has improved my self-image tenfold. I would just like to encourage fellow autistic Christians on here that you shouldn’t let ANYONE tell you that your worship isn’t valid. Last time I checked, the haters aren’t God!
@actuallyautistic #actuallyautistic Another day of being told I’m “British” and “don’t understand U.S. weather” on social media because I don’t enjoy summer time and temps above about 72°F because of sensory issues. Have to school them right back by telling them I’m from the southern U.S. 😂

@actuallyautistic #actuallyautistic Just found out that NT people have REAL habits that happen basically on autopilot. This is news to me.

What most NT people think of as a "habit" I think of as a "task," even if it is a part of my routine. For example, brushing and flossing my teeth is a part of my daily routine, but I have to make myself think about each action separately. I wouldn't call them habits because I literally remind myself to do them every night. It isn't automatic.

@actuallyautistic #actuallyautistic Wish more YouTubers and content creators added a toggle to their videos that could switch off background music. Idk about y'all, but so many videos have added music that is unnecessary, distracting, and overstimulating.

I have seen videos on YouTube where the closed captions settings have been programmed with a separate audio track with no commentary, so I know it can be done! Would probably be so helpful for so many people!

@actuallyautistic #actuallyautistic How did y'all discover which parts of yourself were masking and which parts are genuine? Or, figuring out when you are masking in the moment it happens? Sometimes I feel off in certain scenarios but I can never pinpoint what is masking and what isn't. Any advice or resources would be appreciated!

Highly recommend the #Minecraft server ArmorUp Network (play.armorup.ca). I joined yesterday and have already made so much progress!

The Earth SMP server is especially cool because the whole world is a 1:1 scale replica of Earth on a Mercator projection map! You can view the map on earth.armorup.ca. Some of the settlements make me chuckle, like the attempts to recreate the state of Ohio and the Carthaginian Empire (with the addition of Italy lol).
