I learned something fascinating today that I guess everyone already knew
Feeling very #actuallyautistic about it
Apparently “rich” refers to luxury/significant wealth, NOT just reliably sustainable comfort??
I always thought disposable income=rich lol
Been thinking on it all day & maybe it’s bc #disability #chronicpain #chronicillness make more things (like comfort) seem like a rare luxury so #disabled perspective is shifted accordingly
If that made any sense at all🙃

I keep smelling a smell
It’s a nice smell
I want to smell it more
But what is the source :(

-A lil poem about olfactory hallucination probably. It’s a mystery. Is it real or in my head. We may never know lol

@Aerliss lol that’s what I started out thinking too! Until one time someone got mad at me for bailing on plans bc of a “headache” (what I called it at the time) and to resolve we both started asking third parties if they would have attended this subjectively important event with a headache.
A few people answered something like “my headaches are always migraines so no” / “plain headache maybe but not a migraine” …blew my mind and also felt so validating😆

Can anyone relate bc I feel like this is pretty #actuallyautistic #pathologicaldemandavoidance of me but idk…

I always like to think I question Everything, until another thing I’ve never questioned gets challenged or disproven.
Then I’m like “😱oh noo what other lies am I subconsciously living in accordance with?? I better reassess every thought I’ve ever had and question more things!!”
Rinse and repeat
Which does not serve #trustissues well 😅

Good times with big sticks

#dogsofmastodon

Turns out not every all-consuming headache is a #migraine
I though it was an umbrella term for a larger category of pain…feelin kinda dumb lol
So glad I figured this out before they started mindlessly throwing some hip new migraine pharmaceuticals at me
It’s definitely #cervicogenicheadache
Anyone have #cci #neckbrace favorites? recommendations? I’ve given up looking a few times now the flood of options is so overwhelming😵‍💫

I feel like people tend to think of #asd as
“autism-spectrum disorder”
when it should be more like
“autism: spectrum disorder”
bc there is no one big “autism spectrum” & the misconception is so damaging.
It’s tons of little spectrums that (don’t actually feel little and) add up to be deeply impactful in every area of life.
Its doing & experiencing most things to extremes in a world that most often refuses to accommodate for that, and it’s exhausting.

@Autistrain I got carded to buy spray paint once when I was 26 or 27 & have yet to not be carded for drinks!

Very conflicting to me bc on one hand I’ve been brainwashed into this wacky societal belief that youth is somehow superior, so sometimes it feels comforting

but then on the other hand its so hard to be (or look) young and be taken seriously about anything ever lol

But anyways yeah I definitely look younger!😅

I have a question for the #actuallyautistic community here.

Do you look younger than your age based on what people tell you?

The story behind this is that someone said I look 10 years younger. It could be occasional. But, it's not. Back went I was 27 years old, the cashier asked for my ID to check my age. She apologized when she saw my birthdate.

I have others anecdotes like this in various configurations. It can be annoying sometimes, especially when it comes to people being flirty.
