rediscovered song of the week: my body is a cage by arcade fire (might get stuck on it and spend all day in the kitchen listening to it over and over while contemplating about your life but maybe that was just me) #ActuallyAutistic

rediscovered by rewatching euphoria season one and the scene of Cassie disassociating during her abortion and mentally going to her dream of being a professional ice skater is just next level

me: going to bed ready to fall asleep my brain: remembers Iā€™m going to a birthday in two days and decides I have to practice ALL the small talk (including several summary versions of my last months for different audiences) NOW #ActuallyAutistic

Is āœØguilty pleasureāœØ a form of realization that nt culture leaves no room to enjoy yourself? but since one cannot deviate from the rest it inevitably has to be guilty? #askingautistic #ActuallyAutistic Love Fran Lebowitzā€˜s take on it
No. I have no guilty pleasures, because pleasure never makes me feel guilty. I think itā€™s unbelievable that thereā€™s such a phrase as guilty pleasure. In other wordsā€”like, unless your pleasure is killing people! My pleasures are absolutely benign, by which I mean: No one dies. No one is molested. You know? And, I think: No, I donā€™t feel guilty for having pleasure! We live in a world where people donā€™t feel guilty for killing people, they donā€™t feel guilty for, like, putting babies in cages at the border. They donā€™t feel guilty for this, but I should feel guilty forā€”what? For having two bowls of spaghetti? For reading a mystery?

Realizing Iā€™m autistic made me realize I canā€™t identify my emotions at all. I started studying emotions (e.g. got a nice lexicon) and it really helped me But I also realized Iā€™m carrying 26 years of mostly unprocessed emotions around with me. #ActuallyAutistic #Alexithymia 1/5

and Iā€™m just overwhelmed by all the newly opened boxes with old feelings from years ago. Last weekend I got a āœØIā€™m getting bulliedāœØ box which contains a special kind of shame seasoned with some guilt and Iā€™m feeling really uncomfortable since then. 4/5

There is no rumination about specific situations and my head is in a very different place but Iā€™m really exhausted and can literally feel how my body is processing all these old emotions. Pretty wild šŸ˜³šŸ˜³šŸ˜³ 5/5

Currently procrastinating writing an application because Iā€™m unsure if I want to include that Iā€™m #ActuallyAutistic. Itā€™s a mental health startup so should be a save environment but alsoā€¦ Stuck between not wanting to mask and the world is not ready. Any tips? #AskingAutistics

I sent the application and turned my paragraph about autism into one about mental health! Step by steps feels like the right approach Thanks so much for your answers! This application would still be a draft without them šŸ„°
