the added pressure around my ankles + sides of my feet tickles my brain

I have a gay brother and he told me that gays have a way to secretly self identify to a stranger (non-friend/non-acquaintance) who you suspect might also be gay. Something like: “Are you a friend of Dorothy?” or “Do you know Dorothy?”

Once when I first discovered my ‘tism, and saw another autistic

I’ve checked my playlist and recently realized most of my songs have loud beats and bass

WHERE do people make the connection that autism = low IQ??? I said that I have ASD not Down Syndrome. When people communicate with me they assume I have trouble understanding people on cognitive level. For example someone asking all the time “Do you know the definition of …?” Yes, I know what a simp

She told me 'it's all in your head' no shit where else would a neurological disorder be

Hey everyone,, i've been observing my brain lately and i think i finally figured out why i keep failing at my "to-do" lists even when i'm motivated.

I realized there’s this weird pipeline: It starts with just normal daily overstimulation (noise, too many tabs, bright lights). My nervous system feel

I'm someone with level 1 autism but I get those meltdowns that include SIBs and breaking things. When I shared with my psychiatrist what was going on, I was prescribed and put on Abilify. When it didn't help, the dosage increased from 5 to 10 to 15mg. I nearly fell asleep behind the wheel at 15, and

I always thought sound sensitivity was when a particular sound is overwhelming. I had no idea that it included being sensitive to the combination of sounds.

I hate hearing people's voices when I'm playing games so I play with no comms. I need to turn off the music in the car to understand people if

My wife (also autistic) has a degree in nutritional sciences(?) and has started improving our diet with healthy meals and a bunch of supplements around 4 months ago.

Now, I'm perfectly aware that diet doesn't suddenly cure your autism, but I've found that by now I have a noticeably easier time deal

mine is Heartstopper, i love it so, so much, its been my hyperfixation for over a year now, its so awesome, i know everything about it :)

radio - and the technology behind them - have always been my special interest ever since i was a toddler. but as of recently (since late 2025) my special interest in radio has intensified. and very greatly at that.

after getting my hands on two radios with recording capabilities, i have ever since

I started driving lessons just a few weeks ago. Never sat behind the wheel before. In the beginning, my teacher was pretty nice and patient, which made me relieved. When I messed up, he told me not to stress and take my time. With every single lesson tho he got more and more impatient. The things I

2: The first SpongeBob brand collaboration with a snack brand was with Cheese Nips in 2001 (not counting the Nickelodeon brand collaboration with Po

The title sounds really weird but I get really unusual intrusive thoughts and imposter syndrome that makes me think “what if low support needs autism isn’t real” or what if something happens and people with level one,verbal type autism wont be seen as a disability because level ones can talk and are

I'm very much into trains but on the side of public transportation, how would you go about informing oneself more? Either on the train models or better yet, keeping in line with my interest for public transportation

Got this for my two year anniversary of my diagnosis 🎂

Well during my english class. We all had the opinions on autism. And well you can see some people obviously just wiring those comments cuz they dont know what to be in one.

But would like to discuss about one thing. Do you think schools are doing a good job at handling people who are autistic in

the school that i work at did something for autism month this week. last week a sped teacher (who gives of rude vibes btw) posted this flyer around the school and there were puzzle pieces in the bottom of the flyer and a ribbon with puzzle pieces. i asked her “you made that?” and she responded “yeah

I’ve personally always been sensitive to light. It stresses me out in a way. I‘ve realized I’m a lot calmer when it’s dark, outside or inside. Rainy days are my favorite because I like how dark it is the whole day. Is anyone else like this?

The idea of love on the spectrum is great, I love that it shows autistic people finding dates, also that it showcases some people who have higher support needs. However I feel that the fanbase is very infantilizing and condescending towards the participants, and the show itself paints them as childl

To be fair, this doesn't happen that often, but when it does, it's really frustrating.

I get that it comes from a place of genuine interest and trying to give me a compliment, but it feels so shallow when people say that they think I'd be really good at chess, or an escape room, or Among Us, or wh

I'm not sure if this is just me, a general thing or if it's an autism thing,

it doesn't always happen and it doesn't happen with most music, but it's happened a lot recently when I've listened to music that evokes strong emotions.

i get like chills and tingles litterally everywhere and i swear my

i apologize if this comes off as harsh in advance. i don't mean to offend anyone that masks a lot, i'm just explaining my side with strong feelings and i would like to hear other people's opinions in the comments to better understand other people's perspectives, if there are any!

Hello. I've been getting into sea life a lot recently and I actually visited a Sea Life in Hanover this week and saw a very very pregnant sea horse in labor. Like, active labor. I am very sure that if I had stayed longer (which was impossible, I was there for 4 hours already and pushing through melt

I’m currently working for a non-profit, which is good but my physical disability limits me especially during the summer. I’m trying to find jobs that can accommodate me but I honestly have no idea where to start.

I’m a 25 y/o high school graduate with ADHD, Autism, and POTS (summer is hell for me)

At a restaurant, and usually im good at telling sarcasm, but the person said napkins would be 10 bucks each. I thought they were serious because big corporations are usually out to get your money. It was kinda embarrassing ngl. xD

I'm AuDHD, and I'm having a low dopamine kind of day, so I'm sorry if this isn't coherent or well written.

I'm 23 years old and I'm so bored. I'm an amateur writer, but writing is stimulating around 5% of the time, and the rest of the time, it's a slog. I want to make animations, but I just can't.

while when i say i can't do something.. Its because i can't.

This kind of explains why they often assume we're 'lazy' for not being able to do things, because when they 'can't do things' its because they're choosing not to. For me its not a choice.

Its so frustrating. I can tell that they're reall

hi i tagged this as seeking advice, but i am also seeking support and this is open to discussion. im auDHD & i also have some type of psychotic disorder & DID (this is important for context.) before i begin, heads up, this is long.

I can’t stop talking, and it’s not just a “oh i talk a lot about m

i struggle a lot with executive function, time management, sensory issues and fine/gross motor skills. i’m constantly dropping things, gripping too tight or not hard enough, bumping into walls, etc. it’s a very frustrating way to live and triggers a lot of SIB. has anyone done OT before? i want to h

I began collecting pop tabs from energy drinks a few years ago. These are only a few of them, I have more.

What do you collect that others might find strange?

Im from Lebanon. Fml! I’m constantly called ‘the crazy one’ by my father. Doctors aren’t patient. Sister said recently ‘where did you get this one [referring to me] from?’

I can’t anymore.

The overstimulation from the war.

The overstimulation from this rotten unforgiving society.

Fk my life.

I wanted to make ones with the autism infinity because April is also our month! The other ones are The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Tangled!

Hi, I’m 27F who has a special interest in chickens for 11 years now. They bring comfort to me especially with their cute chattering noises and I could just watch them and spend time with them for hours. I volunteer on a farm a few days a week and love to work in the poultry area. I love many birds b

It’s been a year, I’m gonna ask this one again :) what do you guys collect? Me personally, I like collecting comically small things, comically large things, merch from my favorite shows, my own art, trinkets from trips, trinkets in general, or weird things. And spare change. And pencil lead. And ori

I feel INTENSELY uncomfortable dancing. (In this context I mean social dancing, not choreographed)

It feels like everyone else seems to innately know what to do/how to look. And I swear I think some people have different joints because I can’t make my back/butt move like that no matter how I try!

Quick Story: I found out I have Autism back in 2000 at age of 3 right now 28. Also in the same year when I use to experience epilepsy which stopped at end of high school haven’t had seizures ever since but it was long part of my life I eventually accepted my identity in university 9 years ago proud

The buzz of it in my mouth is so loud and disorienting. Also I get scared to flush toilets at night but that might just be me idk. Anyone else?

hello! I am curious what makes something considered a special interest? Like I loveee learning languages, psychology, and the ocean (whales and sharks specifically).

But I don't know a lot about these things. I know an okay amount about the topics, most comfortable with psychology rambling. I h

This is the suit worn by Tom Holland in No Way Home, absolutely love Spider-Man. Was given this a few weeks/months after the movie came out

I struggle to bond with everyone, no matter how hard I try to act friendly people think I'm being rude , even trying to make friends with other autistic people is hard , I struggle to fit in , I'm sick getting judged for my rude face or tone , nobody understands what I'm saying or I'm too weird or b

I used to really like reading a lot, but after dropping out of school in grade 10 (im 20 now) i basically stopped reading books. I had always gotten them from the school library, and i went to the real city library for a few months after dropping out but i had issues remembering to turn the books in

I had to record myself today for a class assignment and it was a reminder of my Autism. Sometimes people say they cannot tell when I’m being sarcastic. I feel like I’m stressing my voice appropriately. It’s like I could barely hear the stressing of my voice in places in the video I recorded, not a l

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with level 2 autism at 30 years old. My family all seemed to know I was autistic and they are super over protective of me, but I didn't get dianosed until now. I also have a low IQ. Any other level 2 people on here? What do you struggle with? In hindsight a lot of my "od

As an autistic person, I've found it hard to actually *get* addicted to something and was wondering if anyone else who is autistic can relate. Obviously due to the lack of social skills that all autistic people deal with, I've seen that so many have gotten addicted to weed and alcohol, then found

Hello. I don't know if I should be posting here since I suspect I'm Autistic. I have a ton of the symptoms, but don't have a formal diagnosis that I know of. I could have been diagnosed as a child since I had an RBT (registered behavioral technition), and the agency she worked for only worked with A
