I was curious about an actor in a show I like, so I attempted to find out if she is autistic. When asked in interviews, she skirts the question, but she wrote a whole story about an autistic heroine where she plays the staring role herself. Despite trying not to jump to conclusions, I find myself making assumptions.
What do you all think? Is that bad? Should I try to resist doing that? Is that my brain trying to categorize everything in neat boxes?
My Two Dads was a thing because 1980s television execs were more ready to accept two straight guys raising a kid than two loving men in a committed relationship. 🌈 #FakeSitcomFacts #NotSoFakeFacts #LoveIsLove #HashtagGames
I think I charge my phone more often than I used to. I used to let it get all the way to single digits before recharging. Lately, I've been recharging when it's still over 75%. #RandomThoughts#Technology
@JeremyMallin My headphones drive me nuts. No warning at all and then suddenly the alarms are so annoyingly repetitive that I have to stop listening immediately.
I'm sitting in the dark, with the window blinds closed, because I feel like I just need it that way right now for no discernable reason. This is probably what my therapist means by nervous system regulation and emotional regulation. 🤔
I really like sensory deprivation—sometimes even more than others.
@JeremyMallin@actuallyautistic The other day, I got overstimulated and literally took a shower in the dark because I couldn't tolerate having the lights on in that moment. It was wonderful.
