I'll never understand why people believe that all autistic people are exactly the same, or fit within every autistic stereotype. "You can't be autistic because you're not exactly like Sheldon Cooper."

For some reason parents seem to think that posting videos of their autistic child having a meltdown is okay! It's not! Not only are they sharing a video of their child in a very vulnerable state, they're also helping push a narrative that autism is something to be feared. 1/2
Back when life was, you know, normal, I liked to get all my housework done by 10AM and then get to work. However if I got it done by 10:05AM that was it. The day was wasted. Might as well just go to bed because it was pretty much bedtime anyways!

Why am I autistic? Because my dad's autistic. My dad and I have always been close. Our minds always just clicked. It wasn't until he got diagnosed in his 60s that we fully realized why. He's one of my best friends, and he always will be. Happy Father's Day Dad!

Don't you just love it when everything feels like it's your fault, and the more you overthink it the more it seems true? I sure don't!

It's not uncommon for me to either trip over my words, forget a word, or mess words up. Even when I'm relaxed and happy this still happens. It can be really frustrating, and embarrassing, but definitely more so when someone reacts angrily, or mockingly.

As tiring as social interactions can be I find them to be fun, provided I'm with the right people. I often find myself excited at the prospect of spending time with good friends, although usually I still will need time to mental prepare before hand.

I can get so easily overwhelmed through my sense of touch, so some days I just can't stand being touched because I'm already on the verge of overstimulation thanks to my clothes and hair. It why I wear loose clothing, and often keep my hair up.

I used to have a friend who never believed that I was autistic. A lot of people go through this. They'll have a friend, or family member whose view of autism is so narrow, and negative that they automatically reject the notion that someone that they're close to is autistic.
I have gone through my entire life with people misspelling my name, and it drives me up the wall! It's because of this that I do my utmost to make sure I never misspell anyone else's name, so they don't have to suffer like I've suffered.
