Autism is highly hereditary. A lot of adults have realized that they're autistic after their child gets diagnosed as autistic. My dad has an autistic child (me) and an autistic grandchild. He's also pretty sure his dad was autistic.

Plushies are great for kids, but adults too! They're great for snuggling, can provide comfort, and can have soothing textures. Never be ashamed of your plushed friends!

Hyperlexia is having advanced reading skills beyond your age. These are the people who regularly read Stephen King in grade school.
Most hyperlexics are autistic. When I looked it up the percentage was over 80%! Not going to lie, I wish I was hyperlexic.

50-70% of the autistic community also has ADHD! The term AuDHD has come up as a label for this. While I don't have ADHD there are plenty of other autistic creators who do!

Non-speaking autistics are such an important part of the entire autistic community. We need to stop thinking that spoken word is the only valid form of communication. There's sign language, text, AAC devices, and so much more!

People focus too much on sensory overload, and not enough on sensory euphoria. What sensory things, be they noises, tastes, textures, smells, etc. make you feel great happiness?

SELF-CARE: Taking care of myself is hard enough as is. If stress catches up to me, I can try a hot-water bath, stress medicine, exercise, bed rest -- if anything, I can try to tell my mind "Don't be afraid to talk to your friends".

COMFORT FOOD: Any junk food like cookies, Doritos, french fries, soft pretzels-- plus meals like mac & cheese and mozzarella sticks -- They taste very good to my taste buds and just simply make me happy. Sometimes I eat out of boredom😅

STIM TOYS: Fidget Cube is a nice plaything to mess with. If I can't make up my mind on what to play with, I'll just find a playground ball and call that my stim toy. I'll bounce the ball all over the house! Without breaking things haha😅

MUSIC: Music is usually my favorite way to pass the time! I'd listen on the radio, on my phone when alone -- even on repeat! J-Pop is my favorite! (I made these two drawings in one video form but you know stingy copyrights 😅)

I've had cats as pets since I was a little kid. Each one has been a great friend, and member of my family.
It's not uncommon for me to want to hangout with my cat Korra more than with people.

INFO DUMPING: I could say as much as my head lets me. Want me to go into full detail? I'LL DO IT👀💦
I'll say as much as I can until my head runs out of steam, or at least tell me to stop now😅

Happy October! Thought I'd try this / thing, so--

STIMS - I'm frequently fidgety, and I like to move my arms, hands and legs all over the place just to burn some energy around the house. 🐰
