This Is One Of The Better Descriptions Of What I See.

Please reblog this. In cases where regimes refrain from committing human rights violations out of fear of publicity, it's not because a few people knew about it. It's because the whole world is watching. We need to make the whole world aware of this.

We call this “catatonic” in our household

Y’all, our plumber came by today. I’m so excited. Work on the plumbing system starts next week.

Short back story, we have two functioning toilets and one working sink. In a household of 7! Not ok. The house was built in 1955 and has original pipes (cast iron) that are crumbling. I have never been more excited about people jackhammering at 8 am on a Monday than I am now.

Sometimes I feel like breaking down asking myself "why is everything so hard for me?" "Why can't I do the same things as other people?" "Why do I need to struggle with the stupidest of things?" But then I remember autism is a ✨️disability✨️ and I am, in fact, disabled

SOMETIME IN THE LAST WEEK MY SCHOOL PUT UP A LARGE BANNER DEDICATED TO THE :-) EMOTICON

It almost seems like non-disabled people have a harder time accepting when a chronically disabled person will never get better - and maybe even deteriorate over time, than the affected person has.

"Aww don't lose hope"

There is no hope to be had? Stop pushing your toxic positivity down my throat when I have come to terms with my situation and am grieving already.

Losing hope is what has given me an ounce of peace of mind. This is what life is now. It's not your grief, it's mine.

Well this explains a lot. I started getting migraines at 7 as well.

Not so fun facts about my migraines:

15-20% of people get migraines

0.002% of people get Hemiplegic migraines

Sometimes I get regular run of the mill migraine. The kind where your head hurts and lights and sounds are horrible.

Sometimes the left side of my face goes numb and I can’t smile right

Sometimes my right arm gets weak

Sometimes both of my legs get weak and I can’t walk without a cane or walker

Sometimes I struggle to find words

Sometimes the vision in my right eye is just not quite right

Sometimes I get terrible vertigo

Sometimes I get super nauseated

Sometimes my teeth hurt

Sometimes I feel super hot/flushed

Sometimes I get all of the above

Autism is an independent risk for migraines

Autistic children are far more likely to experience migraines

One study showed that autistic people were twice as likely to experience migraine

I started getting migraines at age 7

My triggers are weather changes (I can usually tell it’s going to rain based on my aura) and hormonal changes, especially PMS

These are the two triggers that are impossible to avoid

Thank you all for listening to me complain while I lay in bed miserable because I can’t walk or smile or have the lights on.

😍😍😍

Does anyone else ever feel like their body parts are on wrong? I get this weird sensation sometimes that mine are, even though I can look at it and see it’s fine.

Right now, it’s my hips and pelvis. It just feels wrong.

Is this an autistic sensory thing?
