Quite accurate
The autistic experience is wanting to be an artist, a writer, a baker, an animator, a mother, somebodies wife, be totally independent, have a large friend group, only have one friend, move away and never speak to anyone ever again, never leave home, collect stuffed animals, heal your inner child, be a grown up, stay young at heart, get a job but not something you aren’t passionate about, eat safe foods, hate your safe foods because you’ve eaten them too much, scream and cry about how you feel like no one understands and you don’t fit in, love being different and not fitting in and not being able to do any of it because the seam of your sock isn’t sitting correctly.
What it feels like I’ve got to do just to feel decently okay about myself because life sucks sometimes. But also armor is just cool and wearing it around is fun. So there’s that aspect too. And having a cat companion (or a dog!) is just an added bonus
Honestly same. Lowkey might start carrying stuff around to feed the crows and ravens on my college campus whenever I see them. They’re awesome
Welp. Fully moved in and unpacked. I feel strange. Though I did get to go to one of our basketball games tonight. We won, and boy do I love the student section so much already. I think I’m gonna do well here in my new world
Can’t imagine how people can live their life alone as adults. Like what do you mean I can’t just call up a friend and plan an outing to get food, or watch a movie, or just hang out? What do you mean society and life in general tries to keep people apart??
As a kid I was taught that having friends and being a good friend was super important, but we all let our work and other life worries get in the way of that, so what changed? Is having friends just not actually that important?? Am I missing something or what?
OR, just maybe, it’s me. Maybe, just maybe, I haven’t found the right people yet…
Oh who am I kidding, society hates when people have social lives and friends. All of our time is supposed to be put into making money so rich people can make more money. No time for friends, we gotta spend our time wasting away either in school or at work for the establishment because otherwise it’s really freaking hard to even survive. Moreso work than schooling, since I do believe that getting an education is important, but we also gotta have a good work/life balance so we can have time to spend with our friends and families.
Anyway random thought of the morning over
Have some choccy milk. You deserve it!
Exactly! Especially when we want nothing more than to be accepted for who we are, only to somehow keep screwing things up
To be autistic is to live in a constant state of yearning that can never be fulfilled
Happy New Year to my fellow gremlins, hope you all have a grand old time and achieve all you want to achieve
coming out of my cage and i been doing just bad. going back in my cage because i like my cage
Okay. Quick update. It’s been like two weeks (SORRY!) and I still haven’t shared about the good news that I had. I think maybe 2 of my followers are actually invested in this?? Possibly 3??? Anyway, moving on.
Unfortunately, I still don’t know how exactly to share it or how much I can share. BUT I can share that I’ve made some really good friends at a campus event my college had several weeks ago! And because of this event, I met an extremely awesome human being.
I want to be very clear in that I am not in a relationship in any way, but I really like this amazing human being so we’ll have to see what happens when the next semester starts. However I don’t wanna cross any boundaries that I don’t know about so that’s all I want, and am going, to say about the matter.
OH! And another very important piece of information unrelated to said events is that the other friends I made are frigging hilarious. Love having lots of friends that are fun to be around lol. Mario Kart has never been so chaotically fun
Having friends who have discounts at good food places is so nice lol. I just met this person, who calls me a friend almost immediately, and takes me and two others to Chick-fil-a. I have no idea what I’m gonna do to repay this, but you can bet your soul I’ll find something.
What’d you expect? A fancy cave filled with gold? Well too bad. What ya see is what ya get. Stick around a while, make yourself comfy. Absolutely no politics, idc who the crap you are. This is a safe space. We’ve got blankets, stuffed animals, and hot chocolate. Ask box is always open too
