30 Flavours of Autism: Grab a Spoon and Help Yourself

Welcome to part one of my series, Flavours of Autism, and my big, feisty feelings around the gatekeeping of autism diagnoses.

Depending on where you live, you’re forced to pay an inordinate sum for a private assessment, wait years for a publicly funded one, or worse, both. Some adults, like me, get lucky and skip the line due to a preexisting relationship with a qualified diagnostician. Unlike most kids, some get lucky and skip the line because their school already has one.

But what breaks my heart entirely is when autistic folks arrive for their assessment and fail to receive diagnoses due to a lack of knowledge and language to describe their lived experience. Not to mention that many symptoms of autism can interfere with the assessment process — and don’t get me started on how gender influences the likelihood of receiving a diagnosis and accurate assessment.

In my most professional, clinical opinion, I consider the process an absolutely abysmal bunch of rotten bananas — and sadly, my hands are mostly tied as a Registered Clinical Counsellor in BC, Canada. RCCs cannot diagnose, but we can provide specialized therapy and recognize, refer, and support clients throughout their journey. Not-so-recently, I realized this isn’t enough to bridge the gap, but through the wise words of the millennial icon, Junie B. Jones, I can assure you “that didn’t even faze me.”

I remain unphased because it is within my scope to disseminate and share what I know and continue to learn. I hope anyone encountering my content can use it to support themselves or others in preparing for their autism assessment. It’s overflowing with all the psychobabble and clinical jargon that might stand between them and an accurate assessment. Education is power, baby.

My words, this article, and the Flavours of Autism series are not a substitute for professional mental health advice or support, such as connecting directly with a psychotherapist or psychiatrist. Moreover, while it’s important to honour and explore your lived experience, reading and resonating with this article does not diagnose you or anyone else with autism, nor mean you or anyone else is autistic.

1. Monotropism

Monotropism refers to an intense focus on one interest or task at a time. Autistic individuals with monotropism may find it difficult to switch their attention between tasks. This deep, single-minded concentration can lead to exceptional expertise in their area of interest. However, it can also cause challenges when adapting to new activities or demands. Understanding monotropism can help create supportive environments that honour their focus while gently encouraging flexibility.

2. Echolalia

Echolalia involves the repetition of words or phrases spoken by others. This can be immediate, where the repetition happens right after hearing the words, or delayed, occurring hours or even days later. Echolalia is often a way for autistic individuals to process language, learn speech patterns, or communicate their needs. Recognizing echolalia as a meaningful communication attempt rather than mere imitation is important.

3. Idiosyncratic Phrases

Autistic individuals might use unique or unconventional phrases that hold personal meaning. These idiosyncratic phrases can confuse others but are significant to the individual. They may stem from specific interests, favourite media, or personal experiences. Understanding these phrases requires patience and a willingness to learn their context and significance.

4. Issues with Interoception

Interoception is the ability to sense internal bodily states like hunger, thirst, or temperature. Autistic individuals might struggle with interoception, making it hard to recognize and respond to their bodily needs. Interception issues can also lead to increased sensitivity to bodily states. This can lead to challenges in maintaining regular eating, drinking, and temperature regulation. Awareness and support in recognizing these internal cues are crucial for well-being.

5. Issues with the Vestibular System

The vestibular system, responsible for balance and spatial orientation, can be problematic for some autistic individuals. Difficulties with the vestibular system may result in coordination, balance, and movement challenges. This can affect daily activities like walking, running, or participating in sports. Occupational therapy and other supportive measures can help improve vestibular function and coordination.

6. Motor Tics

Motor tics are involuntary, repetitive movements such as blinking, twitching, or jerking. These tics can vary in intensity and frequency, sometimes becoming more noticeable during periods of stress or excitement. While motor tics are generally harmless, they can be distracting or socially stigmatizing. Understanding and accommodating these tics can help create a supportive environment.

7. Vocal Tics

Like motor tics, vocal tics involve involuntary sounds or noises like grunting, coughing, or throat clearing. These tics can be frequent and disruptive, affecting communication and social interactions. Recognizing vocal tics as involuntary behaviours and providing supportive responses can help reduce the individual’s anxiety and stress.

8. Repetitive Motor Movements

Repetitive motor movements, often called “stimming,” include hand-flapping, rocking, or spinning. These self-stimulatory behaviours are used to self-soothe, manage sensory input, or express excitement. While stimming is a natural and important behaviour for many autistic individuals, it might need to be managed in certain settings to ensure safety and social comfort.

9. Masking

Masking involves suppressing or hiding autistic traits to fit in socially. This can be exhausting and lead to significant stress or burnout over time. Masking often requires constant monitoring of one’s behaviour to meet social expectations, which can be mentally draining. Recognizing and validating the effort behind masking can lead to better support and understanding.

10. Camouflaging

11. Sensory Sensitivities

Sensory sensitivities refer to over- or under-reactivity to sensory input such as lights, sounds, textures, or smells. Autistic individuals may experience sensory overload or actively seek certain sensory experiences to regulate their sensory input. Understanding these sensitivities and creating accommodating environments can significantly improve comfort and functionality.

12. Executive Function Challenges

Executive function challenges include difficulties with planning, organizing, and completing tasks. These challenges can impact daily activities, academic performance, and time management. Supportive strategies, such as breaking tasks into smaller steps and using visual schedules, can help improve executive function skills.

13. Social Communication Differences

Social communication differences involve challenges with understanding and using verbal and nonverbal communication. This may include difficulties with eye contact, interpreting body language, or understanding social cues. Providing clear, direct communication and allowing extra time for processing can enhance social interactions.

14. Issues with Emotional Regulation

Emotional regulation refers to the ability to manage and respond to emotions appropriately. Autistic individuals might experience intense emotional reactions and find it hard to calm down. Developing coping strategies and providing a supportive environment can aid in better emotional regulation.

15. Aphantasia

Aphantasia is the inability to visualize images in the mind. People with aphantasia do not create mental pictures and may rely on other senses to process information. This condition can affect memory and imagination but also encourages unique ways of thinking and problem-solving.

16. Hyperlexia

Hyperlexia is characterized by advanced reading ability at a young age, often coupled with difficulties understanding spoken language. Autistic individuals with hyperlexia might have a strong interest in letters and numbers. Recognizing and supporting this unique learning style can help harness their reading skills effectively.

17. Alexithymia

Alexithymia involves difficulty in identifying and describing one’s own emotions. This can lead to challenges in emotional expression and understanding others’ emotions. Providing tools and strategies for emotional awareness and expression can improve communication and emotional health.

18. Dyspraxia

Dyspraxia, also known as Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), affects motor skill development. This can lead to clumsiness and difficulties with tasks requiring coordination. Occupational therapy and targeted exercises can help improve motor skills and daily functioning.

19. Hyperfocus

Hyperfocus is the intense concentration on a task or interest to the exclusion of everything else. While this can be highly productive, it may cause neglect of other responsibilities. Balancing hyperfocus with scheduled breaks and reminders can enhance productivity and overall well-being.

20. Synesthesia

21. Issues with Proprioception

Proprioception refers to the sense of body position and movement. Issues with proprioception often arise as an increased or decreased sensitivity in specific situations. These challenges typically affect coordination and spatial awareness. Exercises and physical therapies that enhance proprioceptive feedback can improve movement and balance.

22. Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) involves difficulty processing and interpreting auditory information. Individuals with APD may struggle to distinguish similar sounds or understand spoken language in noisy environments. Supportive strategies include using visual aids and ensuring a quiet learning environment.

23. Tactile Defensiveness

Tactile defensiveness is a strong negative reaction to touch or certain textures. This can lead to discomfort with certain fabrics, foods, or physical contact. Gradual exposure and sensory integration therapies can help reduce tactile defensiveness and improve comfort.

24. Selective Mutism

Selective mutism is the inability to speak in certain social situations despite being able to speak in others. Often linked to anxiety, it can be seen in social or unfamiliar settings. Creating a supportive and low-pressure environment can encourage communication.

25. Rigid Thinking

Rigid thinking involves difficulty in adapting to changes or seeing different perspectives. Autistic individuals may prefer routines and struggle with unexpected events or new ideas. Encouraging flexibility and gradual exposure to change can help ease rigid thinking patterns.

26. Sleep Difficulties and Disorders

Sleep disorders include difficulty falling, staying, or maintaining a regular sleep schedule. Common in autistic individuals, these disorders can impact daily functioning. Establishing a consistent bedtime routine and creating a calming sleep environment can improve sleep quality.

27. Anxiety Issues and Disorders

Anxiety disorders involve high levels of anxiety that can interfere with daily life. This may include social anxiety, generalized anxiety, or specific phobias. Counselling, coaching, psychotherapy, and other anxiety management strategies can provide relief and improve quality of life.

28. Depression

Depression involves persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or loss of interest. It can affect mood, energy levels, and overall well-being. Seeking professional help and building a supportive network are crucial steps in managing depression.

29. Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

ARFID involves extreme avoidance of certain foods, leading to nutritional deficiencies and weight issues. It is not driven by body image concerns but by sensory sensitivities, which are common in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Autistic individuals may avoid foods based on texture, colour, or smell. Understanding ARFID involves recognizing these sensory challenges. Supportive strategies include working with dietitians or therapists to expand food choices and address anxieties. Providing a supportive environment can help improve nutrition and reduce food-related stress.

30. Twice-Exceptional (2e)

Here’s hoping this was helpful and that you’re satiated for now. Learning more about autism, the autistic experience, its nuances, and controversies is a labyrinth. However, I’ll always argue that it’s a worthwhile journey. Plus, aren’t we autistic folk notoriously partial to puzzles and deep dives?

zelda villain sleep headcanons?

The villains sleep headcanons

Ganondorf

Sleeps like a log, seriously there is nothing that wakes Ganondorf up.

He's also a blanket hog, and during colder seasons, he'll sleep with an unholy amount of blankets, quilts, and anything he can use to keep himself warm.

Snores loudly too, so if hearing a lawnmower all night long is white noise to you then he's your man.

Ghirahim

He claims that he doesn't have the need to sleep because he is perfect, but that is a huge lie. Ghirahim needs his 8 hrs of sleep otherwise he'll be insufferable for the whole day.

When he sleeps he doesn't move or make any noises he just plops into the bed and falls asleep in whatever position he landed on the bed (and good luck trying to make him scoot over to his side of the bed if he decides to sleep in a diagonal position)

Zant

His sleep schedule is all sorts of fucked up but that's on his own volition. He sleeps whenever he feels like it and if he has nothing going on during the day he'll just go and sleep.

His sleeping pattern can go from sleeping 1 hour and feeling fresh as a daisy and sleeping for three days straight.

Also has these curtains that make the room super dark so it feels like it's night time all day long so its easier for him to sleep.

Volga

Sleeps anywhere. He's usually a light sleeper since he tends to be on high alert at all times.

Whenever he has time for himself, he uses it to sleep and rest properly.

So he'll probably out be cold for a whole day, but if he has something to do later in the day he'll try to wake up by then but it's not guaranteed.

Wizzro

A very light sleeper so god forbid that anyone wakes him up.

To prevent this he has quite the set up in his room with white noise to make him sleep better.

He's also immune to melatonin and those sleepy time teas (idk how they're called the ones w the bear)

Kohga

Sleep talks a lot. Its usually him rambling on about how he despises Link or about his elaborate plans for the week.

Has quite the collection of banana plushies, including a Yellow Junie squishmallow.

Tosses and turns a lot too and most of the time ends up sleeping on the floor because he falls off the bed and doesn't even care.

Sooga

Quite the heavy sleeper as well. He has a very strict sleep schedule and tries to get his 8 hours of sleep as often as possible.

When sleeping, he doesn't move at all he just sleeps in a single position.

Astor

Survives on red bull and spite so his sleep is rather minimal.

Slip in some melatonin gummies to have him turn into a 'honk shoo' type of man. Seriously once he falls asleep he passes out and wakes up 3-4 business days later.

clouds: one time i had a short dream where i was kissing my girlfriend’s face and we were smiling and laughing the whole time it was so sweet, ugh i miss them :,(

paper: either the llama llama books, or junie b jones! my mom used to read the llama llama books to me when i was little, they’ve always stuck out to me :3

strawberry: strawberries and bananas! bananas make my mouth kinda itchy, but i love the smell of banana scented things <3 same for strawberry scents!

OSRR: 3602

today i went for lunch with my mom and we went to ocean state for a bunch of stuff, none of which im completely convinced we needed. but we got new lawn chairs which are actually camp chairs bc we use them for cookouts and stuff and we need to actually be able to get up out of them with a plate of food and stuff.

we stopped for lemonades and pie and snacks, and it was just as we were leaving walgreens with snacks that the funniest part of the day occurred.

mom handed me her debit card to put back in her purse after paying, so i went to grab her little wallet to put it back, but the purse was so stuffed by something it was hard to deal with and honestly hard to get into at all - the bag is kind of big, so the fact that it felt so cramped was really weird. so i find the offending pocket, and i seek out what's making it make the bag feel so goddamn cramped. i reach in and i find a spray can of poo pourri or whatever it's called, and for a moment i thought i found the issue, but the pocket was still too stuffed of something for that single can to make a difference like this. so i stick my hand further into the pocket, and i come across something smooth, which is squishy and vaguely squelchy. which is a weird thing to have in a pocket that usually has makeup in it, and for a moment i thought it could've been one of those blender sponges for foundation, but my mom doesn't use those. so i grab the thing and pull it out.

it's a significantly over-ripened banana.

holding it up, i look at my mom and say, "care to explain this?" mom looked a little confused, and cashier was completely unfazed. definitely not the weirdest thing someone has pulled from their purse in that store.

when we get to the car she explains that last wednesday she'd grabbed a banana to eat for breakfast and put it in her purse as she went to the grocery store. she promptly forgot about it. she went grocery shopping, and she kept thinking about bananas. she went to dunks after, and put her bagel in the purse and ate the donut. since she kept thinking about bananas, she figured it was because she wanted to get some banana nut muffins, so she went back to the grocery store to get some.

she later remembered the bagel, but she's been thinking about bananas since wednesday. she's also been thinking her purse smelled like bananas, but she figured that was because she was thinking about bananas. but no. there was in fact a banana in her purse.

just before she explains this, she reaches into the bag of things we just got and pulls something out to give to me.

it's a squishmallow. a banana squishmallow.

her name is junie, and the combination of events which led to our walgreens trip having a net-zero sum of bananas was the funniest thing i could've imagined happening today.

anyway. after that, we came home and watched the flash until i made dinner and then we watched some more until about 10pm.

joel texted me today asking what i was up to. i said i was watching tv, and i asked him what was up. he said "not much," and that was about it. i'm sure he was doing something; he's always doing something. he has so many projects running at once that it's a wonder he has any time and creativity left for anything else.

but now it's almost 00:40 and i have a headache and i am so tired.
