Good VS Bad Autism Tattoos

Many people in the autistic community view the puzzle piece as a hate symbol because it implies we're not whole people. We're missing pieces and we're problems that need to be solved. Which is why a lot of us gravitate towards the infinity sign instead! It comes in both rainbow (for neurodiversity) and gold! As the chemical symbol for gold is Au.

Is this a 'tism thing, or am I just overacting?

Hello!!! I just got back from taking a shower and also having a full blown meltdown because of said shower. For some context before we get started, my showers are typically scorching hot. A few more details include:

cold water drains my spoons in a way it has absolutely to right to.

I have curly hair (important for later)

I had attempted to take a shower already today.

I went to a baseball awards ceremony for my cousin, three resell stores, and gone swimming at a family member's house.

I've been out of spoons for the past several weeks. I cannot remember the last time I woke up and felt like I had enough to get through the day.

Okay, back to the present. I get home from swimming, scroll on Tumblr for a bit, then decide I'll try taking a shower again. I'd tried already this morning and no matter what I did I could not get the water to heat up, the nozzle was being weird, and I was low on time. I threw my hair into a brain, deciding it wasn't a battle worth fighting. I went to the ceremony, had some fun shopping with my mom for the first time in a while, and had a great time swimming with my siblings. Overall, it was a great day, but even things that make you happy can take up your spoons (or so my therapist said), and it checked out because I was pretty done with all the excitement of the day. I love Saturdays, but they're me time, and I don't really like having plans when I should be reading dark romance novels and marauder fanfics to scrape up what little energy I can manage. I decide to try out my shower again, hoping that maybe it was just a one time, leave it alone for a bit and it'll be fixed thing.

It defiantly wasn't.

The water was still cold as fuck and the nozzle was doing a weird 360 thing and I just wasn't having it. Still, I needed to shower. So I stuck it out for a bit and just dealt with it.

I got my body washed without any big problems (keyword big. I'd been on the verge of tears basically the whole time), but then came washing my hair. First and foremost, I was now shivering my ass off and very much done with cold water. Secondly, I'd been swimming in a salt water pool, which made my hair clump together and dense. Overall, just not an easy task to wash it. By this point, I was sobbing, clutching a towel clutched to my chest because my emotional support 3D printed T-rex was on the counter, had soap in my eyes, and didn't want to be doing this anymore, so I finished up as quickly as I could. Obviously, my hair isn't as well washed as I would like, so I'm not too pleased with that, but I have to work on calming down and washing soup out of my eyes.

I manage to calm down, but now, if I wasn't before, I'm definitely freezing my buttocks off. I speed through getting dressed, putting on the warmest clothes I have, and them work on getting products in my nightmare inducing hair.

It doesn't help, because I now have gross, sticky stuff on my hands, and I have REALLY bad sensory issues regarding my hands in particular. Still, I push through it because I'm still working on unmasking when i'm alone and not forcing myself to do what I know is too much for me. I then get more frustrated because my hair is too wet for it to defuse and I have to dry it again, with gross stickiness still on my hands, and whoops, I'm crying again because I stepped in the tiniest fucking puddle, and of course I'm at that point because why wouldn't I be?

Anyway, am I overreacting?

Funny Speech of an Autistic flower

Hello Sunflower friends!

I wanted to talk about something, atypical speech patterns!

I did not know my speech was connected with autism at first, except for being non speaking sometimes, but I find it really interesting.

In real life I refer to myself in 3rd person. Ill be like "Sunflower is feeling upset at you!"

This is cause I dont have a good idea of emotions, and I find them incredibly difficult and confusing, especially if there are emotions in me and around me with other people. So I separate myself from the emotions because its easier, and so I talk in 3rd person often.

I used to try to hide this because I thought it made me seem childish, but it helps me when Im struggling to explain how I feel, or manage my emotions.

I also refer to other things in 3rd person too. Like Ill say to my partner "Bluebell can help me?" Instead of asking "Can you help me?".

I think cause I feel like a burden alot.

Also I sometimes speak in weird language of my own. Ill shorten sentences. Alot of time, I message my best friend, and say "How Nymphae?" Instead of "how are you?". I dont really know why but it helps.

It makes it easier to speak alot sometimes as well. Which is nice. Its so hard to talk alot, and I used to get in trouble by my family for not speaking enough, but I just didnt want to. Sometimes it makes people take me less seriously, even if I have good ideas. But that's a story for another time.

I hope someone relates to this! 😊 Do you ever speak in a funny or different way?

Have a lovely day,

Secret Sunflower 🌻

"Autism Isn't a Disability, It's a Blessing" Magnet: Decorate with a Message of Empowerment

Autism isn't a disability - it's a different way of experiencing and interacting with the world. This neurodevelopmental condition is characterized by diverse traits that shape how individuals perceive, think, and communicate. Rather than viewing autism through a deficit-based lens, many advocate for a neurodiversity paradigm that celebrates the unique strengths and perspectives of autistic individuals.

Autistic people often possess exceptional abilities in pattern recognition, attention to detail, and creative problem-solving. Their intense focus and passion for specific subjects can lead to expertise and innovation in various fields. While social interaction may differ from neurotypical norms, autistic individuals often form deep, meaningful connections and offer fresh insights into human relationships.

Challenges associated with autism, such as sensory sensitivities or difficulty with certain types of communication, are not inherent flaws but rather differences that can be accommodated in inclusive environments. Many argue that the primary obstacles faced by autistic individuals stem from societal expectations and structures that favor neurotypical modes of functioning.

Embracing autism as a natural variation in human neurology opens doors to understanding and harnessing the potential of diverse minds. By shifting away from the disability paradigm, we can create a more inclusive society that values the contributions of all neurotypes, fostering innovation, empathy, and a richer tapestry of human experience.

Autism Spectrum Awareness aims to increase understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity. It recognizes that autism is a complex, multifaceted condition encompassing a wide range of traits and experiences. This awareness movement emphasizes that each autistic individual is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and ways of perceiving the world.

Key aspects include educating the public about autistic experiences, promoting inclusive practices in schools and workplaces, and challenging stereotypes. It also highlights the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate support systems.

Autism Spectrum Awareness encourages society to move beyond mere tolerance towards genuine acceptance and appreciation of neurodiversity. It advocates for autistic individuals to have equal opportunities and to be valued for their distinctive perspectives and abilities.

By fostering greater awareness, the movement seeks to create a more inclusive world where autistic individuals can thrive on their own terms.

Took a break from my blog

Hello Sunflower friends,

For the few of you who really read my blog, Im sorry to dissapear like I did. I needed to figure out my soul and what I was doing with my life.

Ive been thinking about writing here again recently.

Today,though, something happened to me though that made me decide that I still want to post here.

Im not ready to go into it, as it was incredibly difficult, but I realised, that as a medium support needs autistic person, I want to share my experience. I am a writer, so most of my things will be writing based, but I hope to share some interests of mine, like Margo Madison and other things as well, so my blog isnt a wall of boring texts.

I feel incredibly disconnected from the autism community and maybe other people who feel like me will relate to my experience.

I hope something here helps you too. If there is anything you would like me to write about. I can try.

Have a gentle day,

🌻 Secret Sunflower 🌻
