Autism & Being Childish?

Autism and Being 'Childish'?

Many traits and things that are common among autistic people are often seen as 'childish' in the neurotypical world.

In reality, these things are incredibly important for the wellbeing of autistic adults and children and helpful in preventing meltdowns/shutdowns/burnout.

They are not something that should be stopped and not at all something that prevents anyone to be trustworthy/ responsible/ amazing at their job, etc.

Also, there is nothing to be ashamed of, because these things being helpful for many are totally awesome.

Some examples

1. having comfort items and being attached to them strongly.

These can be really helpful in overwhelming situations at home, and in public.

2. having 'chidish' special interests.

Special interests, whatever they are, are so much fun and super important for many autistic people.

3. unique fashion rules that might contain 'childish' elements.

For me, it's absolutely true, because in the neurotypical world, colorful things, and cute cartoon figures are often seen as childish, but for me, these are essential when going outside.

4. having a sensory space and playing with toys regularly, like having soft plushies, playing with fidget toys, lining up objects, being mesmerized by pretty lights, etc. Again, these have an important role in autistic self care

5. the autistic joy

The autistic enthusiasm and marveling at the wonders and beauty of the world, and also the way one might express the autistic joy, like jumping around, flapping hands, clapping, etc, these are also mainly associated with children in the neuritypical world, but I take it as a compliment, because for me, these are the probably the best things in being autistic.

Just had like... the dumbest idea for an original work.

Supernatural universe with a super competent feline race that are excellent at blending in with humans. They're good at everything. Including minding their own business. But that also makes them very good at judging whether other supernatural creatures are putting their world at risk with humans or not. Some are even tasked with being Official Judges for others to bring their grievances before, and others still tasked with carrying out punishments. It is made especially clear that these two classes of the feline race are a very last resort. They live aloof from both sides, only opening up to their own species, and it's considered one of the highest honors when they decide a non-feline is part of their inner circle.

"I don't mean this to be insulting or anything," Human MC asks.

"I will not be offended," Feline Character replies.

".......Are you all autistic," Human MC asks.

Feline Character does an 👌🏼 at them. "We've been masking in mixed company for literally millennia."

With this new awareness about autism and it being more diagnosed sometimes I think, what if it is not really what is making my existence so difficult?

Cause, how can those internet autism advocates keep up with the pace that a non-autistic society demands while I stay further and further behind if we supposedly have the same difficulties?

Once again I feel like there really is something inherently wrong with me.

And I feel so hopeless because I look like them so people expect my support needs to be the same but they aren't.

reading about autistic meltdowns is crazy. in retrospect maybe that time i ended up sobbing self isolating and lashing out at people because I couldn't figure out how to set up my laptop the same way it had been before might've been because of The Autism

starting to think maybe waking up with an anxiety stomachache every single morning and then needing to spend the entire day trying to get rid of said anxiety just to maybe have a few minutes in the evening of feeling relaxed before going to bed is perhaps not normal

throwback to the time i did a presentation on 'neurodiversity in the workplace' and my teacher assumed it was my topic of research 💀 after my presentation, they said i seem to be 'very knowledgeable about the topic', and that it's clear i've 'read a lot of literature' about it, and i was just sitting there, knowing i just trembled and stumbled through the whole presentation, giving them first-hand examples of several things that had been mentioned. and i had to gently nod and smile about my apparent research topic that i spend a lot of time researching. i did not read any piece of literature about it, everything i said was from what i've learned online and from experience, but it wasn't exactly the safest position to admit that. like. if you didn't clock me as nd after that whole ordeal, then that's on you
