[autism-unfiltered]

Once upon a time, I had an enlightening experience that forever changed the way I view my autism and the world around me.

I was out with friends at a local festival. The music was loud, the crowd was intense, and the food aromas were overwhelming - a sensory nightmare for me. I spent the first couple of hours trying my hardest to fit in, suppress my discomfort, and just be "normal." I found myself spiraling, feeling trapped and isolated despite being surrounded by people.

Then, I remembered a small trinket I had in my pocket - a tiny fidget cube I brought with me. I started fiddling with it, focusing on the sensation of the buttons and switches. Suddenly, the world around me faded. It was like I found a personal bubble within the storm, a quiet space where I could breathe.

That moment was a revelation. I realized that trying to "fit in" and suppress my autistic traits was causing me more harm than good. I was placing an unnecessary burden on myself. Instead, embracing my neurodiversity and using tools and strategies that work for me was the way forward. The fidget cube, a small object some might consider a toy, was an essential tool that helped me navigate a sensory-overloading world.

This experience taught me an important lesson about being on the autism spectrum: there's no "one-size-fits-all" way to experience the world. We all have unique needs and coping strategies, and it's okay to use them. It's okay to be different because, in our differences, we find our strengths.

Remember, being authentically ourselves is not something to be ashamed of; it's something to celebrate.

Comfort drabbles with my comfort characters

sorry for the lack of posts lately, my life decided to fuck me over. don't trust anyone too fast kids. remember that friends can and will betray you any given moment

Mikage Reo - Precautions

"Packed everything?" he slowly turned his head towards you.

"I think so" you replied and opened your bag to double check.

"Fidgetcube?" he asked.

"Got it"

"Spinner, squishy?"

"One spinner two squishies" you nodded.

"Chewing gum? Water?"

"Got both" you nodded again. He gently smiled and placed a kiss on your forehead.

"Good" he said. "Your earphones?"

"In my pockets, I'm all ready!" You smiled and it made his heart melt. He held your hand as the two of you slowly walked to the door.

"Good. Let's beat your sensory issues babe"

Kuroo Tetsurou - Urges

He held you as you sobbed. Your face buried in his chest, sitting in his lap as you decided to escape the cold tiles. He planted a kiss on your forehead.

"It's okay baby... This is a. part of the healing process..." he whispered.

"If you... weren't home" you squealed through the tears.

"I know kitten, I know.. But relapsing is a part of recovery... there's no shame in it... nonetheless, you got through it without doing any harm to yourself. I'm proud of you..." he wiped your tears off. "Let's wash your face and watch something..."

"I don't wanna" you mumbled. "I just want to cuddle..."

He chuckled.

"I definitely understand your concern kitten, but we can't stay on the bathroom floor to cuddle..." he put his arm under your knees and the other on your back a lifted you up in bridal style. "I'll take you to the couch and I'll give you a huge serotonin boost. How's that?"

Nagito Komaeda - Not enough

He was sick yet again. Bedridden.

This wasn't unusual. At all. As the months and years passed his condition worsened. His sanity slowly chipped away, but it was still him. Whenever he felt better to talk, it was still him. The good old hope obsessed Nagito.

You missed the times he'd go on a rant about hope and talents. His crazed rambling was always better than him looking like he was at death's door.

So it was yet again, you holding his hand. You already gave him all of his medicine, fed him, helped him get cleaned up. The sound of his steady breathing would usually calm you but this night was different.

As you held his thin hand, which was cold as usual you felt tears slowly but surely falling down your face. Like small rivers, they rolled down and fell on the bed.

"I can't do this.." you sniffed. "You're so sick... and I'm not a good caretaker... I almost forgot your meds... I don't think I took your temperature today... You deserve so much better" you cried. "I should call Mikan... She might know some hospitals..."

"Don't!" he mumbled.

"Nagito?! You're awake?" you jumped in surprise.

"Don't... lose hope dear... I love you" he mumbled yet again.

As the tears rolled down once again, you realised he was probably talking in his sleep. You kissed his hand, before standing up.

"You don't know how much you help me..."
