#maybe sensory processing idk

[chuckstiposition]

A colleague in their 20s came up me (40s) earlier and asked if I was good with tech and if I could help reassemble their ear plugs that had fallen out and broken open. We kind of got them back together and she said she wasn't that bothered if they're trashed cause they're ajute.

I said what was that ajute?

After she said yeah I asked what ajute meant. She said like a knock off. I got excited and asked where that slang came from, is that what the kids say these days, is it short for anything?

She just kind of looked at me and said its short for duplicate. She was saying a dupe not ajute 😭🤣

[necr0lysis]

something that kinda bothers me is like everytime someone talks about the differences between two disorders they're like "they look exactly the same except their reasons are different". bro that does not help me. i have alexithymia! my brain processes "how do you feel?" and "what do you want?" the same way... i don't know!!!

but anyways i am once again trying to figure out if my whole "i'd rather die than eat leftovers" thing is an autism sensory issues arfid kinda thing or a contamination ocd kinda thing.

initially i want to say arfid. because leftovers change texture. and there's chance for it to be cold when it's not supposed to be cold. and i generally dislike eating and cannot do it unless i'm high. eating is hard and i don't want to try new things

but then

growing up with parents who starve you fucks up your relationship with food. you have hoarding become a silent permanent part of you. i started hoarding food and food related trash since age 11. it would rot in my closet and make my room smell bad and there would be bug eggs and things. i hated having food in my room. but i kept doing it and it disgusted me. now flash forward to being age 20. i've seen a lot of moldy rotten food. food went bad in my fridge about 8 months ago and since then i've been feeling like i can't use the fridge. like if i put food in there it will be in the same air as the rotten stuff and go bad too. i love baking. it's the one of the only things that bring me joy. i made pudding cups for a family bbq. the day before. and when it was time to eat one i found myself NEEDING to scrape the top layer of whipped cream off. because it had been in the air of the fridge of the other food all night. idk

but then i think. maybe it's just autism, because maybe i thought the top layer of whipped cream would be hardened and a different texture rather than contaminated. maybe it was just a sensory issues thing.

someone telling me "well why do you do it? that will help you figure it out!" does not help. it doesn't

i feel like tumblr is a good place to call out to autistic bitches so. does anyone happen to know how i could find a waterproof light that isn't flashy or multicoloured or horrifically bright for showering purposes. dim-ish warm light is all i can really tolerate but idk if there's a version of that that'd survive in a small bathroom with dodgy ventilation that gets very wet

[blurred-antics]

fellow autistics who have a hard time w liquids but need electrolytes, what brand do y'all use (either mix-in's or premade drinks)? like yeah I can push myself if I absolutely have to but I'd rather not feel on the verge of gagging every time. I know there are flavorless mix-in's but are they *actually* truly flavorless?

[theres-whump-in-that-nebula]

I keep remembering that back in the congregation I most recently attended, there is an elder’s wife who is a rockhound for the scientific and aesthetic intrigue, but also believes in crystal healing… which, all things considered, is absolutely fucking bonkers.

[sodacowboy]

fan is on three feet away from me and I can still hear the fizz of the energy drink like a foot and a half away from me

[graveyarrdshift]

I think I hauve autism

[littleturtle99]

i bring a "enough autistic people have asked me if i am autistic or assumed me to be autistic that i am starting to wonder if there's something i should look into there or if it is just all the other things" kinda vibe to practicing facial expressions in the mirror and being alone with my thoughts in the bathroom

every day for the past week I have become inexplicably more and more interested in quilting

A lot of us with ADHD are familiar with the concept of time blindness, but for anyone who isn't: it's a neurological inability to have a consistent sense of the passage of time. If you put me in an empty room, gave me a button and told me to press it when I think it's been 15 minutes, I might press it after..... idk, anywhere between 3 minutes and 2 hours? And if we repeated it the next day the result would probably be wildly different!

But something I've only seen mentioned in one (1) Reddit post, which took some extensive digging to find, is the same effect extending to ALL things measured in numbers. Distance, weight, length, height, amount, space, volume, percentage... For me, small numbers are a bit easier, I could approximate a centimetre probably, but a metre would be much harder and 10 or 100 would likely miss the mark by a lot. Also, anything that can't be easily measured with a ruler or a measuring tape (like weight or volume) is even harder since I don't encounter reference points (like a 1kg hand weight) for those as frequently as I see visual representations of specific lengths.

It's not dyscalculia or anything like that, I'm decent at math (and the OP of the Reddit post was a math major) and I have no other difficulties with numbers, it's just a disconnect in translating real life experiences like sensory input into numbers (and possibly also inconsistent processing of sensory input? Like how the same sound volume is okay one day but hurts my ears the next?), which I think is basically the same thing as what happens with time blindness. For now I've been calling it "measurement blindness" since I've never seen a name for it anywhere, but maybe "quantity blindness" could also work?

I've talked to other people with time blindness to see if they experience this too, but so far none of them have known what I'm talking about. I'd really like to know how many of us are out there and if anyone knows literally anything actually scientific about this very inconvenient phenomenon!

Tl;dr: bc I am wordy:

It's like time blindness but for all things measured in numbers

Not dyscalculia or caused by it

Pretty much never seen it talked about anywhere

Please tell me if it sounds familiar and/or you know something about it, thank

Scenario

You clenched your jaw, feeling frustrated with everything. The clothes you wore, the way you looked, how you stood. Everything. "What the fuck is wrong with me," you grumbled, shaking your leg at the sudden sensory overstimulation. You took a deep breath and decided to scroll through your phone to pass the time. Your Caregiver Title came home, and the loud door closing knocked you off. You glared at the hallway, huffing in annoyance.

Bang Chan

Chan hummed walking in, intentionally pissing you off even more. You sighed through your nose and tried not to snap at him. "Hello, baby. How was your day, hm?" he asked, setting down his backpack. You rolled your eyes, "Good," you replied curtly. Chan tilted his head at your tone, "What was that?" he asked, questioning if he misheard. You groaned, "What?" you asked, glaring at him. Chan straightened his posture, "You know better than to speak to me that way," he said, eyeing you down.  "So what," you huffed, wanting the silence back. Chan chuckled, sending a shiver down your spine, "I'm going to ask you one more time, little one. What's with your attitude?" he asked, gripping your jaw. Sobs bubbled from your throat, the over-sensory tipping off the edge. You explained to him as best as you could through your sobs. Chan sighed and held you close, "You surprised me, little one. Daddy knows you've always been good," he said, pampering you after. 

Lee Minho

Minho stood in the hallway, acknowledging your glare, "Who are you glaring at?" he asked, walking towards you. "The wall," you grumbled, rolling your eyes. Minho raised an eyebrow, "What did the wall do to you?" he asked, prodding at your grumpy behaviour. You huffed, "Can you shut up," you said, gritting your teeth. Minho's eyes widened, not expecting you to snap at him, "What's wrong? And you better not lie," he warned, cracking the joints in his neck.  You scoff in disbelief, "Nothing is wrong. You're just fucking annoying," you grumbled, scrolling through your phone to avoid his eyes. Minho hummed, "Say that again, I dare you," he said, clenching his jaw. You puffed your cheeks, "I don't want to," you muttered, gripping your phone. Minho chuckled, "Fine,"  he said, laying you across his lap. You yelped, "Fuck you," you cursed, squirming to get off. Minho held tight, "Maybe after a few spanks, I fucking will," he grunted, tugging down your pants.

Seo Changbin

"Agi-ah!" Changbin yelled, making you roll your eyes. Changbin smiled, instantly wrapping his arms around you, "Aigoo, Bin missed you," he cooed. You grunted, hating the feeling of warmth from the hug, "Get the fuck off me," you cursed, trying to push him off. Changbin paused at your tone, "Hm?" he questioned, thinking he heard wrong. "Ugh, get off," you huffed, squirming out of his grip. Changbin stood there with his jaw dropped, "What?" he whispered, processing the whole thing. You rolled your eyes and continued scrolling through your phone. Changbin clenched his jaw, "Why are you mad?" he asked, pushing his hair back. "Why are you mad?" you mimicked, sticking your tongue at him. Changbin scoffed in disbelief, "Are you going to talk properly or do I have to force you?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. You glared at him, "Fucking make me then," you said, gritting your teeth. Changbin smirked, pushing you down to your knees and forced his thumb into your mouth, "Open," he instructed, unzipping his jeans.

Hwang Hyunjin

Hyunjin felt uneasy as he walked through the hallway, "Love?" he asked, flinching when he saw your glare. "Whoa. Why? Why are you mad?" he asked, confused by your behaviour. You sighed, "Nothing," you grumbled, hating the way your hair brushed against your neck. Hyunjin tilted his head, normally at this point, he would contact for back up but he decided to confront you alone. "Don't you want to tell Papa what's wrong? Maybe Papa has a solution," he coaxed, grabbing your sippy cup and filling it with juice.  Your anger wavered briefly, "Fuck off with that, I can handle my own problems," you said, looking away. Hyunjin gulped but remained calm, "Aww, but doesn't Papa always help you, hm?" he asked, noticing your eyes flicker. You lowered your head, "Don't want it," you mumbled, fidgeting with your fingers. Hyunjin smirked, "Fine then, Papa will just use your sippy cup. This juice tastes very yummy," he said, turning around. "Papa," you whimpered, jutting your bottom lip when Hyunjin knew you slipped.

Han Jisung

"Sweetheart, I'm home," Jisung sang, walking down the hallway. You groaned, "Shut the fuck up," you huffed, staring at him. Jisung flinched, "Is something wrong? Did I forget something?" he asked, reaching out to rub your shoulders but you slapped his hand away. Jisung's jaw dropped, "Okay. What the fuck was that?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. You bit your tongue, “Nothing, just go away," you grumbled, clenching your hands into fists.  Jisung eyed your behaviour, "You know I can't help you if you aren't communicating right?" he said, guessing what's pissing you off. You rolled your eyes, "I don't need your help. Why is it so hard to leave me alone," you said, tearing up in frustration. Jisung sighed, "Do you want a hug? Or is that too much?" he asked, not wanting to make you uncomfortable. You sniffled, "Hug, please," you said, opening your arms. Jisung held you tight, "Silly little baby. Next time just tell Appa, hm?" he chuckled, rubbing your back.

Lee Felix

Felix's eyes widened at your glare, "Is everything okay?" he asked, careful with his words. You scoffed, "What do you think?" you asked, clenching your jaw. Felix squinted at you, "I think you're pissed off and I don't know why," he said, patting your head. You glared at him harder, furrowing your eyebrows so hard that your headache. "Do you want to talk about it?" Felix asked, seeing the frustration on your face. You rolled your eyes, "I don't know, do I?" you sarcastically asked.  Felix scoffed, pressing his tongue against his inner cheek, "I don't like that tone of yours, sunbeam," he warned, crossing his arms. You looked away from him, "Not my problem," you scowled, puffing your cheeks. Felix chuckled, "Isn't it now?" he asked, thinking of a punishment that would make you crumble. You stuck your tongue at him in response. "That's it, no more desserts and that includes brownies for you," he said, holding your jaw. Your eyes widened, "That's not fair," you whined. He smirked, "It definitely is," he said, patting your cheek.

Kim Seungmin

Seungmin raised an eyebrow at your glare, "What the fuck is your problem?" he asked, crossing his arms. You rolled your eyes, "None of your business," you grumbled, ignoring him. Seungmin glared back at you. "Are you sure you want to misbehave?" he asked, wondering if you were faking your attitude. You scoffed, "How is this misbehaving, Bitch?" you cursed, clenching your jaw.  Seungmin chuckled, finding your behaviour endearing, "Aww, the sweet munchkin decided to act up today, huh?" he said, grabbing a handful of your hair and tugging it upwards. You scowled, turning your hair to try to bite his wrist. Seungmin cooed, "Stupid little thing still thinks that they're scary," he said, gripping your hair tighter. You whimpered at the hold, tears welding in your eyes. "That's better. You should really know your place, munchkin," he chuckled, kissing your forehead. 

Yang Jeongin

"Angel, I bought some ice cream," Jeongin said, walking towards you. "I don't want it," you said, glaring at him. Jeongin froze in place, furrowing his eyebrows at your tone, "Hm, that's not how you should be talking to me now is it," he said, staring you down. You looked him directly in the eyes, "I don't care," you said, rolling your eyes. Jeongin scoffed, pushing back his hair, "Did you eat?" he asked, crossing his arms. You groaned, "No. Why the fuck are you asking?" you asked, gritting your teeth.  Jeongin chuckled, taking out a cold popsicle from the bag, "Open," he said, unwrapping the ice cream. You glared at him and pressed your lips tight. Jeongin rolled his eyes and covered your nose with his free hand. You gasped for air "Fuc-" you said, getting cut off by the cold treat filling your mouth. Jeongin moved the stick in and out forcing you to suck on it, "That wasn't so hard now was it," he cooed, seeing you suckle on the popsicle with a smile.

I think autistic primarchs would present very differently than in a baseline human. Its so much easier to cover up or explain away.

Like if Mortarion goes semi- verbal, he still sounds normal. But very stilted for a primarch. Its different from when I can only maybe say three words at a time. Usually I can only go "I don't know" or "no", or "go away". For him it's still full length sentences, like "I think I just need to be alone now". That can easily be explained to be exhaustion. But in reality he can't vocalize anything more complex right now.

Guilliman has be scripting since a child but no one notices. He just has over 100 scripts memorized for any occasion. Any question or change in the conversation. He already has a script lined up. He's capable of memorizing it. Conversations happen so naturally, you can't even tell the difference.

Even the way they stim can be so different to a baseline. Probably in ways a baseline can't comprehend. Traits like increased pattern recognition are standard in a primarch. All primarchs are far more "higher functioning" than any baseline.

Being behind their brothers developmentally by a few weeks is nothing compared to a baseline. What's walking at two months when most humans are closer to a year old when they start. Sure the other primarchs were walking much sooner. Some right out of the pod. But they often reached adulthood far sooner than any human. What constitutes a development delay to a primarch. If an apothecary can't tell what's a high blood pressure level in Guilliman. How can you tell?

Exhaustion that so many autistic face is so off from a baseline. They need less sleep. They can go through periods without rest for far longer. I think in cases like Mortarion, he can just push through an autistic burnout. Sure he's a bit more irritable, among other things. But hey, the point of a shutdown won't hit him till a few decades later. So therefore he must have high energy levels then even his brothers. Despite the toll on his mental health. Plus their recovery times are far shorter. Guilliman needs just a few days to feel normal after a year long campaign after all. Doesn't matter how he was acting prior. Any strange behavior can be hand waved away.

Mental conditioning can be used to suppress sensory overload. No point in having your super solider curl up screaming because he has super hearing. And you threw him into an active warzone. Lets make sure you can't process that information in way that would harm you. (Plus I think as a rule primarchs have a tendency to be more sensory seeking than sensory avoidant.)

Hell even their positions in the imperial society could make it easier to mask. If Perturabo wants something done in a certain way, you are going to do it that way. You're just some 25 year old iron warrior or serf that needs to follow command. Plus you don't know best compared to a primarch.

Of course they mask in typical ways. Mortarion hasn't rocked when upset since he was young. Because Nacrae told him that he should avoid such weakling behavior. Or still show more obvious traits like Dorn's flatter speaking style. (IDK how true this is but everyone says this and I'm not too familiar with Dorn to say otherwise.)

Also I like to imagine that the Emperor intentionally placed Autism into some of his designer babies. Thinking he could "avoid all the negatives but only gain those traits that would benefit them greatly." Only for his patience to slowly be drained. Like Perturabo having a meltdown while Dorn is trying to get the two of them to work together. But he's lost the ability to mask what little he does. And is just going, "We are to conclude this activity in an hour. I have to calibrate the ships sensors in an hour and half. You have already wasted 10 minutes. We must refocus so we can conclude in an hour..."

The problem start when understanding what's going on under the surface. Or when you start comparing them to their brothers. But hey you're below understanding what a primarch is thinking. And all the primarchs are little off. They're demigods. What makes these one's so different. Doesn't help they themselves won't consider it themselves. Or even be insulted by the implication. I'm not an invalid. Don't be ridiculous.

(I used Perturabo, Dorn, and Guilliman here because they're the common ones head cannoned as autistic. I went with Mortarion as well because I decided to just go with it. I know him the best. Plus this is all just headcannon. Just to be clear. Reasoning being his kids tend to present with a flat personality anyways. Also heard Mortarion was always behind his brothers, so developmental delays?? Idk yet where they got that in lore yet. Trying to get through all the books is a lot. Plus his other strange behaviors. But it could just be poor socialization as a child mixed with mental illness. Could also just be all three too. But more than these four could be autistic is my point. Sorry if this post was rambling or unclear. Or if anyone has done this before. I just wanted to get my thoughts out on the subject.)

random assorted headcanons for Turbo because I like thinking and having fun !!!! 🎉

Read More to Find Out...or are you too scared?... i bet ur too scared ahaha youre too scared Lol! Hahaahaaa!!!

The steering wheel of his kart is covered in bite marks, similar to how one would bite their favorite pencil. he bites things to mark his territory because Nobody is gonna touch that unless they want all of his diseases (150+).

i just know he was fighting to restrain himself not to chew on any of the candy civilians

when it comes to music, he doesn't see the point of listening to it. he doesn't have enough patience to really take it in; to him, it's just a thing that exists and not much more than that ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ∵⁠ )⁠_⁠/⁠¯

adding onto that point, this guy listens to metal clanking sounds and loud engine roaring for entertainment because he likes things that would overstimulate any normal person. turbo is incredibly sensory-seeking and will do anything for The Sensations

someone should take him to a heavy rock concert i think it would change him a little. keep that thang on a leash

related to being sensory-seeking, i think he would absolutely love running his hands over random textures. if anyone has run their hands along a wall while walking alongside it...He does that...If u know u know... he is SO stimmy its unbelievable. Unreal.

very pain-tolerant. he'll whine and complain about it for attention, but physical hurt really doesnt bother him much until it gets in the way of what he wants to do.

funnily enough, he is very picky when it comes to temperature. he can handle getting ran over but if its 1° too hot or cold he'll start nagging and nagging for it to go back to normal. turbo really needs his own enclosure i think it'd do him a lot of good

this is a more popular headcanon and its canon-leaning, but he's an artist :-] he usually sticks to graffiti art because its generally considered more "rebellious and cool" but he also sketches cars, design decals, and other stuff when hes alone!

i would love to see his process of character designing king candy because i dont think he really knew what he was doing

he was just like "ok what does a generic king look like. uhhhhh.... 1, old and jolly like santa claus.... 2.... uhh crown..... 3......... purple.... FUCK YEAH im so good at this!!!!🔥🔥🔥"

i just noticed how his design has like 0 actual candy motifs aside from his bow being a candy wrapper and his shoes having those little gumdrop end pieces. what was he THINKING

while King Candy has a lisp, i think it's a coverup for his actual voice because of how goofy and recognizable it is. Overall its the same as his regular voice, he just gets silly with it. i noticed that he still does retain some of his lisp when hes screaming his lungs out at Vanellope, however, so maybe he genuinely does have a lisp that makes itself known when furious :3

another thing i noticed is how he hisses his S's. very cool very cool the reptilian

@/tasticturbo made a post abt how he has tinnitus from the constant noise in his game and i couldnt agree more

AND THE PRESCRIPTION GLASSES. where did he get those...he needs to See

side note, the aforementioned account has made so many interesting analyses on turbo and theyre all so insightful. i recommend u check them out

i think he gets migraines from stress. constant buzzing or pain flood his head but hes like "IDGAF i need to DO something at ALL TIMES no matter what"

hes like a shark in that way. if hes not moving he'll die instantly. idk a lot about sharks or if thats how it works srry but im going off of what the Worms are saying to me and i dont have much to work with

i think a really big contributer as to why he lacks in the self care department is because he fails to notice that something in his body is wrong. hes far too distracted on something he thinks is more important than remembering to Eat Food or Drink Water or Wash Himself or

he's like "WHY DO I FEEL LIKE SHIT ALL OF THE TIME!!! I HATE MY LIFE" and he hasn't slept in 4 days

hes so me. Sorry.

i dont think turbo is necessarily suicidal, but the way he behaves shows a clear disregard for his own safety and wellbeing. he thinks that he knows what he needs but he really doesnt :-[ i think he has some kind of immortality complex, feeling untouchable and like nothing could get to him. as scared as he was when ralph was about to turn him into sloppy mush, he didnt take the threat very seriously. like it was some kind of joke

his kart regenerates every time his game starts up, so what if he smashed it into buildings for fun. He's the number one fan of car accidents. he is all about that shit

i think his living space would literally be a garage btw. its a place to sleep and a space for his car all in one!! he thinks its very convenient and awesome but i think he is coping. he has some old dingy stained sheetless mattress that he has never washed in his life and its covered in dirt and smoke particles. no wonder he has such heavy eye bags Dude Please

the turbo twins have a garage used in a similar way, and while its still pretty shitty, they still at least TRY to maintain it. they just fight a lot over who has to care of it. nobody taught them how to take turns ever

but this aint about them. maybe another day

i think that turbo would find comfort in garbage and keeping it around because its familiar to him. a big clean empty space would make him so mad and if anyone moves even an inch of scrap off to the side he will throw a fit. he generally doesnt pay attention to his surroundings but when its his personal space he is 1093 times more neurotic

i think the big empty castle he stole wouldve been a big transition for him. maybe it helped him clear his mind a little more to practice his tricky schemes...it helped him get more subtle

thats all i have for nowww ty for reading ^_^ if anyone else has any wacky ideas pleeeease tell me i would love to hear them!!

Disability Swag Summit 2!!

The Swag Summit is back!

Now with some improvements.

I’ve added different categories to display and represent a wider array of characters and disabilities throughout the competition.

Also, since my goal is representation, you can submit any character with disabilities as major or “minor” as you want.

Also, head canons and coding are allowed, just mark them as such in the form.

The categories go as follows:

Motor

Here go characters with movement disabilities, like paralysis, missing a limb, or not being able to coordinate your body. Here go people with club foot, Parkinson’s, flat feet, dyspraxia, tic related disabilities, cerebral palsy, paraplegia, amputees, mobility aid users, etc.

Visceral

Here go characters with disabilities related to their internal organs, endocrine system, immune system, amongst other systems inside of your body. Disabilities in this category may include asthma, autoimmune disorders, allergies, chronic pain, diabetes, PCOS, fibromyalgia, IBS, skin conditions, amongst others.

Sensory

Here go characters with disabilities related to their senses, be it sight (blindness, colour blindness, cataracts, astigmatism, photosensitivity, etc), touch/pain (CIPA, Hyposthesia, Dysesthesia, etc.), hearing (deafness, being hard of hearing, etc), smell (anosmia, phantosmia, etc), taste (Ageusia, Hypogeusia, etc) or a combination of different senses (like synesthesia).

Speech

Pretty straight forward, disabilities related to speech, be it selective mutism, speech impediments, full on mutism or other speech related disabilities.

Physical differences

Catch all term for people who were born or developed some sort of physical difference. Idk if it counts as a disability, but we’re looking to represent as many people as possible here so. Here go people who are missing limbs, visible organs or pretty much any body part, people who use prosthetics, people with extra body parts (that are actually not normally supposed to be there, don’t fill this category with bug people and aliens) people with deformities, scars, conjoined twins, little people, people with gigantism, etc.

Neurodivergent

Since different types of Neurodivergencies overlap so much, I feel like separating them would make my job 10 times more difficult, so I decided to lump together Cognitive, Info-processing, Psycosocial, Learning, and other mental disabilities. Here go characters with Autism, Dementia, DID, Schizophrenia, brain damage, PTSD, OCD, Tourette’s, dyslexia, etc.

Other

Those who do not fit under other categories, be it because I forgot, because it’s not really categorizable or because it’s a fantasy disability (if the fantasy disability is close enough to one of the other categories, put it there too for good measure).

And finally

Rules!

1- No real people. Live action characters are fine, but I feel kinda uncomfortable putting actual real living (or historical) human beings here. Maybe you can submit a disabled real animal if you want, but no people.

2- Preferably positive or neutral representation, please. As in, I rather not see blatantly ableist media represented here, there’s better representation out there, but if you really have to, I guess do whatever you want.

3- Be civil. This is for fun and not to be taken seriously. If you manage to spark drama or harassment out of this silly and fun competition, you are going to the dungeon.

4- Don’t make submissions in the asks. The asks are for questions and propaganda, make your submissions in the form.

5- Propaganda is allowed and highly encouraged! Either share it in the asks, at @eddies-disability-swag-blog or tag it as #disability swag summit

6- Should go without saying, but, like, bigotry is cringe, so, like, don’t do it?

Anyways, here’s the form! Submit away!

The Form will close on December 25 (May be earlier or later depending on the number of submissions), so make sure to submit your blorbos by then!

[garbbitch]

I love your writing, here and on Wattpad! It’s really good and I feel like you cover a lot of topics that should be covered!!

I have a request for your Julien one-shot book! Could you write one where the reader is super overwhelmed/overstimulated and Julien helps them?? Thank you so much if you can!!!

sure!!

julien x femme reader with sensory processing issues

a lot of this is based on myself, so if it doesn't match what you had in your mind... sorry? idk

also, i've noticed i write a lot of femme stuff, i mostly do that cause i am femme and i don't really know how the world interacts with people who aren't femme. if that makes sense

i'm imagining this as femme reader and julien at a mall or something thats pretty loud and crowded cause julien has an party, event, concert etc that shes going to and reader instantly got super excited and wanted to help her pick out an outift.

on the way to the mall reader is super excited, maybe even happy stimming, happy that their getting to spend time with julien, helping her pick out an outfit, and getting to shop.

depsite all your happy excited energy julien has two pairs of your headphones on her, a pair of noise cancelling ones that go over your head and a little pair of in-ear headphones for you just in case.

"baby, you know we can leave the mall whever you want, right?" she says gently, looking over at you as you tap your hands on your knees.

"i know, but, i don't wanna leave till we get an outift you like for (insert event of your choosing)." you said quickly, something you did when you're excited. your knees started to bounce a little as she pulled into the parking lot, which was already super packed. you toyed with a fidget ring she got you a couple months ago before you came to a boygenius show. (i fuckin love those things, they're great)

"alright, baby. we'll do the best we can. right?" she said gently as she turned the car off. you nodded. you started to get out of the car but she rushed around to your side to open the door for you *forever chivalrous*. you giggled as you got out of the car, holding her hand.

"where are we going first, love?" she asked as you walked hand in hand towards the entrance, she knows you had been looking forward to this all week. you had made a little route in your head you wanted to follow as closely as you could, not wanting to walk back and forth around the mall, avoiding areas that get super crowded (the food court and any areas that are seating areas).

you walked over to the map to make sure that your route was going to work the way you wanted it to. you held her hand as you looked over the map. she pulled you a little closer, putting her arm around your waist. your hair was in low space buns and you were wearing a denim skirt and a crop top. this was typically your go-to. something you felt comfy in. and your hairstyle kept your hair off your back and comfy.

"i was thinking we'll go here first," you pointed to a shop that was on the map, "then we could swing by this place, " you pointed to another one, moving a little quick for julien to keep up with as you moved your finger across the map to all the different shops you wanted to go into. she traced small shapes on your waist as you talked her through your plan. she knew how frustrated you got when your plans didn't go the way you wanted them to.

"sounds great, baby" she said gently, she let you lead the way. you excitedly walked through the mall. she gently guided you when you were so focused on getting to the little shop that you almost bumped into someone, or something.

"careful, babes" she said gently as she guided you around a plant in the middle of the floor.

"there shouldn't be a plant there, it's in the way" you grumbled and she chuckled and kissed your cheek.

"i know, baby. but there is, so be careful for me? please?" she said softly. you nodded.

you reached the first store that you had picked out, they had a lot of more masc clothes that you knew julien would like. as you guys walked closer you realized that it was super crowded. like, way more crowded than you planned for. she clocked it immidiately.

"we can skip this one, baby." she said softly. you toyed with your ring.

"no, it's fine. i think you'll really like these clothes. i want you to at least look at them." you spoke quickly. she decided to not push you too far off your plan and gently guided you in. not only was this store really crowded but it also had music playing really loud (think hollister type stores). she gently rubbed the small of your back.

as you attempted to walk through the store to find some stuff for julien to try on you started to get a little overwhelmed by everything. there wasn't anything that you thought julien would like, people kept bumping into you, the music felt like it was way too loud. and the flouresent lights of the store started to make your head hurt. your clothes started to feel too tight, hugging you in the worst way, you pulled on the hem of your crop top in an attempt to get it off your skin for a moment.

"baby, look at me." she said gently. you did, your eyes brimmed with tears. "you want your headphones?" she asked softly, she didn't touch you. she knew sometimes that did more harm than good. you toyed with your fidget ring. you didn't say anything. she gently guided you out of the store, she wanted to find a quiet spot for you. she could tell you were trying to relax, shaking your hands, rubbing palms on your arms and upper thighs. (idk it helps me out)

"y/n, my love, look at me please?" she said softly, she gently guided you into a family bathroom, the ligthing was a little softer on your eyes.

you looked at her, your eyes brimmed with tears. she gently touched your shoulder.

"hon, look at me, it's ok... you're ok" she spoke in a soft tone.

"the plan... the store... nothing's working." you mumbled as tears rolled down your cheeks.

"i know, princess. it's ok..." she said softly, she hugged you. this helped you relax a little. your hands still shook.

"do you want to go home?" she asked softly. you shook your head and she looked at you confused.

"need to get you a-an outfit." you said softly. she shook her head.

"it can wait. lets get you home and comfy." she said softly. you nodded. as you walked out of the restroom she held kept her hand on the small of your back, trying really hard to not overstimulate you further.

she was quick to get you in the car, your hands still shook.

she drove relatively quickly back to your house. a few times cars honked around you and it made you flinch and cover your ears even though you were wearing headphones.

"i know, lovey... we're almost home, ok?" she said gently, she wanted to figure out anyway to soothe you but she also didn't wanna accidentally make it worse.

she helped you out of the car, you were still shaking a bunch. she helped you get in, kneeling down in front of you to help you get your shoes off of you. (shoes are so fucking overstimulating omg)

"baby, do you want to change into something more comfy?" she asked gently. you didn't say anything. your eyes were squeezed shut and your hands were curled into little fists.

"baby.." she said softly, she gently touched your cheek. you jerked away from her touch, still too overstimulated for any touch.

"do you wanna sit down?" she asked gently. you said nothing, she didn't take it personally. she knew you had a tendency to just shut down when you felt overstimulated like this.

"i'm gonna go grab you something comfy, ok?" she said softly, she went into yalls bedroom and grabbed a misprinted boygenius hoodie that was big on you.

she came back to find you sitting on the arm of the couch, you were shaking less but you still had your eyes closed and your headphones on.

"you ok, lovey?" she asked gently. you nodded slowly.

"a-are the lights off?" you asked softly. she gently touched your hands, they weren't balled into fists anymore.

"mmhmm... there's only a little lamp on, i can turn that off too if you want." she said gently. you opened your eyes slowly.

"hi..." she said softly, you smiled a little.

"you wanna change into this hoodie?" she asked gently, holfing up the oversized boygenius hoodie. you nodded. she helped you out of your top and skirt, ordinarily this would be something vaugely sexual but she took this very seriously, checking in with you every step of the way.

"you ok?" she asked as you pulled the hoodie on. you nodded and then took your hair out of its hair clip (i cant explain it but ts is so overstimulating for me).

"you look pretty, baby" she said softly, you blushed and reached for her.

"'m sorry for freaking out in the store." you said softly. she gently put her hands on your waist.

"you don't need to apologize, baby... really, you did so good..." she said softly. you nodded

"want some tea? or to lay down?" she asked softly.

"yeah... i-i can make it." you said softly. she kissed your cheek gently.

"i'll make it.. you can come sit with me though." she said gently. you smiled.

"that's what i like to see." she said softly.

the rest of the day you and julien drank some calming tea and cuddled. eventually you put on silly movies like 'but im a cheerleader'.

Since Gojo's schedule has come out, I think the realest reason he wore a blindfold was sleep deprivation.

Sleep deprivation makes sensory issues (photophobia, etc) even worse. More sensitive to light and sound, compromised processing, etc. It's amazing that he could use such a delicate technique on three hours of sleep.

I still think the blindfold would allow for more coverage and for the pressure of it to feel good, a pressure stim for comfort and headache relief etc etc

But also, if Gojo wears a blindfold all the time, he's able to fall asleep during meetings without it being noticeable. Maybe his RCT gets past the need for involuntary microsleeps (part of the brain goes to sleep, but you're still awake). Idk. But we know from the beginning of s2 that Gojo fell asleep after summoning the first years.

I used to headcanon that Gojo takes naps whenever he can because of his sensory issues, but God, I didn't expect him to be so chronically busy.

It makes me a bit more upset that Yuki wouldn't take missions - with Geto gone (he did contribute to eliminating curses while he was alive, although separate from jujutsu society), Yuuta only a student (I wonder why Gojo sent him off with Miguel. I imagined that it was an emotional decision, but maybe Gojo was still trying to protect Yuuta from the higher ups? Idk. (I havent read the light novels yet, so if the answer is out there pls lmk). Wouldn't Gojo have it easier if Yuuta is being sent on missions as well? There were only 4 special grade sorcerers. It was only Geto and Gojo going after them for ten years - and now Gojo is left on his own. Why ajcjskqllcldq

Another blindfold benefit is that if Gojo cries, no one will see it. He can just take it off and put a dry one on. It's so hard to be emotionally stable on no sleep, and he isn't one to sit down and process his emotions (like he was ever given the time or tools for that).

The hyper, stupid way that he acts all the time makes so much sense now. It isn't just masking, it's a sleep deprived attempt at being lively and social.
