@nutmegan17 on tiktoks eating tray hack

By keeping a tray full of no prepare necessary food, in the fridge it can be used to aid neurodivergent or fatigued people.

By putting food like, cheese and crackers, or whatever is a safe food for you personally on the tray, it can be taken easily to the couch or bed to be eaten from whenever you are hungry.

This prevents executive dysfunction or fatigue and any reason preventing you from eating. You need to care of yourself because everyone needs food to stay alive including you.

You deserve to eat even when on a bad brain day and are unable to prepare a meal for yourself.

If not having a full meal doesn't satisfy you, a snack may even give you the energy to make a full meal afterwards!

autistic life hack if you need your food prepared a specific way and your needs aren't being listened to as an adult, pretend you have an autistic kid you are ordering for as people are more sympathetic to helping autistic caretakers than actual autistic people

@kaelynn_vp Tiktok Caption: The key to good communication with autistic people is to be direct. You'll always get a better response from us when we actually know what you want.

[thatadhdmood]

an eloquent take down of the "people are self diagnosing autism to be trendy and for attention" take that morons have been echoing on tiktok

[video description is the reblogs, its very long]

Non autistic actors playing autistic characters suck as depictions of autism because they are playing an autistic character, rather than autistic character who is masking as a neurotypical

in the same way when trying to act drunk for a play, you would want to act like your trying to be sober, because effort into acting sober is what drunk people are doing

in that same way when playing an autistic character there is a whole second level of who is this character masking themself to be

ID: Two white people in hats are in what appears to be a workshop. One is in a green shirt, the other in a backwards cap. Green shirt says: "We're just sitting here, two autistic guys-"

Backwards cap cuts the green shirted one off as the camera switches to a loose pile of bolts. They say: "-Looking at a pile of bolts, wondering how much fun it would be to sort them."

Green shirt as the camera switches back to them: "Dude, if you give us a ball and a couple tupperware containers, oh my god."

Backwards cap as the camera switches back to the bolts: "Let the 'tism run wild."

Green shirt, as the camera zooms in and out on the bolts: "Oh, the tism would be so involved." /end ID

i would be in that pile bolts for hours. when i was a kid my mum used to give me her change from all the different countries shed be going to, cause her eyes were bad and id sort that shit for her and it was so fun <3 soothes the tism

stitch explains how using, "the sensation emotions wheel" made by Lindsay Brahman to understand our physical sensations as clues for our emotions, can help with a lack of interoception autistics have

This chore system actually looks really helpful!

[thatadhdmood]

Working with Autism PDA (pathologic demand avoidance) by "strewing" (setting up an activity that u want to do for your later self even thought PDA wont do it right now)

Doing this removes barriers from doing the activity for later when the stress and pressure to do it has released without executive dysfunction of setting up the activity

Autistic superiority ideas are just as popular as they are problematic

[thatadhdmood]

Despite what some autistic statistics might have you believe, people like Colby aren't rare. We shouldn't let those who cannot participate in online advocacy to be erased from the community they helped build.
