Emily Moran Barwick<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/@alice" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>alice</span></a></span> This is so challenging to explain. It was even hard to validate for myself—I masked and passed so well I even fooled myself! </p><p>It’s the double-edged sword of passing. To “make it” through this world, we have to continually behave in ways damaging to our neurology. Yet when we are struggling with the impact of masking/passing, it’s confusing (or even doubted) given we “seem so together.”</p><p>Feels like an impossible bind sometimes. What a world if we could just be our fully <a href="https://social.lol/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> selves 😊</p>
spika<p>All of my life, I've struggled and suffered with intense headaches that would seemingly come out of nowhere, and when I'd remove myself for whatever I was doing and take a rest... They would dissipate just as quickly and if I wasn't able to remove myself, I'd get really frustrated and upset because of the pain of the headache. </p><p>At some point in my journey of realizing I'm likely autistic, I realized that the headaches I'd experienced all my life were actually due to overstimulation. </p><p>However, it took me a long time to realize this because in all of the discussion and descriptions of overstimulation that I'd seen online from the actually autistic community, I don't really remember headache specifically being named as a way overstimulation can manifest. </p><p>So, I'm curious... How does overstimulation manifest for you? Do you get headaches when you're overstimulated or are their other warning signs you notice? Do you notice you're overstimulated before you're at the point of meltdown?<br> <br><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyautistic</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span></p>
Arthur :RainbowInfinity:<p>I often feel invisible. Wherever I am, it's as if no one notices me. It happens in both the offline and online world. No one is interested in communicating with me. It's frustrating. It's also why I feel like a unicorn, since no one has ever seen it either.</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodivergent</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Neurodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Depression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Depression</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Anxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Anxiety</span></a></p>

Troggie<p>Another 8 minutes on the treadmill. I think I need to start timing the recovery process because my brain tells me I’m going to feel absolutely awful. </p><p>I do. I feel out of control, exhausted, in pain, breathless, sweaty and uncomfortable… for maybe 5 minutes? Probably less. </p><p>So I need to remind myself that this phase is temporary and I will feel fine after it. Because I do. </p><p>But for some reason my brain focuses on that few minutes as a reason not to move in the first place. <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/FattyFitness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FattyFitness</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a></p>

the_adventures_of_an_introvert<p>Happy birthday to my mum! 🎊🎂</p><p>I am eternally grateful for her unconditional love and support. Mum was my biggest cheerleader during my journey through the education system. She did not give up on me even when I struggled during my adolescence. My grades nosedived and I had to repeat a couple of years at university. I was totally lost, but her belief in me never wavered.</p><p>When I was withdrawn and struggling socially, she arranged for me to do some voluntary work. This helped to build my confidence at a time when I needed it the most. She has always encouraged me to do charitable deeds and to do what I can to help other people.</p><p>When I took an interest in travelling, she joined me on many trips. At a time when my peers were going on boozy holidays with their friends, I was exploring the planet with my mother... and I wouldn't have had it any other way! If you have read any of my books, you will know that she was willing to accompany me when visiting some far-flung places 🌎</p><p>I will always appreciate what Mum has done for me. Have a great day! You deserve it ❤️</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/happybirthday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>happybirthday</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/mum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mum</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/love" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>love</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergent</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/AudHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AudHD</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/anxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anxiety</span></a></p>
🅰🅻🅸🅲🅴 (🌈🦄)<p>Individuals with ASD who are more adept at hiding externally visible behaviors (due to social pressure to conform) will often have developed mechanisms for presenting more neurotypically, but their experience of it doesn't change. For example, I can shake someone's hand, look them in the eyes, and make some small-talk at a conference, but I'm dying inside the whole time—it's so uncomfortable. I don't like strangers touching me. I don't like touching people I don't have a close relationship to. But a lifetime of having to "pass" for interviews, events, etc. has made me "able" to (perhaps convincingly).</p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a></p>
SleepyCatten<p>Just thinking about how our neurotype (AuDHD) reflects the non-human¹ animals we identify with the most. </p><p>We're autistic plus combined type ADHD, with most of our ADHD stat points invested into inattentiveness, rather than hyperactivity...</p><p>... so it makes sense that we're pretty much an eepy cat that has occasional zoomies, with some fox qualities (embodied by a headmate) blended in for good measure.</p><p><a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/CatGirl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CatGirl</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/CatFoxGirlCombo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CatFoxGirlCombo</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/plural" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>plural</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/TherianAdjacent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TherianAdjacent</span></a></p><p>¹ Specifying that, as <strong>SO</strong> many people still forget, don't realise, or deny that humans are animals.</p>

César Pose<p>Many of the things humanity has achieved that are considered great have been completely useless and done out of boredom. Like reaching the moon and the stupid obsession with founding a colony on Mars. An immature idiot got stuck in a childhood loop, dreaming of interstellar travel and conquests like his favorite video game, and dragging along legions of idiots like himself.

Even if you don't play games, there might be a community around one of your other interests - and if it's a "strange" enough interest, some of that community might be autistic (even if they don't know it)! Meanwhile, I second the recommendation of <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyautistic</span></a>. I have different issues from yours, but there have been so many times that someone in that group has mentioned something, and I've thought, wow! Someone gets it!</p>
Arthur :RainbowInfinity:<p>One of the biggest problems in my life, which also causes me depression, is loneliness. </p><p>I am 30 years old and I have had practically no friends my whole life. I only had a few short-term online friendships that disappeared over time. I currently have two female friends, but they also do not live in my area. </p><p>But I feel the greatest loneliness regarding relationships. So far, I have only had one 2.5-year relationship, which ended 7 years ago. Since then, I have had trouble finding someone, and it is almost impossible for me. Lately, I feel so bad about it that I don't even want to live anymore. And the longer this loneliness lasts, the worse it gets. Moreover, I don't see a way out of this situation, since I have trouble dating. </p><p>But more about that in another post next time.</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodivergent</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Neurodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Depression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Depression</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Anxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Anxiety</span></a></p>
BlackPixelDust: Art :autism:<p>This gal was saying that the anime convention did some things that weren't beneficial for artists. Like, the convention was trying to grow too fast by getting a bigger venue and double the number of artists in Artist Alley.<br>Apparently a fair number of artists only broke even at Anime Weekend Atlanta of 2025?</p><p>Usually the smaller the artist alley, the more friendly the artist neighbors are? It's kinda motivating for me to create my own pins and stickers.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/anime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anime</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/artwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>artwork</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a></p>
