I Want That Shirt

Improve your chew! [Image description: There’s a very handsome but sad looking teddy bear to the right. Next to him are two bottles of essential oils: one of them is grapefruit and the other is cardamom. In front of the bottles is a chewable necklace: it’s in the shape of a pink fox curled up cozy for a peaceful snooze. End of image description] Chews carefully! I wanted to chew, but could not get used to the lack of flavor. So here’s my news: I found I can put a drop of essential oil and rub it over the chew toy. These are my favorites: grapefruit and cardamom. You might also like peppermint. Be careful to test a drop of the oil maybe on the back of your hand to make sure you are not allergic to anything in it. And I advise using only a drop per toy; even then, probably wipe it with a paper towel, since the oils are not designed for eating! Added benefit: you get some aroma therapy if you are placing oil on a chewable necklace. Teddy bears are optional, but highly recommended

it’s noble to put others first, but remember that if you don’t take care of yourself you won’t be any use to anyone. If you disable yourself then someone has to take care of you!

Autistic culture is taking care of your friends even when you can’t take care of yourself.

Ah so romantic

Getting ahead of myself

So it’s Monday evening and I say to myself: Good grief, it’s already Wednesday! It seems that way because I’m thinking: tomorrow I’ll have to start worrying about my Japanese class, which meets on Wednesday evening; but with that thought I realize that I’m already worrying about it now. So Tuesday is already part of Wednesday, and so is Monday. And that’s how the timeline collapses.

Czy pani mowi po polski?

hyperfixation: *jaws theme*

Any other autistic people start singing when they can’t get their words out properly?

I’ve always found it easier to just sing what I was going to say when my brain craps out, and apparently your brain uses different parts for singing and speech, so I’m wondering if it’s just me.

Poor excuse

I could have been a great success...if only I had been someone else.

me: *gets scared that i’m wasting my life* me: i’m gonna deal with this feeling by taking a long nap in the middle of the day

Lovely!
