Sensory Issues - Blog Posts

Went over to a cute trans girls house, only for her to force me to wash her dishes

Trying to have kinky sex while in a relationship where everyone has sensory issues is a struggle

No means no in any situation. I wish people would stop assuming and crossing boundaries because of what comfort looks like to them.

pls pls pls pls plsss respect when people don't want to be touched. that goes for family too.

anyone else get imposter syndrome about having sensory issues? like the thought that goes something like 'oh i can't possibly have sensory issues this is a normal reaction to a bad smell/light/texture/sound' and shit like that? well i have the perfect solution!!!

get a sibling. they'll trigger every possible wrong thing in the world all at once and when you ask them to stop chewing with their mouth open THEY'LL DO IT LOUDER!!! AND YOU'LL GET CALLED TOO SENSITIVE!!!

you'd never guess it but the 'sens' in sensitive is the same as the one in 'sensory issues'

Edit: i fucking hate spell check

I HATE HAVING SENSORY ISSUES BECAUSE MY EYELASHES, I CAN FEEL THEM AHHGGGGGGG

Being a picky eater as an adult is so hard because I’m TRYING to expand my pallet, but every time I look up a recipe it’s like “this meal’s so quick and easy! It only takes 3 1/2 hours of prep, 6 hours of cook time, and 45 minutes to plate :) There are fifty ingredients, half of which you’ve literally never had in your life :) so if you don’t like this recipe or you forget to make it, I guess you’ll just have to throw out $50 worth of food that you have literally no other use for!! Have fun, super easy for new cooks, super fun and easy and quick :))))”

That's shit genuinely makes me recoil and tear my skin off

You know you're overstimulated when you're about to start crying over your pillows being at the wrong angle to sleep.

Note: Sound sensitivity isn't exclusive to autism, but is incredibly common in autistic people. It's also one of the difficulties that people often cannot understand and grossly underestimate if they do not experience it themselves. I'll repost this soon with visual descriptions (I'm currently sick with COVID-19). If you find anything I post helpful, please consider buying me a Ko-Fi.

Anyone else ever get frustrated at how a lot of autism and sensory related things are made for children? Sensory toys, fidgets, earmuffs, etc are always marketed as being for kids/babies. I got so excited when I found a site making "sensory/fidget friendly clothing", only to find almost everything was made only for kids. I even saw a sort of "sensory gym" thing that looked great, but you go to their website and its only for kids. I'm small, I enjoy kid-related things, but come on. Autistic kids grow into autistic adults.

If I could communicate to people using only beeps and TV static I would. I hate verbal communication

got a new diagnosis

got diagnosed with an ED last night, so lets do some safe foods! (non body image based, spd based, although i do hate my body)

if a picky american child (6 years old) would eat it, there's a good chance i will too. name a food in the comments and i'll tell you if i'll eat it or not.

for consistently safe foods/meals:

strawberry smoothie and tortilla chips

grilled steak and rice

cucumber salad (chopped into quarters, with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and a lot of salt)

plain quesadilla (flour tortilla, mexican blend cheese. thats it)

mac+cheese and ground beef (not mixed together, i eat them separately)

and pretty much nothing else. my spice tolerance is that of a nordic viking. (but i don't eat fish. or any kind of seafood)

Sometimes I wonder if I’m actually autistic or if I’m making it up, but just now I hovered my cursor over the red bar on YouTube, and I very literally and physically felt the left side of my head buzz when the cursor was on the left side, and I was shivering until I put the cursor on the right side to balance it out, and only when I put the cursor in the middle did both sides of my head buzz at an equal frequency. Which I don’t think is normal.

Pls make the fireworks stop..I hate them

posting this..as someone with autism

fourth of July is a nightmare for me.

I'm trying to follow the racoons advice but the most impossible task rn is taking a shower.
