A question for the #autistic older teens, or adults here, if anyone can reply about: If you yourself went through ARFID therapies, can you tell me what you think of them, and if they helped? I ask because I'm trying to find good help for my 16 yr old, who's ARFID is starving him again.
๐จHUGE EARLY BIRD SAVING
Join us on 22 June for a 3-hour online event bringing together leading experts to explore how to distinguish #ARFID from typical #autistic eating patterns, when to intervene, & how to adapt evidence-based approaches.

Please do not let anyone dismiss autistic shutdowns, meltdowns, or other signs of distress as "just autistic behaviors."
Instead, please do your best to determine the legitimate sensory, environmental, social, communication, or medical issue behind the distress.

So, I said one thing about something scratchy. Today I am bringing up something soft and soothing. After my car accident, I asked friend for sweat pants so they wouldn't hurt my bruises. My friend @enigmakairos.bsky.social brought me bounce fleece from Old Navy. It is as soft as clouds. #autistic

Ever had one of those days where, it's been so frelling long that you've forgotten what it's like to not be in burnout but you're also just mad at everything because there's no way out of burnout?
No official diagnosis & your GP threw out the preliminary test that said [โฆ]
Allistics seem to build alternative "realities" for each other, because they can't bear the thought of someone not liking their shirt, so they pretend that everybody likes everyones shirt. #ActuallyAutistic #Autistic
Mercury is happy, and is wearing a red long-sleeve shirt with a rainbow infinity print on it. He also wears the Asexual Pride pin.

So do you think #ADHD/ #autistic people avoid crowds?
I'm 37 and I prefer to be in the woods alone!

As an autistic in my fourties I'd have to say this is a good lifelong reset guide honestly. Life is heavy and deep breaths, stretches, water breaks are important yet forgotten under duress. #autistic
TY so much! I would love to see & repost that. Iโm autistic and have been so dysregulated lately, I didnโt feel I could attend any #NoKings events safely. Your virtual event was so #Inclusive, I felt I could fully participate in a rally 4 #GoodScience, which has particular resonance 4 me. #Autistic

Sharing youngest's autism recognition and people have been sorry to hear it.
This is part of why I have not shared mine.
Being autistic is not something to be sorry for. We are not to be pitied.

When a topic grabs me, I do not set it down for meals or sleep or because it is a reasonable hour to stop working. I lock in. Eighteen hours will pass, and I will look up from my screen and realize I forgot to eat.

People talk about object permanence with regards to #adhd, but #autistic people can have it too. I think in my case it's more about not adding more stimulus than what I have around me. This also makes me terrible at social media btw.

Weird, or just because of the state of the world.

I know also this isn't just #autistic but also common for #ADHD (and of course #AuDHD) people: listening to the same song over and over and over.
I suppose this is a little less Weird and more just, unusual, since no one saw it as as bad thing, but hyperlexia is also common for #autistic people. I taught myself to read when I was 3, and I was hyperverbal fairly young, and the adults in my life wrote it off as me being "smart."
For example -
Things I didn't realize were common for #autistic people:
Really loving a very very hot shower.
I guess this is related to sensory seeking (us autistic people both can be sensory avoiding or sensory seeking, sometimes regarding the same sense!)
