I think I'm still mourning the loss of 30 odd years it took to get diagnosed with autism.

Just thinking about the life I could've had if it got seen sooner.

Late diagnosis suuuuuck but it's good I got to know maybe when I finish mourning I can finally live?

Sometimes, I'll feel sick and weird for ages, get really moody and confused. I'll even start panicking like I'll probably have some random disease and then suddenly, hours later, I'll realise that I'm actually too warm.

One of the best things my county library system ever did was get rid of late fees and renew automatically. I will get a book planning to "start it soon," and then one day I realize it has been sitting on my table for 8 weeks. 🤪 #autismthings

I forgot the word for stim, and my brain was like, "that autistic thing". Which like no, brain. That's no...either way one of my vocal stims is "happy birthday". #Autistic #autismthings

Lost my water bottle so obviously had a meltdown. #AutismThings

mfw you extract a meaning out of what I said that is different than what I said

I don’t think I’d be so burned out if being around people didn’t feel like setting myself on fire. #AutismThings
