- They say to "just be yourself," but it's never that simple when you're a high-masking autistic person... #Autism #Autistic #ActuallyAutistic #AutismAwareness substack.com/@mindspiralm...
- I would love to travel and go new places and see new things! But being #autistic, I know that can be incredibly overwhelming and anxiety inducing for me. So, I have to decide - how important is traveling? Is it worth the meltdowns I know I'll have? #ActuallyAutistic #AutismAwareness #Autism
- This thread! I definitely analyze everything to try and make the best decision! This can frustrate people around me sometimes, and I often get told to "stop overthinking everything." But for me, I'm not overthinking. It's just how my brain works. #ActuallyAutistic #AutismAwareness #Autism
- As a high-masking #autistic, whenever I'm in public and am trying to suppress a meltdown, I dig my fingernails into my palm/arm as hard as I can without breaking the skin. I also didn't realize this was a form of self-harm. I use it as a form of regulation. #AutismAwareness #ActuallyAutistic
- Be kind to people with chronic illnesses. Just because someone might look “fine,” doesn't mean they actually feel fine. You have no idea how much they might be hiding. #ChronicIllness #Disability #DisabilityAwareness #InvisibleIllness
- When you have a chronic illness, even the good days aren't truly "good" days. I can't remember what it feels like to actually feel healthy. There is always something still causing me to not feel good, even on my best days. #ChronicIllness #Disability #DisabilityAwareness
- Not every day feels brave. But some days, just believing things can get better IS the brave part. #DailyAffirmations #Quotes #Affirmations #DailyQuotes #Inspiration #MentalHealth #SelfCare #Motivation #SelfGrowth #PositiveVibes #Courage #Hope #Encouragement #Disability #ChronicIllness #Autistic
