Skincare is sensory hell

hey fellow autistic babes how tf do i do skincare when it makes me want to die???? Sensory tips any1?? Rinsing my face feels like I'm drowning and having moisturizer near my nose and mouth makes me feel so gross. My skin is so bad and doing skincare is so hard on me i barely do it all or avoid it so hard I end up not even brushing my teeth(also sensory hell) or do other important routine shit. Can anyone else out there relate?

Another episode of "How fucked up is my brain?"

Today was a very good day, weatherly speaking.

Unfortunately, this neuro divergent ass couldn't enjoy it BECAUSE she's in a deep pit of depression that she realized only quite recently and it's still halfway in the denial stage because, even if she realized that, she hasn't call her therapist yet.

Yes, this ass could be a little dumb sometimes.

Coming back on why she didn't enjoy her Sunday: her depression literally forbid her to do any work for my job Thursday and Friday. TOO BAD she has two deadlines for Monday the 6th (and she thought that the 6th was Tuesday. Sad realization of the Friday night). Of course she thought she could spring a 3 day work on 8 hours (yes, we can; more or less) BUT, thanks to the sad realization of Friday night, that wasn't feasible anymore.

SO, she decided: OK! I will work both days in the weekend!

Of course, Saturday nothing happened. She binge watched Criminal Minds (yes, WE KNOW) till 1AM, because that's how deep in the pit she is.

Today she woke up at noon (as per usual for the weekends) and while procrastinating in bed she came up with the chant "today's the day we make anxiety go away" (yes, it's basic, but hey! whatever works!).

That's because the more I procrastinate the more my Anxiety grow stronger and THAT'S NOT SOMETHING SHE NEEDS.

Result: she was able to do the work of 2 days in less than 8hrs for the first project (yeah, she always quote more time because it's what you do, don't you ever quote real time it takes for you to do shit or you'll never have a breather at work). Too bad she has now a sheet FULL of questions that she could have the answer Thursday already and the project can't be completed without them.

And now it's time for her second project... which she's not sure what task she has to do. According to her calendar, she did a call two weeks ago about one of them but she doesn't remember shit (not surprising since it's been two weeks of ONLY CALLS and she HATED every minute of them). The other one she remember, but not what they said to do in the meeting. So she will now do the second one because it has the biggest probabilities to be the one and tomorrow, she will ask a coworker to review it.

Thank you for following another episode of "How fuck up is my brain?"

Maybe you're an old soul. Maybe I'm just neurodivergent. 🤷‍♀️

Does anyone else at school feel as if they're missing something? Like, let's say everyone's brains are cars. Everyone has a slightly different one and all work slightly differently but are all relatively similar.

So, Does anyone ever feel as if they've been given their Brain Car but not the knowledge or ability to drive or take care of it? Where do I find the User Manual?!

Right now, every time my Brain Car breaks down or I crash I am just stuck waiting on the side of the road until someone is able to stop and help me right myself again.

You don't need Wikipedia, you need seven neurodivergent friends with wildly different special interests.

I zoned out writing, today, and suddenly I realized that six hours had past and that I had written 7k words in one chapter and I'm nowhere near finished with my thoughts! ADHD apparently took the wheel with some deep hyperfocus, and God only knows what that asshole created. Wheeeeeeee!

This is for the people who didn’t party in their teens and twenties. For the people who didn’t have that “coming of age” movie experience with shenanigans and revelations. This is for the people who mostly keep to themselves. Who maybe prefer things to be quieter and gentler. This is for the people who don’t feel like they belong in a culture that values loud parties and flashing lights. I see you. And you are valid.

There’s no such thing as work-life balance for neurodivergent & chronically ill people.

This is because everything in my life requires work:

maintaining friendships

keeping up with my hygiene

managing bills

making money

remembering my basic needs

sleeping regularly

outputting creatively

All requires some aspect of work for me.

And when everything in your life requires work, your balance goes out the window.

If you're neurodivergent and overwhelmed — I see you.

If you're chronically ill and overwhelmed — I see you.

You're not dysfunctional.

You're not incapable.

You're doing your best.

Idk what this strain is, but the ratio of green:purple just makes me think of the bagged mixed salads you can get at supermarkets… 😂🥴

sometimes i feel like people forget autism is a disability. and that’s not a bad thing! i’m all for disability acceptance, im proud of my disabilities. but i feel like we forget autism can hurt.

it hurts that i have to put more time and energy into socializing than others.

it hurts when i need to move so bad, usually cause im overwhelmed by either my surroundings or emotions, that i thrash and hurt myself.

it hurts that i cant be in places that are too loud or too bright, which on bad days can be as simple as a small, quiet noise or dim lights.

it hurts that i struggle to tell when im hungry, thirsty, tired, etc. so i can’t properly take care of myself. it doesn’t help my insomnia and i get very nauseas and get UTIs.

i 100% believe in autism acceptance. i don’t want a cure. but i also want us the acknowledge that it can hurt. it doesn’t mean my entire life will hurt, but some parts will. and i want a community where we can see both sides, see the hurt, and celebrate it anyway.

A Friendly Autism Family Story

[Image Description: The foreground is a peak of a golden sand dune with tufts of beach grass sweeping up both sides opens up show a lush, green, and very sandy landscape. In background an impossibly blue Lake Michigan rolls out to a distant island. The sky from blue to blue, as if you were stuck in the middle of the first Tumblr post ever.]

My sister and I were in northern Michigan, enjoying the sandy beaches and unphanthomly clear waters of Lake Michigan. The waves splashed around us as we walked and talked about life and love and all those sisterly things. Something caught Kız's eye as we made our way along the shoreline. Picking it up, Kız announced, proudly, "I found a green rock for Princess. I know she likes green rocks. Give it to her and tell her I found it."

When I got home, I gave Princess the rock, and made sure that she knew that Kız found it for her.
