Who else is with me on my theory that there is cat autism and there is dog autism.

Cat autism:

- usually introverted (exceptions can be made)

- Stare into the void and forget that you're supposed to be taking rapid notes in class

- Switching very quickly from understimulated to overstimulated

- Sleep>>>>>

- Hissing (but most of the time you have to mask it bc then people think you're weird for doing that 😃)

- "How to let someone know you appreciate them when you dont know how"

- Seen as rude and insensitive

Dog autism:

- Usually extroverted (again, exceptions can be made)

- Unintentionally loud

- "I will do anything for you fav person"

- If you give them anything even if it's a fucking gum wrapper they will cherish it for their entire life

- Blurts out thoughts

- Seen as over affectionate and emotional

BOTH:

- Just screaming/yelping as communication

- Gift giving

- DESPISE fireworks/any sudden loud noise

IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER IDEAS Y'ALL HAVE REBLOG I WANNA HEAR THEM (yes some of this is taken from one of Dannyphantom.exe's videos)

I know this because me and my other IRL autistic friend are a PRIME example of why I believe this theory

(EDIT: also I believe there are subcategories. Like black cats and orange cats, golden retrievers and huskies, etc)

I have Thalassophobia but I'm so deeply fascinated by deep sea creatures and giants but there is no way you'll talk me into putting my head under water in a bath tub or going further than my knees in the sea.

Even if I don't have an ADHD or autism diagnosis, treating myself like I have both has been so freeing. I put in noise cancelling headphones when I'm overstimulated. I sit on the floor in the research lab to work because no one in there cares and I like the floor better than my desk. I cut out the tags on my shirts. I use adhd-friendly organizational tips. I let myself stim in public without feeling bad. I was always taught not to do any of that stuff in order to seem "normal" and conform. I finally gave myself permission to do things that make me feel less shitty in my day to day existence. I gave myself permission to be kind to myself.

So reminder to all the people out there like me: you don't have to wait for a diagnosis to implement things in your life that make you more comfortable.

vent (ugh) looking for maybe shared experiences or reassurance that this isnt my fault? cw swearing

this past month or so has been hell for me. ive begun involuntary unmasking (after involuntary masking) and it feels like my world is caving in. i also have horrible “emotional permanence” (for lack of a better term) so feeling like shit for a few mins is the same as feeling like shit all day, and i essentially forget any other feelings i had during the other parts of my day. im completely touch avoidant except in certain circumstances, i feel burnt out despite only having 2 classes, i feel scared and trapped even though nothing is trapping me. my insecure nature from middle school is coming back. im socially awkward and anxious again. i cant tell tone or read body language for the life of me. i dont know how to make my voice sound manly again. im barely passing as male. im so fucking lost and afraid.

(not to mention i can’t exercise which was my main way of relaxing due to my annoying ass hip and knee joints)

after expressing what felt like true joy for the first time in a while via flappy hands, ive come to realize that maybe my “dull emotions” stem from the fact that my expression of vibrant emotions is frowned upon/shunned.

when i was aggressively flapping my hands i felt real, pure joy. i havent felt it in a while because just smiling or laughing doesnt do it for me.

Undiagnosed Audhd culture is having a butt load of “mini routines” instead of strict routines or schedules (because it’s easier to keep and you can still have some spontaneity.)

(ex, I wash my hands in a certain order every time, I put on my clothes in a certain order, I have one app I always use in social situations for familiarity, I get ready for school in the same order every weekday, I solve problems using the same method(s) every time, I eat my food in the same spot every day, I sleep with the same things around me every day no matter my location)

Anyone else who (properly) self diagnoses, do you ever just feel like you're faking it even though your professionally diagnosed autistic friends say that "yes, as an autistic person you are definitely autistic." Like it just SUCKS man.

Especially when it's an AuDHD situation where you have special interests AND hyperfixations, AND YOUR HYPERFIXATION IS AUTISM SO YOU THINK THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE OBSESSED WITH FUNNY RELATABLE AUTISTIC TUMBLR POSTS FOR NO REASON IS WHY YOU'RE "COPYING" IT TO FEEL SPECIAL ACCORDING TO THE BULLY IN YOUR BRAIN

I can't get professionally diagnosed because it's hella expensive (welcome to 'Murica), but I have done months and months of research and have pretty much concluded that I have AuDHD + anxiety and depression (since they often are bundled up together with the more stressed out peeps), but even with how much I've looked up all sorts of mental disorders/disabilities, I can't help but feel that I'm just faking it all for relatability and attention.

I decided to try out kinbor weeks. Since 2024 hasn't yet started, I decided to experiment with some layouts on notes pages before the start of a new year. Honestly, my anxiety about tasks is down quite a bit because there is not as much white space to fill as it was in Leuchtturm 1917 vertical weeklies. Plus kinbor size is much better for me and the planner is lightweight. Also I want to note that kinbor paper isn't printer white and also isn't very cream. It's right in the middle and I kinda like it even tho I'm more of a cream color person.

Honestly, I've been a little lazy with tracking anything that's not mental health related because I've been obsessing over my new guitar so things became forgotten.

Idk if this is controversial but “high/low support needs” doesn’t feel any better to me than “high/low functioning” my brain processes them as the same sentiment. Idk if I’m the only one? Obviously I don’t personally know every autistic ever, but in my experience both firsthand and through six years of community research, it seems to me that support needs/function levels tend to fluctuate throughout a persons life. And it’s all relative. And I think that applies to humans regardless of neurotype, not just autistics. Maybe I’m wrong, I’m not all-knowing, that’s just what makes sense to me.

EDIT: If you see things differently that is valid. If you personally identify with support needs labels that is valid. If they help you navigate the world and your place in it, that is valid. Just like its valid for me to feel extremely uncomfortable and often triggered by them. Don’t try to tell me its not. Again, this is just what makes sense to me. Thanks.
