I’ve been obsessed with this idea for a while. And obsessed with stickers since before I was born I think. Maybe I was Lisa Frank in my past life?
This one is not in the wild- I have just in the last year been posting publicly. I would love to hear how you read it and if it brings any thoughts to mind.
Do you have a physical habit that is bad for you (such as scratching, hair pulling, etc.) but is sooooooo hard to stop??
*scratches head in nervous anticipation*
Would this drive you nuts?!
My autistic evil superpower is manipulation. I think it’s because I’ve had to study how to act for so long that the patterns are kind of mapped. Strategic evil manipulation, if you will. For real though. What’s your thing??
It has been such an interesting journey learning that I actually had autism midlife. I always kind of played with the idea, but was never sure.
It has given me the permission to forgive myself for a lot of things and lets me be myself. I’ve learned my favorite stims even. So helpful.
If I had realized how many of my ‘quirks’ were obvious signs of autism- like hand-flapping for gods sakes!!! You’d think someone would notice. But I’m a woman. And I’m smart. And I have a job. But I’ve had happy hands a long ass time.
