It’s OK – The Autistic Mermaid
https://theaspiemermaid.wordpress.com/2016/05/27/its-ok
It’s ok that you don’t like fancy dress. It’s ok that you would rather live most of your life in your bedroom when you have a whole house at your disposal. It’s ok that you have to ask you parents for help sometimes. It’s ok that some days the only social interaction you have is on Twitter. It’s ok that you don’t like wearing high heels when you’re only 5 ft tall. It’s ok that your happy place is anywhere that books are. It’s ok that your dream destination is an isolated log cabin in a forest. It’s...

Midnight Mass-ive Fail – Confessions of a Loony Genius*
https://loonygenius.wordpress.com/2016/12/25/midnight-mass-ive-fail
Confessions of a Loony Genius*. Date: December 25, 2016. At 11PM tonight I accompanied my 2-years-younger brother to Midnight Mass at the church in our village. Having peered in the window a couple of times in the past, I was curious to see what it’s like and since he was committing to going this year, I decided I would too. I asked him if he found it nourishing? Coming to terms with it, and I am. I am so ashamed to hear this because given the state I was in that night, unfortunately I don’t think ...

Eventful Autism – Autism and expectations
https://autnot.wordpress.com/2016/12/27/eventful-autism
The thoughts of an autistic woman. December 27, 2016. December 27, 2016. Winter is a time of events and social quandaries. This year I have been kinder to myself about ensuring I get some recovery time. It’s so important. Such a huge part of self-care. Then it passes, and I step back. Sometimes I take refuge in talking to children. Maybe my bluntness works better with them. I don’t stare into their eyes, I don’t touch them and demand hugs or contact, I smile and listen. Sometimes ...It is hard. It...

Confessions of a Loony Genius*. Things that never bore me. Date: October 2, 2016. Puns puns puns and especially anything involving whatever-this-is-called, like:. I used to challenge myself to complete tasks like “how many words can I think up that end in ‘ii’? 8221; or “what palindromes. Can I think of in 2 minutes? 8221; or “how many words can I make out of [insert word here]” or “which words have all 5 vowels in? 8221; or “which words have no vowels in? 8221; – psst… I like.

[reblog] Gaslighting – Confessions of a Loony Genius*
https://loonygenius.wordpress.com/2016/10/06/gaslighting
Confessions of a Loony Genius*. Date: October 6, 2016. 8220;I was trained to believe that other people saw the world in the right way, so I could rely on other people to tell me what was real, I couldn’t rely on myself. I like that this author highlights the paradox that in all of these situations the neurotypicals lack the ‘theory of mind’ that us neurodiverse seem to lack too. Time to start trusting myself and creating or rediscovering Who I Am. Being an undiagnosed autistic has many challenges. Gaslig...
