When Your Friend Recommends A Show To You But You’re On The Spectrum

"War and Peace", Leo Tolstoy (translated by Constance Garnett)

1. Baggy Clothes

2. Water Activities

3. Freeze Your Food (frozen grapes are great imo)

4. Don’t Be Afraid To Stay Inside

5. Meal-Prep

Pov: you are autistic

You got your headphones on. You're playing loud soundtracks from anime/video games/movies etc, you're vibing out, you pretend you're running at bad guys, dragons, monsters, whatever, ready for battle!

BUT!

Somebody WALKS into the same room as you WHILE you are having this vibing stimming moment and you see them, and you feel SO embarrassed like you got caught with your hand stuck in the cookie jar.

• no, it's not painful to walk for abled-bodied people

• no, healthy people don't usually use every chance they get to lean against walls or sit down

• no, ableds don't dream about shower stool

• no, ableds don't celebrate days when they're not in pain. because usually they're not in pain

• no, ableds don't want to stop walking mid-way, lay down on the ground, curl up and cry and whine from pain

• no, ableds aren't exhausted by their own bodies 24/7
