i find it interesting the overlap of c-ptsd symptoms with autistic traits.
i get asked all the time if im autistic. i even started questioning it myself just from how often this happened to me.
but while yes i have a lot of symptoms that are a part of many autistic peoples experiences, i wasnt always this way. i developed these symptoms throughout my childhood as i went through more and more trauma.
i remember when i wasnt sensitive to noise, light, etc. i remember when my social abilities were practically the same as my neurotypical peers. i remember when i never needed to carry stim toys everywhere i went. just to name a few.
anyways, i have so much in common with my autistic friends. while we arent the same, we get each other on a level that i havent found with many neurotypicals. ive also found that i often gravitate towards autistic people without meaning to.
i think its nice that we can find community where we didnt really expect it.
i hate how my illnesses can change how im seen as a person - like because im sick i cant do a lot of things and it makes me seem flaky but i want to be there i just cant
this is a controversial opinion and Iโm not a gamer but I donโt need my graphics to be that good. I donโt need to see every individual feather on a bird. my poor computer doesnโt deserve to carry that weight either.
I honestly don't care if any disabled person is able to do anything or not.
Human lives have values for being human lives, and disabled people are humans.
just got a second hand babydoll dress i am WINNING.
laughs at how its less than a day since i answered this and my number has already gone up again ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
it hurts hearing other disabled people talk about medical mistreatment.
like i am partly grateful to not be alone of course, but i really wish it wasnt a common or even standard occurrence.
breaks my heart.
I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought โwhy do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff,โ so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? Itโs alright if you canโt because apparently I fuckin couldnโt either
i feel so disconnected from myself and my life, it kinda feels like im on autopilot or smth
life doesnt feel very real or tangible, it feels distant
